GERNIANY.—HANOVER, AuGusT 24.

.44-01;PRESS OF THE STATES OF lIANO-
VER TO KING WILLIAM.
By the letter of the King's Cabinet Minister of the 16th
ult., the Stites of Hanover have been made acquainted
with the resolutions come to by the illustrious Germanic
Diet at Frankfort, on the 28th June, and regret extremely
that such events have taken place as to require resolutions
of such paramount importance. The Stites are aware of
the necessity of union throughout Germany, and the strict
execution of the fundamental laws of the Confederation,
enacted for the preservation of security at home and
abroad; but they are likewise convinced that that object
tan only be attained by preserving the independence and
inviolability of the different States of the Confederation,
which are also guaranteed by the fundamental compact :
both these points can only be secured by the strict execu-
tion of the fundamental laws. The States agree that it is
not to them, but to the illustrious Diet, that belongs the
legal interpretaion of federal laws. Nevertheless, being
called together to watch over the constitution, it was their
duty to examine the sense and meaning of the above-men-
tioned resolutions of the federal Diet. The more that they
hear upon the representative States, the more the illustrious
princes of Germany themselves attest that the fundamental
laws of the Confederation are sufficient, and that the
resolutions of the 28th of June are in conformity with
them, the more the States of Hanover are convinced that
the resolutions can never be interpreted contrary to them.
Therefore the States of Hanover consider themselves called
upon to address to the King's Cabinet Minister the follow-
Mg observations in answer to hie communication of the
16th ult. The representative constitutions actually in
vigour are guaranteed by the fundamental laws of the
Confederation from all changes except such as have been
effec'ed by constitutional means; and as the States submit
voluntarily to what the fundamental laws determine in
regard to their rights, so they reckon on the justice of their
illustrious Sovereign for the maintenance of that principle
in its fu:l tenour. The States will ever acknowledge that
the whole sovereign power is vested in the King's person,
and that he is bound to the co-operation of the States for
the exercise of certain rights only. They consider them-
'elves obliged to enable the King to fulfil his federal obli-
gations, and they look upon it as fortunate, that in the
unfortunate event, which they hope will never happen, of
the internal tranquillity being disturbed, either by the
resistance of their fellow citizens or the propagation of
seditious doctrines, or the breaking out of open sedition,
the Confederation would be obliged, on the demand of the
sovereign, to lend him prompt assistance. They con-
sider as a still greater advantage that, in case of the Go-
vernment being notoriously unable to put down in-
surrection, and forced to call upon the Confederation, it
would be prepared to do so, even though nut called on.
The legislature of every country should have due regard
to the decrees of the most illustrious Diet, when confined
to their proper limits. But the States of Hanover must
declare that the Diet cannot hinder his Majesty from con-
fiding the management of the interior affairs of the king-
dom to them ; and the word petition in the resolutions of
the Diet is, therefore, synonymous with proposition. They
are therefore convinced that the Diet had no intention of
interference with their deliberations, which, beside, his
Majesty would not permit. The States of Hanover have
the perfect assurance that this method of viewing the re-
solution of the Diet of the 28th of June is the true one—
they think themselves the more justified in making this
supposition, since it repo-es on the fundamental laws of
the Diet; and the communication of the King's Ministry
of the 16th says expressly, that in acceding to the resolu-
tion of the Diet of the 28th of June, his Majesty the
King has at heart the good of his country, as also of its
rights and liberties, and which he cannot better prove
than in placing before the eyes of his kingdom, three days
after his adhesion to the resolution of the Diet, the prin-
ciples he wishes them to follow in forming a Constitution.
It is with gratitude the States of Hanover have received
these assurances of paternal care, of which they never
doubted, and confiding in these sentiments, in accordance
with the fundamental laws of the Confederation, and per-
suaded that the good of Germany depends on the prompt
execution of the laws, they beg the Ministers to assure the
King that they hope the Diet is prepared to fulfil the pro-
mise* given to the people by the 19th article of the Federal
Act, and also to grant to Hanover the indemnity due to it
for the expenses of the federal contingent.
There were four votes against the address; all the
others were for it.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 23.
PROTOCOL OF TIIE CENTRAL COMMISSION OF THE NA-
VIGATION
THE RHINE, GIVEN AT MENTZ, JULY
30, 1832.
