GERMAN PAPERS.

PRSTH, APRIL 26.---Th, royal rescript of the 16th o
April, addressed to the Diet at Preaburg, however it may
have displeased the nasjority of the members, is highly
approved by all intelligent and sincere friends of the coun-
try. It blames with dignity, calmness, and moderation
the irregular manner in which the business of the Diet
has hitherto been conducted, and seriously recommends it
to take into its consideration, above all things, the royal
propositions which tend to promote the real advantage of
the country, and to accelerate the labours of the Assem-
bly, and not to give its attention to useless secondary
points. Those points are especially recommended which
relate to the assignment of landed property to the pea-
santry, to the improvement of the administration of jus-
tice, and to making the nobility hear some part of the
public burdens, and thus relieve the other inhabitants. It
as evident that these rebrms (though by no means stir-
Aciently extensive) would have no other than a beneficial
effect, anti it is expected that they will be vehemently op-
posed by the great body of the aristocracy, who will not
voluntarily resign any portion of their ancient privileges,
and who wish to remain absolute masters in a country
that calls itself free.

We are anxious to see how the Government will over-
come this opposition. It is to be observed here, that in
Hungary only, the nobility is, properly speaking, repre-
sented, for the deputies of the free cities act such an in-
significant and subordinate part in the Diet, that they are
allowed to vote or not at the pleasure of the Noble Depu-
ti •s ! The great mass of the nation, the agricultural class,
is not represented at all. Now it may reasonably be asked,
eau the ❑obility he judges in their own cause? The re•
ports of the troubles in Transylvania have been much
exaggerated. The journey of Field-Marshal Blassils to
that country, which was supposed to be in consequence of
these troubles, seems to be connected with the affairs of
Turkey, which renders the presence of some troops ne-
cosaary.

and it is estimated that a third part of the population is
more or less Zto'ted by it.
STUTGARD. MAY 2.—The Government paper of 2d
May, contains the Royal Ordinance convoking an As-
pembly of the States. M. Pfilzer has been re-
elected deputy at Tuhingen, by 121 out of 143 votes.
We were, therefore, mistaken if we said that he had failed,
and that Dr. Wideinann was elected ; the latter is, in-
deed, chosen from the Upper Bailiwick only, and M.
Pfi'zer for the town of Tubingen. In the district of
Welzheim a very strange circumstance took place : part of
the electors, instead of vo'ing for either of the candidates,
gave their votes for his Majesty the King. It was in vain
that the High Bailiff and the committee represented to
theta that the Sovereign could not be a Member of the
Chamber of Deputies. They replied that they had no
confidence in any other person than their King. Accord
iug to the law, it was necessary to rnter their votes on the
poll book. On the second day, M. Metoch had the ma-
jority of valid votes. Meantime, the electors who has;
eh..c.ed a deputy in such an elevated sphere, had acquired
more correct notions of constitutional forms, and on the
'OVA; day came again and voted for M. Lang, who thereby
plitqineo Nhe majority; but as according to the law of
elections, vote's even for persons not eligible cannot be re-
fused if the eectofs persist in giving them ; and as, on the
,oitiier hand, the same 13W declares that no elector shall be
adlorycd to recal or alter his vote which he his once
giYea, P ues t ion arises whether the first vote is to be
nonaiderecl as not having been given, or the second to be

Zor UTGA RD, MA Y 4.—The election terminated this
evening in a very unexpected manner. Each of the can-
didates, M. Van Body, Chief President of the Tiibunal,
and Professor Uhland, had 250 votes. The former
being the senior will be deputy.

the Bavarian Government has ratified the commercial
treaty with Prussia.—Frankfort Papers, May 7.
