Y 2 Tl;r, \i'Uft NEW ADDRESS TO TITS -KING. Atl(iSk; Uhl;. The .41genzeine Zeitiing contains - in three Supple ments to the 4th, 7th, and 9th of November, the new Address of the States of Wnrtemberg to the King, resolved upon in their sittings of the 20th, 23d, '24th, and 26th of October, and delivered to the Ministry on the 28th. This piece is extreme ly long, but the following abstract will give a . neneral idea of its principal contents.—(N.B. The passages given in full are marked by iinvta tions:)-- _ They begin by thanking his Majesty for the re-eisembling of the States ; they had deliberated upon his Rescript of the IGth October, witlr, the attention due to the importance of the subject, which had delayed their declaration. This Re script has excited very mixed sensations in them. They observe, that his Majesty acknowledges that only a common and free agreement can fix the re- , lations between the Sovereign and the country ; that the rights of the diffet emit provinces shall be respected as tar as is consistent with their union with Wurtemberg. Ills Majesty, indeed, does not give the old Constitution of li 7 ortemberg such a favourable testimony as in former times; hut his Majesty's declaration, that if the question con cerned only Old Wurtemberg, he would readily consent to the re-establishment of the former Constitution; with some modifications proceed ing from the States themselves, is an acknowledg ment that it can have nothing contrary to the principles of a wise Government ; nay, his Majesty evert says, that in the Constitution now to be form , d to 7 the whole kingdom, every thing shall be retained from the old Constitution, which can be adapted to ' , resent circumstances. Though all this would inch ie them to hope, that they were approaching the attainment of their wishes, and to indulge in feelings of the profoundest gratitude to his Majesty, yet, on the other hand. they find Irian) , things which almost destroy their hopes, and render it impossible for them immediately to consent to the re-opening of the Negociations for an arrangement. They then proceed to analyze the llescripts. They quote—l. The passage which says, "You scent to think that the prin ciple of the legal claims of Old and New Wur temberg to the ancient Constitution must be first acknowledged %ellen an agreement is in eptestion ; time establishment of this principle would render an agreement impossible, since what was to be set tled by nego-ciationi would be granted without discussion; and, we should declare ourself bound to apply to New NVurtemberg, what we consider as unsuitable for Old Wurtemberg." Upon this they make several observations. 1. A people can not be deprived against its will of a Constitution inherited from its, ancestors, and sworn to by all its Sovereigns (the States here and elsewhere uni formly employ the weal Regent, or person go 'ulling, Sovereign being in Ger Man expressive of . too much power to be applied to the former Princes of IVurtemberg ; Sovereign is therefore to - be understood. in this restricted sense.) 2d. The recognition of this principle is so far from making an agreement impossible, that none can be made without it, or at least no success could be expected from the negociationes " Aim ar rangement or compromise (in German Ver rleicl) is a 'convention of (Vertrzg) by which, the - differences 'upon an uncertaio :right are re- Moved . -by mutual concession. 'Sin+ an indis iintable cluitu as that of a nation to its Con stitution, can . never he the subject - of an ar rangement. Such is not the commission which undersigned have received from the-people to ibtroduce a new:system of rights by mutual con cvssion iu the way of• compromise, but to re store to life the Constitution which:elms been de facto destroyed, but never legallyalinlished, and to adapt it to the altered situation of things. How the Constitution is to be restortd, what changes it must undergo, this is the sole object of the commission they have received from Ate people ; aud can alone he the subject of common negocia tions." The States acknowledge that this'is a most important subject, but think they ought to be agreed upon the first principles. In the pre ceiling negociations the Commissioners from the States declared, the principle on which they went ; Royal Commissioners tried to evade it, and turned the negociationsatpon single points. They hope no better result from succeeding negociations, till both' paseies are agreed upon the principles. — His Majesty, they say, knows the melancholy si tuation of the whole kingdom ; he knows that a great part of his sub* , s are struggling with des pair. Nothing can be more ergent than speedily to restore to the subjects the enjoyment of their ancient rights, to traenuilize their minds, re-establish the credit of the State, which is most necessary, on account of the total in ability of many to piss, the taxes. They observe, that a new Constitution, .however good, cannot effort! any specciy relief; that the unhaispy trials of news Constitutions within these 25 years, and the misery they have spread over 'Europe, excite just mistrust of every new attempt ; and besides, a new agreement can have :no better guarantee than the solemn observance of the ancient -- It which his . Majesty had so lemnly sworn to, could be abolished on 30th De cember, 1505, while the Constitution still exist ed, and before the •union of the different pro vinces, and if this fact is to be a reason why Wurtemberg shall forfeit its ancient rights, and at the most have no further claim than a new Constitution, how could the• country believe- this new- Constitution inviolable They would will in-gly convince themselves that foreign force com pelled time change, but this foreign force is now vanished,' and the dignity of the Throne itself re quires that time ancient sacred relations between Sovereign and People he re-established, and on this ground also they cannot avoisl requiring the recognition Of the principle of the old Cousti- tution. On his