The King of Prussia's Reply to the Collet.
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 fregret,
that my duty as King of Prussia, and as a German Prince,
does hot permit me to
y
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 b 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 c)naider, as a primary condition of
my adhesion to a radical reform of the existing Federal
treaties, the understanding ou three points,
which I have
Affai
charged my Minister of Foreign rs to explain to you at
length. These three points concern :
I. The veto of Prussia and of Austria relative. to a Fe •
deral war, the object of which would not be to repel an
attack against the territory of
the Confede na.nd Austria
2. Perfect equality of rights between rPrussiai
in the presidency and direction of Federal arairs'
3. A national representation, based not upon delegation,
but upon direct election according to the population of att
th e
various States, and the attribute's of which in regard to de-
cisions respecting Federal affairs should be the subject of
t
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 othr details of the proposal which has
been communicatta to me would,
in WY opinion, lead to a
, ,
satisfactory result. I have accordingly charged my Minister
of Foreign Affairs to negotiate, in the first instance, with
the 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 me, assist in
convoking Ministerialp onferences, to prepare the plans
which the German tiove:re • will ultimately have to
ign. . ,
sanction.
