HANOVER, AUG. 19.—The proceedings against the
Magistrates are so far advanced, or rather closed, that the
document's have been transmitted from the tribunal at
Hanover to that at 03naburg, to be examined by Dr.
Stuve, whom the Magistrates have chosen for their counse'.
He has been called upon to inspect them, after the 15th, to
bring forward the defence in a fortnight.
Accounts have lately been received from Frankfort.
They are said to relate partly to the latest addresses pre-
sented to the Diet, particularly to that of the city of
Hanover, which was distributed on the 15th among the
Members of the Diet. The accounts are said not to be
conformable to the wishes of the friends of the Constitution.
OSNABURO, Auo. 14.—Our city has lately been again
the theatre of considerable fermentation. The petition to
his Majesty, signed by some hundreds of the most respect-
able citizens, has been returned unopened, as you
may have already learnt from the newspapers. The
few persons who founded their hopes on recent events,
particularly those at Bremeworde, now feel much disap-
pointed. Instead of material concessions, which they
expected would be granted, the right of petition,
Section 33 of the new draft of a Constitution, is re-
voked, and thus every subject is deprived of the means of
petitioning his Majesty. No right of petition, a Diet of
three months once in three years, Estates which can pro-
pose nothing, but merely deliberate on the subjects trans-
mitted to them; no responsibility of the Ministers ; the
liability of all public officers to be removed, such are the
general subjects of conversation.
HANOVER, Ace. I4.—The military, who were called in
from the neighbouring towns on account of the events
which took place last month, left us to-day. Perfect
tranquillity prevails in every part of the kingdom. No-
body except the correspondents of sonic newspapers know
anything of excitement or fermentation. Those who take
idle talk for fermentation must look on almost all Europe
as in a state of fermentation, and many German States would
be declared in a state of revolution if controversies in the
Journals were to be taken as the standard of their political
state. We know very well that there are individuals in
Hanover, as well as other countries, who would prefer con-
fusion to order, because they do not find their account in
the latter. But the number of those who would lose by
confusion is too great, and the power of the Government
too considerable for that party to show itself boldly. It is
true that many things it dare not do appear in the papers
as wishes or as pretended facts. People here are greatly
amused by the mendacious attacks of the newspapers on
the Cabinet Minister, Baron Von Schele, and we know very
well that this hostility is not really directed against him.
Among many forged reports is that which states, that two
great powers wish for the dismissal of the Cabinet Minis
er, in which there is not a syllable of truth.
His Majesty has given the post of Governor of Minden
to Major. General Victor Von Armtscheldt, who so highly
distinguished himself in the Peninsular War.
CIIRISTIANA, AUG. 16.—A courier from Stockholm, has
brought the protocol of the Council of State, in conse-
quence of which the Storthing was dissolved to-day at
one o'clock. His Majesty has refused his sanction, to the
draft of a criminal code; 2, to the Bill for abolishing the
Ordinance of 13th January, 1741, relative to religious
meetings, and to others of less importance. M. Sibborn,
Counsellor of State, yesterday communicated to the Storth-
ing, in the name of his Majesty, renewed proposals for
making some alterations in the Constitution. The King
gave orders on the 9th that conformably to sec. 112 of the
Constitution, proposals should be laid before the Storthing
then assembled for changes in sec. 17, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 ,
82, and 92 ; and likewise a fundamental law relative to
the admission of the Members of the Council of State to
participate in the deliberations of the national representa-
tion, but without a vote ; which proposals are to be dis-
cussed and voted on in the next ordinary Storthing. The first
proposal was accompanied by a long letter from his Majesty
