POSEN.

The Oberlandesgericht-Assessor (Assessor of the
Supreme Court) Fischer in Posen, has made the fol-
lowing protest against the choice of electors and the
election of a Deputy from the district of Posen to the
aing
ccordance
ryd
aan
ce Cabinettho order
German NationaelsAtystsheemßb
W declared,
of April his
rill 2 ih4j
opinion of the Ministry, that the organization promised
to the Polish inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Posen
.should not extend to those portions of it where the
German nationality predominated, but that on
the contrary the annexation of them to the
German Confederation should be demanded without
delay from the German Federal Assembly, the latter,
on the application of Prussia, in its 39th session, April,
22:1, resolved—
" That several districts of the Grand Duchy of Posen,
adjoining the German federal territory, in which the
majority of population, amounting to 593,000 souls,
should, according to the wish of the inhabitants, be re-
ceived into the Germanic Confederation."
By a supreme Cabinet order of April 26th, again,
several portions of the Grand Duchy of Posen were ex-
cluded from the Polish organization, and on May 2d, in
the 45th sitting of the Federal Assembly, upon the ap-
plication of Prussia, the city and fortress of Posen, with
the districts connecting them with the above-mentioned
territory and a population of 273,500 souls, were also
received into the Germanic Confederation.
The first application, according to the tenor of which
the annexation to the Germanic Confederation was to be
effected agreeably to the wish of the inhabitants,
contained an untruth, because the will of the people
had pronounced itself against it in a legal
manner, through its usual organ the assembled Diet ;
because another organ for ascertaining the will of the
people was yet wanting, and not heard ; because only
individuals and individual communities had pronounced
themselves for the annexation to Germany, whereas
the opposed will of the Polish people had manifested
itselt unmistakably, especially: by the general wearing
of their national colours ; and, finally, because the Po-
lish population, trusting to the public promises of the
Government, the fulfilment of which it expected, had
no cause for general and open protests and declarations.
The second declaration violated the promises made to
the Poles ; it put in place of justice, which Germany
and her organs asked for, selfishness—and instead of
separating the German from the Polish nationality, and
putting an end to the oppression of the Poles, a fortress
which, with its surrounding forts, is as much built for
oppressing the Poles as for repelling a foreign foe; a few
Germans, who for the moat part had left their German
fatherland, already under ancient Polish rule, were
taken as a pretext for annexing to Germany hundreds
of thousands of Poles living on the land inherited from
their forefathers, against their wish, and even without
being listened to ; they were made the pretence for
severing the greater half of the Polish population of
the Grand Dachy from that portion which was to be
re• organized.
General Von Pfuel considerably increased the por-
tion annexed to Germany by his declaration of May 12,
by which pure Polish portions of the districts of Shroda,
Adelnau, Shrimm, Posen, Kosten, Kriiben, Krotoshin,
Mogilno, and Wongrowiec, are excluded from the orga.
nization, and united with ;the Germanic Cenfederation.
General Von Pfuel was not authorised by his instruc-
tion or powers to make this declaration or increase..
Now, in this part of the ancient Polish kingdom, almost
entirely inhabited by Poles, in which only the city of
Posen contains a considerable German population—out
of 40,000, about 9,000 souls exclusive of the families of
civil and military officers, and most of those descendants
of Germans, who by virtue of especial privileges had
settled in the old Polish kingdoms ; now, from this part
of the country a deputy is to be chosen for the German
National Assembly, and I, as a German employe, not
having been able to leave this territory, notwithstand-
ing reiterated requests, have been summoned to take
part in this election.
I protest against this election, because the ancient
Polish territories can only then be received in the Ger-
manic Confederation, when after the re establishment of
peace and order in the land, after the cessation.of the pre-
sent rule of force, the will of the people, can unreservedly
and distinctly pronounce itself ; and when upon the de-
mand of the inhabitants of each and every district, that
desires a separation from the Grand Duchy, the Ger-
manic Constituent National Assembly on the one hand,
and the legal organs that are to be constituted by the same
Assembly on the other hand, have concluded the act of
annexation to Germany, and because only after this an-
nexation the respective members of the Union are en-
titled to send representatives to the German National
Assembly. _ _