Alnjesty's remark, that the principle would bind him to apply to New Wurtemberg, what tie " consider:l! as hot raitable to Ohl Wur - temberg." That tiffs is denying the obligatory force of the positive Constitutional Law of the old territories, except as far as may not he defective, in MS Majesty's opinion, a_ point on which they say his Majesty and the States may very likely differ. - 11. They frthluce several arguments against the assertion of the Rescript, that " the ancient Con stitution was intimately connected with the Con stitution of the Empire, and was properly founded (nem it." They ask, if in any of the documents, even in his Majesty's confirmation of the privi leges of the country, one syllable is said of the dependence of the Sovereign on the Emperor and the Empire ? Or that the conscientious Observ-i once of the laws of the country, assured only'as. long as external relations remain unchanged ? How can it be imagined for a moment, that the ceasing of the obligations to the Empire should be a reason for dissolving the Wilude COnStitution of the Country ? 111. They remarkon the( passage of the Re script which says, it cannot be expected that each of the different Provinces composing the king dom, can have an administration adapted to their several very different former Constitutions, g:es--s. They observe the Deputies from old ‘Vurtentherg, have as much respect for the rights of the new Provinces, as the Representatives of those Pro vinces themselves : they are convinced that there -only is and can he one Wurtemberg, but .neither (af them can allow the inference which- .seems to be deduced from these premises, that the rights of the old country are at an end, and that a new Constitntion must be made for the whole king dom. They proceed then to show, that these new acquisitions were made by the King, not as a private person, but as head of the State, and with the means furnished .by the Old States of Wurtemberg ; they are conquests made by Wur temberg ; when can they merely demand their-in corporation with itself ? They adduce the examples of territories of Germany destined "for indemnities in 1803, which all shared the same fate as the country to which they were united; if the Prussian acquisitions which were assimilated to the Prus sian State, not only in equality of duties but equality of rights, and even of the countries forcibly incorporated with France, which obtain ed all the rights which were partly of great coe sideration enjoyed by that country. IVlCat can be more just, than that a people which is joined to another, obey the same Rulers, and hears the same burdens, should also participate in the same rights ? The qmestion, however, is not whether the different Provinces shall be incor porated ; this is already done. tlis Majesty declared such to be his intention in his Speech from the Throne on the 15th of March ; and .in the Rescript of October 16, he de clares it absolutely necessary for the good of the whole. The question is, what influence can this union have on the state of the rights of the dif ferent Provinces ? After numerous arguments they observe, that supposing the newly-acquired Provinces to have had originally more limited rights than the old dominions, this can be no rea son for depriving the latter of their inherent pri vileges. But they observe, it may be proved that these Provinces could no, recover their formerhappy situation even by being fully admitted to the old Constitution; they would not think themselves full indemnified, aml shall they, by a new C o estitntiee, see their rights still more limited? This would be unjust, and still more unjust towards the old country. " Does it not. consent to every thing that the change of circumstances demands ? Is its situa tion bettered in any one respect ? Has it fewer burdens to bear than fornierly ? Has it not bled almost to death for these new conquests 1 And is it not sinking under the weight of the burdens - which arc imposed on it It is strange, .at- a time the necessity of continued intolerable burdens is represented as a consequence of the political changes of their country, to demand, at the same time, on account of the advantages resulting from this change, the sacrifice of a part of their rights, in which alone can hope for welfare and deliver ance. They give up what is inconsistent with the union of all the parts of the kingdom, but no more. His Majesty, when these new acquisitions were declared subject to Wurtemherg, immediately de prived them of all their peculiar rights, and sub jected them unconditionally to every burden and obligation to which the Mother Country was liable, declaring this to be a consequence of the incorporation ; unless this incorporation is to consist in a mere violent deprivation of hereditary rights without indemnity, it must necessarily in clude a participation in the rights as well as the duties of the old States. They further observe, that every increase of territory, every exchange, must render it necessary to give the Mother Country a new Constitution ; such a principle tnust endanger the love of the people for their country, and all public virtues. " The people of Wurtemberg have clone themselves by nothing •so much honour, as by their love to the Constitu tion, and by their grief at its loss. This Con stitution consecrates the rights, not of indivi duals, but of the people ; hence the people are so fondly attached to . it ; hence even the mention of its name has for theta a magic charm. May your Alajesty not destroy the love of the Consti tution ! At the same time with that must be de stroyed the love of the country, the noblest seeds of all 'public virtues ; nay, even the fidelity to the august reigning tastily, for whose happiness they never yet found any sacrifice too great." • Proceeding then to various other arguments its sipport or what they have adduced ) referring to the joy of the nation at the first convoking of the States, to their disappointment at the result, and to the danger of persevering in the present sys tem, they conclude by requesting his Majesty to declare, " that he acknowledges the old consti tution valid for the whole kingdom, with the re serve of such modifications as both parties shall judge necessary or proper. When they have re ceived this declaration, they will do every thing to bring the negociation to a inappy conchision, to tranquillize the people, and re s tore the good uu deest ending between King and People. Datcd Stuttgavdt, Ust. 26, 1615. .4vOLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. ItoBBERY ov TUE IViNDsoR-CoAcit.