FRANKFORT.

The Gazette des Posted of Sept. 2Gth announces the
following list of the Ministry :
Yesterday his Imperial Highness the Vicar of the
Empire nominated definitively—lnterior, M. Von
Schmerling, Member of the National Assembly; Minister
of War, M. Von Peucker, Major-General in the Prus-
sian service; Minister of Justice, M. Robert Mohl, Mem-
ber of the National Assembly; Finance, M. Von Becke-
rath; Commerce, M. Duckwitz, Senator of Bremen."
The department of Foreign Affairs has been con-
fided provisionally to the Minister of the Interior.
The Vicar of the Empire has likewise nominated
Secretaries of the State for the Department of Fo-
reign Affairs, Messrs. VON GAGEEN and VON BUGLE-
BEN, Members of the National Assembly ; for the
Home Department, Messrs. BESSERMANN and Vox
WuRTu ; Secretary of State for the Department of
Justice, M. WIDENMAN, Member of the National
Assembly; Secretary of State for the Department of
Commerce, M. FULLATI.
In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
25th, a long motion for founding an impeachment
against the Ministers SCIIMERLING and MoHL was
then read by Secretary MOHRING. It contained a
running deprecation of the proclamations connected
with the state of seige, the prohibition of the meet-
ing and funeral procession to be held in honour of
the fallen civilians, &c. The Ministers had exceeded
andW EiitsNwEa(Rj's

their prerogative. The Senate of Frankfort had
had no legal right to instigate the calling in of extra
troops. The motion was signed by SCIIAFFRATII,
SIMON (of Triers), and about six other Members f
referred to the Committee of Legislation.
NAMVERCH moved—" The National Assembly
calls upon the Prussian repre •
the Left. ulGtEs' urgency
representatives of the people
of Berlin to remain unshaken in their resolutions
of
the 7th August and 9th September, to continue to
assert the sovereignty of the people, and thereby to
reckon confidently upon
people."

rAhe urgency of the motion was disallowed by a
great majority.
EISENMANN prayed for permission to show the
necessity of the report upon his motion concerning
the relations of Hungary and Austria being laid be-
fore the House within three days.—Not granted.
WESENDONCK moved that when the now pending
primary investigation concerning the participators in
the riots should be over, the parties committed be
tried by jury before the Rhenish Court.
Urgency was disallowed.
SOIRON, in answer to a plaint brought forward by
another Member, replied that the events of the last
also that
week, and previous circumstances, had necessarily
delayed the completion of the committee's concept of
Constitution.

itself. There was no chance of these chapters being
ready so soon.. He entered into pvtieulara connected
with the printing and subsequent revision .by the
Committee. They would scarcely be ready for a
month.

JORDAN not being present, his interpellation as to
what was being done concerning the- ships purchased
in Hamburgh for the German fleet was not answered
by Herr vox SCHMERLING ; but the latter replied to
VENEDEY'S question as to whether the Members of
the Assembly were subject to the restrictions conse-
quent on the state of siege. He said that, as the
National Assembly had previously passed no excep-
tional resolution in favour of the Members of the
Assembly—none, in fact, that gave them privileges
beyond those of other citizens—the Ministry could
only regard them as being, in all judicial matters, on
the same footing with the other inhabitants of Frank-
fort.—(Cry of "infamous !" from VOGT,' great
clamour, SCHAP/MATH, ZIMMERMANN, and VOGT
rising, with several other Members of the Left, the
two former being particularly conspicuous in shaking
their fists at the Minister ; lengthened clamour ; the
President in vain attempting to restore order. Re-
newed cries of "infamous 1" SCHMERLING perfectly
composed. The storm at last subsides.)
SCHMERLING quietly resumed. He bad something
else to add.—(Suppressed laughter.) The Ministry
was, nevertheless, of opinion that, taking the Parlia-
mentary usage f all countries into consideration,
the arrest of a member could only take place with
the acquiescence of the National Assembly.—(Mur-
murs of satisfaction on the Left, and faint cheers on
the Right and Centre.) As to the state of siege
having been protracted after the restoration of peace,
this only arose from a strong conviction on the
part of the Ministry, that it was their great duty
to protect the Assembly.—(Slight dissatisfaction on
the Left.)

