We have hitherto been prevented, by a press of , from laying before our Readers an import- document which reached us on Monday, entitled Proposition of the Minister of his Imperial and liyal aid Apostolic Majesty, President of the Ger- laic Did," founded, as it appears, upon the agree- lea eraered into at she Conferences at Carlsbad. In ti introduction, it is stated, that " his Imperial Ma- etj (the Emperor of AusTaiii) is persuaded, :has A the Members of the Confederation participate rith him in the wish, that the Diet, before it ad- Furas, should direct their particular attention to that nrit of disquietude and fermentation, which has been fr some years, and is now from day to day more and net distinctly manifested in Germany, and which has keserinced by publications openly seditious, by cri- minalconspiracies, embracing more than one part of Cl:many, by individual offences and atrocious at- eaTts. His Majesty desires that this Assembly should eizasly investigate the causes which have given birth to these disorders, and the proper means of securing, fr the future, the public tranquillity, respect for the hr. confidence in Governments, general calm and ta:entraent, and the tranquil possession of all those benefits which the German Princes, under the pro• action of a Peace solidly guaranteed to Europe, have cuterml upon or prepared for the enjoyment o their people. The sources of the evil, to the progres u which the Governments cf Germany are loudl: oiled upon t 9 put an end, may be traced in part, i istme, to temporary embarrassments and derange mots, caused by circumstances over which no Ge vestment can directly or immediately hive any cos ucul ; but they are also to be attributed to defect %rites, or to positive abuses, which it is, doubdes ;ts6ble to remedy by measures well concerted, at taturely combined." The attention of the Diet is then called to the fa azming I. The incertitude which exists relative to the same of the A:t.cle of the Federal Act, and the Else interpretations wh lie resulted from such incertitude. `L. The seam of an exact definition of the rights and power Fedi ntive Diet, and the necessary means to enforce tl Mt vice; of Public Education in the Schools and TJni' t The:buses of the Press, and especially the excesses wl 44 C been manifested in the Journals, periodical Writings, Ibutural Pamphlets. With regard to the first, respecting Representa . , semblies, the Diet is invited to pronounce, as s passible, on the precise meaning of the Fed r Article, putting aside abstract theories and for F. tsdels, and consulting history, public law, and inz itnpur. case miler means fail, to execute the Decrees of Diet by means of the Military force of the ,nfederation. Respecting the third object, it is proposed, that le Sovereign should appoint at each University a commissioner Extraordinary, who should have the ►wer of enforcing a rigorous discipline. .With reference to the fourth object, the abuses of ,re Press, it is proposed to'establish a previous Cen sorship, to give a power to the Diet of suppressing 'ny Journal or Periodical Work, and preventing the Alitor of such suppressed work from editing any Cher publication, during five years, in any State of ►e Confederation. There is a fifth article added, proposing the itn lcdiatc establishment of a Central Commission at layence, for the trial of seditious offences, including !very thir.g that it may be chosen so to denominate. It must be obvious, from the above propositions, that it is the object of tha leading Governments of Germany to destroy, as far as possible, every vestige of freedom in that ill-fated country. In this document we ate told, that" the disorders :hich the abuse of the liberty of the Press has given rise to in German's, have been greatly augmented itice several delibei alive assemblies have introduced Me mblicity of their Debates, and have extended it, to transactions which ought never to have issued from the sanctuary of Senates, but under regular and so lemn forms, and ought never to have served to feed a vain cariosity, or superficial criticism." We are told also, that the 13th article of the Federal Act has bees misconceived ; that the States alluded to in it ought not to be confounded with Democratic prin. ciples and forms ; that the pretensions built on this misconception are evidently incompatible with the essence of Monarchical Governments; and that the idea of transplanting to the soil of Germany the insti tutions of this or that foreign country, meaning thereby a Constitution like that of France or England, is ab surd and chimerical in the highest degree. The States of Bavaria and Baden are, therefore, to assemble no more. The Decree proposed to the Diet by the Austrian Minister has been adopted, and, as far as depends on the Sovereigns, the doom of Germany is sealed. There is at once an end of Constitutions, an end of the Liberty of the Press, an end of the Independence of the Universities, and the reign of pure Monarchy, or that of " the concentration of the Supreme Power on a single point," in the language of the Austrian Minister, aided by a Universal Police, which is to have its head-quarters in the