FRANKFORT, MAT 31.

The following is a traoalatim of the tog of
Prossia's letter of invitation to his royal confederates
to hold the congress of Princes at Berlin, which has
just been concluded. The one we have selected is
addressed to the Grand Duke of Baden, but with the
exception of the titles they are all identical :

le the present important and critical moment, when the
result of I e conferesees of the Union Parliament is
to he laid before the ailed governments for their mini a anu
as the general state of the affairs is Germany bas arrived at ,
a mor significant point, your Royal Highness ell) no doubt
and It natural for me to feel the want of having a pivotal ,
tionferetee with my high confederates, in order to come to a
mutual understanding as to the joint steps tc be taken by us,
that the good work begun by as say he brought to a astir
Ilvtore conclusion. It was. therefore, with the greatest plea-
sure that I received the proposal from His Highness the
Duke of Saxe Cohere Gotha, fir a meeting of the princes of
those stales which signed the treaty of the 26th May last
year, as soon as possible, and they should wettable at his
ducal residence at Gone, each accompanied by • responsible
minister. I have been induced to accept %hie proposal the
more readily, as the subjects which must necessarily be
brought under discussion, concern the most im-
portant and vital interests of each state, and the personal
poutin of its ruler. Amongst them may be mentioned, a
,volution encasing the acceptance of the imprinmeno
of the constitution of the Union, ea agreed to by the Erten
parliament, as well as a dose examination of the revised
netitution, la order to weigh the merits of the question, if,
ender existing drawee:mots, farther improvements cannot
b• introluced; to dais* those punts of the sonstitation
which aught to be left over till the de fieitive regulation of
the German affairs shall hen taken plan ; and lastly, to
tooe tea providers] decision as to the establishment of a
simple ointment the Uaion. Tiede, these circumstances, I
have had so hesitation in exposing to his highness the
Duke of Ssze.Cubarg 0 Alia my perfect readiness to accept
his proposa
But is the meantime the German affairs have entered a
new stadium, which ought to claim the immediate attention
of all the German governments, sad makes a quick decision
doubly desirable. The interim, instituted by mutual and
(ritual 'Mend, for a certain period, has come to an • :Ora-
nge, and his Majesty the Emperor of Asstria has invited
the German goveraments to send plenipotentiaries to Frank-
fort, in order to some to a decision about a new interim, and
at the same time to deliberate apes the definitive regulation
of the general constitution for the whole of Germany. In
both of thew objects it is y wish and intention to act in full
concert with my allies of the Union. It will be imperatively
weemeary to come to an undentancing and joint line of
policy as marts the future paeitin of the states belonging
to the Union of the 26. h May, 1649, towards the interim,
es well as towards the totality of the Orman confederation.
The safest and quickest mode of attaining this desirable
end will be a personal and confidential exchange of send
meets by the prime themselves. The higher the duties
inirinswl on us are, the more desirable is it that we should
personally come to a mutual widmtanding as to the manner
of dischareing them with all the weight of our united Jolla
eon. The joint interests we have to ispresent, the mutual
feeling of the most lively sympathy for the Centralisation of
our beloved Oerniaay, which animates us, end the sincere
confidence and goodwill existing among as, will be sun to
make the proposed cocfress end in the withed.for result, and
give
li the German pea • the best guarantee that the work so
heartily sommenen by es will be concluded in a manner
cempatatile with the best lettersets of those countries com-
mitted to our charge by Providence.
Tour royal Winans will no doubt agree with me that
the proposed 000,111•11011 ought to take pleas as soon as ra-
mble. Ac it will be iseosmiest ter me to leave Berlin
be ore the 16. h inst. oa account of the approaching nuptials
of my niece, the Prisms Una/Otte, I hope yea will take it
kindly when I herewith invite you sad the other allied
Princes to come personally to Berlin to onto with me and
me allies on the before mentioned important mahjong. As
time presses, I beg you to favour me with your visit, in coin
pasty with a reepoi.sinle minister, on the Bth last. at the
latest. It will for the Finest remain undecided whether or
not we shall have anther meeting together to deliberate
further upon the state of slain.
AO I as acquaiated with the lively interest which year
royal highness takes in our united endeavours, and coo-
visaed, as you ass doubt are, of the positive necessity of our
acting in tee orient oosoert, I flatter myself with the hops
that you will readily mode to my wishes, and I have no
hesitation in declaring my belief that this personal con-
ference of Gerona sovereign princes will lead, with God's
assistance sad blessing, to the wished for happy result of the
peaceable development of oar beloved fatherland, and the
desired unity of Germany.
With the assurance of my deepest respect sad most classes
friendship, I remain, your royal highness's friendly diepated
ends sad brother,
