Salzburg, the place of meeting of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, 1865. The meeting of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia at Salzburg, for the purpose, no doubt, of explaining to each other personally the secret or reserved articles of their convention for the division of Schleswig-Holstein between them, took place on Saturday week...The town of Salzburg is situated 156 miles south-west of Vienna, in a narrow defile, half encircled by the Noric Alps, through an opening in which the River Salza passes out to join the Inn. The rich meadows watered by this stream, the wooded slopes and steep precipices which here or there form the boundary of its valley, and the ridges of hills which rise one beyond another till they are overtopped by the Alps, compose a very picturesque and attractive scene. The town itself is rather dull and gloomy, though it has...a fine old castle on the M?nchsberg, where the public garden or pleasure-ground...affords one of the most agreeable promenades...The population does not exceed 20,000, who carry on a small manufacturing industry and hold two fairs in the year. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
