Withdrawal of Prussia frim O'arint'
Confederation, *ee,
• -
FRANKFOR
The following is the text of the declitiony
the Prussian representative at the Federal Diet,
after the adoption of the Austrian motion for the
mobilisation of the Federal army :
"Notwithstanding that the envoy had protested
in the name of his Government against all discus-
sion of the Austrian motion, the Federal Assembly
has nevertheless proceeded to vote its adoption.
The envoy has now to fulfil the serious duty of
acquainting the Diet with the resolution his Go-
vernwent, after this vote, considers incumbent upon
it in support of the rights and interests of the Prus-
sian monarchy and its position in Germany.
" It is the firm e3nviction of the King's Govern-
ment that the act of introducing the motion brought
in by the Austrian Government is of itself indubi-
tably and plainly opposed to the Federal Constitu-
tion, and must therefore he, considered by Prussia

as a breach of the Confederation. Federal law

settled forms and conditions are prescribed. The-i
setting in motion of a Federal army against a mem-
ber of the Confederation is as foreign to the Fede-
ral Constitution as every interference of the Diet
against a Federal Government is opposed to the
rules of the execution procedure. Thrtasition of
Austria in Holstein is in especial not placed under
the protection of the Federal treaties, and his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Austria cannot be considered
as the member of the Diet for the Duchy
of Holstein: For these reasons the King's Go-
vernment has refrained from in any way en-
tering upon the actual discussion of the
motion, although it would have been easy to repel
the reproach of a breach of the peace directed
against Prussia, and to cast it back upon Austria.
The King's Cabinet has rather considered that the
only legal and admissible procedure was for the Diet
to reject the motion from the first on account of its
illegal character. Looking to the Federal ties which
have hitherto existed, the King's Government can
only most deeply regret that this formal demand on
its part has not been complied with by its Federal
allies.

"For three months the most powerful member of
the Confederation has been arming against Prussia
for the purpose of self redress, in contravention of
the Federal constitution ; and this circumstance has
deeply shaken the confidence of Prussia in the pro-
tection the Confederation has guaranteed to each of
its members.

" The appeals of the King's Government to the
efficiency of the Confederation and its members for
the protection of Prussia against arbitrary attack
from Austria having only resulted in armaments of
other Federal Governments, without explanation as

to their object, the King's Government could not

but regard its safety at home and abroad—which,
according to Art. 2 of the Federal Pact, is the main
object of the Confederation—as already in the
highest degree endangered. The illegal motion of
Austria, and its no doubt pre-arranged adoption by
a portion of the Confederate States, has only con-
firmed and strengthened this view of the King's
Government.

" The King's Cabinet considers the breach of the
Confederation as complete by the declaration of
war—impossible according to Federal law against a
member of the Confederation-:--which has resulted
from the motion of Austria and the votes of those
Governments which have associated themselves
therewith. In the name and by the order of his
Majesty the King, his Most gracious master, the
envoy, therefore, hereby declares that Prussia con-
siders the hitherto existing Federal treaty as broken,
and therefore no longer binding, but will, on- the
contrary, regard it and treat it as extinct.
" His Majesty the King will not, however, look
upon the national basis on which the Confederation
has been founded as destroyed by the fact of that
extinction. Prussia, upon the contrary, adheres to
these foundations and to the unity of the German
nation as superior to transitory forms, and regards
iLas an indispensable duty of the German States to
give this latter suitable expression. The King's
Government therefore, on its part, submits the out-
lines of a new union corresponding to the require-
ments of the time, and declares itself ready to con-
clude a ne NV dompact on the old foundations, modified
by such a reform, with those German Governments
which will join with it for that purpose. The envoy
fulfils the orders of his Government by declaring
his functions here at an end.
" The envoy has lastly, in the name and by order
of his Government, to reserve and maintain all its
rights of every kind arising out of the hitherto ex-
isting relations of the Confederation and otherwise
to the property and appurtenances of the Bund.
He is particularly directed to enter a protest against
any application or disposition of Federal moneys
already voted being made without the special con-
sent of his Government."
