BRUSSELS PAPERS.

FRANIMORT, Fea. IL
In the Sitting of the German Diet on the 27th January, the Pre.
sident informed the Assembly, that Baron A nstell, Iklinister from
his Nlajesty the Emperor of Russia, having ilelrmsed, on the I Ith
September. 11124, during the last vacation of the Dirt, to the Mi-
nister acting as substitute for the President. a Note relative to a levy
of recruits ordered in the Russian Empire, a provisional answer
had been given to this Note, with the assent of the Members of the
Diet who were here.

In the last confidential Sitting. of the 20th, the President com-
municated the affair to the Assembly, which resolved now to give
an answer to Baron Angell, in the name of the most Serena Con-
federation.

The proposed answer way read and approved, and it was resolved,
that it should be entered on the Journals, as well as Baron An-
stell:a Note.

This Note is as follows:—" The undersigned Envoy Extraordi.
nary, and 31inister Plenipotentiary for his Alajesty, the Emperor of
All the Ittissias to the mast Serene German confederation, has or-
ders to acquaint the diet, its organ, that by an Ukase just issued by
his Majesty, the Emperor of All the Russias, a levy of recruits will
be made on the Empire, like that which was usually made every
year. This levy is become indispensible by the laws of mortality
alone, and by the vacancies caused in the ranks of the army by the
number of absolute discharges given to the Soldiers. No political
consideration is connected with this measure; but as in our days no
act of Government escapes malevolence, which is always ready to
spread suspicions and alarms, it is has been judged proper to as-
sign. the reason of the ineasitre in question. The intentions of his
Majesty, the Emperor of All the Russia', and his desire of main.
tamping
.peace, are indeed sufficiently known ; but it is to manifest
them anti more, and to do away with every thing that might excite
apprehensions of a change of system, that the explanations con-
tained in this Note ate given, which the Beton de la:lowitz will be
so good as to communicate to the Diet.
