FRANKFORT.

At the sitting of the German Parliament of the
31A ult.,

Biederman asked the Imperial Ministry what
it intended to do with reference to a declaration
made by the Saxon Ministry, and approved by the
Saxon Assembly, to the effect that it had determined
to reconsider the code of constitution, as definitively
adopted by the Frankfort Assembly, before granting
it is approval ?
Mohl (the Minister) replied, that he had dispatched
a note to the Government of Saxony, requesting an
authentic protocol of the sitting in which the said
determination was expressed and approved. More
than this he could not at present do.
Hopken asked the Imperial Ministry what steps it
had taken to carry out resolutions passed by the Na-
tional Assembly many weeks ago, to the effect that
Limburg formed no integral part of the kingdom of
Holland; and that the portion of the Dutch debt to
he defrayed by Limburg should be arranged by the
Central Power ? Further, what energetic measures
did the Imperial Ministry propose taking to prevent
the incorporation of Limburg with Holland, as lately
proclaimed in the new Dutch fundamental code of
rights ? And how did the Ministry intend to protect
German interests in general in Limburg ? The an-
swer was deferred.
Forzter moved—"In consideration that it is in-
cumbent on every Ministry to give a sketch of its
principles —as the present Ministry has promised so
to do—and as this promise has not been kept, the
National Assembly resolves that the Imperial 111i-
idstry be called upon to give a distinct statement of
its views and principles in the shortest possible time."
Urgency negatived.
The following sections of the scheme of constitu-
tion were then d'sposed of:—
" Art. 3, sec. 6. The individu 11 German States main-
tain their independence, so far as the same is not limited
by the Imperial constitution: they have all state digni-
ties and rights which are not expressly transferred to
the Imperial pwer."—Carried, with au understanding
insisted upon by Rriss,ler, that this motion in no wise
prejudic.i the question of med!atiza?ion.
" Part IL—Art. 1, sec. 7. rho Imperial power exclu-
sively has the international representation of Germany
and the individual German states in relation to foreign
hrls. The Imperial power appoints
ambassadors and
consuls. It conducts the diplomatic intercourse, con-
cludes alliances and treaties with foreign lands, espe-
cially the conventions of commerce and navigation, as
also those of extradition. It arranges all international
affairs."—Carried unanimously.
" Sec. 8. Tho individual German Governments have
not the right of receiving or maintaining permanent
atnbassadors."—Carried, the clause—with the excep-
tion of their plenipotentiaries at the court of the
supreme head of the empire—being detached and re-
jected.
"Sea. 9, The individual German Governments are
authorised to conclude treaties with other German Go-
vernments."—Carried without discussion.
" Their authority to conclude treaties with non-
German Governments is limited to matters of private
right, neighbourly intercourse, and police."—Carried
without discussion.
" Sec. 10. All treaties that do not refer to matters
of purely private right concluded between a German
Government and another German or non-German
Government are to be laid before the Imperial power for
inspection, and, so far as they chance to bear upon Im-
perial interests, for confirmation."—Carried unani-
mously without discussion.
The following official proclamation has been issued
by command of the Regent of the Empire :
" His Imperial Highness the Archduke Regent of the
Empire, since his accession to the central power, and
especially in reference to some measures adopted by him,
has received such innumerable addresses from entire
provinces, cities, communities, societies, and individual .
persons, that is impossible to give a distinct reply to
each; and this was reserved fur those only which called
for it by some special reasons.

" His Imperial Highness, however, feels it incumbent
upon him to express his warmest thanks for the senti-
ments therein expressed by the senders, iln,l has com-
missioned the undersigned Minister of the empire to mak•
the same publicly known in the name of his Imperial
Highness.
" THE MINISTER OF THE DIET OF THE INTERIOR.
