Lnd when the constitutions were granted through out Germany, care was taken to make some pro vision for the liberty of the press. The prin• of its freedom was admitted on all sides, I )ut the Governments have since taken care to prevent the enactments which are to authorize the carrying that principle into operation. In Baden alone, thanks to the zealous patriotism of some of the members of its Chambers, and in particular to MM. Welcker, Rotteck, and Duttlinger, professors and deputies from Frei burg, this new blessing has been secured for their country. Dr. Welcker prepared a law for the administration of the liberty of the press, which is highly praised, anti which all over Ger many is held up as a model for the other legis latures. The press, since the Ist of March, has been free in Baden ; but its effects—as calculated to enlighten the Germans on their true state, and to point out their power—are dreaded by the Prussian and Austrian Cabinets. Hence they are about to use their old stalking-horse—the Diet in order to direct a blow against the liberty of the press, a blow that will eventually be repro duced in the most formidable manner on them selves. n the second, an abundance of pamphlets and rapers is supplied to all who wish to read the tcts of the Government. FRANKFORT, MA r. During the war carried on in 1813 and 1814 by the Germans for the expulsion of the French invaders, the cry of " Nationality" was heard for the first time. The sympathies of the people were awakened for their " Fatherland," a name which they love to bestow upon their native country. The statesman, the orator, the public writer, and the poet, exerted themselves in the task of spurring on the youth to liberate Ger many from the foreign yoke. The beautiful poems of Kcerner, the Prussian officer who fell fighting for the sacred cause, were then sung, and have since been preserved with delight by this musical and enthusiastic people. The youths at college, from every state, have learned to prize each other, and the internal divisions have melted in great measure away. The recol lections of the French rule of that period are not favourable to that nation, on the right bank of the Rhine, for they look upon the French as deceitful, " who caress with one hand and rob with the other." The fears that the French may yet attempt to take from Germany the provinces on the left bank of that river, hold strong power over the Germans. " Look," say the youths, " at Alsace, of which Louis XIV. deprived Germany 150 years ago ; the French, although they have merged the name of the province into those of the departments of the Upper and Lower Rhine, have not changed the people nor their language ; they both still belong to us." To Austria and to Prussia, the politicians who feel the weight of that incubus bear strong hatred also, and even in the provinces of the Rhine, of which the Prussian administration is by their writers praised as perfect, there is a calmness, a deliberation of dislike, that will one day do that Government great injury. The in habitants admit themselves to be Germans, but not Prussians; many, nay most, wish to become French again, for to them, as having introduced the Code Napoleon, the domination of their southern neighbours has proved advantageous. The Prussian and Bavarian Governments did not dare, on taking possession of the South Rhenane provinces, to change the laws ; and the Code, which adds more true glory than all his victories to the name of Napoleon, yet sub sists in those districts without any of th e im provements that have been since introduced by the French legislature. A german writer, residing at the University of Bonn, whose beautiful song beginning with the Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland—" What is the German's Fatherland ?" written to invoke the arms of the youth in favour of their country, will illustrate this feeling. He in some of his late publications states, that if the Rhenane provinces must belong to strangers, it is better to be still Prussian. The Prussians of the north, whose hatred towards the French is most remarkable, are displeased with the southrons for wishing for liberty. The answer of the latter is—" We wish to be free as the French, and to preserve our na tionality as Germans." In thetheatre at Berlin, a drama was lately represented, in which the fol lowing line was cheered with loudest applause Hinweg mit der freiheit, die der fremde bringt." " Away with the freedom that the stranger brings." It is not fortunate for Prussia that its rulers are as opposed to freedom as to France, for the former opposition is likely to cost them a bloody struggle near the Rhine. The German language is highly adapted for poetry, and the students of the Universities pass many pleasing hours in composing songs to rouse the national feelings of their countrymen. Several poets of the present day have already rendered themselves beloved for exquisite ballads that charm a whole people. Uhland, Swabe, and Pfitzer, have touched the true chord of German feelings, by lyrical compositions. The last has written one which no German youth will repeat without experiencing his heart glow. I will quote the first stanza :- 0 Deutscher ohne vaterland, 0 German without fatherland, 0 vogel ohne nest, 0 bird without a nest, 0 traumer an der klippe.rand, 0 dreamer on the craggy strand, Vie Ist dein schlaffso fest ? Why lie so long in rest? The cold calm adherents of Prussian and Austrian absolutism have learned to speculate upon those feelings, and they endeavour to per suade the Germans that the removal of Luxem burg from the kingdom of Holland to that of Belgium, is a new wound inflicted on the honour of the nation. This is, however, but a decep tion, for