PARIS.

MADRID, FEB. 10.

The reply of the Emperor Napoleon to the letter

SAXONY.

DRESDEN, Feb. 7.

The President of the First Chamber, Baron
Friesen, the Chief of the Conservative party in
Saxony, closed the debate on the sth, on the motion
respecting the recognition of Prince Frederick of
Augustenburg as Duke of Schleswig-Holstein by
the Band, and said :—" There might be some
objections respecting the details of the motion.
But the principal duty now was to waive all differ-
ences of opinion with regard to a question of Ger-
man right. Foreigners had sometimes endeavoured
to put an interpretation on Art. 35 of the final Act
of Vienna—an interpretation as inconsistent with
the spirit of that Article as revolting to the feel-
ings. Foreign diplomatists had called Germany
a combination far self-defence.' May it be so.
No State in the world has any right to make war,
if not for self-defence—for the defence of its rights.
Germany would never think of making an unjust
war; for the German nation was a nation fond of
peace and of right. Bat should the moment come
to defend her rights and her frontiers, be it to re-
pulse a foreign aggression or to prevent it,
Germany would know, without consulting foreign
Powers, how to interpret Art. 35 of the
final Article of Vienna. (Cheers.) The question of
the day would become a question of permanent in-
terest, because it would lead to a clearer definition
and understanding of the occupation of the Diet.
The German nation would endure no foreign inter-
ference, no hegemony. The statesman who would

look upon the present movement as a democratic one
could not have a heart for German right—(cheers)—
nor feel in his own breast the pulse of German life.
Where the movement would end nobody could
tell ; but one thing appeared certain—that
Austria and Prussia would be brought to a
consciousness of being German Powers above
all, and of yielding under whatever form it may
be, to the central authority of the Confederation.
Germany,' said the speaker, ' was a Power greater
than Prussia and Austria; the whole more powerful
than any part. The day was near at hand when the
great German Powers would learn that they were
nothing without Germany; that they have to be
proud of the German name and of the German flag;
that the smaller German States are quite as German
as the greater; that a subject of the smallest Ger-
man State is worth quite as much as a subject of
the greatest." (Cheers.)
The motion was then unanimourly carried,
