By the German Papers, we find that some of
the States of Germany are employed in mutual
bargainings for an abatement of those vexatious
ind perniciouS duties which impede • the transit
of useful merchandise between neighbours the
flost favourably situated for an intercourse reci-
procally advantageous.. In a country so sub-
divided as Germany, it is difficult to imagine the
11.01:QpitiCeS experienced, by the better classes of
inhabitants, from the wretched system of inqui-
sition and obstruction established on every point
of the frontier, in even the most petty sovereignty.
The examples appear to have been set by the
more powerful, and forced, in .many instances,
upon the minor states. It is naturally among
these latter, also, that the mischief seems to
h,ave been, most severely felt ; or, at least, that
Nikom enough has been discovered, to provide
the necessary remedy. Wurtemberg and Ba-
varia are engaged in conferences on this inter-
esting question; and Switzerland, a deep sufferer
from the same has become a party to their
uegociations. As for Austria, we might as well
expect to,aee.schpolsof political economy. opened
iiplopv the
,Abyssinians, the Esquilnaux, or
Caffres, as any improvement sanctioned by her
in the existing, relations between individuals, or
in those between sovereign and subject.' Prussia,
we believe, might be brought to reason with less
difficulty than the Leiiathan of the South.

We rejoice to learn that tin'. general stele of
Ireland continues perfectly tranquil, and that
there is no present reason to dread any disturb-
ance of the public peace. Except now and then
a" whiskey insurrection," arisi: from nit excess
of the circulating medium of Irisis conviviality,
there is nothing of a disorderly aspect in any part
;of the island. The warfare of words is formi-
dable, no doubt ; and that this arises out of a
conflict of passions more formidable still, we are
well aware ; but are we entitled to expect that
the state of Ireland can permanently be very
different from what it is, white the fruitful causes
of dissension which have so long existed are per-
mitted to remain ? The friends to good order will
always be found arrayed on the side of of Govern-
ment; but at the same time, as friends to right and
justice, they cannot but he anxious that those
:honourable franchises which belong alike to all
as the subjects of a free Government, should not,
by being withheld from tiny class in the State,
be made to embroil those who administer it in
everlasting disquietude ; and by furnishing' the
great body of the people with endless, causes of
exasperation, beget end perpetoute that very
state of society which it is the end of all govern-
ment and of all law to provide against The
Scribleri of the Orange party seem determined
that no reeling or animosity shall be permitted to
expire which the runy Press of Dublin can keep
alive. But we are not deceived by this incessant
outcry in England ; the more reflective amongst
us blame the leaders of the Catholic Cause for
their unadvised and turbulent zeal; but we are
thoroughly well informed as to the real object of
the controversy ; we know well that it is not a
struggle to uphold the Protestant Church, which
is in no dattger,,but to preserve thatcoMmanding
influence and exclusive patrOnage which are in
greet danger, and which are considered by ees..
trtin noble families as a vested interest, with
which.neither the King nor his:Ministers have a
itgitirnate right to interfere.. We are ourselves
the Strenuous advocates of a Church Establish-
metal but in Ireland we consider it as abused
ft= its true purpose ; the proof of this is
amply afforded in every page of its hiStory.
In the approaching Session of Parliament the
condition of the Sister Kingdom must neces-
sarily take the lead among so' canny important
subjects which will call forth its attention ; and
when that time arrives, it must be met, as we
have no doubt it will, with that firm but fair
spirit of investigation winch is called for, as well
by the exigency of the case as by the utter in-
utility of meeting it with half measures, or with
mullet law, or with any other than a determina-
tion to lay the basis of public order and pros-
perity in a system of social equity and of poli-
tical justice.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the Nth inst. and the
Etone of Sunday reached Us last night by Ex-,
press. They contain no political intelligence
whatever. The Icing continued to spend
a large portion of his time in hunting,
whilst his Ministers were silently making ar-
rangement to meet their opponents at the opening
of. the Chambers with a superior and irresistible
force. This was not difficult to procure amongst
the Deputies, but was generally considered un-
attainable in the tipper. Chamber without the
creation of additional Peers. To this, it was
said, the Government did not mean to have re-
ooursei and all that WLIS proposed was to secure
the attefidance of the Princes of the Blood in
order to swell the list of ministerial voters.
But those Princes tire' so few in number that
their attendance can make uo very sensi-
ble difference, and unleska more effective ex.

defeats sustained by the Aministration in that
Chamber last Session may not be repeated. The
only article of interest in these Papers is the fol-
lowing account of the ttourae taken by. the tre-
mendous hurricane which lately tilled both se-:e
