FRANKFORT.

The following declaration, signed by the 108 Mem-
bers of the minority of the German Parliament, ap-
pears in the Frankfort Gazette of the 30th ult.
" Considering that the National Assembly has received
from the German people the mission to prepare a con-
stitution for all Germany, but that the resolution
adopted yesterday relative to the Chief of the Empire
threatens Germany with a fatal division ; considering
that the duty of the Assembly was to make a constitu-
tion, and not to create an Imperial dynasty ; consider-
ing that the hasty resolution on the subject of the Chief
of the Empire has annulled the resolution of the As-
sembly itself to negotiate with the Imperial Austrian
Government, with respect to the relations to be entered
into between Austria and Germany, the undersigned
declare that they did Rot consider themselves authorised
to take part in the election of a Hereditary Emperor of
Germany, which has taken place this day, and they
accordingly decline all responsibility regarding that re-
solution and that election.
"Frankfort-on-the-Maine, March 28."
Of all the Austrian deputies who were in the Na-

Emperor of the Germano, not one voted for the King
of Paussu. Twenty-two Of the liberal deputies of
Prussia abstained from voting. Of the sixty-eight
Bavarian deputies, fifteen or sixteen voted for the
KING ; all the Hanoverian deputies, twenty-four in
number, did so; eight out of the twenty-six Wurtem-
burgers, five or six out of the twenty-one Saxons,
and five out of the nineteen Badeners voted in the
same way. The majority, consequently, was princi-
pally made up of the votes of the representatives of
the little states.
