Accounts from Frankfort say, that the Countess of
Sumner, (the Es-Queen of Spain), who intended
to set out this spring to join her husband in North
America, but first to fetch her effects from Paris,
has met with so many difficulties that she has de.
urmined to defer her voyage till the spring of
1820.

Same papers say, that in the confidential sittings
of the Diet, the introduction of Representative
Constitutions has been mentioned, but it is not yet
decided whether any discussion on the subject is to
take place in the public sittings of the Diet. It
appears that several Ambassadors desire it only
some months later than was fixed last year. The
chief cause of this delay is said to be that the in-
ternal situation of some States has not permitted
the prelimiary measures for the introduction of a
Constitution to be brought to maturity. This is
said to be particularly the case of Prussia; should
it, however, be decided shortly to receive declara-
tions on the subject in the public sittings, delay
will bit proposed by several Courts, accompanied
with an assurance that this affair shall be completed
ill the shortest time possible.—(Aligerneine Zeitung,

Accounts from the frontiers or Saxony give the
particulars of the expul►ion of the Jews
from Memingron From ancient times the town had
the piiribige that no Jew should reside there.
Latterly several Jews load established themselves •
there without any opposition from the Government.
Some time since, circoinstaioces being changed, the
:Magistrates thought it advisAle to enforce the old
regulations, and all Jew beggars and petty dealers
received orders to quit the town, which they did.
Some rich Jewish Gloater remained, and the Ma-
gistrates were asked, whether they should be further
tolerated ? The Magistrates thought themselves not
competent to deciikiAliis question, and called en as-
sembly of the eilizeis% This assembly had s.-arcely
heard what was the matter in debate, whets some
of them resolved to cut the knot at once, collected
some empty waggons standing in the market,
obliged the Jews still remaining to pack up their
goods, and to put themselves with them in the
vehicles which stood ready to convey them over the
frontiers. The immediate cause of the event is
said to have been that a Jew, contrary to the ancient
custom, which did nut permit persons of his nation
to acquire real pmperty, bad purchased a house in
the town of Meitinigen, and desired to have his came
registered as the proprietor.
