IMPORTANT RESOLUTION OF THE WITH-
TZMBERG CHAMBIRS.

STUTTGARD, JAR. 20..

The Chamber of Deputies to-day unanimously
adopted the following resolution, signed by Herr
Probst and some other members :

" Considering that, according to their latest
declaration, relative to the Sleswig-Holstein
question, the great German Powers appear to decline
to submit to the decisions passed by a majority of
the Federal Diet, the States forming the majority
must on their side be prepared to give effect to the
claims of Germany on the Doable., in acoord-
sac° with the resolutions passed. Since also
the expected decision of the succession ques-
tion will be followed by war between Denmark
and the German Confederation, and that to defend
the rights of Germany, and, under the oilcans-
stances, to carry out the resolutions of the Diet,
demands all the powers of those States, and that
therefore immediate steps of a military nature
must be taken, the undersigned move that the
Upper House do present the following urgent re-
quest to the royal government :
"1 That the army of Wurtemberg be at once
placed on a war footing, and a certain number of
troops be placed at the immediate disposition of the
Confederation, to preserve the rights of the
Duchies.

"2 That the loyal German States should be
urgently requested by the Confederation to adopt
the ame measures.

"3. To request that the territories of those
States, and more especially their railways, should
not be made use of for the transport of troops
which have not been called out br the Diet."

In this diplomatic document Herr von Rogembach,
anticipating the realisation of the Emperor Nape-
leon's project of assembling a magma er confer-
ewe upon general European affairs, adduces various
reasons to show that in case Germany should be
present at this great meeting, she should not be
I represented by the plenipotentiaries of Prussia,
Austria, Hanover, Saxony, Wurtemberg, and Ba-
varia, and of the rankfort Diet, but by one single
minister, who alone should be entitled to speak in
the name of the whole of Germany, to defend her
Mimed', advocate her policy, and stipulate in
favour of her future.