protest against the election, which is to be proceeded
with, on the ground of acts for which neither his Ma-
jesty the King, nor the Ministers of the State, nor the
Germanic Confederate Aisembly, were competent, at a
time when the people and their rights are no longer ob-
jects of the absolute will of Governments—when the
only existing legal organ of the land has pronounced it-
self against the annexation:to Germany—has never been
heard on the subject of the projected parti-
tion—and when more than half a million of
Poles protest against this act. The law of the
22d May, 1815, had, in section 4, pronounced, that the
attributes of the representatives of the land are to ex-
tend over all subjects of legislation concerning the per-
sonal rights of every member of the state; the Legisla-
ture of the states had confirmed these rights;—and
should we now dispose of man's most important right—
his fatherland and nationality—without listening to the
people or its representatives, amidst the thunder of can-
non mowing down those that oppose such a proceeding?
I protest aaaimst the election, because all bonds of
order and law in the Grand Duchy of Posen are riven
asunder, and because the law is violated not only by the
Poles, Germans, and Jews, but also by the authorities,
supported by 30,000 to 40,000 bayonets.
General V. Pfuel and the highest civil and military
authorities of this province have violated every legiti-
mate authority by proclaiming martial law, whic is
abolished by a supreme Cabinet order, and which re-
moves the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy in certain
cases from their personal judge to the discretion of mili-
tary authorities; they have done so without the pro-
mulgation of a law for the purpose passed in a legiti-
mate manner; they have done it of their own accord,
without full powers, or even the assent of his Majesty
the King or his Ministers, although, by virtue of the
most recent changes in the constitution, even his Ma-
jesty has the power of reintroducing it (martial law)
only with the consent of the representatives of the
nation, since this law comes within the category of ex.
ceptional laws mentioned in section 2 of the decree pro-
mulgated April 6, concerning several fundamental points
of the future Prussian Constitution.
This is not the place for deciding who is the cause of
the present condition of this country, in how far it is to
be attributed to the patriotism of the Poles, to their
long oppression, to the measures of the authorities, to
the prevailing want of confidence in them, aggravated
by the treatment of the Poles and broken promises; to
excesses and abuses on the part of the Poles; to an un-
restrained agitation of such Germans as have left their

German fatherland, and are afraid to lose the open
arena of their egotisticiactivity ;—it is not for us to
decide in how far the measures for the protection of
Germans—to which they are entitled even in a foreign
country—are necessary, and will be so for a longer
period; but, in the present state of this country, to pro-
ceed with elections which are to decide ou the most im-
portant rights of a people, is a measure on the part of
the authorities which puts their relatio❑ to the move-
ment in this country in its proper light—a movement
which has been distorted in the eyes of Germany, dis-
torted even by official accounts, if I may believe the
words of German eye-witnesses, officers and actors in
those event•.

We still have in this province the same authorities
(I do nut speak of highly honourable individual excep.
lions) whose doings the Supreme President Flottwell
has so well described in his well-known report, pub-
lished March 15, 1841 ; we have still the same military
rule and German bureaucracy, which shows itself now