The Government of the Low Countries having pro-
posed, in the 507th protocol of the Central Commission
of the Navigation of the Rhine, of the 31st of January of
i
I,lst Year, on the separation of Belgium and Holland, to
ree Antwerp from the articles 5 and 6 of the project of a
treaty for the navigation of the Rhine, proposed by the
" Government and by Prussia, and already accepted by
eid 'ix other States bordering on the Rhine, in the 6th
article of the 501st protocol of the 19th of December,
1830, articles in which were notified the free ports in-
"red by Belgium to the other six States bordering on the
Rhine, and the Government of the Low Countries having
sPeated this proposition in the 510th, and again in the
12th protocol, this article was at length given up, in order
not
ot injure the treaty, at which ime Baden, Bavaria,
and Prussia, to which afterwards France joined
self, madeexpressly the following reservations—that
titi
"entption of Antwerp would only be valid in case the
nepartion was maintained, and that all the other resolu-
tns of the said treaty, as well as those of the Congress of
lenna, would continue in force until the Govern went
, of the Low Countries should be able to fulfil
t`'enl the ; that the in no way intended to renounce
:
rtgot of a direct communication between the
indt
wat,s ers of the Rhine and those of the Scheldt,
Other of
necessary for the commerce of the
States bordering on the Rhine, and the chief object
of the treaty, in order that in always maintaining the re-
servation above mentioned, this would become the object
of particular discussion, after the conclusion of the terri-
torial boundaries of Belgium, and that ulterior arrange-
ments Would be taken. If, by this reservation, there has
b-en some delay to the satisfaction demanded, it has been
by considerations which the Belgian Government will best
know how to appreciate:
tiary of the Low Count Upon which the plen
iP"ttt
ries expressed his conviction
his Government would not refuse its consent to this reser-
vation, and to open a discussion on the ulterior negocia-
tions, at the period menti b the orering States.
The said reservation, and theoned declayrationb ofd the Plenipo-
tentiary of the Low Countries, have been inserted in the
paragraph of the 3d protocol on exchange of the ratifica-
tion of the 16th of June of last year, No. 521 of the treaty
for the navigation of the Rhine,
signed in his cenference
by all the Plenipotentiaries the 31st of March of last year ;
and the bordering States had a right to wait quietly the
decision of the territorial affairs of Belgium, and at the
same time the realization of their just reservation with the
greater confidence, that in the event of the loss of Ant-
WerPa they had not demanded of Belgium any sacrifice or
entnpensation.
This attempt, already founded on the treaties and ne-
gotiations anterior to the conclusion of the new
solemly
treaty of
the navigation of the Rhine, has again
which the fiven
been
recognized in the style of the 24 articles,
great European Powers proposed the 15th October, 1831,
by their Plenipotentiaries at the Conference of London,
With the hope of obtaining the pacification and the separa-
tion of Holland from Belgium. In these circumstances,
the States bordering on the Rhine interested in this affair,
have been very much surprised on reading, in a note ad.
dressed to the Ministers of the Conference of London by
the Plenipotentiaries of the Low Countries, and dated the
30th January of this year, the following passage relative
to the affair in question—c' The undersigned had in fact
Dhad the the honour to observe in this memorial (of the 14th
ecember) that they had not been able to enter into ar-
gements at Mentz on the navigation of the intermediate
Waters between the Scheldt and the Rhine, and that the
Cabinet of the Low Countries had not been able to under-
stand why it had been necessary to stipulate in favour of
the Low Conntries conditions which the States bordering
on the
ene Rhine will never claim on their side." The under-
migiad Plenipotentiaries cannot attribute this assertion to a
understanding on the part of the Ministers of the Low
Countries at the Conference of London, respecting the
former negotiations on this head at the central coin-
Mission of the navigation of the Rhine.
The undersigned Plenipotentiaries, having a perfect
tonfidence in the known uprightness of the Cabinet at the
eague, and persuaded that it will fulfil, at the proper
me, the promise given to the other States bordering on the
Rhine in accomplishing its obligations, accepted by these
and corroborated by the reservations made by them,
think, nevertheless, it is the interest of States bordering
°a the Rhine, which they have the honour to represent,
not to keep silence on this subject, but to declare solemnly,
that the bordering States which they represent will in no
Way renounce the reservation they have made, and which
has been accepted by the Low Countries (paragraph 8 of
the
521st protocol); but still, considering it of the highest
importance, they demand its fulfilment at the time men-
tioned, and will do all in their power with the Govern.
tnent of the Low Countries, as well as the Government to
Which they belong. The continuation of an association for
the navigation, which has existed up to this moment be.
treen neighbouring States, is too much in the principles

of the Peace of Paris of 1814, and the acts of the Con-
gress of Vienna (above all, in the relations between the
Rhine and the Scheldt),—it is too indispensably necessary,
as well for the maintenance of direct commercial interests
as for the commercial relations of all the people of Europe,
for the States bordering on the Rhine ever to have the idea
of renouncing it even partially. The undersigned con-
clude by entreating the Plenipo.entiaries of the Low
Countries to communicate the present declaration to their
Government.
