FRANKFoirr, NOVEMBER 3.
One of the most profound lid cutulacliensive

addresses which have yet been delivered in the
Diet, is tindonhtedly the e' View of the various
Systems of Legislation mu the Freedom of the Press,
puticsilarly in Germany," which was given in by
Mr, on Berg, Minister of Holstein OldenbUrg, in
the 51st sitting of the Diet. This view, drawn up
in consequence of the resolution of the order of the
Diet of 26th March last year, is preceded by a de-
velopernent of the principal system of the Liberty of
the Press, with its different modifications, and fol-
lowed by an exposition of its application to legisla-
ti ~,,, particularly for the German States. His Ex-
cellency communicated at the same time the con-
tents of two Dissertations delivered to the Diet, in
1817 ; one by Baron Drais, of Maiiheim, the other
by Professor Hillenbrand: and, 'lastly, the work of
Profea-nr Krng, of Leiosic, presented in 1918, olt
the Liberty of the 'Preto in Germany and • ill
England.
The Report is divided into four sections. M.-:de
Berg, after explaining to the preamble the luteti-
um's of the Diet, in charging him with this work,
the object and tke Mode of the Report proceeds to
the general prindiples, defines them, is well as the
abuses and the license of the Preos,and the teasoee,
and explains the two principal systems on the
liberty of the Press—namely, that of justice and of
the pol,ce, both in theory turd in the legislation
now followed in many European States, especially
in Germany. )His EitcellencyConcludes his Report
by a view of the ancient laws of the ympire, and the
points on which they had been departed from
formerly ; he examines what depends mu the Con-
federation io gentry', and mi the GOvermairens in
particular. He concludes by proposing 'to testify
the satisfaction of the Assembly to the authiMs who
have sent in their works. The Diet passed f• is Mir-
o, i 11l nus voles of thanks to Mr. fir Berg, for the
luminous nonuser in which he has treated the sub-
ject, and appointed a Committee to lay down prin-
ciples and propose uniform measures in this
respect.

2.-The gratitude of the Diet shall be expressed to Baron

The Council of State, at which the King will pre-
side in pervou, will then decide, after the Colonel',
defence has been before it.
The King .ffia his suite are expected to be back
here in the middle of November. Respecting the
tuarliage of the'Crown Prince, it is now reported
that lie is to matry the Prioress of Meeltlenburg,
who is said to be'very beautiful and amiable. Au
earlier report respecting the Prince's marriage,
mentioned the 1-Itrtdrtary Princess of Denmark as
his intended consort.
The DOke of Cuulbetland has hired a hotel here
Tor a year.
The following are some authentic particulars of
the great gifts of domains and exchanges against
foreign claims :
Prince Hardesibrre received estates of the vaiiie of
4054,102 rix•dollars ; Prince Blucher in estates and a 11111111 t
in Selina, 5M5,757 ; Rotolo, 200,000; Yurck, 20N0n0
l'sticuzirn, 500,000; Gneiscnau, 51)0,000; Kncarbark,
100,000; SalliZ, 49,318; Zs‘trow, 011,000 (both three as

Quern of Holland, 1,1100,000; Count Mussbury, wome.
Among these are not included many little dota-
lions, by hereditary leases; and by all these sums
Meiji has :retired its reward, and private claims
been Poistird. The Government has adopted the
principle of selling all the domains, the purchase
moral- to be restored at the rate of four per coot.,
mad to redeem the paper curretic.7 of the Stale by
the sums recrivril, because domains when farmed
out, or tolimoistered by Government, never do so
wr II as 111 the bond• of private. persons. But grunt.
tng tlii, losieicivle, the domains might lie preserved
to the State, and every useful oliject of superior
culture be obtaiiirti, by letting theist on hereditary
leases.—(Allgermeine Zeitortg to November 4.)
