FRANKFORT, OCT. 28.

The greatest interest is now felt all over Germany re.
specting the solution of the Belgi-Dutch question. While
the puny sovereigns and the petty nobles are afraid of war,
the people in the far greater majority appear to wish for it,
in order that a change may be brought about, and that the
abhorred system of oppression, on which alone their rulers
now rely, may be destroyed. The custom-h,usea will in-
stantly vanish ; trade and the expression of thought will
then become free.
The more one studies the existing state of Germany,
the stronger does the conviction become that the present
order of things is but provisional. Half the divisions now
subsisting have been brought about by the French Empe-
ror, and are contrary to the feelings and prejudices of the
provinces thus cut up to please the fancy of some fa-
vourites. The Congress of Vienna has given a sanction
-o the partition; but every one who examines history, as
sell as the actual position of the country, mast be con-
vinced that the whole fabric will be dissolved during the
tirst war. Hence the apprehensions of war on the
dart of the oppressors, and hence also the wishes of the
oppressed.
While Austria and Prussia have such influence in Eng-
land, when their weak points are not known, they struggle
as far as possible to conceal them also here ; the latter
especially, which has blazoned its military arrangements
is the perfection of such system, now begins to feel
the effects. In Prussia every man is obliged to become
a soldier—that is, to waste the best years of his life
under arms : hence there are crowds of dismissed or
unemployed, or discontented, that know not what
to de. Rumour speaks here of a military conspiracy
that within a few days has broken out in Magdeburg, for
the purpose of putting an end to the Governor, who is
represented as a cruel and vindictive man. Numbers of the
conspirators have escaped. You are already aware of the
discontent of the soldiery in Bavaria and Wurtembere ; if
the spirit of insubordination extends itself among the Prus-
sian troops, the game is lost for the rulers of Germany.
Prussia has at length, after the publication took place in
Bavaria, given an efficient sanction to the ordinances of
the Diet, dated the 28th of Junc.

The efforts of the Diet to subdue the spirit of the
people still continue. In Frankfort, the Senite, an insti-
tution resembling tho Court of Aldermen in London, has
joined the Diet, and is of course at variance with other
classes of the inhabitants. T►:e late elections form a
strong topic of discord. I have already mentioned that
there are three separate bodies, from which the cl o.ca
was to be made—the learned, the commercial, and the
working classes. In the first class, the Senate, to the
astonishment of all sensible men, ordered the police of
the town and of the environs, who bel,ng properly to the
third, to give their votes. The first class by the con•
stitution of the city, consists of the learned men, and of
the higher employes, who must be well instructed, whi'e,
on the late occasion, the Senate actually professed to make
all the watchmen of the town LL.D. The most bitter
mockery is made of this absurd act ; a protest has been
sent in against the election, which must be declared null,
or the whole Constitution will be considered void. Th:
absolutism of the Diet has therefore produced dissatisfac-
tion here.

Arrests have taken place also. A writer, named
Freieisen, has been imprisoned at the instance of
the Austrian Minister at the Diet, for having
translated from some French publications some articles in
which Austria is severely censured. These articles were
published in a brochure called Die Republik, and have
proved so annoying to Austria, that the Minister resident,
Baron Von Handel, who acts a subordinate part to the
pompous President, Munch Bellinghausen, as Secretary to
the Diet, made a formal demand for the arrest and im-
prisonment of the author.

The protests and remonstrances of the people against
the notorious resolutions in various districts have proved
exceeding annoying to the Diet. Some of those docu-
ments have been remitted by the President of the Diet
to the Government of those districts, with orders to have
those who signed them prosecuted for such acts. If
the people have no right to complain, they are bound
to obey. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg has published a
notice to his subjects, that they are not to send in pro-
testations to the Diet under strong penalties. Such is
the nature of that, as well as o' other petty German govern-
ments, that at St. Wendel, one of the towns given to
the Duke "on the continental island," or territory, shaped
out by the Congress of Vienna, near the Saar, in the
Rhenish provinces, some young maidens have been pu-
nished for accompanying some Polish officers out of the
district and for singing songs of freedom in their com•
patsy. In the home districts of Coburg and Meiningen,
the smugglers are so bold that the King of Bavaria has
been forced to form a military cordon against them, as his
custom-house officers were not sufficient to repress their
invasions.

In the Grand Duchy of Nassau, where, as explained in
former letters, the taxes were illegally voted, several of
the Deputies and others have been arrested and sent to a
fortress for refusal to pay them. The wives of some have
old and liberated their husbands. The general discon-
tent is very great. Hence the question
.is asked, if your
unreformed Parliament can legally vote taxes in England ?
The number of emigrants from Bavaria, \Vurtemberg,
Baden, and the Rhenish provinces, who are preparing to
depart next spring to North America, amoun•s now to
20,000 person of property and consideration.

I must now mention a singular circumstance connected
with th;s correspondence. In Germany, where a strict
censorship is exercised, an extract was made of an im-
p etant passage from one of the letters, and in order to ob-
tain for it publicity it was isserted in a negative manner,
as frequently done, and the liainault Gazette " thanked
God" that nothing was known in Germany of the facts
related. Some of the London evening papers took the
stwement of the. Hsinault paper literally, and though ig-
norant of the matter, committed an egregious blunder,
which has here created laughter against them.

A report reached us last evening that Mr.
WasTrott; was seriously indisposed at the residence of his
friend, GEORGE Sam, Esq., of Wivenhoe. We hope
this will prove a temporary consequence only the Hon.
Gentleman's recent exertions.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
M. Pozzo DI BORGO and Marshall the
Duke of TREVISO have arrived at Paris almost at the
same time. The latter was very anxious to get to the
capital before the old Russian diplomatist. So great was
his hurry, that lie left Brussels without paying a visit to
King LEOPOLD.

THE DUKE OF SAXE WEIMAR.---Speakillg
of the Dutch army reminds me that its favourite comman-
der, after the Prince of ORANGE—SAXE WEIMAR, is in
town for a while. He is a model for a Batavian com-
mander. Robustly fat in his figure, his countenance has
a little of the pre:tx chevalier in it as possible, but is re-
markable for its fat, ruddy, and one would be rea.ly to
swear, good humoured character, but for the unprepossess-
ing cold repulsiveness of a pair of large round eyes, which
soon correct the hasty impression of a first glance. He
resembles considerably Mr. —, of your Chancery Bar,
without possessing the broad urbanity which smiles on
that worthy gentleman's well furnished physiognomy. He
s,ems what our sailors would call a tough old fellow, and
would be himself sufficient to maintain a moderate sized
fort, or constitute one side of a square in a field of battle,
hut for manoeuvring a corps d'armde in the face of a Frene!l
Nihrshal, I should apprehend hint to be but indifferently
wall adapted. The metier de la yucrre requires rather
too much levity or light wittedness. He should hove been
an Admiral.—Private Correspondence from the Hatfire.
FLINTY HEARTS.—Some of the Wilted
creditors of the Duke of YORK complain bitterly of the
statue new erecting to a man whose debts remain unpaid.
" We ask," say they, "for bread, and all we get is a stone."
On Wednesday, at the Clonmel Assizes,
Mr. PENNEFATIIER, after a trial of five days, Was foUrd
Guilty on the tirst count, and Not Guilty on the second,
of a lengthy indictment which charged him with conspir-
ing and combining to obstruct the payment an .1 collec-
tion of tithes, &c. Mr. Sines, appeared for the defence.