in its most unrestrained a;:d moat barbarous form—
which laid hold of excesses committed by individual
Poles in order to render itself, as a- consequence of its
own measures necessary, and now, fur its own protec-
tion, proceeds to elections, by the results of which it
hopes to justify the previous accounts of its steps.
They proceed with the elections at a time
when everywhere the most respectable Poles—
who have not yet fled their country—if they allow
themselves to be seized, without any legal ground
from pretended precaution, upon a mere suspicion, upon
the denunciation of a Jew, are arrested by the military,
dragged to the fortress, often liberated after a longer or
shorter imprisonment, and often detained; at a time
when Poles, arrested upon a mere suspicion, are mal-
treated and shot by ,the troops during the transport—
when Polish prisoners, escorted by soldiers, are in the
streets of Posen publicly beaten with clubs by Germans
and Jews, excited by members of the so-called German
Committee—at a time when hundreds of arrested and dis-
armed Poles are butchered by the soldiery with bay-
onets or the butt-ends of their muskets—when mansions
and villages are plundered and reduced to ashes—when
the plundering Prussian soldier, after murdering and
chasing away the inhabitants, burns the sick and
wounded Poles in the dwellings which he has
plun-
dered—when I hear German officers and officials ask
each other, with a feeling of horror, whether this bar-
barity of the infuriated, uncivilized Germans—whetber
this bestial desire for murder, which delights in
tor-
menting and exterminating even the conquered enemy,
isinherent in the nature of the German—they proceed
with the elections at a moment when no Pule can show
himself in the streets of Posen without being ill-used
by Jews and Germans; when Poles are disarmed, and
Germans and Jews provided with arms; when Poles
dare no longer to meet in consultation on their affairs,
for fear of being attacked, maltreated, and arrested for
some pretended plot, by Jews, Germans, and soldiers; at
a time when, in a word, the Pole appears to be an outlaw
IN EIS OWN NATIVE LAND.
'these facts are here well known and publicly related;.
I do not doubt their truth, because I know the spirit of
the civil and military authorities in this province, and I
am ready to adduce more circumstantial facts, and bring
forward witnesses, Germans as well as Poles.
I do not believe that these facts, omitted by our au-
thorities in their official reports, were unknown to them,
because I have heard persons, who surround them con-
verse about them.
As a test of the view which the authorities take of

this state, it may suffice to mention, that on inquiring
wheth.-r the prisoners were marked, as I was told by
some Poles, I was informed that. they had one hand and
one ear blackened with some permanent chemical pre-
paration, but by an order cf General V. nut 1, they
had now only one hand dyed.
I think that amidst such unfortunate circumstances,
every upright German ought to abstain from the elec-
tion. tie will, on German soil, among our honest Ger-
man people, insist on his full political rights; but the
rights which he claims for himself, he claims also for
other men and nations. He desires a separation of the
German and Polish nationalities,—unconditional pro-
tection of the Germans settled here; but he does not
desire, in favour of those Germans who have left their
German fatherland, to rob, by immoral means, the Poles
of those rights which are due to them, as the ancient in-
habitants of this soil.

Oberlandesgericht-Assessor in Posen.
Posen, May 19th, 1848.
The ab.:ye protest was sent to the municipality of
Posen with the following note :
Worshipful Magistrate,—At the pi imary assembly of
electors for the, 2,1 .•I:ctoral district of Posen, which
met to-day for the el. coon of an elector, who might
take putt in the choice of a Deputy to the Geralau
National Assembly, I Wa3 going to make a protest
against this election, but it was rejected by the presid-
ing Oeknoude Rath Wendtland, because, by virtue of an
instruction given him by a worshipful magistrate, the
election was to proceed without any discus.ion.
I know but two organs tor exercising political rights,
the Primary General Assembly and the Assembly of
the Representatives of the nation.

