lerrupted the Princess : the last Sentence drew

band of the Princess.- The followirig: is the Em-
peror's reply, as faithfully as the emotion of the
•depnties permitted them to retain it
" I know but too well what. Germany has suffered' in these
latter times, and how many Houses, formerly great 'and
-powerful, have been oppressed. Your dear Princess is a liv-
ing instance cf it. - I know my dear Germans, and am infi-
nitely affected and flattered at receiving new assurances of
their attachment. • Be convinced that I will do every thing I
can possibly effect, to insure the future repose and prosperity
'of Germany. I have been already urged from different quar-
ters to resunre the Imperial crown , and thiS,iS also my wish,
if I can accomplish it consistently with the interest of ow
own dominions. Notwithstanding the emotion which your
sliscourse has excited in -me, I am at-no loss to answer-you,,
for I desire and will nothing but what is conformable to right
and justice, and that every one may have what belongs to
him. You will see by the course of the negotiations, that
such has always been my only wish.
' I know now what a good andbrave people the Germans
'are, and you may,depend on my supporting, to the utmost of
my power, your just demands."

wards in the most afrablemanner with the. Mem-
bers of the Deputation, and to address to them
words of consolation. They retired deeply touched
by the Emperor's goodness, and- with the best
hopes, and were re-conducted to the stairs .by the
Grand Chaiuberlain.
