GERMAN PAPERS.

♦lgiiliA, I,23RUARY IL

The agents of the German manufacturers are
still here; their affairs are said to be now prose.
cated with great seal by the Committee appointed
for the purpose. There are the best founded hopes
that the fundamental plan of a future system of
commerce for Germany will be here laid down.
sad that it will be resolved immediately to appoint
a Commercial Committee of the Confederation to
pr')mote the execution of it.
. . _

• lt is said that the Prussian Ambassador has ask-
ed for new instructions from his Court, and nobody
doubts of their being favourable to the freedom of
commerce in Germany. This orthir is said to be
very warmly taken up by the Ambassadors of Ba-
varia, %Virtemberg. and Nassau, and particularly
by the Baden Ambassador. Baron Von Bernell.
The Hanoverian Cabinet too, from the readiness
with which it accedes to the idea of • general
system of commerce foe Germany, seems disposed
to contradict the opinion previously excited by a
aerial report to the Diet. Aostria, it is affirmed.
