A letter from Munich of the 30th ult. says:—

which proposes open courts and verbal pleading; a jury to be
composed of military men."

The Wiener Zeitung publishes the Imperial ordon-

tical administrative authorities in the kingdoms of Lom-
bardy and Venice. According to this arrangement the
territories of Lombardy and Venice are distinct.
The second Chamber of Saxony, on the 30th ult.,
discussed the extraordinary state budget relative to the
military assistance given by Prussia. The Saxon Go-
vernment has come to a compromise with the Prussians
to pay that Government the sum of 100,000 marks,
instead of 200,000 marks, as demanded, for the assist-
ance rendered by the Prussian troops in Saxony in
1840.

The Commission advised the Chambers to vote the
budget, but as the Prussian Government refused to pay
for the quartering of the Prussian troops while in
Saxony, the additional sum of 90,113 marks was also
called for. The Chambers unanimously voted both
these sums;, but several very pa, riotic speeches were
made, declaring that the tranquillity of Saxony was re-
stored not by Prussia; but by her native troops.

great powers, in the name of the German Confederation,
and pursuant to the resolution of the States of the 11th
January last, the Stadtholderate has arranged the transfer
of the Government confided to it by the German Central

test are to be accomplished by peaceful means.
" The German Confederation will protect the rights
and interests of the country, and the ancient customary
relations between Holstein and Schleswig, and after de-
termining such relations return the country into the
hands of our lawful ruler. It is just this end for which
we have striven from the commencement of this contest.

" People of Schleswig-Holstein,—The Stadhoidera;
thanks you for having stood truly and faithfully by it
in good and evil days; for having preserved your repu-
tation for the observance of law and order up to this
very day. Preserve it further; aid the peaceable settle-
ment; pay thenceforth willing obedience to the appointed
government authority.
" God, who protects the right, does not suffer true
faith to be put to shame. He will in the end bring the
cause of our dear country to a happy issue.
