FRANKFORT, Ammer 24.
There has been a protracted sitting of the Con-
gress to-day ; indeed the diecusaion is hardly over
at the moment of my writing these lines. What I
state, therefore, must be taken with reserve, though
I believe it will turn out correct in the main. The
principal subject of discussion was Article lIL of
the project, relating to the Directory, which it is
presumed will undergo a very material modification.
Instead of five, it will (supposing the amendment
to be carried out) consist of seven members ; of these
Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria will be the principal,
whilst Hanover Saxony, and Wurtemberg would
alternately send two representatives, and the
smaller states, alternately, two amongst them.
The last two points are the principal subjects of
difficulty ; and the result is not yet ascertained.
L'Europe states that Count do Rechberg has sent,
in the name of the Emperor, to the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs of the various Estates of Germany a
note, in which are indicated the means most
proper to lead to a prompt decision upon the pro-
ject of reform submitted by the Emperor Francis
Joseph for the acceptance of the confederate sove-
reigns. In this note the Emperor states that the
princes, on considerations of capital import, ought
to come to an agreement upon the essential points
in the programme, and not separate without
having terminated this preliminary and fundamen-
tal work, upon which more than ever the welfare
of Germany in her entirety depends.
There appears to be no foundation fora statement
made in the Frankfort Journal inconsistent with
the information which I had forwarded to you,
that the Kings of Hanover, Saxony, and Wurtem-
berg had resisted the project of reform, and that
the Grand Duke of Baden, and the Dukes of Saxe-
Coburg and Saxe-Weimar' bad only accepted it
under various conditions. Though perfect unani-
mity can hardly be expected to exist in regard to
a measure which morally is one of disfranchise-
ment, there has been no absolute show of opposition.
The august " trio chbres confideris" are doubt-
less awake to the purport of the old homely
maxim, " needs must" when a certain gentleman,
who in their opinion would not inaptly personate the
Kaiser, " drives." There is just now exhibited in all
the print shop windows a group picture of the
illustrious members of the Congress, which every
passer-by gazes upon with admiration and profound
respect. In this composition we see the Emperor,
and by some allowable latitude of fancy, the King
of Prussia, standing prominently in the midst, the
former with a stern aspect and his right arm
hugging his feathered cocked hat, the thumb
hooked on in a nonchalant manner in his belt ; the
latter with his hand on his heart, and looking as if
something of very serious import was pealing in his
head—head and heart equally a matter of question
with him, however. Between these two, in modest
perspective, the King of Bavaria, with the confi-
dent smile of a sharp clever fellow as be
is ; and in close attendance upon the three
the Dukes of Coburg and Nassau, by no means
ill at ease in their function of dancing attendance
upon so illustrious a trio ; armed and at a respectful
distance, in the rear, stand or sit the remainder of
the confederate princes, whose features wear a
peculiar expression as of resignation to a disposi-
tion of things beyond their ken or control. As a
whole the picture is excessively striking, and will
one day no doubt be of historic interest as a curio-
sity. The idea it unavoidably suggests is that of a
new Van Amburgh surrounded by his wonderful
troupe of tamed animals.
Do not charge me with unebaritablenees, much
lees a disrespect for constituted authorities, in what
I have just written. People in England can
little understand the anomalous position of
the miller princes in this country, who,
whilst they lord it mercilessly over their
few poor dependents, are miserably conscious
of their insignificance when they come in contact
' with a higher order of sovereignty—with something
more than the mere princely calling. This is
amusingly shown, for instance, iu the wording of
Mynas. Parma. •—• Drs firmums the reply of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