In Cie fir-t, where alone every individual has a right
to present himself, I think I ought not to have been re •
fused to make my pretest against a violation of rights.
I therefore pray a worshipful magistrate to insert my
protest, which I have been obliged to make in writing,
among the minutes of the election proceeding of the
2d electoral district, and to communicate the same to the
German National Assembly at Frankfort.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

Padua has capitulated to the Austrians, and Ge-
neral PEPE, who was in command there has fallen
back upon Ferrara. The probability is that ere long
the Austrians will have re-conquered the whole of
the Venetian territory. On this subject the French
Prase says—

" The capture of Vicenza renders the state of the Ve-
netian provinces very precarious and alarming. These
provinces had no regular army to protect them except
that under General Durando, which has just been
obliged to retire for three mouths from the field.
Treviso is only defended by a force of 2,500 volunteers
and a small number of. Pontifical grenadiers. At Piave
de Cadore the brave mountaineers, after a heroic de-
fence, which lasted more than a month, have been com-
pelled by hunger and the want of ammunition to
abandon that important position. The number of the
enemy is increasing on the Isonzo, the Tagliamento,
Livenza, and the Piave, and the Austrians have advanced
posts as far as the Sile. Their forces are distributed in
the following manner:—
At Belluna and Piave de Cadore
At Montt, belluno, Povegliano, Pordenone, Cor-
droipo, and Udine 4,000
From the Livenza to the Isonzo 5,000
At Osopo
Near Palmanova

19,000
" The latter place is closely invested by the Austrians,
and is defended by the brave General Zucchi.

" On the confines of Italy and of Istria, from Cuer-
dale to Gradisca, the frontier is guarded by 15,000 men,
which have between them 18 pieces of cannon. It is
impossible that, deprived as she is of sufficient force,
Venice can withstand the Austrian forces whenever
they direct themselves en masse against any point as
they have done at Vicenza.
"It has been stated that Charles Albert was to have
attacked Verona on the morning of the 14th. The
Italia del Popolo of the 15th announces, in a second edi-
tion, that the Piedmontese having learnt that Radetzky
had re-entered the place at the heed of 14,000 men, had
given up the idea of the attack, and had resumed their
former quarters at Valeggio. The heights of Rivoli
are still occupied by a Piedmontese regiment.
" M. Vice nzo Ricci announced in the Chamber of De-
puties of Piedmont, in the sitting of the 15th, the offi-
cial union of Lombardy to Piedmont, and at the same
time communicated the convention which was entered
into on the 13th, between the Sardinian Government
and the Provisional Government of Lombardy.
" The principal bases of this convention are the fol-
lowing:—ln one month after the union an electoral law
shall be published, according to which the deputies to
compose the Constituent Assembly shall be elected, and
which will assemble at the latest on the Ist November
next. The electoral law has for its bases universal suf-
frage and vote by ballot. There is to be one deputy for
every 25,000 inhabitants. Every citizen of 21 years of
age is to be an elector. Until the meeting of the Con-
stituent Assembly the people of Lombardy are to pre-
serve the political guarantees which they now enjoy—
liberty of the press, right of association, and the Nation!
Guard.

" From the present time:t he executive power is in the
hands of the King, who cannot, however, enter ints any
political or commercial treaty without previously refer-
ring it to a special committee, composed of the members
of the Provisional Government of Lombardy."
By the Turin journals we learn that in the
Chamber of Deputies of Turin, on the 15th, a Bill
was presented for authorising an extraordinary levy
of 6,000 men, to replace the 12,000 who have en-
gaged not to combat for three months in consequence
of the treaty of Vicenza. The bulletin of the 15th,
published by the Provisional Government of Lom-
bardy, says—
The Italian army cannot yet be in a position to
attack Verona. and the Piedmontese divisions main-
tained the line of their positions from Goito to Pas-
trengo. The heights of Rivoli, the Mont, della Co-
rona, and the passage from the Adige to Dula are
occupied by the Italians. It is said that the Austrian
troops which have entered Verona with Marshal
Radetzkv amount to 14,000 men. It is announced from
Rocca d'Anfo, where the Lombard troops were, that in
the night of the 12th the enemy abandoned the posi-
tions which he occupied to beyond the bridge of Caffaro.
A revolution, it was said, broke out at Trent at the mo-
ment at which the Austrians fell back on it. The tocsin
was heard at Condino, Darso, and in the neighbouring
villages of the Italian Tyrol."
By the latest accounts received from the seat of
war, it appears that the head-quarters of the Pied-
montese army was on the 16th at Alpo, on the Mincio,
to which it had been obliged to retreat on learning
that Vicenza had fallen into the hands of the Aus-
trians.