the purposes of some political knavery, particularly as the King of the latter country is known to be a German, an honour of which his Dutch Majesty can never boast. If Leopold allow the Duchy of Luxemburg to preserve its connexion with his native country, the Diet cannot refuse to allow him the right which the King of Holland has lost. But Belgian free dom will not be allowed by the absolutists to commune with Germans lest it should spread an infection. The aristocracy have some trifling Court Ga zettes, in which they look for their promotions And for the movements of their little sovereigns. ind of couriers announcing " some distinguished birth, marriage, or death," as an important event to some of the numerous Courts. There is, however, one paper said to be written in this sense, and which, from its peculiar advantages, has obtained great celebrity—the Allgemeine Zeitung, of Augsburg. This paper is the pro. perty of a bookseller named Colla, who, being a man of tact in business, has contrived to ob tain the good graces of the Ministers of Berlin and Vienna, to make a considerable fortune, and to gain lately the title of Baron. He is, more over, now employed as a diplomatist by his own King, in order to arrange certain commercial negotiations. One of the means which this negotiator uses, in order to insure Austrian news for his.paper, is the gift of about 1,000 florins annually to M. Pilate, editor of the Austrian Observer, and Secretary to Metternich, for his assistance. The other private secretaries also have a perquisite, and Metternich knows the fact and tolerates it, because it obliges his se cretaries, and, above all, because he is sure no article will be written calculated to do him injury. The circulation of this Ausburg jour nal is extensive, chiefly on account of its foreign news ; it is even allowed to enter Austria, but certain alterations are effected prior to its intro duction. M. le Baron Cotta professes to render his journal a vehicle for public opinion of every shade, and he sometimes inserts articles of a liberal nature for that purpose. Those who have seen the Augsburg Gazette know that is printed in a quarto form, with generally one or two sup plements, in the last of which the liberal article is to be found. The Austrian post-office de taches the offending supplement, and the paper is forwarded to the Austrian subscribers, who innocently suppose it contains all the news intact. if, by accident or mistake, an article is published in the first part of the paper which Metternich dislikes, the whole is reprinted at Vienna be fore despatched into the provinces. The impor tance of the journal to the absolute cabinets is such, that couriers frequently arrive from them to M. Cotta with instructions. It was by their intervention, through this channel, that the in telligence of the application and addresses of the Hungarian nobles and public committees to the Emperor of Austria, praying that succour might be given to the Poles, was kept back fourteen days from the public. Among the proofs of eagerness of the people, even in the absolute States, to read, may be mentioned the fact, that in Bohemia, where the farmers and peasantry do not understand German, the villagers frequently subscribe for the Gazette of Augsburgh, and have their parish priest to translate it for them, when they meet socially together in the evening. There is another journal of nearly the same principles, Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung—Ger man Universal Journal, which is published at Stutgard, and which is far superior in intelli gence of the internal affairs of Germany to the Gazette of Augsburgh ; but as it is a young paper, its circulation is as yet but circumscribed in comparison with the other. The journals of the pratriotic Reformers are not many : the chief at this moment is the Freisinnige (liberal), published at Freiburg, in the Baden province of Brisgau. It is edited by the ablest professors of the university there, and is considered calm and rational, and at the same time firm and decided in its defence of the li berties of that state, as well as the right of all Germans to free institutions. The ability with which it is conducted, as well as its good sense and resolution, have already alarmed the absolute Cabinets ; they have prohibited its introduction into their dominions ; and what makes their op position not a little ridiculous is, that the newly dressed Prussianized Duke of Brunswick was the first to issue his interdict against it. The ap pearance of this paper has astounded the mas. ters, and they are about to call upon the Diet to force the Duke of Baden, by an ordinance, to act as did Charles X., and to put it down. There are several other journals which advo cate free principles, but in a tame manner—the Correspondent of Nuremburg, the Mereure of Swabia, &c. Their timidity gives them no in fluence. The Correspondent of Hamburg once possessed respectability, but now, like that city, it is fearful of Prussia. This paper is re presented as altogether guided by, if not an ac tual organ of, the Cabinet of Berlin. The Frank fort paper is a journal of former times, which seldom dares to deviate from the old track. There are, notwithstanding the censure, several papers still continued with spirit in Wurtemberg and Bavaria, for although the latter Government has expelled all those not born in his states who dare to write to them, there are Bavarians found to utter their sentiments. To counteract them the p w t i l l b ic h i s i l i i t ed di a st p ri a b p u e t r es ca g l r l a e , Ba ier d tis,in Bavarian G overnment h as , s i nce t h e I st o f M arc h , t d o t Z a d e v i t o r c o a t g t e , order St a doctrines of absolutism.

