FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

BELGIUM.
CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY.

BRUSSELS, MAY 22.—The Courrier Belge says :
"We are assured that M. FRERE CREAN will not
leave the Cabinet, and that the only change which
will take place there is the withdrawal of M.
VEYDT."

In their meeting of Friday, the Diet adopted a
very important resolution, for the purpose of estab-
lishing a perfect similarity in all the customs and
other duties affecting trade and manufactures in Ger-
many ; and in order that there might be amongst all
the German states but one uniform system of taxa-
tion, they proposed that applications may be made to
the following states :—To Austria, to Prussia, and
the Zollverein states, to Hanover, and the states that
have united in its system; to the Duchy of Holstein,
the two Duchies of blecklenburg, and to the Free
Hansa states, Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh. The
object of the applications to these different powers is
to send to Frankfort men who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the subjects of trade, customs, and
taxation, in order that, in accordance with their sug-
gestion, one uniform system of customs taxes may be
adopted for the entire of Germany.
HBRIt STARNIER, the representative of Frankfort,
who signed the protocol of the 4th of May, the
publication of which has given rise to riots through-
out Germany, had addressed the following letter to
his constituents, explanatory of the degree of import-
ance which is to be attached to that protocol :
" A great number of persons have attached to the
separate protocol of the 4th of this month much more
importance than those who affixed their signatures to it;
and as it has given rise to much uneasiness, I feel myself
compelled to address a few words to my fellow-citizens
upon the tenor and the object of that document.
" The duty imposed upon the Diet as well as on the
seventeen delegates who have been attached to it, as
bearing upon the National Assembly, consisted, as I
conceive, in making every due preparation for the pur-
pose of more completely attaining the main object aimed
at in the National Assembly, and that is, the creation
of a Germany which might be formidable abroad, united
at home—constituting with its various nationalities a
closely combined Federal State.
" Consequently, it became the duty of the seventeen
confidential men annexed to the Diet, to construct a
fundamental law for the empire. It was the duty of the
Diet, and especially of the commission (the commission
of revision) nominated by it, to ascertain precisely how
far that which was projected corresponded with the views
of the different states.
" The question of knowing if the Constituent Assem-
bly would accept this project for the purpose of making
it the basis of
.their discussions had to be ascertained;
and, at all events, the said project was a preparatory
labour, which was to be performed by the seventeen
confidential men.
" It was not until the 17th April that the seventeen
delegates annexed to the Diet, submitted to the latter
the project of the fundamental law which bad been
constructed by them. It was then impossible to know
or to discuss, up to the time of opening the Constituent
Assembly, the views of the different Governments as to
this project.
" In this state of things the commission of revision not
being able to complete a work which could correspond
with the nature of the task imposed upon them, sub-
s mitted to the Diet, on the 4th of this month, in place9f
a regular report, a simple memorandum—that is, the
in-
dividual labour of one of its own members ; and, in

doing so, calling attention to the fact, that it contained, "The Roman Government which has to coraphon,
in part at least, remarks and suggestions which deserved the violence exercised against its merchant ships by tne

fellow-citizens I shall find appreciated, with that impar-

myself I may declare that I never yet have yielded to
any of my fellow-citizens in the German feeling—in a
perfect devotion to the honour and the fidelity of our
native city, as well as of our great German country."