—Yester day was the day appOinted for the re-examination of the celebrated Prison-breaker, Robert Roberts; on snspicion of being concerned in the robbery of the Wioilsor Coach, from which a parcel, con taining, 19001. was stolen, and notes to the amontst of 40/. which ‘..-ere part of those .stolen, were af terwards paid into the Uxbridge by the pri soner, in the name of " J. Wainwright," who re ceived a bill at sight for the payment, and was in the act of presenting it for payment at Messrs. Masterman and Co.'s when he was apprehended by Lavender. At an early hour the office was crowded with a great number of highly respectable charac ters, among whom,were Colonel Istead, the Rev. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Green, &c., all of whom appear ed anxious to behold this prodigy of nefarious pe culation. Mr. Brown, the prosecutor, and Mr. Price, his attorney, having had sonic private con versation with the Magistrate, Mr. Colquhoun, this Gentleman observed to the spectators, " Gen tlemen, I presume, that besides many of those who have business here, there are a great many Gentlemen present_ whose curiosity has led them to the Office to hear the examination of that noto rious character, Robert Roberts. A circumstance which has occurred, has induced me to postpone the examination until next week ; consequently, th.e prisoner will not be put to the bar, and' I make this communication in order that you might not be delayed under an expectation of hearing the examination," The Gent:emen thanked Mr. COhpihoun for his politeness, and withdrew from the Office. A considerable degree Of anxiety was,. however, manifested to get a view of the author of so much distress and misery. Bow-sTREET. FOOMDS!—Yesterday,. John rind James BrOtkil p calling themselves brothers, who were- appre, !tended. by Mayhew's party .01 patrole on Sa turday se'nnight, in a lane leading to Hornsey Wood Ilonse, armed with pistols, and no -doubt for the purpose of coinn►itting robberies, were brought to the Office, and underwent a second examination, when Mr. Rich, the attorney, and a number of other Gentlemen, who have lately been robbed by footpads, attended, but none of them could identify either of them. They were remanded for a further i►t%'estigation. . HATTON-GARDEN. UNLAWFUL WEIGHTS.-YeSterday Josiah comb, a butcher, who lives. at No.-12, Lucas street, Gray's inn-lane, appeared to a summons to ans‘ver to an information laid against him by the Gentlemen wild go round to inspect weights and measures in the parish of St. Pancras, charg ing hint with having an iron pound weight in his possession, not stamped agreeable to the Act of Parliament. 'l4e charge being proved, the de fendant was convicted in the mitigated penalty of of 20s. and costs, which- he sternly ielmcd to pay, in consequence of which. there was an ortkr of distress issued for his goods and chattels. Yesterday mor ning, bet‘veen the hours of 12 and one o'clock, the wine and spirit cellar of the Neptune public-house, corner of Johnson-street, Somers Town, was attem;:ted to be broke open. The depredators had wrenched out the boltsavhich are placed in the middle of the doors by which the cross-bar is attached, and also had drawn the staple or bolt out of time wall to which the said bar is fastened, when a dog in the house gave the alarm, and the thieves made their. escape without being discovered, leaving behind the Marks of the tools, which appears to be crow-bars. It is only a few weeks since, that. the water pipes in that street, and those in Briclgewater-street adjoining, were close cut off by the . xvall, and all the ball cocks, and those in the butts, were carried off, excepting three or four . wich were prevented by' a dog giving - the.'alarm, and that dog has . since been stolen, no doubt but with:a view to .ensure.! success in those nocturnal depredations.—lt„ is'' svislied that the watchmeo would not so hastily'go round their beats, but walk slower, or that they would - if possible go rs k und every halt' hour in stead of a whole hour ; for there is no doubt hut on these occasions time watchmen are taken notice of when they leave their boxes, and before they - return that way again the villains have nearly an hour for their purpose. CORONER'S ItqauEsTF.i.Saturday an Inquest was held at the King's Head, High -street, Lam . beth, before Mr. JEistmt.r, the Coroner for Surrey, on the body of Joseph Groves, who was found drowned in the river Thames on Thursday morn ing last. It appeared in evidence, that the de ' ceased was a fisherman residing in Lambeth ; that . on Wednesday n i g ht he went our. in his boat, and about four o'clock the next morning his body was found drifted wider a barge near Westinirster bridge, by one of the watermen who plies there. Verdict—Accidentally drowned.—Another Invest was held at the Same house, before the same Co roner and Jury, on the body Of Thomas Scanlin, a labourer employed at the Strand-bridge who - it appeared fell from the pldtform into A barge load ed with "bricks lying beneath, by which his brains were dashed out, and lie died on the spot. Ver dict—Accidental Death. Gentlemen who having lived rather gay, and are about entering into conjugal felicity, are in fOrmed, that Doctor CoorEa, and three Surgeons of thirty years experience in Strictures, Fistulas, Debilities, and 'Scrofulous Diseases, have esta blished a Medical Board at Charlotte-hOuse; Great Charlotte-street, opposite the Rev.