Henry Co'burn and Richard Bentley, New Burlington street. The case of the German tribune is strongly illustrative of this truth. The King of Bavaria was on his accession considered faithful alike to his honour and to his interests, that is, he in 1825 offered to make good the promises of the Diet, by giving freedom to the press, but this line of conduct did not last, for he has since be come the mere tool of Metternich. The Cham bers being assembled in the capital of his king dom, asked that the employs should take the oath to the Constitution. The Government re fused to assent, but several of the officers and employes declared their willingness to give the solemn pledge of their adherence to the charter, and published declarations to that effect. The Government then ordered the strictest censure to be exercised over all the daily papers, so as to prevent comments on its conduct. This roused Dr. Wirth, a resolute man, then editing a paper in Munich, who claimed by the Constitution the right of publishing his opinions ; the Govern ment ordered the censor to strike out the offend ing passages. He published his papers whole, without paying attention to the erasures of the censors; they were seized,. and he was arrested, tried, and found not guilty ; but the continua tion of his paper subjected him in Bavaria Proper to such harassing treatment from the police and to frequent imprisonment, that he re resolved to go to the Rhenish provinces of that nation, where the Code Napoleon still prevails. The conduct of the Bavarian King, the third power in Germany, which six years ago held forth such flattering hopes to the Germans, has most bitterly altered, for instead of taking the lead on the road to glory, to freedom, and to ad vantage, he has yoked himself and his country to the heavy waggon which Metternich drives in darkness. His fellow-countrymen hate him as a traitor to the most sacred cause, and his king dom is likely soon to become a prey either to civil dissensions or to the Austrian army. Dr. Wirth having submitted his journal at Munich to the erasures of the censors, suc ceeded in extricating himself from prison, and went to Deuxponts, where, under protection of a better code of laws, he began his celebrated paper called the Tribune. Its publication could not be legally stopped by the Government ; orders were therefore issued to prohibit the post. office from circulating it. Letters sent by that conveyance were opened and read by the Mi nisters; but when a threat was holden forth in the Chamber of bringing forward a public accu sation for this breach of public confidence, the Ministers averted it by threatening to dismiss and punish the employes who told of his acts. The paper of Dr. Wirth gave mortal offence to the Government, and by some of those con l i - trivances to which tyrannical rulers have recourse it was stopped, an d h e was th rown into prison, and his assistant, N. Fein, was expelled from the Bavarian states, as having been born in Brunswick. The people, fearful of the Govern ment having the intention to do injury to their champion, assembled around the prison, and ac tually kept guard in order to prevent his being removed for trial to the old courts of Bavaria Proper. Dr. Wirth has been acquitted, is now at liberty, and has declared his intention of con tinuing his publication, not as a daily paper, but as a pamphlet. It was upon the occasion of this prosecution that the celebrated association was established for the protection of the liberty of the press, which is now extended over all Germany, and counts within its members several persons sub ject to the Government of Austria and Prussia. The Germans, even in Paris, assembled to give their aid by money, so that at the close of March a very considerable sum, amounting to some thousands per annum, was subscribed. Besides the General German Association, there are other special ones in Bavaria, for the defence of the press in that country against the rancorous attacks of a Government, which goes so far as to dismiss from employment and prosecute indivi duals who give the smallest sum to these asso ciations. They have already acquired also con siderable sums of money. The charter in Bavaria promises liberty to political writings which contain no news, but which may discuss the internal im provements of the country. Hence there are two sorts of publications called Zeitungen and Zeitschriften, resembling British newspapers and magazines; but the Government not being con trolled by any law, can order the seizure and stoppage of any which it considers offensive, and if the editor or proprietor complains to the mi nister, his remedy is usually a confiscation. For merly the Gazettes of Bavaria, like the Vienna papers of this period, and in particular the Aus trian Observer, which is edited by Metternich's secretaries, were filled up with dry facts, and with garbled accounts of the proceedings in the British Parliament, in which the Tories were always certain of victory. The principal German papers may be classed according to the doctrines which they advocate, under the heads of the four parties which I de scribed in a former letter. Just ready, in 3 VON. post Bvo.

