)ther lately established papers in this city, of
vhich the proprietors are now making a consi-
lerable profit.
In the mean time the absolute Cabinets do
lot neglect the means of putting a period to this,
-o them most obnoxious, evil. Count Ilunch-
Bellinghausen, the Austrian Minister at and
President of the Diet, whom all the little poten-
tates, ministers, and agents here regard with a
deference equalled only by the subservient court
he himself pays to Prince Metternich, to whose
friend and confidential adviser (M. Gentz) he
pays 12,000 florins paper money, in order to
insure the good-will and private correspondence
of the latter with the absolute Minister, is now
it Vienna concerting with the Cabinet the means
of uprooting it. To aid in this scheme the
Bavarian Field-Martial Wrede lately undertook
& journey from Munich to Stutgard for the pur-
pose of obtaining the assent of the Government
of Wurtemberg, and from thence he has gone to
Vienna to arrange fully the scheme with the
prime movers.

To keep the Ministers of the other powers at
the diet in employment, and also to whet their rage,
the Press of the constitutional states is now di-
vided into five sections, and five of the Minis-
ters Plenipotentiary are appointed to examine
daily the journals published in those districts,
and to report thereon. It is most amusing to
see those diplomatic characters, who, as the
world supposes, are daily involved in serious de-
liberation on the fate of empires, each in his
house with a red-lead pencil in his hand, and
spectacles properly adjusted, conning over and
marking punctiliously the passages of the journals
especially under his j urisdiction. They meet, or are
at least supposed to meet, daily, to compare their
notes, and to report progress; and, as I am assured,
no popular assembly ever made such a clamour
agains usurpation and tyranny—no theologicians
have lifted their eyes and hands to heaven to
implore protection, and to call down vengeance
on sinners, than do those wise men of the
Diet on the delinquencies of the Press. These
five envoys are called the committee of, and
against the Press, and as their names may be
interesting, I will state them.
The President of the Committee, during the
absence of the Count Munch-Bellinghausen,
however, is-
1. The Baron de Manteuffel, Envoy from Saxony.
2. The Baron Marschall de Biberstein, Envoy from
Nassau.

3. The Baron de Blittersdorff, Envoy from Baden.
4. The Baron de Pee!dila, Envoy from Holstein.
5. M. de Nagler, Envoy from Prussia.
The particular districts allotted to each are
said to be as follows :—No. 1, reads and revises
the Journals of Hesse ; No. 2, has to exercise
the same duties over those of Baden ; No. 3,
has those of Wurtemberg ; No. 4, has those of
Bavaria ; and No. 5, has the revisal of those of
the free cities, &c. This list—the exact distri-
bution may sometimes vary—is correct in the
general view. It struck me with surprise to find
the name of the Envoy from Baden inserted
amongst those of a Committee opposed to the
freedom of the Press ; but upon inquiry I found
that he is one of the most violent absolutists of
the Confederation, and that such are the powerful
intrigues of the absolutists that the Grand Duke
does not dare to recall him.
The scheme of the Cabinets of Vienna and
Berlin is described as being to obtain from the
Diet an authorization in the name of the whole
Confederation of Germany, to renew and to
aggravate the decree of the Congress of Carlsbad
against the two Liberal Constitutions of the
minor confederated States,—against the liberty of
the Press, and against individual liberties also.
This scheme, which is one that none but the
most infatuated absolutists could conceive, will,
if attempted, succeed in throwing Germany into
a revolution. It is by some conjectured to be
but one movement of the plan conceived by the
coalition for the subjugation of the whole ; for as
Austria and Prussia possess armies far more
numerous than all the minor states together, the
Diet must, in support of its orders, commission
revolted taendd state,th e littleand

Kings and petty Princes who now act as sove-
reigns will become mediatised, as were the smallest
Princes in 1814 and 1815.

The ordinary days of the assembling of the
Diet are Thursday in each week, but nothing
effective can b e done until the return of the
President, of which fact, as very soon to occur,
an announcement is almost daily made in the
papers in order to amuse those who believe the
Diet capable ofdoing any benefit to the country.
The Count de Buol Schauenstein, Ambassa-
dor from the Austrian Cabinet to the Courts of
Baden and Hesse Darmstadt, has lately per-
formed 'a most important task. By the direc-
tions of his Government, he presented a note
from Austria to the Grand Duke of Baden, in
which the latter is required, even under the
threat of being ousted from his sovereignty, to
repeal the unlimited license granted to the
Press. The Duke, a weak man, and who is
also by some regarded as rather partial to ab-
solute principles, is puzzled : his popularity is
at stake, and therefore it is thought that he will
endeavour to take some sort of middle course,
—that is, to steer between Metternicli's will and
his people's wishes : the negotiations are likely
to embarrass him greatly. The threat held out
against him is founded upon the nature of his
mother's marriage, which was of the sort called
morganatic,—that is, of the left hand. The
Grand Duke, his father, laboured to have his
wife raised to a rank, to equalize their union.
The Emperor of Germany, more than 40 years
ago, conferred on her the title of Countess of
Hochberg, whereby the right of succession was
partly settled on her children. Two of the de-
sendants, by a prior marriage of the Grand
Duke, Charles Frederick, father of the actual
Duke, have since succeeded to the monarchy,
and died without issue. The succession
devolved on the 30th of March, 1830,
to the present Grand Duke Leopold,
and he has had his claims examined, revised, and
guaranteed, by the Diet, much to the dissatis-
faction of the King of Bavaria, who lays claim
to a certain part of the ancient Palatinate, now
belonging to Baden, in which a sort of move-
ment in favour of Bavaria was some time ago
effected. This portion of the Palatinate would
be useful to Bavaria, as affording a passage to
the Rhenish provinces. The Members of the
Diet, however, by a proper instrument, to which
Austria and I'russia have assented, have con-
firmed the rights of the actual Grand Duke ; but
as the liberty pf the press annoys them, they now