COMMEMORATION OF PURCELL
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning, at ten o'clock, a grand sacred musical
performance took place in the new choir of Westminster
Abbey, in commemoration of that great musical com-
poser, Purcell, when some of his best and most effective
sacred compositions were executed in a style worthy
their great master, by a choir most effective in every
part, and one seldom brought together, even within the
walls of Westminster Abbey. The exertions of the
present Dean to repair the errors, or the omissions of his
predecessors, are already well known to our readers.
He has completely remodelled the whole of the
choir of this splendid building, and made it in perfect
keeling with the rest of the Abbey ; but not satisfied
with this, he has shown his determination that the choir
shall be devoted to the production of some of our most
able sacred composers, and an earnest of that determi-
nation may be found in the selections or this day. The
Te Deum and the Jubilee were given with great
pathos and depth of feeling ; and the anthems, " Out
of the Deep," " 0 Lord God of Hosts;" and
" 0 give thanks," were performed in a manner
worthy their great beauty and the excellency
of their musical compositio❑ by Purcell. In addition to
the usual choir, several most eminent choristers %% ere in
attendance, and added greatly, by their excellent ex-
ecution of some of the most difficult solos, to the beauty
and effectiveness of the performance. The Queen's
chorister boys were aiso in attendauce, attired in their
rich scarlet dresses. The Abbey was crowded in every
part, and amongst the most prominent personages pre-
sent we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Bishop of Gloucester, Sir George Clarke,
the Dean of Hereford (Dr. Mereweather). Sir C. Thorn-
ton, and Canons the Rev. J. Jarning and Dr. Words-
worth.

THE ASSAULT ox BOARD THE ERA.—J. Green
and J. Robinson, two of the crew of the Era steam-
boat, were indicted at the Middlesex Sessions for
assaulting Mr. Waugh, solicitor, of Great James street,
Bediord-row, on board that vessel. The facts of this case
were reported in the police intelligence on Tuesday.
The defendants pleaded guilty, and through their coun-
sel, Mr. Payne, expressed great contrition for their mis-
conduct. Mr. Waugh said he considered this case one
of importance to the public, and he had brought it for.
ward on public grounds. He did not press for any pu-
nishment but such as the court might think proper for
the protection of the public traveling by steam-boats.
Mr. Sergeant Adams sentenced each of the prisoners to
14 days' imprisonment.
DEATH OF LADY ELIZABETH MONCRIRFFE.—
This lady died on Saturday last at her residence in
Chapel-street, from the effects of the injuries she sus-
tained by having accidentally caught fire. The deceased
was born the 6th of September, 1769, and was second
daughter of George, eighth Earl of Dalhousie, therefore
aunt of the Governor-General of. India. She married
13th of April, 1786, Sir Thomas Moticrieff:, Bart., and
was mother of the late, and grandmother of the present
Baronet.—Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Bed-
ford on the body of Lady Elizabeth Moncreiffe, aged
79, who lost her life by her clothes accidentally taking
fire. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death."
A Mon ORATOR.—Mr. John Abraham Bell, a
popular mob orator at Manchester, who has repeatedly
d declared his willingness to die for his country and th©
charter, has absconded, leaving his wit° and children
chargeable to the parish.—. Leeds Mercury.

