BAVARIA.

MUNICH, FEB. 18.—The following letter was read
by Count BRAY, Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the
sitting of the Chambers yesterday :
" Letter from the Bavarian Ambassador (Baron
DE CETTO), in London, to Viscount PALMERSTON
" (Private.)
" London, Dec. 22, 1848.
"My dear Lord Palmerston,—l called upon you
this morning in Carlton-gardens but you bad just
left, and I was told at the door that you would pro-
bably be-absent a fortnight. This is a very long
time, and I therefore take the liberty of telling you
in writing what I had proposed telling you by word
of mouth.

"In regard to the project which has lately been
mooted of placing Yru*sia at the head of
the German Union, the report has been
spread and appears to have reached Mu-
nich, that England would not object to such an
arrangement, on the supposition that the other
Princes of Germany have no objection to give their
consent. The consequence of such a pre-supposition
are too important to permit us to give grounds, and the
KING is anxious that you should be immediately in
formed that as far as he himself is concerned it is
wholly without foundation. his MAJESTY intends
not only not to give his consent in any wise to the
said project, but he will not tolerate the establish-
ment of an hereditary Imperial Germany in favour of
any one, and it this notion, which has been more than
once mooted by the Central Committee in Frankfort,
ever again make its appearance, the KING will be
compelled expressly and decidedly to declare that he
is opposed to it. This he is entitled to do by virtue
of the guarantees of the treaty signed in Vienna by
the Great Powers, and this duty is imposed upon
him by the duties which as Prince he has sworn to
fulfil. Events in the present day travel with such
immense rapidity, I concluded I could not inform
you of it one moment too soon, and this it is which
has induced me to send you this letter, instead of
waiting for your return. As, however, I that as
yet I am only authori-ed to communicate with you
verbally on this subject, I shall be greatly obliged to
you if you will regard what I now write as if it had
come from me by word of mouth in the conversation
which I should have so had with you had you been in
town.

" Yours, &c.,
" VON CETTO."
The following extract from a letter from Count
BEAY, to the King's Ambassador, Baron CETTO, in
London, was then also read :

" MUNICH, FEB. 7.—ln reference to the homo-
geneous project which is propounded at Frankfort, it
is in.portant that the erroneous views relating to it,
and which, as it appears, have received some credit in
London, should not be suffered to exist. As the offer
of the Imperial Crown to Prussia is mainly treated of, the
KING our master, notwithstanding the intimate bond
of friendship which unites him to that power, could
not do otherwise than protest against a project
which aims at the exclusion of Austria from the Ger-
man Confederation. This obstacle is, however, not
the only one. Neither could there be the slightest
notion of referring to the treaties of 1815. The
subject now under discussion is a peculiarly national,
and domestic affair of Germany; wherefore it is not
our intention to suffer any foreign powers, whichever
it may be, to meddle with it, and it will therefore
suffice that you designate as false the pre-supposition
of the concurrence to the project of the erection of
a unitarian and hereditary central power, of which
you have spoken, and against wich the majority of the
National Assembly have since decided."— Cologne
Gazette, Feb. 24.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 12th, states that
the Danish Government has proposed a prolongation
of the armistice for three months, on the condition
that the principle of neutrality established be the basis
of the convention of lelalmoe.
