THE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT AT

HAMBURG.

HAMBURG, DEL 29.

It is seldom that a more painful sensation hu hem
crested here than by the announcement of the erred,
and arbitrary impetvonment, of Mr. Julius Camps, the
head of the well- nown liberal publishing firm of
Holman and Camps, of this city. This gentleman is
the publisherof ass:its of works, written by Dr. Velum,
on the secret history of various courts of Germany
(Berlin, Hanover, Brunswick, Camel), which have
bean translated into English, and noticed is various
journals and periodicals. The last series of this
" Buret History • relates to the court of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, and reveals many acandaloes transactions
that took place there. Amongst others, the private
life of Prince William of Mecklenburg (who is mar-
Med to • Prussian princess) is shown up, and this has
emend the work to be prohibited in the grand duchy
as well u in Prude, where the author has been
arrested, and ie now in confinement, on a charge of
libel against the royal family. In the course of
the investigation against Dr. Yokes, the publisher,
Mr. Camp., was compunieed, as having transmitted
to him certain communications. On the requisition
of the government of Mecklenburg, backed by that of
Prussia, Mr. Camps was desired to appear as a wit-
ness, and give up the name of the person from whom
he obtained the information in question. On hie
refusal he was threatened by the head of the police of
this city with a fins of ten dollars for every day of
his persisting in not giving the required information,
when soddenly the authorities altered their tactics,
and amt. yesterday, Mr. Livonia', one of the princi-
pal sospioyes in the police, to arrest him, and lodge
Idea in the common gaol, known as the Wieserbaum.
The arrest of a Hamburg citizen is so unheard-of a
=ejding, and an act of so purely arbitrary and
a nature, that most people would not at first
believe it, but when they convinced themselves of the
Leath of the report the indignation of the citizens was
load and violent. The first thing to be done was to
get up a monster petition to the senate, requiring
the ill-trested publisher to be immediately set at
liberty. This petition lies for signature at all the
principal booksellers' as well as at the Exchange
semilageooms, and lm:s already obtained a large quo-
thy of signatures from the members of the infiaential
body of our liberals. The petition itself is to be pre-'
seated to the senate at its next sitting, on Monday.
Immediately after his arrest, Mr. Campo sent in a
petitioa to the senate, requesting a day to be fixed
gar bsarieg his defence, atter having inspected the
dmieseents and charges brought against him; and
Ineendly, his release from imprisonment on bail for
kie appearance. A decree of the senate, dated yee-
terday, »hued him for an answer to Senator Dr.
Blumenthal, the head of the police, which was that
he would be released from demos vile" on de-
positing the sum of 10,000 marks banoo, but that
the farmer fine imposed, of 10 dollars for every day's
delay till he complied with the order for producing
the evidence required, would be rigidly enforced.
Agar esseulting with his legal adviser, Mr. Camps

position,ii if, as he wishes, the trial should
emu on before the ordinary local tribunals.
The -city is in a state of great ferment. Fears were
entertained that the populace last night would storm
the Wineerbasm sad liberate Mr. Canape by force.
To counteract this, the polies were more than ever
on the alert, and the military were kept inside their
barracks, preparod to sot in the defence of order, if
requited by the civil authorities. Up to the pre-
emie moment, however, no demonstration has beta
made by the people, as they seem inclined to wait and
see if the senate grant the petition now in course of
signature.
