VIEA, Exc. 14.
I mentioned in my letter of yesterday that the
ordinance for the convocation of the provincial Land-
tags was already in the hands of the government
print-r. I now find that my informant was led into
a mistake on this subject. The ordinance about to
appear cunoerns only the organisation of the Laud-
tage, and does not specify any time far their being
called togethr r. Indeed no measure m.uld lie further
out of the line which ministers are pursuing at this
moment than the fulfilment of so important a pledge.
The 83rd article of the constitution of March pro-
vide a that all the constitutions of the separate crown
lands (kronlander), as the provinces area calico!,
are to be set in operation during the year
1849, and must be submitted to the Reich.
stag, wits& is to bo calltd immediately upon
the introduction of those constitutions. We are now
in the middle cf December, and not one of these con-
stitutions has been called into activity, or has the
least chancel of being realised, not only before the ex
piratim of many m mths, but beore the adoption of
an entirely new policy, say rather a change of mini-
stry. It will therefore be nee. ssary to come forward
with some official statement of the reasons which
have int;nced the government to put by the cinFtitu-
titnal machinery for the present. But it is felt by
the ministers that a manifesto of this mid will pro-
duce so di-turbing an effect upon the public mind that
a much mwe sweeping measure would hardly be at-
tended with more danger.
1 only know that a coup d'etat is expected, but can-
nut undi rti.ke to express the probable shape of what
is only felt darkly as a coming danger, but ft It by
thus• whose instircts are rarely deceived. For the
last three days the troops of the garris in have had
orders to stay in barracks, prepared for any emer-
gency. No one knows what p.ssible ground there
can be fur such a precaution, as the population was
never quieter. At this moment the idea of an out-
break in the capital has not the remotest probability :
the people have no arms. Yi.t the goverbme-A homy.