fortress of Mentz, is hereafter to be undisturbed by any of the above " Democratic excrescences." What have the people to do with national affairs? This is a vain curiosity, and any criticism of the measures of Government must of course be superficial criticism. As to the Army of Execution of the Diet, the idea is a mere farce. The population of Germany is about 29,000,000. Of this population, the Del man part Of Austria is 9,283,000, and the German part of Prussia 7,616,000. But the population of Austria is alto gether 28,000,000, and in 1815 kept up an army of 535,000 men. Should Austria prove refractory, where is the force to reduce her to obedience? A pretty federation this, to be sure! The Deputy from lre nezuela has received an official communication, dated Juan Griego, Margarita, rela tive to the successful operations of the Patriots. The following is an extract : a I now communicate to you intelligence of the highly-important achievement of the capture of Bar celona by General Urdaneta. Our squadron, com posed of 15 ships of war, is at this moment blockad ing Cumana, in which it shuts up the Spanish squad ron, composed of six large vessels, among which is the frigate Nimpha, and also eighl flecheras. These ships will all, undoubtedly, fall into our hands. The Spaniards never could believe that such an expedition could sail from Margarita; but they have been un deceived, to their utter astonishment." From Private Letters we learn, that, at the taking of Barcelona, three Spanish vessels, which had arrived with a reinforcement to the Garrison, fell into the hands of the Patriots. Among the names attached to the Requisition pre sented to the HIGH SHERIFF of Essex, to call a County Meeting for the purpose of taking into con sideration the propriety of presenting an Address to the PRINCE REGENT, on the subject of the late oc currences which have taken place at Manchester, are the following : Lord Maynard, Sir:Thomas Apreece, Sir Thomas Barrett Lennard, W.

A Requisition, signed by about a hundred inhabi tants, has been placarded about Sheffield, calling a General Meeting on Monday next, the 11th inst. to consider the conduct of the Manchester Magistrates on the 16th of August last.—Shcfseld Iris. Lord HOLLAND had yesterday an audience of the PRINCE URGENT. It was, however, solely for the purpose of presenting a Petition of the Corporation of Nottingham, of which his Lordship is Recorder. The Petition is, we understand, in the spirit of the Yoslishire Requisition prays' for an inquiry into the- late transactions. -deprecates all illegal inter ference with Public Meetings--and, while it dis claims all connection with visionary or ill-designing men, justly observes, that itothing is more certain of giving them popularity, than any attempt to put them down with violence unauthurixed by law. . • REFORM MEETING AT FIALIFAL 1 .

Sailed the Eclipse packet, forolitto ; 'They t h en pl a yed " Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace and Lord Nelson packet, for Holland, both with Mails. bled"—" Rule Britannia," &c, The steady silent march of the people, the appearance of the black crape on the hats and banners, added to the awful , sound of the muffled drum, gave an air of solemnity and sorrow to the Procession, which seemed to be universally felt. The feeling thus excited was height- , ened by the figures and mottoes on the different ban ners. Several persons bore staves with black crape upon the points of them. All those who had white hats wore black crapes, while many of the lower or ders who had black hats, wore white ribands, or coloured paper upon them. On those papers were written—" Keep Order—We will be free. They were of different colours—red, white, green, and blue. As the Procession passed along it increased and, on clearing the town, some thousands of people, from 'the adjoining . villages, were seen approaching with banners, music, &c. As the assemblage ap proached the hustings, erected on the Moor, it in creased considerably. In every direction were seen crowds bending their way to the grand centre. We counted upwards of forty flags, the greater part of which were ornamented in a superior style. They were generally encircled with ribbands tastefully ar ranged, and of various colours, suited to the inscrip tions upon them. There were also several Caps of Liberty, (eight at least) ornamented in the most fan ciful manner. The several parties were so much mingled together on approaching the hustings; that we could not distinguish the different villages to which they belonged. Almost all the flags were bordered with black crape, and many of them had small edgings of white crape outside the black. One flag represented a man fettered, bearing on his back a double burthen, on one of which was written— ." Debt," on the other—" Taxation; above the figure were the words—" A free-born Englishman ; un derneath—" We will not be slaves.' The next flag which attracted our attention, was one on which there was an urn (painted black), over which was the word " Resurgam,' and underneath—" Aug. 16, 1819." The next represented a figure of Justice, with her scales and dagger ; underneath were these lines : " With heartfelt grief we mourn for those Who have fallen victims in our cause ; While we with indignation view, • The bloody field of Peterloo !" A white flag, surrounded with black crape, next dis played the figure of a Manchester Yeoman, in full uniform, galloping over men and children, and striking with the utmost fury at a woman with an in• fent, covered with blood, falling from her arms.