PROTOCOL OP THE MINIbTERIAL CONFERINCIIS HELD AT I
DRESDEN, IN THE BRECL PALACE, DEC. 23, 1550.
According to the inv:tations firmed from Austria and
Perugia to the collective member of the Getman Bond on !.
the 12th inst., to send pleaipmentiaries to a ministerial con- I ,
'brews to be opened at Dresden, on this day were area-
bled at the Betel P..leni (here follow the names). The ,
Prince of Schwan:ember" opened the sitting by reading a ,
programme, which explained the views of the imperial
court with respect to the object, the grounds and the start- ;
inn point (aurganes planet) of the previa negotiations.
(This programme has been &reedy commueleatei to the
public) The coneludon of the discourse of Prince ,
Schwartenthwg gave M Bess*. the Seam plenip-

deg., by an harmonious en-operation, they might lay the
fouedation of a work whereby the real wants of the pretest
time might be satisfied, and the welfare, peace, and power
of Germany might be rerablished for a durability
throuth future ages. Thereby all the principle.
of order, and rem-daily the monarchical principle
would be etrengthened; at the same time, however, smarm-
tees, which the age demanded, should be given for the foil
eniryment of civil freedom. In this spirit the amenably

You will all, gentlemen, be satisfactorily convinced, from
the Bingeing declaration, of the perfect agreement of senti-
ment that pretrial among us. The 3rd and 4th Articles of
the Vienna treaty &elan the Diet (llundesatto) to be the
fundamental cenvension, and the filet fundamental laws of
that established uni an, and confer on the rellective member,
of the. Bond the authority to develop and min cut that
establishment in any manner that the objects pro-
posed may make neceseary. At we bare to deal
with the devel Inen% completion, and amelioration,
in a weed with a revision of the first fundamental
laws of the Blend, there will be, as I have had the
honour already to declare, at once the base and the starting
p.,int of oar delfberatithe. With refract to the form of our
proetvdir.fre, Orem oh,rved in the year 1920, by the pleni
potentials' of all the 0, nem governments, keying the same
objects that we have now, recommend theessolvel to our
adoption. I take !,eve, however, to recommend the forma-
tion of comtnittees (steritures) for the mmeidentios of
point, which may be afterwards n'erred to the whole
aurenhly ; and with respect to their powers, a kindly
ooderstanding is to be preferred to a formal voting and mu-
tiny. It would be, perhaps, most convenient if the pleaad..
poscrdiaties will re far confide In Austria tad Penni*, that
them rowers shoal I draw up a plan tor the compoeitma of
the.. owe/antes, which e an be laid before the conference at
their next meting. after the Christmas aelkerameat.

drawing up °fate or-Arcola. And I now propose Thieny
as r•-rulent:of th'..l section, in the hope of meeting with
an ‘l3lllilllOGl C 011.1.: to this proposition. With
respect to the verifiration of powers I would re-
quest the Saxon rlrnipotentlaries to undertake this
task, and then Ra make a ninon of the result. It only
remelts to me, tow, centimes, to cell your 'Wooden t
Otis point: that it would rot only be beneath the dignity of
the high &nimbly, but might compr,mite the iranortant
perp,oes.to which we or', if the umeecion+ which here
take p 1 ce should hs k- own to the nublic puts, as they
world thereby lanterns the subject of newspaper polemics;
and, ender Me% dream:mom mar deliheratterte would be
subjected to the Jude :sawn of the multitode, We should,
therefore, be per 1cu1,,-1, careful to Olsen, a strict secrecy
w*th respect to all that may be said or done here. Tower!,
our respective goreramente the same secrecy ahould be
maintained.

Austria, in conjunction with l'ruesia, is to propose
we (411rniehoe hew, the following revision
of the constitution of the Bend. A wider and a nar-
rower Bond's council is to bo established : one is to
consist of the collective sovereign governments, and
to be endowed with lerrislative !erelong. The other,
on the contrary, will be confined to Austria,
Prussia, and the states formerly possessing the
electoral dignity. This is to have all the
administrative authority, and Prussia is to pre-
side. Austria is to have the execrative power. 'foe
Bavarian propagation, which commends itself to the
middle states, consists principally in the following
paints: The German Bund Is to be composed of
three groups of states. At the head of the Bond
stands Austria Prussia, and a prince of the re-
maining royal beasts. This triad is to bear the
name of the Cluncil of the Bond. Ily the side of it is'
to exist, as • lecidatic: power, the Diet, with •
senate atd a popular representation. The former is
to have 130 memb.rr, 49 from priccely hence beer-
ier,. the title of serene highness, or excellency; and
the remaicir:; t)9 are to bo partly nemei by the
separate governments, and 'partly chosen from the
upper chambers. The peoples' house is to have 300
members, cheeen equally front the popular chambers
of the three state group!.
BERLIN, lax. 1.

The President of the Scoria Chamber, Count
Snhweiir, has sent a letter to the Censtitutionnel
%r sent', denying certain strong expressions attri-
buted to him, and directed against the stipulations of
the Olmutz confererce, but at the same time avowing
his diecppryval of those stipulations, and ending with
the admission that he had before said what he now
repeat., viz., that he would rather be torn to pieces
than countenance by his vote the proceedings of the
government in Huse Cassel.
In case of resistance 60,000 men. Austrians and
Pi usiane, ere to constitute the executive force against
Schleswig Holstein. Hamburg is to be garrisoned
by Prussians. It is to be noted that the Holstein
loamy is still on the Schleswig to ritory, and that in
esse of a hard frost before the executive force ar-
rives, a desperate bottle may still be fought
with the Danes. The Austrians, it is said, on their
route to Schleswig Holstein, will not march through
the Prussian territory, but through Brunswick and
Hanover. Brunswick, it is reported, has protested,
and expected an answer from Prussia on the subject
the day before yest:rday. Her proteet may satisfy
the Duke's conscience end sense of duty, but further
it will be of co aysiL

The Prince Schwartzenberg (es seen above) eon-
eluded his second address by declaring that it was bc-
neath the high dignity of the conference to allow any of
their proceedings to be known to the public press,
hinting that if public opinion got in among them
it might exert a very rernicions influence on their
councils. When the Prussian Chambers meet on
Wednesday the debate on the address will not be re-
owned. The persecution of Hesse magistrates and
citizens by the commissioners was going on even
' with increased cigonr. A permanent mili,ary tri-
bunal is about to be establietcd in Cased,
as long as the state of beige lasts. It is
affirmed from many quarters that the Emperor
of Austria and King of Prussia are to meet
within a few dare in Dresden. The Emperor's
Adjatant-Major, Keller, is already there, and some of
the imperial equipages are on their rcad to that city.
Outlast letters from Cassel mutt decisively that
duos the return of the Austrian envoy, Count Hsrtig,
the Austrian influence in :Cassel is quite unlimited,
land that it 'coke highly probable that General Peneker
wi.l be recalled to Berlin, and that the remalzd2; of
the Prussian troops will also lesvo the electorate.

WOOL MARKET.—THIS DAY.
In tbe market for C 'lonia and Foreign Wools we have
to report the maw continued firmness of prim, the manu-
facturers being in full activity, ..nd consumption going on
Bator than the import of the raw material. There is an in-
creased demand for English Wools at steadily improving
prices The stock being very light, and the viii tram the low-
est on English Wool being so iaeonsidentb,cinpared with
that which has oceurrel on all descriptions of foreign, many
pasple are coufinned i their bellef that there must be a
gradual rise in the article. This week's imports of wool
have been confined to 4S bales from Smyrua, 22 from Ham-
burg, and 891 from Tsgaurog.
