An Inquisitorial Uomulission, appointed by the

Diet of Frankfort after three years of labour

has furnished its first report, which brings down
an account of their operations to November,lB2l.
This report embraces a vast variety of objects,
and shews that its information is the result of
unwearied industry, patience, and skill, on the
part of the Members of the Commission. They
proceeded in this way :—They thought it their
duty to separate the facts according to their dif-
ferent relations, and to unite together, with each
fact in particular, all the lassa -s that offer pro-

,at. a pt, .a, ter p,
babilities, drawn from writings and proces ver
baux. In their inquiries they sought after facts,
and to the tracing of the same effects to different
causes.

The origin of the political plots in q4estion goes as far back
as the year 1806. From letters written by several persons at
that time, it was ascertained that many thought that a political
regeneration was necessary in Germany. These were followed
by seditious pamphlets, and by the labours of several associa-
tions, at the head of which was the celebrated Fichte, to esta-
blish a mode of public education, whose aim it was to unite
the German youth in a community independent of Government,
and make them the instruments of the political regeneration of
Germany. The preponderance of the French Government
pressing so awkwardly then on Germany, contributed not a
little to animate the patriotism of the young men, and at the
same time to exalt the sentiments of men of ripe age. The
report then alludes to the Society of the Union of Virtue, which
was founded in 1808. It was suppressed after the War of 1809 ;
but the members of it continued still to promote their former
objects in secret. Fro% this sprung the Germanic Union, un-
der the auspices of M. oahn. This person and some of his col-
leagues were examined by the COmmission as to the real ob-
jects of their society; but their statements were contradictory of
each other. When the French armies suffered the overthrow
in Russia, in 1812, most of the pupils and members of these
unions enrolled themselves as soldiers against France. After
the Treaty of Paris in 1814, a new union (the Union of Usin-
gen) was founded, having for its end the political unity of Ger-
many. The Germanic lesser associations multiplied. The re-
turn of Napoleon inspired these unions with fresh spirit. In
the agitations that must follow, they hoped to be able to extend
their'influence. But in consequence of much misunderstand-
ing and suspicions created in the public mind by the press with
regard to their objects, the heads of the union resolved to dis-
solve the societies, at least so far as regarded the form. The
Union of Usingen was aboliShecl in a general assembly, held at
Frankfort in the beginning of October, 1815 ; but the mem-
bers still continued active. They acted with more circumspec-
tion than before, and took their measures so well, that notwith-
standing the abolition of oaths and statutes, they could always
calculate on the fidelity and of their affiliated.
The . confederates of Usingen had commenced by gaining
over the students of Universities. In 1815, Sundt was already
a member of a society, called Tutonia. Similar societies were
formed at Heidelberg and Giessen. Irregular societies were
formed in several places, and the numbers of the associated
were trebled. There was a new society formed at Darmstadt
about this time, consisting of some of the old members of the.
Usingen Union, and having amongst its members six advocates.
All the confederates were in constant communication with each
other. They could not publish a Journal of their own for want
of money. The object which they were all interested about at
this time was the establishment of a national Parliament, which
was to convert the federation of Princes into a federation of
the people. Whilst these plans were going on in a southern
and eastern Germany, in the northern parts the gymnastic ex-
ercises ( turnwesen ) and the affiliations of students were pro-
moted. The gymnastic exercises were systematized by M.
Jahn, the Director of all the schools formed on the same plan.
The scholars of -Jahn' united by an uniformity of exercises, of
dress, and manner of living—and elevated by notions of liberty,
equality, and fraternity—by discourses, feasts, and songs, were
on the point of forming a community, to be spread over all Ger-
many, detached from all family and other ties, filled with fanati-
cism and mutual devotion, and consequently very fit w form the
model of all political factions or individuals of enterprise. The
affiliations of students were conducted on a similar plan, and had
similar objects in view. The Rte. of Warburg, in Oct. 1815,
was an era of the greatest importance. Thence these societies
and schools took amore decidedly political spirit, and, from
that to 1318, was nourished to extent as. that a plan was pro-
posed by the'Union'of Giessen, to be immediately executed,
by which the moral face of Germany was to undergo a thorough
change. The Unions/were alarmed by the assembling of Con-
gress at Aire-la-Chapelle, arid from that moment the Members
became more guarded in their conduct. They were watched
with greater assiduity. The different Unions in the mean-
time were active, and continued to propagate their opinions
by the press in various forms. The Union of Giessen required
professions of faith from its Members. Whoever signed one
of them gave thereby a guarantee of his sentiments. The Pro-
vocation to acts of this nature arrived at Jena in the month of
Feb. 1819. ' Charles Sandt already determined since December
1818, to assassinate Kotezebue, wrote to Giessen that he was
tlecided to do every thing for the safety of, Germany. It was
'very well seen that he was elevated by the discourses and de-
bates of the Union. Three weeks after Sandt 'set out for the
act of assassination,, after a sojourn very unaccountable at Fr-
furth, and after remaining font days at Frankfort, he went to
Darmstadt where he remained hid four days, near the members
of the Union. 116 waited therefor his, friend Sartorious. Sandt
set out for Manheien, and there committed the assassination.—
The letter which he left to his friends of Jena, implies the
most perfect concurrence in their sentiments circumstance
that merits the more attention, as the opinions of the students,
expressed in their letters aid .iournals on the crime of Sandt,
exhibit the greatest diversity. Sandt did not hesitate to declare
his most intimate and cherished friend as having a knowledge
of his design, which he did solely ,to rescue from all suspicion
another friend with ',whom he was less intimately connected,
but from whom he expected. more for the success of the
Union. Thus it was that he put in practice the principle that
all means are good—a principle by which he thought to jus-
tify his crime. The writing which W publishedapublishedbY Sandt

