RATISBON, MARC/1 I.— Yesterday the Ger-
manic Diet held an extraordinary Sitting, after the
reading of the Note by which the Ministers of the
Mediating Powers call upon the Diet to give a prompt
Ratification to the labour which is submitted to it.
The discussion was opened on the general Reerrof the
Deputation. The Prussian Minister, NIDE Dock: Z,
voted, for its adoption, In the explanation which
he gave of his vote, he observed, that no regard
ought to be paid to the declaration of His Swedish
MajestT, DUKE Of POM EkAN I A, because that State,
having abandoned the cause of the Country during
the whole course of the War, could have now no
other Objed in view but •to pronounce azains't the
dispositibns of the Treaty of Peace. The Mini'stcr
of Sweden protested against this dnlaration, which
he considered as uncalled for and misplaced, and .so
much the more; as His Swedish Majesty, In his'
.
quality of a State, the. Empire, was vistllled
giving his advice as well as all the other Members•
of the Empire. The same Minutes-then voted for
the adoption of the general Concius.7,72, as at' fiNt
prepared, so far as the Treaty of Westphaliii,, the
fundamental laws of the Empire, and the rights of
the immediate Noblesse of the Empire, ..were Con.
firmed in all their dispositions, and, have not been
changed by the new Candasum.

It is remarkable' that the propositions male by
the two Direaorial Minivers,- nAmely, that of
Mayence in the Eleaoral ,College, and that of
Austria in the College of Princes, d f r : the first,
the Baron EP/lA.l[3lNi demands purely and simply
the ratification. of the Modified General Rites ;
whilst the s::cond, M. DE I,lli rilaito,
to Submit all chat relates to the new organization
of the Diet, the nets votes, their rank, to a
particular deliberation. This-diversity of opinions
tends/still to retard the ratificition of
.the Rptes. It
is even asserted that several Ministers accredited to
the Diet, arc on the point of quitting Ratisben for
some time.
