GERMAN PAPERS.

PRUSSIA, APRIL 11.--A courier has brought us from
Paris the news that the debates on the law against as-
sociations are closed, and that it has been passed without
amendments. We have heard this with pleasure, and
hope now that the French Government will become more
independent, and not be so subject as hitherto to the in-
fluence of party spirit. The apprehensions expressed by
the Opposition, that reaction would take place if the law
were adopted without alteration, are felt as little here as
at Paris, and the French Government is considered as act-
ing with great propriety in not taking notice of such par-
liamentary demonstrations, but directly pursuing its course
to attain the object aimed at. It is hoped that France,
after so many years of fermentation, will be at length
calm, and enjoy the fruits of peace, which it has been so
long endeavouring to reap, and which it could never obtain
as long as there existed in the minds of society a distinct
association, full of the most rancorous feelings towards the
existing order of things. Now that it will be freed from
these rank weeds, the time seems to be come when not
only the internal relations of the French nation may be
consolidated, but those with other states secured. To effect
this, a frank conduct, calculated to inspire confidence, is
required. The many discrepancies produced by national
vanity, former military glory, egotism, and the desire
to be at the head of European civilization, must
be renounced, and it must be made manifest
that the friendly relations between governments are
not a vain sound. So long as the ill-disposed think
they can fish in troubled waters, so long as the divine words
What you would not that others would do unto you, that
do ye not unto them," are not the motto of governments ;
there will be a want of that confidence, which is the sole
foundation of their peace and prosperity. Consider only
the confusion in Switzerland, where a few hundred Poles
oppose the will of Europe, and refuse to withdraw, because
they believe themselves supported by the equivocal policy
of France, and do not fear to be compelled, so
long as there is reluctance at . Paris, to employ
the means which can alone fulfil the wish of Swit-
zerland to be rid of such troublesome guests. The
real evil under Miich the French Government labours is,
that it is so seldom able to find Means to make its wishes
harmonize with its actions. Let it be resolute in doing
this, and the mistrust, the restraint which it must feel in
its foreign relations must cease.

CASSEL, APRIL 9.—The Cassel Gazette says that
among the many claims connected with the former king-
doms of Westphalia, Dr. P. W. Schreiber has at length
succeeded in getting one part of those claims acknowledged.
Persons in the electorate of Hesse, formerly in the service
of the State, now receive back the sums they at that time
gave as security, with the interest ; those who made their
deposits in Westphalian Stock have not been so fortunate,
but there is reason to believe that their claims will likewise
be attended to. We hear that Dr. Schreiber has been
urged by his numerous employers to enforce before the
Congress of Ministers at Vienna the claims connected with
the kingdom of Westphalia.—Frankfort Papers, April 12.