ADVICE.—When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, Lave been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted ill a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily • 444 effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arisin g fro m Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing State of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by Which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goes and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a inist.ken few, marked with the obl oqu y so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cates of which, front different HOSPITALS, and testi 1401lials from the most eminent Professors, they have to "'Prince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced awn to quit the practice of the general practitioner; and they presume that their preten sion, constitute a fair ground fur the unprecedented con& 4a tlcc with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. thThe remelt of a long and extensive practice has enabled ?lem, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Coin. aic . to however inveterate or complicated, without sub- Jeyting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer -114 and i n recent cases, where as early application is a 4: on disco very of the infection, they frequently perform de _ u _re in the s h ort space of a few days.

The German people are well instructed ; there is scarce a cottage in which there is not an indi• vidual who cannot, and very frequently every in dividual therein can, read. This enjoyment has led the patriots of Germany into a desire to supply the public taste with solid food,—and hence the promise of a free press, as given by the charter of the Diet, was welcomed with enthusiasm. The journals of the extreme popular party —or, as some call it, of " revolution "—were lately, the Tribune, the IVestbote, and the Zeitschwingen, which have been suppressed. Wirth, to the great dissatisfaction of the true patriots, who openly avow their horror of revo lution as well as of absolutism, in one of his journals spoke of the utility of a general re public. This has produced against him and those doctrines, a strong feeling of disappro bation. c , We want no theories—no bl oo dy changes ; we want freedom by fair means—by the universal will of the people, and nothing more nor less," is the expression of the pa triots. Wirth, having been persscuted, is pitied, but if he contends for the impracticable theory of republics, he will soon be repudiated by the sober Germans. The following is the passage extracted from the act establishing the federative constitution of Germany, and signed at Vienna on the Bth of June, 1825, by the Plenipotentiaries of the State. Article 18. (Clause D.) " The Diet is to occupy itself, immediately after its first meeting, in the establishment of uniform legislative arrangements on the liberty of the press, and on the measures to be adopted to g uarantee authors and editors agai ns t p irac y o f their works." But the Diet, which is a mere mystification, attempted no such arrangement ; for by a spe cial stipulation, Austria,—the press-h a ti ng police-lovin g Austria, —has the right of presid ing over the discussions of that body; and no diplomatist will dare to incur the displeasure of the Minister, whose intrigues would soon have him sent away in disgrace from this city. Like the blood in the human body, which, if not allowed to flow properly, must engender diseases, the press in Germany was restricted, and evils necessarily arose. The Ministers of Austria and Berlin, in 1819, found it necessary to cause measures to be taken to allow a sort of freedom,—not to the daily journals, which, as being read by all the world, are most prized,— but to books and pamphlets of not less than 20 ;fleets. This arrangement, in itself sufficiently ridiculous, did not, of course, satisfy the people ; There are innunaerable small journals start ing into life under various names. The price is low in the extreme—such as 3s. per quarter. I have now before me a proof of one about to start at that price, under the name of the Hamv e reund (House-friend), in which resistance to oppression is maintained with unusual vigour : the editor is Dr. Siebenpfeiffer, lately the chief of the Westbote, whose violence is calculated to do injury to the cause of true reform. The circulation of his paper must be very great to defray the expenses even here, where printing costs but little. ft appears, however, that he expects to succeed as welt as The Prussian and Austrian papers are of course favourable to die systems of their own Governments ; but while every means are used to magnify the praises of the . " pater na l" Go vernments of Frederick William and Francis, caution is used to avoid rousing the indignation of the Germans, by stating their intention of soon partitioning the country.

