DOPY OF A DESPATCH FROM LIEUT.-GEN.
VON RADOWIIZ, PRUSSIAN MINISTER
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE REGENCY
AT KIEL, DATED BERLIN, OCT. 23, 1830.
The sincere and lively interest which his Majesty's go.
yeremeet necessarily take, and have uniformly taken,
in the welfare of a federal crevices so sear to them
as Holstein, renders it their duty at the present mo-
meet, the gravity and important tendencies of which
will net be denied by the regency, to address an
earnest and friendly counsel to that body, with a
view to press upon their notice the conmderations
which regard to that welfare imperatively demands.
They have therefore entrusted the delivery of this'
note to Major-General von Hahn. who is also in-
structed to give the regency any explanations they
may wish.
The position which his Majesty's government have
assumed since the conclusion of the treaty of the 2nd
of July of this year, will not be misunderstood by the
regency.
Though hie Majesty's government deeply regret
the renewal of bloodshed, and though they have never
ceased to aim at the restoration of a right under-
standing and peaceful state of affairs, by all means
in their power, they have been obliged to wait for the
adoptioncf decieive measures by the Germanic con•
federation, to which the power to take them was
reserved by the treaty of July 2, which, according to
the fourth article has alone the right to ratify the
treaty.

This has now been done by almost all the members
of the confederation, so that the treaty may be con-
sidered as ratified by the confederation.
The whole affair hu thus been brought to a new
and in fact a decisive point, and his Majesty's govern-
ment feel cocfidett that the regency will recognise
the importance of this circumstance, and not conceal
frees itself the respect which it, as an institution con-
stituted in the name of the confederation, owes to the
authority now represented by the aggregate govern.
mete.
aggregate of the governments, or, in other
wards, the coatederatioziteslf, has by the ratification
of tl:etreatyof July 2. notonly re-established the peace
with Denmark, but declared that the decision of the
affair now rests with the confederation.
There can be no doubt that his majesty the King
of 1/enmark will fulfil the stipulations of the fourth
article ; and there is equally little doubt that the
treaty having been ratified, the confederation will act
in conformity to these stipulations, and that for this
purpose the confederation must find a competent
ores&
Prussia, holiing it to be the deity of every member
of tl e confederation to co-operate in the appointment
of such energy', has offered its assistance. To this end
it has addressed both to Vienna and Copenhagen the
proposal to appoint a special commission of all the
German governmeets, and awaits the answers of thus
governments, Bat in whatever manner, or whatever
form the treatment of this affair in conformity with
the principles of the confederation may be brought
about, this is certain, that it must be decided by the,
confederation, and that the moment for deciding it is
not far distant.
It is unquestionably the duty of all members of the
roaederation to submit to its decision, as soon u it is
announced by a c.cnpetent organ authorised by all
the governments.
Respect for this decision, which may be expected
immediately, and foe the determination of all the
members of the confederation in favour of peace,
ought of itself to be sufficient to enforce Zhu avoid-
ance of bloodshed, which becomes useless so soon as
the decision of the whole affair is to be arrived at by
other means than arms.
Since the confederation has undertaken the settle-
sett of the controversy, the regency may rest m-
uted that every right appertaining to the eaafedsra
tire or any of its members, will be fully protected and
eared for by an organ that represents the aggregate
of the Germania confederation. The regency will
therefore sus what a heavy r‘poneibility it will draw
upon itself by contiani ag the war, when a fortunate au
unfortunate result of an appeal to arms can contribute
equelly little to the final decision of the controversy,
Ilk Majesty's government confidently trusts that the
regency will not relinquish its object of coming to a
right understanding with its sovereign, and will see
that the restoration of peace is a necessary pre-requi-
site of such an understanding.
These considers'ions for the real interest of the
duchies have induced his Majesty's government to
express the following desires to the regency :
1. That out of respect for the actual position of
affairs, and the ratification of the peace, it will.abstain
from all aggressive operations.
2. That it will declare its mediates to agree to an
armistice, under conditions to be hereafter specified in
detail.

His Majesty's government, animated by a lively
wish to put an end u soon as possible to those la-
mentable hostilities, hereby offers its mediation.
MejorGeceral von Hahn, is therefor* authorised
iu the event of the regency being ready to accept of
his offer—which his Majesty's government cannot
doubt will be the cue—to proceed immediately to the
Danish head• quarters, and make overtures to the
general in command there.
With a view to accelerate arrangements as much as
possible, his Majesty's minister at Copenhagen will
be instructed to maks a simultaneous application
there for an armistice, and to urge the Danish govern-
ment to empower their commander-in-chief to con-
clude an armistice on equitable terms.

this knoaledge nil sixth sense is the faculty
of reading and writing, with the knowledge of the

Education, is ifs simplest form, is the endowing the
young with the sixth sense. A man owes this to his
&Ur', as mach as be owes its preservation from
blindness or deafness. And the rich of society owe it
to the poor, who want time and means for securing
such an indispensable acquirement for their own
class. _ _ .

