.COoniele of the
Congres states from Vienna, 19th December,—,
" The:atfairs of Germ Any are going on
.in the
most desirable ,manner. The principles expressed
by Aiistria, Prussia, an 4 England, were indirect
d
invitations to ineetl ,ishes of all. s It is af-
firmed that:the extension of Belgium to the Rhine
is certain. Bavaria it said to 'have agreed with
' Prussia for- the- exchange of the countries on the
left bank of the Rhine."

KNN , Dec. 22.--A public print affirms, that
the Note preSented by Prince Metternich, in an-
S NrCT to that of Wurtember;:,„ turns on two princi-
pal points, lst.The territorial extent of the polders
which will form in future the German Confedera-
tion: 2d. The political Constitution of these States.
The solution of the first question, says the Note,,
depends on that of the affairs of Europe ; conse-
quently the Committee for the affairs of Germany
Can employ itself only on the second queltionl;
the particular knowledge of air that concerns
the territorial changes is not necessary in order
to tertnina."e the Federal Act. The Members ef

the German Committee are besides sufficiently ac-
quainted with the principal relations which will
take place, and trifling deviations can have no in-
fluence in this respect, since when at a late period
the drawing up of the Federal Act shall be pro-
ceeded upon, it wilt be easy to add the chanter that
may have been judged necessary during the Con-
gress. The wise representations of Bavaria,
Han Over, and Wirtemberg, had caused it to be
determined to abandon the first plan that had been

proposed.
It could no: be left to the option of a German

Prince to accede or nut to the German Confedera-
tion ; aTid the advantages resulting front this Cln-
federation to the total,ty of the German nation,
could not he granted, except as a compensation
for the sacrifices which tbe good of the whole
nation requires". 'the object of the grand. al-
liance, as far as Germany is concerned, was the
abolition of the Rhenish Code(la:Won, and the
re-establishment of the Liberty and Constitution

of Germany, with snmealinditications.

NEW ,CONSTITUTION OF GERNI NY.

of the States ; but every country in particular is left at liher-
ty not only to grant nwrtNexten,ive rights to its States, but
also to give them a Constitution adapted to the usages and
the nature of the country, or to the character of its inhabi-
tants.

Gern►sin must enjoy without constraint in every pal t of Ger-
many; for exainple', that of emigrating tinder certain re-
rictions. of engaging in the military or civil service of other
German States.
These two last articles leave Austria and Prussia :s liberty
to attend in their execution to t extent of their dorainio,o,
which include countries that:are no part of the German Con-
federation.

FRENC II PAPERS.

VIENNA, DEC. 18.---The Deputies of several
dioceses and chapters in Germany have delivered
to the,Congress, a Memorial,. intituled " A Pic-
titre of the distressed sitnation of the Catholic
Church;-deprived of its fonds and of its pastors,
in tiermany." This memorial has been strongly
supported by the papal nuncio, and has. made
much imprest:ion. The principal points of the
petitioners are, first, the re-establishment of the
Cre-rtilan church in its independence and its rig-Lts ;
above all, as they regard the election of h:sitops :
secondly, the restitution of the E:..felcsiastical
Funds, nherever such restitution can be made
without inconvenience, and an indetnnity for what.
cannot be restored. It is iti,ertvd that the Q-. 1,
tholic po,vers have acknowledged these bases ute
necessary for the re-es'tabli3hrutent of the Ch'llrh,
and to secure its necessary influence on the hap-
piness of the people.