Another ground of difficulty is he district of Sponheim, which in the 15th entury was willed by the possessor to the Duke )1 Bavaria and Margrave of Baden, • and their lineal successors, and of which a certain portion is claimed by the King of Bavaria, who affects .0 deny the right of Baden to the indemnity given for it by the French, as the succession is, as he contends, illegitimate. The Grand Duke would have no objection personally to retrograde, in:order to please the Diet ; but if' his subjects, who see no means of preserving the blessings of freedom, of which they have now possession, re !use to retrace their steps, his difficulties will become great in the extreme. He cannot invite the troops of the Diet to destroy the freedom he has sanctioned, and if they come, he and his sub jects will have to endure all the misery of a mili tary occupation. In the Bavarian provinces on the Rhine, the decision of the inhabitants to have a free Press appears immovable. Troops have been sent among them, but they conciliate the good will of the soldiers, and prove to them that it is a blessing for all classes for which they contend. The Government is continually employed in prosecutions, for no sooner is one publisher seized than another starts up to take his place, both being secure of means from the General Association. As the papers which are not pub lished periodically claim an exemption from the censure, there are means found of dispersing to the subscribers the fullest news, even in the most remote villages. In vain the Post-office refuses to take charge of them ; the Association has hired messengers who carry them to any dis trict. The liberty of the press has bees hailed by festivities, by dinners, and by toasts, in all the constitutional states. The aversion of the Rile nane provinces to the King was lately exhibited in a marked manner. As the chief of the State, his health was proposed at a festivity, but the guests, instead of drinking from the glass, threw the wine over their shoulders. On the contrary, the Grand Duke of Baden, as the protector of the press, is beloved and blessed by all the neighbouring people. At Weinheirn, his por trait was adorned in a remarkable manner, and the inscription beneath was— " Heil alien Fursten, " God save all Princes, " Die Leopold gleichen." " Who resemble Leopold." There are addresses sent from different places, even from some in Hanover and Holstein, to thank the proposers and seconders, in the 13aden chamber, of the law which establishes the free dom of the piess. To some of them also cups of silver and gold presented, in order that they may remain in their families as proofs of German gratitude for their labours. MM. Rotteck and \Velcker, both LL.D. and professors at Frei burgh, have had several of those presents. How far, therefore, the plans of Metternich and of the Prussian Minister to enchain the r ex - F ession of public opinion may succeed, remains as yet to be decided by time. But a fearful struggle will ensue, for that Minister cannot expect to control all the Germans. In order to know what takes place in this city, he keeps a secret police at work, to know the acts of the Members of the Diet and of strangers who come here; but he must find it impossible to establish a police over the whole of:this country.— Times. WILL OF JEREMY BENTHAM. The will of the philosopher was proved at Doctors' Commons on Monday. It is dated the 30th May, 1832, and is signed in a firm hand. He appoints Dr. Bow ring, " who for these twelve years, or thereabouts, has been my most intimate friend, my executor, and in the event, and during his incapacity by reason of absence, in tirraity, or any other cause, from taking possession of my effects or my body, I appoint my dear friend Edwi❑ Chad wick, barrister-at-law, to officiate in his stead." He then gives directions in detail for the disposition of his body for the advancement of the medical science, which have already been made public. He then gives to Dr. Bowring his in terest in the Westminster Review, and " whatever suns may he found requisite for the publication of a complete collection of all my works, and the completion of such of them as are not yet published." He also gives to Dr. Bowring all his manuscripts and books relating to finance, political economy, parliamentary reform, emancipation of the colonies, and Panopticon. He gives to his nephew, George Bentham, all his manuscripts relating to logic and nomography, and all his collections relating to language. He gives - to his friend Edwin Chadwick all his books and works relating to jurisprudence and his collections for legislation, also his pamphlets on poor laws, he gives hint moreover a legacy of 1001. as one of his executors. He gives to his dear friend and quondam amanuensis and pupil, Richard Doane, barrister-at-law, all his books on English law, and also his organ. He gives to John Her bert Koe, barrister.at•law, one of his former amanuenses, the books