Upwards of a quarter of an hour was consumed at the
post through the restiveness of General Hess, who con-
tinually refused to face the starter. At last Mr. M'George,
seeing a favourable opportunity,lowered his flag to one of the
best starts of the meeting, the lot getting away as nearly in
a line as possible. On settling in their places as they
breasted the hill they somewhat spread. Man-at-Arms,
despite his heavy impost, appearing in command on the
extreme right, having in his wake The Monk, Croagh Pa-
trick, General Hess, Eleanor, Dunkeld, Aurelian, and
Muezzin ; then followed in the centre of the course Balham,
Gamecock, Prince Plausible, Donnybrook, and The Princi-
pal, Benjamin, Fitz-Eva, and Bertha taking a line to them-
selves on the lower ground. With little or no variation
they retained these positions until they reached the Bushes,
where they split. The Monk at the same time getting upon
closer terms with Lord Uxbridge's colt, followed by Elea-
nor, and in a few strides further by Muezzin, the four
drawing away from the ruck as they descended into the
Abingdon Mile Bottom, entering which Jemmy Grimshaw
headed Man-at-Arms, who compounded to the weight, anti
was beaten after a game struggle by half a length ; Eleanor
was third, three lengths in their rear; Muezzin was a good
fourth, and close up with him came Balham fifth, Benja-
min sixth, Bertha seventh, Fitz-Eva eighth, with Dun-
keld and Croagh Patrick next, the ruck being brought up
by General Hess,Waterwitch,National Guard, and Lucretia.
Jackal, shortly after starting, split his pastern so badly that
he was at once destroyed.

The King of Prussia's Reply to the Collec
tive Letter of the German Princes.

The following is the translation of the King of
Prussia's reply to the collective note of the German
Princes who attended the Frankfort Congress
The projects of Federal reform concerned at Frankfort-
on-the Maine have been brought to my cognizance by the
letter that you, in concert with other German princes and
the representatives of the Free Towns addressed to me
under date of the Ist of this month. I have subjected these
propositions
to the most conscientious examination, as I
promised in my letter of the 20th of last month, addressed
to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, at Frankfort-on-
the-Maine. This examination has not convinced me that
the proposed reform in its present form is of a kind to crown
the efforts we have made for a number of years in order to
ameliorate the Federal Constitution. I have not found in
the project the true expression of the situation and of the
wants which ought to be taken into account, if the vitality
and duration of such a work are to be assured.
I do not hesitate to declare although with great [regret,
that my duty as King of Pru'sde, and as a German Prince,
does not permit me to adopt the project communicated to
me as the basis of a new Federal Constitution.
I cannot consent to an extension of Federallobjects such
as have been determined by treaties and by the competency
of the central Federal authority, unless account is taken,
as it ought to be, of the influence of Prussia in the Con-
federation, and of the common interests of the German
nation. In this sense I consider, as
a primary condition of
my adhesion to a radical reform of the existing Federal
treaties, the understanding on three points, which I have
charged my Minister of Foreign Affairs to explain to you at
length. These three points concern
1. The veto of Prussia and of Austria relative to a Fe-
deral war, the object of which would not b e to repel an
attack against the territory of the Confederation.
2. Perfect equality of rights between Prussia
in the presidency and direction of Federal affairs.
3. A national representation, based not upon delegation,
and Austria
but upon direct election according to the population of the
various States, and the attributes of which in regard to de-
cisions respecting Federal affairs should be the subject of
discussion, and under all circumstances should be more ex-
tended than those formulated in
the plan of reform in
question.
Before an understanding is established upon this basis
no discussion of the other details of the proposal
lead to a
which has
been communicated to me would, in my opinion,
satisfactory result. I have accordingly charged my Minister
, ,
of Foreigi. Affairs to negotiate, in the first instance, with
tho Imperial Austrian Government on the subject of this
basis, in the hope that you, as soon as the necessary under-
standing is established will in concert with mc, assist in
cenvoking Ministerial conferences, to prepare the plans
which the German Sovereigns will ultimately have to
sanction. (Signed) . WILLI/ist
