THE PRESS IN GERMANY.

STUTGARD, JULY 6.—The Committee of the
German Diet, charged with the execution of the
decrees issued by the several Congresses, for the
purpose of restricting the liberty of the press in
Germanv, has just. denounced to that assembly
nothrr periodical paper, published here under
the title of Universal Political Annals, for hav-
ing published an article headed The Diplomatists,
in which the Committee conceive that the author
endeavoured to throw ridicule on diplomacy,
and which it has declared is one of those that de-
serve animadversion as offending the honour of
the Diet and of the principal Sovereigns of Ger-
many, as well as of their Ministers. The author,
in our opinion, paints diplomacy and diplomatists
in a general manner, without pointing out any body.
It is in fact difficult to print any thing more mode-
rate. The writer employs about a dozen pages
to prove that Ministers who desire to know what
trusses in the neighbouring states ought to receive
memorials from all persons, and not be con-
tented with those of their own agents only ; be-
cause the latter, with the view of pleasing their
masters, frequently disguise the truth. Now,
as there are in all classes of society individuals
possessing talents and virtues, and others who
are destitute of them, it does not clearly appear
how what is said of bad diplomatic characters
(none of.whom, besides, is named) can offend the
good. What step the Diet may take in so deli-
cate an affair cannot be foreseen ; but it is be-
lieved that the King of Wurtemberg will not
readily consent to the suppression of the Annals,
published .by Mr. Cotta, the proprietor and
principal editor, whose character is generally re-
spected for the moderation of his principles.

The Charleston Papers, to the 25th June.,
.which arrived this morning, do not contain any
information.

The Prince de POLIGNAC, Ambassador from
;Ms MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY to the Court of
London, reached town yesterday evening.
Mr. Secretary CANNING, this morning, paid
"the Prince de POLIGNAC the usual visit of con-
•gratulation on his Excellency's arrival, and
'his Excellency and Viscount MAncELLus will
dine at Gloucester Lodge to-day.
On Sunday dispatches were received in town
from Lord AMHERST, dated from Rio.
Yesterday dispatches were received at the
Foreign Office from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, at St.
Petersburg!).

The following is the extraordinary manner in
which the public execution of yesterday is men-
tioned in a Morning Paper :—" Hanging was
carried into effect yesterday in the. Old Bailey,"
&c. 8,4 e,
