FRANKFORT, Auo. 20.—The votes of the different Mem-
bers of the Federal Diet, on the propositions of Austria, relative
to the limits of the representative system, to the publicity of the
proceedings in the Parliaments, to the Universities, and to the
Press, merit the attention of politicians. A praiseworthy de-
sire may be remarked to escape from a state of things that is
only provisional, and several declarations that are honourable
to the frank character of the Germans. The following is the
manner in which the votes were given
CONCLUSION OF TILE EXTRACT OF TILE «217# SITTING OF

THE DIET.
PRUSSIA.--I adhere entirely to the whole contents of the
proposition of the President, 'illicit has just been read, because
my Court cannot fail to have the greatest interest, and take the
greatest care in the preservation of those principles which have
been adopted in concert, particularly in all which concerns
mahashdeg in vigour the Provisional Law for the Liberty of
the Press, and consequently it expects with the same confidence
us the Court of Austria, to see all the states of the Confedera-
, tion unite for the same object.
Bay au lA.—The Bavarian Legation subscribes with grati-
tude to }Lathe Articles of the President's proposition, which it
hue just heard read, anti particularly to the 4th Article relative
to the abuse of the Liberty of the Press, viz. :—" That all the
Governments of the Confederation will agree as soon us possible
on an uniform system of regulations for the Press and Books, to
be framed according to Article 18th of the Federative Act, and
in the mean time; that the measures agreed to on this subject in
the all Sitting of 1819, be maintains as they have hitherto
been in all the States of the Confederation, and consequently
also in the dominions of Bavaria."
SAXOXY.—The Minister of Saxony is ordered to declare
that his Sovereign accedes to the President's proposition, and
his Majesty recognises with gratitude the solicitude for the ge-
neral welfare of Germany, which the Court of Vienna has again
proved by this act, and the King promises the most zealous co-
operation to attain the object of the propositions.
HastovEu..—The Royal Government of Hanover adheres
wholly to the principles and views of the Court of Vienna. It
has made them at all times the basis of the interior adminis-
tration of the country, and has carried them into execution in
its system of legislation. It shares the wishes of his Majesty
the Emperor for the future fate of Germany, for the preserva-
tion of principles anti of tranquillity, and for the welfare of ge-
nerations to come. The 'Government, therefore, subscribes to
the President's propositions in every point.

declare his adherence to the same principles as formerly, and to
!thew himself disposed to concur in the object proposed, by tak-
ing part in the choice of Members for the Committee. As to
what concerns the 4th Art. relative to the renewal of the law of
1819 on the Press, it is the only one on which the Minister of
Wirtemberg is provided with special instruction, and is autho.
rived to declare hk That he accedes to the project of a General
Meeting to maintain the provisional law of 1819 on the Press,
till a definitive law can be made.' '
llaDEN.—The Legation is ordered to make the following
declaration :--The Grand Duke has receioed from his subjects
too many, proofs of their love and unalterable fidelity ; he
has been too often convinced of their devotedness to his Go.
vernment, and of the love of justice which characterises them,
not to hasten, before all things, to render to his people
a testimony, than the expression of which nothing can be
more satisfactory to his heart. For the same reason, his
Royal Highness must manifest his firm conviction, that
the attempts of perturbators of the public peace, the plans
'of foreign demagogues, tending to overthrow the present state
of things, will hare no effect whatever on the mass of his sub.
jects; even although some of them, led astray by chimercial
theories, depart from the road which has for once and all been
traced for them by honour and duty. Ilia" Royal Highness
nevertheless, acknowledges that the existence of such attempts,
the proofs which have been produced do not permit him, union.
tunately, to doubt the existence of an evil, a remedy for which
cannot be too speedily found. The history of modern times
has fully confirmed the truth, that by overturning the existing
state of things, new evils are added, to those which already
exist ; that contentment and happiness cannot exist as long as
every man must every- day tremble for what he holds most
dear and most sacred. His Royal Highness, therefore, thinks
it his duty to adopt all the means which may serve to banish
all the uneasiness which threatens incessantly private trap.
quality, and takes from Governments that permanent secs.
rity, the shelter of which alone places them in a condition to
devote themselves with zeal and solicitude to promote the hap.
piness of their subjects. In the propoeition mae by heat Pre.
sident, the Grand Duke sees a new proof of the enligened
care which the Emperor of Austria takes of the general wel.
fare of the Germanic Confederation. As to what concerns its
contents, his Royal Highness, faithful to the fundamental
principles of the Confederation, has always had it at heart, to
watch over the maintenance of the Monarchical principle in
his dominions. He has rejected all the demands of the estates
of the Grand Duchy not in harmony with this principle, and
has strewn in this respect a firmness which does not permit a
doubt that he will, in future, watch over the preservation of
this principle. . The Grand Duke has regulated his conduct
on the conviction that the Confederation can only be strength.
ened by its different members never losing sight, in their (io-
vernment operations, of the system of the Confederation. Hie
Royal Highness, therefore, is ready to agree with the wishes
of die Court of Austria, and to meet on the basis of a regula.
tion, such as is atipulated by the final act of Vienna, with the
other members of the confederation, whine sisuation is the
same as his Royal Highness always acknowledges, as an ad.
vantage of the Federal Legislation, that it is superior to the
legislation of the individual States, whenever the latter cannot
be brought into harmony with the resolutions of the Confede-
ration, and that by an executive regulation, provision has been
made to complete those resolutions which arc within the corn.
