Tax DEFUNLT DIET. —The Diet on quitting
Frankfort removed, as has been stated, to Augsburg, but
no doubt as a matter of form only. A Berlin letter gives
some details respecting the present composition of that as-
sembly :—" In the first place it comprises the representa-
tive of Austria, then those of Bavaria, Wurternburg, Badea,
and of Here-llsrmstadt, with the envoys of Saxe-Mcinin-
gen, Lichtenstein, and the younger branch of Ileum: so
much for the reigning princes. To them must be added
the representatives of princes in partthris inofddiust,
that is to say, of the territories occupied by the Prussian
armies, and consisting of Saxony, Hanover, Electoral-
Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort. The Grand Duke of
Hesse will soon pass from the first category into the
second, and the Grand Duke of Baden is believed to be
only waiting for the approach of the Prussians to recall his
troops from the Federal army and his envoy from Augs-
burg. The number of sovereigns having representatives
in the Diet, and being in possession of their states, will
then be reduced to four—the Emperor of Austria, the
Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemburg, and the Prince of
TURKEY. Lichtenstein.