VENEDET moved—The National Assembly resolves
to call upon the Imperial Ministry to cancel the
state of siege in Frankfort. He moved also for oral
division on the urgency of his motion.
Here followed a long dispute as to how VENEDEI
meant oral division to be applied. The urgency of
the motion was at last tested by oral division. N oes,
277 ! ayes, 139; rejected, therefore, by a majority of
138.

The discussion of the fundamental rights was then
resumed, and after an unimportant debate, and dis-
putes as to the order of putting the question, almost
equally long, the following motions, forming section
18, were carried :

" Every German has full liberty to give instruction,
or to found establishments of instruction and education,
with a reservation of the stipulations that may afterwards
be made by supplementary resolutions."—Carried.
Ayes, 180 ;noes, 176.

-‘‘ Every German is at full liberty to give instruction,
and found establishments of instruction and education,
provided that he be in a condition to prove his moral and
practical capacity before the authorities of the state."—
Carried.

ITALY.

NORTHERN ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin of the 23d inst., pub
lishes the following :

"TO THE BRITISH NATION.
THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE

ITALIAN CONFEDERACY.
" Britons !—A poet, whose name, dearest to our
hearts, is carved on an obscure tombstone in one of
your church-yards—Ugo Foscolo has said it: " In-
deed, I always find something wicked in an ever-
successful man." Prosperity blinds our judgment
and hardens our heart. We learn to disbelieve the
misery of others, to deny its existence ; or else indis-
criminately to ascribe it to their own imprudence, to
their folly and vice. The words beggar and wretch
have in the language of the wealthy and happy in-
exorably identified misfortune with guilt.
"Nations are taught to be no less sweeping in their
ungenerous conclusions against their brethren.
Government,' you are often told, is always such
as people deserve, such as they make it. No nation
endures thraldom but such as are too base or too
craven to shake it off.' They trace the finger of.
Providence in every work of human iniquity. From
their harbour of refuge they look down on their
tempest-tossed brother and to his outcry make no
answer, save only Help thyself and God will help
thee I'

" This indifference to the sufferings of others, we
would not, 0 ye Britons, attribute to want of feeling
on the part of such of your advisers as are striving to
enlist you in the cause of our enemies. Their very
selfishness has something great and momentous in it.
They would wish you to hurry on to your goal,
heedless of any sound of distress. They wish the
train of civilization to proceed at a terrific rate, even
though thousands and millions be crushed underneath
its wheels. Theirs is the cause of mankind ; whether
we follow or are dragged along with it, gives them no
concern.

"It was even men like these that your fathers trusted
with our destinies in 1814. They also wished for
PeieCe WS any terms. They sacrificed Venice and
Genoa, all the defenceless and helpless ; they pam-
pered the craving of despots, with utter disregard to
the claims of the people.
" Your fathers ' knew not what they were doing:
Designing men practised upon their too eager longing
for rest. There was peace. May the tears and blood
that peace cost us be not on their head !
" But now our destinies are once more matter for
your deliberation. You know us better now. We
have spoken loudly and plainly. Our vows shall
not be misrepresented to you. We shall not be sacri-
ficed.