which he had lent him, and which are now in his possession. The remainder of his books are left to the London University. He gives rings bearing his effigy, and containing portions of his hair, to several of his friends and distinguished individuals, amongst whom are the fol lowing :—La Fayette; Jose del Valle, formerly President of the Republic of Guatemala ; M. Van de Weyer, Am bassador from his Belgic Majesty; Jean Baptiste Saye, the French political economist; Felix Bodin, Member of the Chamber of Deputies ; Messrs. Bickersteth, Chad wick, Diane, and Tyrrell, barristers.at-law ; Dr. Bow ring, Dr. Southwood Smith, Dr. Arnot, General Miller, Mrs. Austin, wife of the Professor of Jurisprudence at the London University, Joseph Parkes of Birmingham, Al bany Fonblanque, Francis Place, John Stuart Mill, the son of the historian of British India, Col. Thompson, W. Tait, of Edinburgh, and George Wheatley of Whitehaven. A very handsome provision is made for his servants and dependents. His freehold property he leaves by the ordinary law of descent to go to his nephew; his leasehold and other property he leaves in equal shares to his nephew and his two nieces, the children of his late brother, Sir Samuel Bentham. In conclusion, he makes his nephew residuary legatee, charging him " to cooperate cordially with my executor, and lend him all the aid in his power in the execution of his trust." The mystery which is so admirably kept up by Mr. LISTER (author of " Granby") in his new and , uccessful novel of " Arlington" is founded on a celebrated criminal trial which took place some years ago, in which the verdict did not satisfy the public mind, and the start ling truth was only disclosed on the death of an individual in high life. In this respect, namely, in buil:ling his story on the remarkable trials of our country, Mr. LISTER resembles Mr. BULWER, whose " Eugene Aram" has ex cited so great a sensation and has become one of the most celebrated novels of modern times. VOTING THE SUPPLIES.—On Thursday, an iged mendicant went into a snuff-shop on the Bridge, to ask charity. The shopkeeper sympathising with a venerable looking fellow-mortal reduced to apparently ;reat privation, asked the beggar " how old art thou ?" ind received for answer that he was 84 years of age. " Eighty-four !" said the snuff•merchant, " why, the number of your years equals the majority of the Lords in fivour of British liberty ! there's a sixpence for the coinci lence." The joy of the old man amply rewarded the feeling heart of the Reformer.— Scotsman. On Saturday morning, Mr. GEORGE LEFT wywn, wine -merchant, was proceeding to his counting louse in Regent -street, when, in crossing Portland-place, le was knocked down by a carriage -break, and the fore vheel passed over his throat, tearing the flesh from under- Leath the chin in such a manner that the jawbone was 'eft quite bare. Mr. ANSON, of Berkeley-street West, , :dgeware-road, who was on the spot, .and witnessed the ,ccident, immediately ran to the unfortunate gentleman's -sistance, and seizing him by the collar, drew him from nderneath the break just in time to prevent the hind :heel passing over his chest. The blood was gushing iim li•ni se and ears, and the 1,),‘ er part of his per son is severely injured by the horses trampling on him. He as directly conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital.

In the mean time the absolute Cabinets do lot neglect the means of putting a period to this, -o them most obnoxious, evil. Count Ilunch- Bellinghausen, the Austrian Minister at and President of the Diet, whom all the little poten tates, ministers, and agents here regard with a deference equalled only by the subservient court he himself pays to Prince Metternich, to whose friend and confidential adviser (M. Gentz) he pays 12,000 florins paper money, in order to insure the good-will and private correspondence of the latter with the absolute Minister, is now it Vienna concerting with the Cabinet the means of uprooting it. To aid in this scheme the Bavarian Field-Martial Wrede lately undertook & journey from Munich to Stutgard for the pur pose of obtaining the assent of the Government of Wurtemberg, and from thence he has gone to Vienna to arrange fully the scheme with the prime movers. To keep the Ministers of the other powers at the diet in employment, and also to whet their rage, the Press of the constitutional states is now di vided into five sections, and five of the Minis ters Plenipotentiary are appointed to examine daily the journals published in those districts, and to report thereon. It is most amusing to see those diplomatic characters, who, as the world supposes, are daily involved in serious de liberation on the fate of empires, each in his house with a red-lead pencil in his hand, and spectacles properly adjusted, conning over and marking punctiliously the passages of the journals especially under his j urisdiction. They meet, or are at least supposed to meet, daily, to compare their notes, and to report progress; and, as I am assured, no popular assembly ever made such a clamour agains usurpation and tyranny—no theologicians have lifted their eyes and hands to heaven to implore protection, and to call down vengeance on sinners, than do those wise men of the Diet on the delinquencies of the Press. These five envoys are called the committee of, and against the Press, and as their names may be interesting, I will state them. The President of the Committee, during the absence of the Count Munch-Bellinghausen, however, is 1. The Baron de Manteuffel, Envoy from Saxony. 