TILZGRANIL) THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS. , FRANKFORT Avoca 29. The bpeeisil debate of the Congress upon the points reserved for the conference of ministers has been closed. The proposition for a Directorate of six has been adopted. Au understanding has been come to upon the other points set apart for debate. FRANKFORT, AUIUBT 90. _ The report of the Congress was brought up to day, and the establishment of the protocol will take place iu the course of the week. It is asserted that Baden has hitherto maintained an entirely negative attitude towards the proposi tions for reform. Upon the 28th inst. Count Rechberg issued a cir cular to the German sovereigns urgently recom mending the acceptance of the reform project en bloc. U• the night of the 28th an Austrian memo -madam was banded direct to the Princes. The memorandum declares that at the final vote upon the Reform Act Austria can only admit acceptance or rejection. The sole reserves per missible relate to the acquiescence of Prussia and the assent of the respective Chambers. In yesterday's sitting of the Congress a proposal, made by Mecklenburg Schwerin, to submit the entire transactions to Prussia for the expression al an opinion, was referred to • sub-committee after an animated debate. The quesidon of the Directorate was solved in accordance with the proposal of Barony and Nassau. The fifth member is to be nominated by Baden, the two Hesses, Lauenbing, the two Macklen burp, Nassau, and Brunswick. The relative weight of the votes to be in accordance with the full sittings of the Federal Diet. Unanimity to be requisite in changes of the constitution. The final vote of the Congress will take place to morrow. CARLEIBUHF, AUGUST 30. The Carisruher Zeitung of to-day says :—"lt is already certain that the views to wbicb the Princes at Frankfort incline, and which will finally find collective expression, deviate too widely from the principles entertained by the Grand Duke for him to be able to express his assent. " This difference of opinion, however, does not exclude Baden from participating in the Confe rences of ministers to follow the Congress of the Princes." DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, Ausuar 29. Count Manderstrocn, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, arrived here from Matins at 9 a.m. to-day, and Liftagain at noon.

The evening papers publish a manifesto from the N►tional Committee at Venice, censuring the con troversy raised by other committees of different parties in the name of Venetia.

The Raleigh (North Carolina) Standard contains a long article, said to be the joint production of Hon. R. 8. Donnell, formerly member of Congress from the eseond district of North Carolina, now the Speaker of the House of Commons of that State, and Hon. F. B. Satterthwaite, the presi dent of the governor's council of that State, and published with the approval of Governor Vance. It arraigns the Southern leaders for their com mencement of the war upon insufficient grounds, and charges them with being the authors of all the pending difficulties, and with having brought them on against the reason and the convictions of the people of the Southern Statue. It also acknow ledges that in prosecuting the war the Federal government has done no more than it could have been expected to do ; and, finally, proposes to send commissioners to Washington to arrange terms of negotiations for peaoe. The document is regarded as a semi-official exposition of the views of the government of North Carolina, and as indicating that the authorities as well as the people of that State are for an abatement of the rebellion and a return to the original status of the State in the Union. tionneript, front Washingte% reports that seventeen large steamers lad recently arrived at that port, having run the blockade, loaded with stores for the rebel army, among which were 96,000 English rifles , 160,000 army blankets,' ' 131,000 ready-made uniforms, 23,000 nuns of ready-made army shoes, eleven locomotives, six rifle cannon, heavy calibre, five cargoes of rail road iron, and skilful men accompanying them.

