LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 22, 1826.

We have frequently mentioned the Syndicate of the
Rect ivers General, as an institution likely to produce im-
portant effects on the money transactions throughout Eu-
rope. M. HYDR Da NEI:VILLE is about to submit the
following proposition on the subject to the Chamber of De-
puties:—

•' llii 31ajesty %ball be petitioned to cause a law to be presented
to the following effect

" That nn responsibl, Agent of the Treasury can be a partner
of an Association which his for its object to speculate by purelitise4,
sales and reports ; to lend, to make time-bargains in the public
stock ; to oarticipate directly, or even indirectly, in loans made to
foreign nations."

We have fn qusntly alluded to the institution of the
Syndicate, as conne•cteil with the general politics of Europe.
It enables France, as in the case of St. Domingo, to furnish
money fur the payment of its own debts by intermediate
agents ; or in other words, to lay a concealed tribute upon
these nations in the shape of interest iVhe paid to the
n.tnhtrs or its Syndicate. The possibility of an applica-
tion of this principle to the case of Spain, was also sug-
gested on a recent occasion.

The French Papers continue to speak of the anticipated
renewal of the Censorship.

BERLIN, MAT 13.

The sentence passed by the royal tribunal at Brealaw, in the
proceedings resoecting treasonable associations and intrigues pend-
ing at Copen,;th, has now been received, that is as tar as concerns
the members of one dangerous association, vie. that called the
Association of the Youth (Rand der Trengrm). Of the 28 members
of this body in arrest at Copenich, 11 are condemned to 13 years
imprisonment and hard labour, 2 to the same punishment for 12
years, 2 for 12 years, and 12 for various terms, from 11 down to 2
years, and all to the loss of the national cockade and honorary din.
tinctions; and those who:hold any office to be cashiered, and de-
clared Incapable of being employed in future.
This sentence has produced an extraordinary impression on those
in particular who have hitherto refused to believe the existence of
treasonable intrigues. As far as yet appears from the investiga-
tion, the dangerous associations by which Germany was to be
thrown into confusion, and:the net by which the German youths
were to be ensnared into treasonable obedience, were contrived
upon a plan which would have probably succeeded, had not the
strong arm of Government interposed.
At the head of these intrigues, as far as is known from authentic
sources, was the Association of ten (Band der Manner), whose
ramifications extended beyond Germany, and were connected with
factions in other countries.

The investigations respecting this Association, which are not yet
closed, will furnish interesting information. Immediately subject
to it, and bound by an oath of unlimited obedience, even to the
assassination of enemies of the Association, was the As.
sociation of the Youth, the members of which were scattered
throughout Germany. It was discovered In 11123, and the mem-
hers in various •countries, as Prussia, Hanover, Wurtemburg,
Baden, Bavaria, Hesse, Mecklenburgh, Saxony, acc. have been
threatened, and in ;tart have already received their sentence. This
association divided Germany into twelve circles, and appointed a
Chief to CIA. There was a supreme Chief, who is now in Copenich,
waiting his sentence, by whom and some others the general affairs
were directed, and especially the connexion with the Association
of the men. It was calculated for civil life, and its object was
the overthrow of the existing Constitution, to excite discontent with
the Government and rebellion. The members were trained to arms
and subj tet to the control of unknown superiors. Immediately under
this were the secret associations over which members of the Asso-
elation of Youth presided; but the members were ignorant
of the existence of the association. These met several times in
a year, and Germany was divided with respect to their operation
into time main divisions. Under them was the Burschenn-
chaff, and Under that the rending societies and clubs. This was the
hierarchy of treasonable association and disgraceful servitude into
which they had bronght the German youths, width fancied Itself
free, and expected by this means to become more so. They did not
even disdain to try to gain boys in the gymnasia and schools. The
of information communicated by our Government to the uni-
versities respecting the despotism which these associationshave exer-
cised over the students (unknown to them) is so decisive and con-
vincing, that it justifies the abhorrence with which our academic
youth, much to their honour, feel for all secret associations.
and they will certainly never again be betrayed into such
illegal and disgraceful errors. It will appear how judiciously
the Government acted in beginning at the lowest step. Hence the
motive of the measures respecting reading societies and clubs,
which led to the discovery of the Burschensehaff, and progressively
to thatof the three higher degrees. The more dangerous this conea-
h nation of assoniations was, the more grateful num we, and especi-
ally the misled young men and their relations, be, for the paternal
goodness of his Majesty, who, in proportion as higher degrees were
discovered, showed mercy lasted of justice towards those who he-
longed to the lower degrees. The sentence against the members of
the Association of the Men will soon be published, and thus an in-
veetigation be concluded, which, if one of the most lamentable, is,

at the came time, WIC of the most important and beneficial occur-
rence* of our times.