2. The Baron Marschall de Biberstein, Envoy from Nassau. 3. The Baron de Blittersdorff, Envoy from Baden. 4. The Baron de Pee!dila, Envoy from Holstein. 5. M. de Nagler, Envoy from Prussia. The particular districts allotted to each are said to be as follows :—No. 1, reads and revises the Journals of Hesse ; No. 2, has to exercise the same duties over those of Baden ; No. 3, has those of Wurtemberg ; No. 4, has those of Bavaria ; and No. 5, has the revisal of those of the free cities, &c. This list—the exact distri bution may sometimes vary—is correct in the general view. It struck me with surprise to find the name of the Envoy from Baden inserted amongst those of a Committee opposed to the freedom of the Press ; but upon inquiry I found that he is one of the most violent absolutists of the Confederation, and that such are the powerful intrigues of the absolutists that the Grand Duke does not dare to recall him. The scheme of the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin is described as being to obtain from the Diet an authorization in the name of the whole Confederation of Germany, to renew and to aggravate the decree of the Congress of Carlsbad against the two Liberal Constitutions of the minor confederated States,—against the liberty of the Press, and against individual liberties also. This scheme, which is one that none but the most infatuated absolutists could conceive, will, if attempted, succeed in throwing Germany into a revolution. It is by some conjectured to be but one movement of the plan conceived by the coalition for the subjugation of the whole ; for as Austria and Prussia possess armies far more numerous than all the minor states together, the Diet must, in support of its orders, commission revolted t a e n d d state, th e littleand t t h h e e n m a t o m s i e li n ta d ry tro o o cc p u s occupation ensues, e e ns r u Kings and petty Princes who now act as sove reigns will become mediatised, as were the smallest Princes in 1814 and 1815. The ordinary days of the assembling of the Diet are Thursday in each week, but nothing effective can b e done until the return of the President, of which fact, as very soon to occur, an announcement is almost daily made in the papers in order to amuse those who believe the Diet capable ofdoing any benefit to the country. The Count de Buol Schauenstein, Ambassa dor from the Austrian Cabinet to the Courts of Baden and Hesse Darmstadt, has lately per formed 'a most important task. By the direc tions of his Government, he presented a note from Austria to the Grand Duke of Baden, in which the latter is required, even under the threat of being ousted from his sovereignty, to repeal the unlimited license granted to the Press. The Duke, a weak man, and who is also by some regarded as rather partial to ab solute principles, is puzzled : his popularity is at stake, and therefore it is thought that he will endeavour to take some sort of middle course, —that is, to steer between Metternicli's will and his people's wishes : the negotiations are likely to embarrass him greatly. The threat held out against him is founded upon the nature of his mother's marriage, which was of the sort called morganatic,—that is, of the left hand. The Grand Duke, his father, laboured to have his wife raised to a rank, to equalize their union. The Emperor of Germany, more than 40 years ago, conferred on her the title of Countess of Hochberg, whereby the right of succession was partly settled on her children. Two of the de sendants, by a prior marriage of the Grand Duke, Charles Frederick, father of the actual Duke, have since succeeded to the monarchy, and died without issue. The succession devolved on the 30th of March, 1830, to the present Grand Duke Leopold, and he has had his claims examined, revised, and guaranteed, by the Diet, much to the dissatis faction of the King of Bavaria, who lays claim to a certain part of the ancient Palatinate, now belonging to Baden, in which a sort of move ment in favour of Bavaria was some time ago effected. This portion of the Palatinate would be useful to Bavaria, as affording a passage to the Rhenish provinces. The Members of the Diet, however, by a proper instrument, to which Austria and I'russia have assented, have con firmed the rights of the actual Grand Duke ; but as the liberty pf the press annoys them, they now