This was an action of debt brought by the
the well-known printer and publisher of Fleet-street,
recover from the defendant, an attorney-at-law, the
of 1041., for printing the Sehainel newspaper. The `"ior
:inel was started in 1846 by Mr. Jonathan Duncan, or
the purpose of advocating a change in the mare/floe
laws ; and after it had been in existence three or.
weeks, the plaintiff was appointed printer. Fitifil

the payment of his accounts, the plaintiff threatenne
abandon the printing of the paper, unless he had toy
guarantee that his bills would be more panel gip,

Duncan and Mr. Luke James Hansard for the genera,

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
AZest 5,000 bales, all to the trade, and nearly all
aideri°llll the prices of this description ranging from
lip to 3kd. per lb. Railway shares were dull, and very
Le was done, although holders asked previous rates.
The sales of grain in the markets which regulate the
o,4lltiee were last week 99,532 qrs. of Wheat, 3,568 qrs.

Calico rather more business in some articles of produce,
from Germany the letters received this week are
ftl 41:pnely unfavourable. A large firm at Altona, that
„
'll`4arleman, had suspended. They were in the timber
e, but it is apprehended that all branches will suffer
potrelY, and that other houses must succumb to the
Weal crisis. The stagnation of business throughout
4teßrlually, notwithstanding the accumulation of capital
enaburgh and other places, is unprecedented.

letters by the steamer from America have been
bored, and confirm the statement of the papers that
lie treaty of peace has been ratified with Mexico. The
4terican markets were not brisk, as the supplies of
reduce were being pressed forward rather freely.

BANQUET AT TER TRINITY HOUSE TO PIER MA-
JESTY'S MINISTERS, &C.—The Master of the Hon. Tri-
nity Corporation, his Grace the Duke of Wellington,
and the Elder Brethren, gave a magnificent entertain-
ment at the Trinity House, Tower-bill, last evening. A
more brilliant assemblage has not been seen at the Tri-
nity House since the entertainment given to his Royal
Highness Prince Albert on his becoming one of the
brethren. With military precision, at seven o'clock his
Grace led the way into the banqueting-hall, and in the
capacity of Master of the Corporation presided. All the
noblemen present who were brethren were attired in
the dress of the order. Among the guests were Sir
Robert Peel, the Earl of Auckland, Earl Grey, Lord
Morpeth, Marquis Camden, Marquis of Douro, Earl of

MONEY- MAIMET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 20 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.65; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.57-i, it follows that gold is 0.29 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 439 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.12 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.14
it follows that gold is 0.62 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London.

ENGLAND AND SPAIN.
TO THE EDITOR Or THE SUN.

Sia,—ln the correspondence which has reccntly
taken place between Lord Palmerston and Senor
Isturitz, his Lordship admits that the position
of British ambassadors at Madrid is injuriously
affected, and their influence compromised, by the
frequent reclamations they are under the necesity
of making in reference to the claims of British sub-
jects on the Spanish Government. That Government
acknowledges the justice of those claims as well as the
sacred obligation it is under to satisfy them, and for
years past has been repeatedly promising to do so.
Those promises, however, yet remain unfulfilled; and
why then, I would ask, does our Government not put an
end to these evils, by taking possession of the Spanish
colonies, and retaining them until Spain shall think fit
to fulfil the obligations she has contracted with British
subjects ? Does it refrain from so acting for the pur-
pose of disproving the allegations of the Spanish Minis-
ters, that England was actuated by selfish motives in
rendering assistance to Spain? Even this end will not
be obtained by its forbearance, for those Ministers,
through their organs of the press in Madrid, boast that
England is now too powerless and her Government too
pusillanimous to dare to assume a hostile attitude to-
wards them. Let our own Government, then, concede
to Spain the right to boast she is under no obligation
for the assistance she received from us, at her own urgent
entreaties; but let it now at least consult British in-
terests by taking efficacious measures to compel Spain to
fulfil the obligations she contracted with England and
with British subjects. By adopting this course, it will
not only perform an act of justice towards thousands,
who have a just claim to its protection, but our own
suffering colonists would thereby be relieved, the horrors
of Spanish colonial slavery be mitigated, and a fatal
blow would be struck at the iniquitous and diabolical
slave trade.—l am, bir, your obedient servant,
AN ENGLISHMAN.