'not wanting to act up to the injunctions of Sandt ; but all their
attempts and intrigues were foiled, and the investigations that
were set on foot in 1819 in several parts of Germany,' and the
seizing oti, variety of papeo, completely checked the activity
of the Unions. Some of their members proposed to establisti
an asylum in America. The plan was committed' to a paper,
Which contains a very remarkable view of all the manoeuvres of
the faction up to that time. With this paper is connected the
further means of discovering the operations of the faction.

THE ARMY.

SENTENCE UPON CAPTAIN JOHN JEBB, ROYAL

HORSE GUARDS.

A letter has been received bi Major-General
Sir HENRY 'TORRENS, Adjutant-General, from his Royal
Highness the Duke of YoRK, Comtnander-m-Chief, of which
the'following is a copy; verbatim, which will no doubtbe issued
in General Orders throughout the Army :
Horse Guards, 4th October, 1822.

SIR,--1 have laid before the King the, proceedings of a Ge-
neral Court-marial held at Knightsbridge Cavalry Barracks, on
the 24th and 26th of September. 1822, for the trial of Captain
Jebb, of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, who was ar-
raigned upon the undermentioned charges :-
1. For neglecting to comply with a regimental order, dated
April 18, 1821, respecting the settlement of his regimental
debts, due to the clerk of his troop ; though frequently applied
to by the clerk of the troop for that purpose.
2. For disgraceful conduct, in giving two drafts to the mess-
man'of the regiment, on the agents, which drafts were disho-
noured, about the 24th of .June and 7th of July, 1822.
3. For being repeatedly absent from his regiment without
leave, in the year 1822: all such conduct being highly preju-
dicial to good order and military discipline, and 'unbecoming
the character of an officer and gentleman.
Upon which charges the Court came to the following deci-
sion :

" The Court having taken into their consideration the whole
of this case, and having duly weighed the evidence laid before
them, as well on the part of the prosecution as by Captain Jebb
in his defence, are of opinion as to the first charge, that Captain
Jebb is guilty of having neglected to comply 'with a regimental
order, dated 18th of April, 1821, respecting the settlement of
his regimental debts due to the clerk of his troop, such debts
having been made known to him by the troop account-book
being exhibited to him in the usual manner.
" As to the second charge, that Capt. Jebb is guilty of
having given two drafts to the messman of the regiment, on
the agents, which drafts were dishonoured about the 24th of
June and 7th of July, 1822, such,conduct being, in the opi-
nion of the Court, under all the circumstances stated, as con-
nected with the transaction, unwarrantable and reprehensible.
" As to the third charge, that Capt. Jebb is guilty.
"The Court having found Captain Jebb guilty, as above
stated, do sentence him to be removed from his Majesty's
service."