" God has given us a country of our own, a lan-
guage, a national character. You own island has not
more distinct boundaries than those which separate
us from our neighbours. Our independence and
union was marked out by nature's own works.
" Only, our fathers abused Heaven's gifts, and
their guilt has been visited upon us. Like all
human tribes in ages of darkness, they indulged in
unnatural enmities. But in other lands discord led
to weariness, and prepared the way for that tyranny
which was to force all parties into one bond of unity,
whereas the very energy of our ruthless ancestors
batted all attempts at subjugation, and could only be
reduced by artfully ministering to their jealousies
and perpetuating their feuds.
"The punishment has now reached
farther down
than the third and fourth generation. The wrath of
Heaven is appeased. We are brothers at heart. We
yearn to one another. The curse of Heaven on him
who would put us asunder !
" We come before you, then, ye umpires between
Austria and Italy. We claim Italy as our own birth-
right. We will not answer the Orator (*) who de-
clared before your senate that ' the Austrian Govern-
ment is a blessing to us. Good or bad, we will have
none of it. We will waste no time with those who
contend that we are unfit for self-government. These
are no matters of dispute. Enough that we will
suffer no one else to govern us.
We have, at last, acquired a will of our own.
ayery day, since that fatal 1814, has found us one
step in advance ; every day stifled a conspiracy,
relied an insurrection in blool What of it ? At
first our attempts were scarcely heard of; now the
world's peace is jeopardised by them I
" Our cities have learned to drive the enemy from
their walls. Our youth to confront him on the battle-
field. The last encounter has proved fatal to our
arms, it is true. It would be idle to enumerate the
causes that led to our disasters. The success is
against us, and the world looks no farther. Your
weekly papert ascribes it to our anxiety to east
our viaccaront with a whole skin.' Be it so. Ten
years ago, the very idea of a fight was out of the
question. We have gone so far this time as to
take the field, to keep it as conquerors for four
months. God is great ! The day will come for us
to win it.
" Meanwhile let those who would lead you back
to the policy of 1814 look well to this. To be beaten
is not for us to be vanquished. Every defeat is a
vital lesson to us. Every loss brings us one step
nearer to our goal. Behold ! The sons of every
Italian province have cemented their union with their
blood, on the fields of Lombardy. Notwithstand-
ing the wavering, the defection, of some of
our Princes, we have gone hand-in-hand. Our
voice is raised unanimously, and so loud that

THE FUNERAL of LORD GEORGE,

BE N Is DAY.)
The funeral of this much-lamented nobleman took
place this morning at the old parish church of MOP
lebone, in which the family vault of the noble house of

Portland is situated.
Soon after the arrival of the mail-train from thc north
this morning a special train arrived at the terminus of
the North- Western Railway in Euston-square, which
brought the remains of the deceased Lord. The corpse
left Welbeck Abbey at eight o'clock last evening,
and the inhabitants of the villages through which the
hearse had to pass came out with flambeaux, and other-
wise:
testified their respect. The body reached the mug,
way station at Eckington about ten o'clock, and in half
an hour the special engine left for London. After
brief delay at the terminus the remains of his Lordship
were conveyed to Harcourt House.
The funeral was conducted as privately as possibiLb
To the very numerous applications of the political Menu"
of the deceased to be allowed to send their carriages to
follow in the cortege but one answer was given, natnelh
that the Duke of Portland desired the funeral W be
private, and therefore no carriages could be permitted to
join the procession.
The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Bentinck, - god
Mr. E. J. Denison arrived at Harcourt House at el
early hour, from Welbeck Abbey; also the principal
domestics of his Lordship's establishment.
The Duke of Portland, from his advanced age awl
consequent infirmities, was unavoidably absent.
The Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Canning, end
the Bentinck and other connexions of the Ducal house/
were absent from the urgent desire of the Duke of Port-
land that the solemnity should be strictly private.
About half-past nine o'clock, all the necessary pre-
parations having been completed, the funeral procession
was formed, and left Cavendish-square.
The hearse was drawn by four horses, sumptuousli
caparisoned.
The first mourning coach, drawn by four horses, con'
tained the Marquis of Titchfield, and Lord Henry Ben'
tinck, M.P., brothers, and Mr. E. J. Denison, M.P.
brother-in-law of the deceased.
The second mourning coach, drawn by four horses,
contained the personal attendants of the late Lord,
each coach being escorted on each side by pages.
Next came the private carriage of the Duke of Port-
land which closed the funeral cortege.
The mournful procession pursued its route from
Cavendish-square along Harley-street to Devonshire-
street, thence into High-street to the church. There
were some few hundreds of persons attracted to see the
funeral, and crowds collected at the entrance of the
church.
On reaching the church, the body was received by the
Rev. W. H. Charlton, M.A. curate of St. Mary lebeney
who preceded the body into the interior, when tho coffin
was placed at the west end, under the organ-10nel
The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Bsntiibck,
Mr. E. J. Denison were conducted to a pew on the
south side, and the funeral service was proceed With
by the Rev. Gentleman in a deeply impressive mcnner-
The church was far from crowded. Mr. B. Disraeli,
M.P., was present among the congregation.
Shortly before eleven o'clock the mourners and other!
engaged in the mournful ceremony left the church, se
u
everything resumed its customary quietude.
The coffin was shortly afterwards consigned to its final
resting place.
