It is reported here, that the publicity of the debates in all the
States of Germany that have representative governments, is
going to be very much modified, and the public sittings of the
Assemblies will be reduced to a very small number. The States
of the South of Germany are on the point of making an ar-
rangement for a free trade between their respective territories.

The Constitutionnel has thought fit to assert, that the Coro-
nation of his Majesty was deferred in consequence of claims
made by the Pope for an indemnity, on account of the Comtat
d'Avignon. That Journal even dared to say that the Nuncio
of his holiness had been present at a Council of Ministers held
on this subject. The Constitutionitel ought to know that no
foreigner whatever has at any time been admitted to his Ma-
jesty's Councils, and in the second place that the Court of
Rome has nothing to do with the Coronation of our Kings.
This august ceremony has been constantly performed, almost
without exception, since the time of Clovis, by the Archbishop
of Rheims. We can further affirm, that the claims of in-
demnity, of which the Constitutionnel speaks, are entirely of

is own invention.
The Memorial Bordelais contains the following article :
" Letters from Buenos Ayres of the 31st December last, re-
ceived by way of Havre, make no mention of the pretended
advantages gained by Bolivar's troops over the Royalists.—
These same letters say, on the contrary, that a convention was
concluded in August between Olaneta, who had disregarded
the authority of the Viceroy, and General Valdez, who was
sent to suppress the disobedience of the former. By this con-
vention Olaneta retained the command of his little division,
but with the express condition of obeying the orders of La
Serna, and General Valdez quitted his position with the eight
thousand men that he commanded, to go and join the army of
the North."

It would seem by the following article from St.
Petersburgh, that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING has
held frequent conferences with Count NESSET.e.
RODE, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
and that he is expected to remain there until
May. What the subject of these conferences
may have been is quite a matter of conjec-
ture, but the general opinion in the Russian
Capital is, that the affairs of Greece have
mainly occupied the attention of these Diploma-
tists. However, unless it can be shewn that the
writer of the annexed article is one of the favour.
ed few who have been allowed a peep behind
the " impenetrable veil," we may be allowed to
doubt the accuracy of his intelligence, as to the
supposed plan of the Holy Alliance, for admit-
ting Greece into the European System as an in-
dependant Power.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1825•

In speaking of the plan for disfranchising the
Irish forty shilling Freeholders, yesterday, we

afterwards be applied to Great Britain. It ap-

term forty shilling freeholds. We thought
the term
was used in the same sense in Ireland
as

in
'he Times of this day is correct (and which
we subjoin), never was a term so totally misap-
plied :

ST. PETERSDURGII, MARCH 1.

In England a freeholder is considered to be a person enti-
tled to heritable property, generally free from rent, and amount-
ing in value to 40s. annually. In Ireland, more particularly
near cities and towns, such freeholds actually exist ; and a 40s.
franchise held in fee, or for ever, or for lives renewable for ever,
is usual. With these freeholds the suggested alterations do not
deal with these freeholds (which are in fact the only freeholds
existing in any degree resembling the freeholds of England) it
has never been intended to interfere. They form the basis of a
true, respectable, and independent constituency, and it would be
equally unjust and impolitic to affect them in the slightest de..
gree. The only description of voters with whom it is proposed
to deal, is that of derivative leaseholds, with which political
sPeculatists stock their grounds as they would with sheep or
black cattle, and with the same intention—namely, that of
bringing both to the best market. A proprietor of some score
of these beasts of burden being met on his approach to the house
°t a member, and being asked by a friend what was the occa-
sion of his visit, has been known to answer, coolly and care-
lessly, Faith and troth, I am going to be paid for my free-
houlders.' This is the system which will be affected, and even
freeholders of this description—namely, those holding under
leases7--it is not proposed to abolish, but to continue at an en-
larged qualification of 101."
To an alteration of this nature there cannot be
the slightest objection, but this in no way affects
our view of the measure for the payment of the

M. Stratford Canning, as is well known, arrived here some
weeks ago from Vienna as English Ambassador Extraordinary
to our Court, and will remain it is said till May. Nothing that
can be depended upon transpires respecting the frequent con-
ferences between him and our Government. Indeed all the
course of our recent policy is covered with an impenetrable veil
behind which only a few of the initiated are allowed to see. Our
Emperor directs, himself, all the important diplomatic negocia-
tions with Foreign Cabinets, and confides the execution only to
Count Nesselrode, who is at the head of the foreign depart-
ment. It is generally taken for granted that the affairs of the
Greeks, which have excited such general interest for some years
past, are a chief subject of these conferences with the English
Ambassador ; but at present there are only conjectures with
respect to the manner in which their future lot will be deter-
mined. It is, however, the general opinion here, that if Greece is
to form in future a partof the European system as an independent
power, our Emperor, in concert with his Allies, will not consent to
this independence of the Greeks, except on the condition of their
recognizing a Prince given them by the Allied Powers, and
under a Constitution framed by themselves ; but then it is
affirmed that the English Cabinet is of a different opinion.—
