FRANKFORT.

The Gazette des Postes of Sept. 26th announces the
following list of the Ministry :
tmthhveAEßuscogviluesrteign sovereignty °
" 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 GAGERN and TON BUGLE•
BEN, Members of the National Assembly; for the
Home Department, Messrs. BESSERMANN and VON
WURTH ; Secretary of State for the Department of
Justice, M. IVIDENmAx, 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 Mom. was
then read by Secretary MOIIRING. 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
reckonth eN
assert 7
confidently upon the their prerogative. The Senate of Frankfort had
had no legal right to instigate the calling in of extra
troops. The motion was signed by SCLIAMATH,
BLUM, RUGS, DIETSCII, HOFTBAUER, WEISNER,

- The 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
week, and previous circumstances, had necessarily
delayed the completion of the committee's concept of
Constitution. The chapter on the Imperial Power,
as also that on the extent of the empire, and the sig•
nification of the word empire (reich), would probably
be ready for discussion in a week.
WIGARD would not have the Assembly deceive

itself. There was no chance of these chapters being
ready so soon. He entered into particulars 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 tLet was not answered
by Herr VON SCUMERLING ; 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, SCHAFFRATII, ZIMMERMANN, and VOGT
rising, with several other Members of the Left, the
two former being particularly conspicuous in shaking
their fits at the Minister ; lengthened clamour ; the
President in vain attempting to restore order. Re-
newed cries of " infamous !" SCIIMERLING perfectly
composed. The storm at last subsides.)
SCHMERLING quietly resumed. He had something
else to add.—(Suppressed laughter.) The Ministry
was, nevertheless, of opinion that, taking the Parlia-
mentary usage of 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 VENEDEY
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 fripstion, 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.

The Risorgintento of Turin of the 23d inst., pub.
fishes the following :
"TO THE BRITISH NATION.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF TUE
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!'
" 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
peace on 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
baffled 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 I
" 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
sutler no one else to govern us.

"We have, at last, acquired a will of our own.
Avery day, since that fatal 1814, has found us one
step in advance ; every day stifled a conspiracy,
quelled an insurrectiozi in blool. What of it ? At
..iirst our attempts were scarcely heard of; now the
world's peace is jeopardised by them
" 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 paper- ascribes it to our anxiety to eist
our maccaront 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 no
effort of tyranny will ever have power to stifle it.
The failure of the rash attempts of a few ill.ad'ised
demagogues in the late disturbances, serve to
forth our steadiness of purpose. In
.heart showvand
spirit we are one. The great Mover of Ngtpe
ns
know OUT
nion—has done its work amongst us. We Did even
advantage, and are ready to follow it up.
the whole world conspire against us, we have found
its vulnerable side. The world wishes for peace. It

shall have none so long as
Peace is to ua a war.'
"We are armed yet. 'We are gathered together,
unbroken in spirits. One half of our population
homeless, hopeless. Fire and sword have done their
utmost. We have little more to fear. We are inured
to evil. The world may deny us justice; but we are

sure of our vengeance. 4

Portland is situated.

this morning a special train arrived at the terminus of
the North-Western Railway in Euston-square, whicht
brought the remains of the deceased Lord. The corpse
left We'beck 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 rat!,
way station at Eckington about ten o'clock, and in
an hour the special engine left for London. after.a
brief delay at the terminus the remains of his Lordship
were conveyed to Harcourt House.
The funeral was conducted as privately as r--ilble.

SMITHFIELD.
With the exception of a few Cows from abroad, the
supply of Beasts in to-day's market, which was by no
means extensive, was the refuse of Monday, and of veil
middling quality. The weather being unfavourable for
slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers
small, the
,
Beef trade was excessively dull, at almost nominal
prices. The highest figure for the best Scots was only3s 10d per Sibs. The number of Sheep were on the
decline. On the whole, the demand for that description
of stock was steady at the late depression in value. 111
Lambs a moderate business was transacted, at about last
week's quotations. Calves, the supply of which was
large, were a very dull inquiry, at barely late rates. In
Pigs, very few sales took place. Milch Cows were
heavy at from 131 to 171 each, including their small Calf.
