would be benefited by its exertions, and that the
clamour raised against the Institution would subside,

RATISIION; 1401,1..11 I..—The dispute which. has
arisen between-the Courts of Munich and Vienna,
sermstothe engross the attention of the Empire, and
to form principal subjeet of the deliberations of

which these deliberations turned, was to -determine

t,College of Princes, until some compensation shad('

, lie party by the partition of these votes, and some..
this established -at least towards 'maintaining an
equiponderance- ,between • the States professing the
two religions.
By virtue, of the above.mentioned decree the
EMPEROR, as Supreme Heed of the- Empire, had in_
terposq his authority, and refused his sandion to
the contested part of the Comicial Resolutione,
while he endeavoured at the same time to con..
vince the States of the justice and equity of the
desired alteration. This last endeavour was repeated,
and the exception of the motives which guided
she EmPEROR's views, renewed in the Rescript of
Hi 3 IMPERIAL. MAJEETY,• of the loth of Novem-
ber.- But these reasons were not sufficient to een_
vince the Courts of the other party, who, persisted
in'asserting -the advsmtage they bad once acquired,
41111 in ;..tegarding the exereise of the Imperial Pre...
rogatiite as -inadmissible in the present ease: It
was in this--sense that the I'Vlinisters of Branden.
burgh,. of Saxony, of Wurremburgh, and of Baden,
have explained themselves in the Sitting of the r+th
of November, but- it is still more worthy of te'..
mark, that the-Catholic Court of Munich has ilia-
forinly supporte'. the pretensions -and the views of
the Protestant Princes : the Eledoral Minister
of Bsvaria required at the Sitting, after having
fully entered into an invearigation of the subjcft,
4, that the Diet should confine itself to the reces
of the Deputation' *of the Empire ; that no al.
terations or additions should be made in what
had been there agreed to and confirmed, concerning
the new votes to be etteblislied, and that u.
durum should be -adopted for the absolute aceom-
plishment.of that ewer." 'The opinion, therefore,
to which the great majority of the States will pro.
bably incline, will be to entreat the EMPEttoR to
withdraw the opposition, or modification which he
proposed, respecting the ratification of the new
Law of- the Empire, as fir as it respens the ar_
rangement of the votes in the College of Princes.—
Meanwhile the Austrian Minister, when delivering
the grounds of his vote at the Diet on Novem.
bet 18, not only repeated the wishes of his Conte,
but proposed, with a view to accomplish them,
the creation of several new Catholic votes. Ile
asked six for Austria alone ; one for the Teutonic:
Wee, and one for the Order of Sr. John of jeru.
Wein, for the Eleftor Arch Chaocellor, for the
Princess LATOUR and SAX Is, SA I. 14.1 SA LM, Foe irEN-
IIRO, and LICHTENSTEIN, and for the Duke DE
CROI. He desired, in fine, the admission into
the College of Princes with one vote, of Count
FUOSII4.BAIigt,L.HAUhIiN, the Princes of COL-
LoRFLIO, Of KIIVINIfULLER, Of METTERNIcIf,
anti Of TRTCRitss-WELDnoURo. These &muds,
which were adopted by the Imperial Minivers,
and by several of the Catholic States, are grounded
upon the injostice of the present CliSiribUtiOn
of
TOM of the Princes agreeably to the new Law of
•the Empire."