The President desires me to say that be fully appreciates the promptness which the Emperor has displayed in respooding to the nmailestatiote of these fealty. The following is General Dix's address, announc ing the time of commencement of the draft in New York : Illiskaarters Department of the East, New York City, August 17. To the Citizens of New York.—The draft of men in this city to repleoith the maks of the army, is order j to complete more speedily the suppression of the insorrectioa is the South, having, in consequence of forcible resistance to the executive of the law, been placed under my directions, se commanding °Meer of the I forms of the United States in this military department, I j have thought it net out of place to presetto you some rug gestic= far year comidsration, as friends of the Union and of the good order =society. The law ander Phi= the draft is to he mad* is for enroll. ta g and daisy eat the asthma fame. It is foetid= on the principle that every cities, who eajoye the protection ef the goverment, and looks to it for the security of his pro. ' Arty sad his life, may be celled out to mairoos of greet paid% danger to tits up Inns for the ociasmon defiant No political society can be held together =leas this principle Is I acknowledged as one to which the government may have procures when its existence is in peril. , titers is po girths= 1 country in which it is not recognised. The law authorising the drnft has be= persistently called I a conscription law by those who desire to make it *dims and defeat its execution. It is in no pest sere a coascription like that which was put in force in the sixth ' year of the French republic, and abandoned on the tuatara. j tioa of the Bourbons ea mom= of its oppressive exactioos. It is a simple law for enrolling acid calling into the • service the arms-bssrhig population of certain ages' and differs in so esseatial principle tram the law authorising the militia to he nand oat ; excepting that io the latter ease complete organieatiosi are brought into the field. The object j I of the very provisions of the law which are most beneficial to individuals, has beea most grossly perverted. If a drafted roan bade it inommenienit ; to serve, he is allowed to furnish a substitute; or to porolime his exemption tram service by paying the smalls= sum of money for which substitutes are ordinarily obtained. Both these provisions have the same purpose, to provide for mass of hardship, and if either were stricken out them cases woald be proportionably inatiored in number. The draft about to be made is for one-fifth part of all per moos between 20 and 33 years of age, and of the unmarried between 35 and 45. The entire clam believes 18 and 36 was bog since drafted in the Breed= States, and the draft has recently been extended to imbruee nearly the whole arms-bearing population. Compared with the burtheo they are sustaining, ours is as nothing. The con- I test on our part is to defend our natimality, to up hold the institutions under the protection of which we have lived and prospered, and to preserve un tarnished the mood memorise of our history, brief, it is true, hot foil of high achievements in seism*, is art, and in are.. Shall we, in such • OMNI, shrink from labours end morifices which our oneguidsd brethren is the seceded States are sustaining in the cause of trees= and social disorgauisatioo ? For the honour of New York let • la. care that the history of this refugia:is, more vast than any which has ever coevals= a nation, shall contain nothing tome= oar children blush for the patriotism of their fathers. Whatever objection there may be to the law authorising the draft, whatever defects it may have, it is the law of the land, and IfilliM•3100 to it is revolt against the mastituted authorities of the country. If one law CM be set at defiance say other any be, and the (=adagio= of all government may be broken up. Those who, in the history of political societies, have been the first to rat them selves up against the law, have bees the sweet victims of the disorder which they have created. The poor have a far deeper interest in maintaiiiing the inviolability of the law than the rich. Property, through the means it can command, is power. But the only security for those who have little more than life and the labour of their own hands to protect, lies in the supremacy of the law. On them and on those who are de- pendent on them, social disorder falls with fatal effect. The coottitutiMiality of the law authorisiog the draft has bees disputed. Near the close of the year 1814, when the eocatry was engaged is war with Great Britain, • similar law was moosiroended to congress by the government to draft men to 811 the ranks of the army, which was gallantly battling, as our armies are now, foe the nation's honour and life. Madison, one of the great expounders of emseliketios, which he took a prominent port in framing, wee President. Monroe, his saceemor, thee eating, both as Sears of State sad Secretary of War, addreseed to the Howe cif tativee a lucid argument is support lof the right of congress to peen such a law. Alexander J. Dallas was Secretary of the Treasury ; Mr. Jams, Secretary ' of the Navy ; Return J. Wigs, Pentameter Omani • and ' Richard Raah, Attorney-GeneraL The measure could sot well have received a higher party sanction. All laws ceased with the established lnialative forms are valid until de clared otherwise by judicial tribunals of competent juris diction. What would become of a people in critical emu.