NOTE OF LORD PALMERSTON TO THE

GERMANIC CONFEDERATION.

The New P►rssinn Gazette publishes the following
as the text of a note addressed It Lord Palmerston,
on the 13th ult., to the British minister to ttie Ger-
manic Confederation :

My Lord—The government other Majesty cannot under-
stand by what reason the Germanic Confederation imagines
that the resolution of September, 1831 (the occupation of
Frankfort by the Prussian and Austrian troops), could be
' considered as • reply to the protestation made by her Ma.
jiitfs government in July, ISil. In fact, the military
occupation of the free city of Frankfurt, to which
' the resolution of 1831 applied, was an object quite
did's:rent from the projected incorporation of the
Austrian and Prussian provinees, against which your
note of the 9th July protested. to that must be
added, that although the objections of the British cabinet
against the events of 1831, and those more recent against ,
`the project of 1851, were well founded. But the federal ,
resolution of September, 1834, received a complete and
peremptory reply in the note of Mr. Cartwright, of the 21st I
INovember, of the same year; and your excellency acted
wisely when, in replying to the communication of • resolu-
tion come to seventeen years since, and foreign to the
I matter in discussion, you immediately sent the copy of the
reply made at the time. The government of her Majesty
has nothing at present to add on the subject of the military
. , occupation of Frankfort iu 1834; and, a. the Germanic
Diet has not replied to the pro 'on which the British
cabinet recently made against the incorporation of territory
into the confederation, which was not included by the
treaty of Vienna of 1813, iu which Great Britain took part,
her Majesty's government she. not think proper to say
i anything more at present ou the subject. I have the
r , honour, &c.