— Aboie, around, and beneath this gallant , cavalier, were the words " Proud • look, lyg gue, and hands stained with innocent blood." Another flag displayed the picture of a man in rags, whose limbs were gored by the fetters in which he was confined, and sinking under the weight of two heavy burdens, which were inscribed " Debt and Taxation." It was surmounted by the words " A free born Englishman ;" and, underneath was written— "We will not be slaves." As several other banners possessed no novelty, it will be merely sufficient to mention their inscriptions, without distinguishing the colours in which they were stamped. " Hold to the laws," was one ; " Freedom is our birthright," ano ther. On a third were the words—" No murder with impunitv r whilst on the reverse was exhibited, " The Constitution is our rallying point:' In the same spirit with the last motto was the following—" The Constitution, the whole Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution." We observed also these in scriptions—" We groan, being burdened, waiting to be delivered ;" underneath which was written, " Debt and taxation is shame ;" end again under that, " But we rejoice in hope of Jubilee." On a white and blue flag we beheld the words " Corruption is falling." On another, two hands grasping each other, and carrying two small branches of olive ; this emblem was adorned by the words, " Unite, and he free."— On the black flags were itten—" He that shedde.h man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." " Gcu armeth the just : the Judge of ail the earth, he will do right." " When he - aketh inquisition for bleed, of whose hands will he mortal memory of the RI chester." "We mourn Manchester:' Several other banners which were inscribed, " Equity cannot enter: tion, without Representat men, and will not be trap no masters save all-creati , he imposes on himself - " Urall tax " Reformation " From cruelty and or us!"

A piece of ground of 16 miles, and on an indifferent road, was marked out. The parties startcd at opposite ends, at the same time, and there was not 50 yards difference between them at the eight miles, the Captain having the lead. Mr. BRIGGS was declared the winner, he having done, within a few yards, thir teen miles and a half, and the Captain, whose horse broke into •frittop twice. did thirteen miles with the two turns.

Mr. PEEL. -- --- Lord StuatooTit and Lord HOLLAND had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT,' at Carlton-House, when Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition to his Royal Highness from Nottingham. DRiIRY-LANE THEATRE.—This splendid edifice was again graced last night by an elegant and crowded audience, assembled to witness a repetition of the per formance of O'KEEFE'S lively • Comedy of Wild Oats. Mr. ELLISTON, as Rover, was even more successful than on Monday evening, and the audience did not allow a single sentence of the Piece, which could, in the most distant manner, be made to apply to the recent changes in the Establishment, to pass unno ticed. The Comedy was followed by the favourite Musical Farce of No Sung, no Sumer, in which Miss Povev made her debut in the character of Marga retta. She was received very favourable, and will prove an accession to the Operatic Corps of the', Theatre. Covexv GARDEN.—Last night the Tragedy of /la-, belle was performed at this Theatre. The part of the heroine of the Piece was sustained by Mrs. BUNK. Her performance throughout was very successful, and she met with considerable applause. MACREADY played Biron and was loudly and deservedly ap plauded.—After the Tragedy, a new Piece; described as a Dramatic Legend, and called The Gnome King; or, the Giant Mountain, was produced for the first time, and very favourably received. Extract of a letter from Sierra Leone, dated 9th March:—" It is with the deepest regret I inform yon, that, notwithstanding the liberality of Great Etitain, and the faith of treaties, the coast swarms with slave vessels, dragging thousands of its miserable inhabi• tants into endless captivity. A few days ago arrived here the Union, of Liverpool : the Supercargo states, that during his stay in the river Calaba, not less than eight vessels, averaging 500 slaves each, had sailed for the Spanish Colonies.": The Dublin Evening Post, of 2d October, contains the following :—" Yesterday we received exclusively a letter from a highly respectable Gentleman, dated Kingston, Jamaica, August 6, in which he says Ro uyn R has taken Santa Fe, in Now Grenada. This news arrived the day before yesterday, by a vessel direct from the Main. We previously had intelli gence of his being within four day's march of it, which renders the account of tl.e Capital having fal len into his hands the more probable."