Having thus performed a duty which they have considered
themselves called upon. to discharge for the due maintenance
of discipline in his Majesty's service, the Court are induced,
from captain's Jebb's length of service, from some of the
circumstances which have appeared in the course of this in-
quiry, and also from the favourable testimonials which Cap-
tain Jebb has laid before them as to his character, humbly,
but strongly, to recommend him as a fit object faimhis Majesty's
favourable consideration.

His Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding
, and sentence of the Court; hut in gracious consideration of the
manner in which the Court have recommended the prisoner,
his Majesty is pleased to permit him, Captain Jebb, to receive
the regulated value of his commissions.-1 am, Sir, yours,
FREDERICK, Commander-in-Chief.
To the Adjutant-General.
In consequence of the preceding letter, the following was im-
mediately transmitted by the Adjutant-General to his Grace
the Duke of Wellington :
(coPit.)
Horse-Guards, Oct. 5, 1822.
MY LORD DUKE,—I have the honour to transmit to your
Grace the copy of a letter addressed to me by his Royal High-
ness the Commander-in-Chief, communicating the finding and
sentence of the general court-martial held for the trial of Capt.
John Jebb, of the Royal Regiment of Horse-Guards, together
with his Majesty's pleasure thereupon ; and I have it in com-
mand to request that your Grace will be pleased to cause the
same to be immediately notified to Captain Jebb.
I have the honour to be, my Lord Duke,
Your Grace's most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) H. TORRENS, A.G.
To Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington,
K.G., G.C.8., &c. &c. &c.
The Duke of Wellington being on the Continent, this letter
was forwarded to the Officer commandidg the Blues.
Yesterday, after divine service, Colonel Drake, M.P., who
appeared to be commanding the corps (and not Sir R. Hill)
called the regiment together into the riding house, and there
read aloud the charges and sentence to the whole. We did not
perceive Captain Jebb present, nor indeed any but the persons
officially connected with the regiment.
After reading some other orders, the regiment returned to the
barracks.

Sir James Lyon. The morning proving very wet, the manwuvres
were postponed until yesterday afternoon, when the General,
attended, by his Staff, proceeded to Southseic-Common, where
the battalion was drawn up, and after the customary salute,
went through the movements in a most coorrect and soldier-like
style. Col. Hall was complimented on the efficient state of the
Battalion, which has been, for so short a time embodied to-
gether ; the officers individually, are certainly entitled tegreat
credit; and we must observe, that though the men chiefly con.
silt of young soldiers and raw recruits, , their soldier-like ap-
pearance in the field was much commended, as, is also their
general deportment as civilians.,

The Journal de Paris relates the following oc-
currence :-" Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, the wife of the
Sieur Caff'e, and the daughter of Sieur Sauge, (both of whom
are under sentence of death for the conspiracy of Poitiers;)
threw themselves before the door of the carriage of her Royal
Highness the Duchess de Berri, as it was returning to the
Castle. At the sight of these ladies, who held out petitions,
the Princess called out to stop the carriage, but which, on ac-
count of the speed at which it was proceeding, could not be in-
stantly done. One of these ladies fell amongst the piquet of
Lancers, who formed the escort, but the men adroitly Waled off
their horses, and she only experienced a rather severe contusion
on the arm. The other supplicant was not hurt.. On being re-
leased from this perilous position, they ran to the door of the
entrance hall of the Royal residence, and her Royal Highness
sent one of her household to receive their petitions. The com-
passionate goodness evinced on this occasion by the Princess,
has impressed with gratitude a wife and a daughter, anxious
to fulfil the most sacred duty of nature."
