RATISBON, JAN. 2.--. The Austrian Envoy to the
Diet, .and the Direetorial Minister, M. FANNIN-
, star, have transmitted to the Diet an important pro_
position relative to the future composition of the Col-
- lege of Princes. In order to re-establish in that As-
, sembly the equality of Religion, of which the prin.
cipk would no longer exist, if the dispositions of
the Plan of Indemnities were striElly conformed
to, it demands that the suffrages to be given in the
College of Princes should be divided, so as that
there should be seventy Catholic Votes, and sixty-
eight Protestant Votes.
It is foreseen that this proposal will experience
touch opposition on the Pare of the Court of Berlin,
end of all those States which form the party-known
by the denomination of the Prussian Party, because
it *ill tend 'to augment the influence of Austria,
atid to diminish that of Prussia. This business
cannot fail to giite'rise to an important discussion.

.112EttieijAN. 17.--The Letters from Paris, which
announted to us the principal dispositions of our
TleW,Cpnititutions, contain the following details of
tiltlabours of which they are the result. The pre.
Pantion of them was divided between the Senators
Dttusurttsits and RCIDERER. The first was
Charged with the Democratic Cantons, and the' second
with those which were once Aristocratics. Since the
toth of becember the two Commissioners have he.

quently convoked the different Cantonal Deputations,
in order todiscuss with them the principles of their
Constitutiorts.• The Senator DESMELTNIERS, took
the -result of these disctissions for the basis of his
labour. He adopted almost without modification, the
ProjeCti of the Deputies of Leman and Argovia. It
is- hought that the Popular Assernbliel (Landsge.
mein) of the Democratic Cantons will only be charg-
ed with certain Eleflions, and in fart no Deputy of
these Cantons will demand the absolute re.establish-
tmentofthe ancient authority of these Establishments.
The' same letters inforth us, that two Reports
bate been communicated to the Helvetic Can-
Vat, had been, it is said, presented to
the' First. Consul, respening the organization of
the seven ci.drvant Aristocratic Cantons of Zurich,
Soledie, Fr;lourg, Bath, Lucerne, and