We believe, however, that this prefabs, width
makes iehiential people shrink from gi:asl
emiowment of this sixth sense to the people at
Is derived from the habits and the modes of
tri the time when this new sense namely exists!.
Is fact, until the discovery of the art of printing,
isteroommanication of thought and information be-
tween man and man was chiefly and necessarily oral.
Manuscript could never give publicity, nor handwrit-
ing convey information to the poor. Instruction and
education were necessarily oral to a very great extent,
and scriptural instruction wee of course the hesitates of
the clergy, whose aim was not to communicate any
sew or worldly sense, but merely to inculcate certain
traditional truthe, not to be questioned; for human
development and knowledge give no means of
testing or of questioning them.
The fifteenth century opened a new era ; it created
a new intellectual world, and invented what we have
described as a new sense for the perception of it.
The reformed religion sprung icstantly by a kind of
asesaity from it. And the old traditional views, and
sal science of things spiritual as well as of things
ssientific, were rejected for such as were consonant
with the ideas of men, making we of their own in-
tellects, and studying revelation and history as well
es the tendencies of their own minds, by the new
lights which Providence had allowed to be struck forth
at a later day.
We can perfectly comprehend how a decided hoe-
tility should be shown to the general endowment and
seatannication of the sixth sense by the chiefs of
fiat religion which lo.t its hold and supremacy in the
sixteenth century. We can well understand that
these who still cling to exclusively oral instruction,
Ind to the system of teaching a belief which is grafted
es molar ignorance, and which wi:l not grow or
Illesrith on any other stem, should throw every obstacle
is the way of the free gift of the elements of learning.
What we cannot comprehend is, that at the present
moment, above all others, men of those religions which
have been founded on private judgment, and exist
by it, should prevent or restrict the materials and in-
struments of their private judgment. In other words,
that haring ousted Rome, they should take Rome's
mat and attitude instead of that of their own tore-
' lab= and elders. We feel confident, for our part, that
it bee religion is to issue triumphant from the struggle
Into which it is entering, it will be by its adoption of
the principle of free education ; for if each sect will
limit itself to instrnotingoes far as its zeal and wealth
permit, the young of its own creed, it limits within
that circle its powers of propagating that belief.
It remains on the defensive, and cannot gain,
whilst it is certain in some degree to loss. Because
be and the pale of all creeds there is a large multi-
tude of waits, that, if left in ignorance, will in all
probability fall to that creed which is adapted for it,
and which is best combated, not by setting dogma
against dogma, but intelligence and education against
traditional belief and non-learning.
There is no need in this controversy to pit
protestantism and catholicism against one an-
other. For there are a great many catbo-
lice who are es ready as protestants to make
use of the sixth sense, and to communicate it.
Roman catholic* are not all of the ignorantin school.
And it is this that renders them formidable ; for
whilst some appeal to the narrow prejudices of
monkery, others take their stand with the pure and
intellectual development of an advanced age. Do not
many of the Roman cathAic prelates of Ireland and of
England suction a system of mixed education, which
some champions. of the Anglican, and even 'Assent-
ing churches, shrink from P
The great point to be arrived at is the separation of
the elements of education, the simple conferring. of
the sixth tense, from the inculcation of any sectarian
view of Christianity, Time and necessity, we fear,
will aloes work the general accordance with a prin-
ciple so useful. Sects will long maintain the appa-
rently useful custom of instilling peculiar tenets along
with the elements if education, and will continue to
oppose secular education is the teaching of something
contrary to what they believe. One of the first
things requisite to explode this belief is, the
actual working and experience cf a plan of secular
education, accompanied by religious instruction,
independent of the school. The undertaking of
this by a state department appears of doubtful
success. Like all the other efforts at education in
this country, it goes prosperously for a certain length,
but no more. All in fact stop short of the only end
for which national effort is required, the teaching of
the waifs and neglected of the population, and the
bringing them into the pile of intelligent beings.
All have read the interesting discoosicn which took

that county. We must own we should hare bees
glad to have seen it tried on the mixed population of
that county, ere the demand was made to extend it to
all England. It is not that the demand is unfit; bat
the obstacles and repugnance are proverbially great,
too great to be made to yield save to the power of a
successful experiment.
We have already, however, occupied too much
space to admit of our doing justice to the great edu-
cational meeting at Manchester. The remarks of the
provincial press, so worthy attention on this subject,
will give us the opportunity of discussing it in a day
or two more hilly.

PCBLIC attention is at length directed—thanks to
the approaching Ethibition—to the defective state of
our patent laws. These more immediately interested
in the matter bars long complained, but little atten-
tion has been paid to their grievants. They stet to
monopolise, and monopoly of any kind is so distaste-
ful to the people that inventors have gained no sym
pithy when complaining that they canoe, exclusively
possess the property they have created. The injurious
effects of monopolies in general strengthen this feeling
against patentees, and the hindrance which patent
rights often pr sent to improvement tends to emirs
the prejudice. Their clause, however, deserve he be
fairly considered, and the increased importance at-
tached to novel products of industry by the challenged
rivalry with foreign nations, gives those claims greater
prominence.

thought and ingenuity, and at tho cost of much time
and money, he has produced a new application of s