- geodes if no law conk' be curial into *Pot until it bad Pam tb• ordeal of the Parte or if irate or mankirol authorkina could aroma its execution by calling in peados ifs goof ormity to the proviaioos of the constitution? The Presidest his promptly consented to have it tested by judicial interpretation but while the ca t of v i c t or y is moviag es, sad treason is flying before it, God forbid that the SrM of New York or its constituted authorities should attempt to stay its program astil the judicial proems can coasummated. The acc uracyol the enrolment in the city districts his I been impeached, and a revisitsn wee immediately ordered by the President, on a representation from the governor of the State. But u the men are needed fur Immo diets sorrier., and as the correction of the returns requires time, the quota was ordered to be reduced in all the dis tricts—in some more than half the whole amount, leaving the account for future adjustmaut. The reduction in the quota exceeds in proportion the alleged ascots of the enrolment, so that no personal injustice can possibly occur. Under these circumstances, no good cities° will army himself, either by word or deed, against the (bah. Sub mission to the law in seasons of tranquillity is alwaye the highest of political duties. But, when the existence of the government is in peril, he who resats its authority commits a crime of the deepest turpitude. He is the volantin7 in @transept of the., who Ole seeking to overthrow it, and becomes himself a public enemy. Moreover, resistance to the government by those who are Krieg under.its protection, and are indebted to it for the daily Wave of their property sad their lives, Imo not ems the palliation ander which those who hod the lesurrection at the South auk to shelter thew selves—that they ius acting under oolour of authoriderived from legislatures et smugness of the peopl e l a th e row ti•estatak With vs resistance to the constituted authorities is both treasolitend lawless violence, mad if there are any who thus combine to re.emact the scenes of musty and devarta tion by which thin city has mouth beim diahmoured, and to defeat by force of arms the execution of the paramount law of camper, they will be treated u enemies of the country and of mankind. Retureing among than from • distaste, fellow•citizens, after more two yews of military service in the cause of the Linke/ uphold which this city has in all emergencies stood rads with • manly patriotism worthy of her high position, harlot no feeling but to see her good name pre served without b lemish, no wish but that site may cantinae ea the bag Mt bees, the most orderly of the peat com mercial auras of the age, I have Tutored to address to you these euggsatioes, to exhort you to the =datum°. of order, to °lndium to the law., and to the quiet pursuit of your umentemed avocations while the draft is in progress. Should these suggestions be dig. regarded by any um( you, and rescued attempts be made , 1 to disturb the public peace, to break down the berrieted which the law has set up for the security of property and life, sod to defeat the execution of a law which it is my duty to indorse, I warn all such persons that ample re paration has bees made to viodicate the authority of the government, and that the first exhibitions of disorder or violeoce will be rut by the most prompt and vigorous mea sures for their repression. JOHN A. Da, Najor.Genenl. (By Telegraph to Haldea.) - . The alto York Herald of the 20th observes : "There dill lingers a strong feeliog to opens the draft, swat .as outbreak at any_ point for • renewal of the tonne* Mrbanose. Men still eospapto at the street corners to discus the goestion, cad they seem oily strained from 111tiOltia boy a hops that the municipality will keep them from Me drift. It lOWA oily to require the onion of the authorities to take the men when provided. The municipality doss nothing to relieve, and a desperate redstance is sot unlikely." The Herald is surprised at the unfrisedly spirit exhibited by iresideut Lincoln towards New York is persevering in the Gawps( out of the draft which he knows is so odious to the people. It imomms a strange requital for ',relies nadorad to the war by New York to now wattle* risk its drielnation for a mare idea of no practical value to the government, but on the contrary highly injurious to its nos unarm& The Conscription Act is a milletone around the sack of the ad ministration, which will be sure to drag it down to political perdition." The New York Tribune considers the draft simply as an assertion of the right of the Republic to live ' and says "If government bad LO power to oompel military service it would be too weak to maintain a stable and permanent existence." The correspondent of the Herald, writing from Charleston, Ibth inst., says : Site, shots were fired for exparinmet upon Fort Sumter. Four were lodged fairly wise the =nary of the gorge wall, me struck near the parapet over a maintop, another Dear the base, and the others upon either Ode of the sally I port. Imams, uprising of beak and mortar followed the blows of these ponderous projectiles, and wide deep Wee in the masonry were clearly visible from the Federal batteries. The Confederates have organised soothrual bom bardments, interfering with the Federal operation at the. extreme front.
