HANAU, SEPT. 18.

There is now no longer doubt. Austria and Prussia
lave united together for the purpose of carrying their
plans into execution of abolishing the constitutional ex-
istence in all Germany, of annihilating lib. rty of writing
end of speaking, and of destroying every trace of liberty.
For this purpo►e their Ambassadors at the German Courts
have been instructed to work upon the minds of the Princes
and Ministers. A secs et police has been by them orga-
nised, and the servant-like Diet is to sanction resolutions as
they shall have been dictated from Vienna and Berlin. To
terrorism, and to aristocratism, must the German Soy,
reigns, Princes as well as Kings with crowns, crouch and
obey, in the same manner as their people. Under the
pretence, that so long as other European Powers do
out disarm, the German Diet, consulting its security,
is obliged to keep a large army on foot, the existing
army is to be increased considerably. As peace ex-
ists al round Germany, it is evident to demonstration
that those preparations are solely directed apitist the
people of Germany. And can those people, in order to
..arly the yoke of Austria and Prussia, give their sons as
•bldters, and their money as a means for their own en-
slavement ? By the basis law, the army of the Diet is to
consist of 302,000 men, ready even in time of peace. In
consequence of the military conferences at Berlin the Du t
is to issue a resolution, by which in all the States of the
Confederation a reserve is to be established; frotr► which
the actual army of the Diet will be increased at least
100,000 men. The costs are to be supported by the
wealth, the labour, and the freedom of the different p.ople.
And for what advantage ? To gratify the hate, the thirst
of rule, and persecuting spirit of some Potentat,s and
their adherents ; and that the plans of subjecting and of
clouding other States, which have been forged in Vienna
and Berlin, may be carried into effect. That the burdens
of debt and taxes will thereby be increased, is not taken
into consideration. For both, the people must be the vic-
tim—as being znatiere taillabe, corveable, et malleable.
The Di.,t has already thundered out curses of excom-
munication against all liberal journals and publications,
and the Governments have, with joy, heard the curses. hi
the universities, all professors are to be removed front their
chairs, who, by liberal expressions, either in the Assem-
blies of the States, or in their writings, have in any man-
ner displeased the Contite de salut public at Vienna or Ber-
lin. The Diet orders, and no Government dares to refuse
obedience to its commands. The commencement is about
to take place by the servile Government of Baden, which
is to displace half-a-dozen of professors from the University
of Freiburg.
At Vienna and Berlin it is resolved that all the liberal
constitutions of the several States of the Confederation
shall, through the Diet, be subjected to a severe revision
and mutilation. They are to begin with the constitution
of Hesse-Cassel of 1831. The Diet has already appointed
for the purpose a special commission. Where all this op
pression and overclouding of the public mind will end is
easily fortseen. Perdere quos volt Jupiter, cos obcozeat,

Yesterday afternoon summonses were issued
by Lord PALMERSTON, for holding a conference. thii day,
at the Foreign Office. They were forwarded to the Mem-
bers of the Conference who were from town.

Despatches were received in town last night
from Vienna. At the time of the departure of the courier,
Prince Pozzr DI 130E00 had arrived, thus anticipating the
arrival of Lord DuenAst in the Austaian as well as the
Prussian capital. Considerable importance is attached to
his Excellency's mission ; he had been received at both
places with distinguished favour, and invested with the
insignia of some of the principal orders. We understand
the report in the French pipers that the Prince would
resume his functions as Ambassador to the French Court,
is incorrect. He will probably visit Paris, but is expectA
vary shortly in London, and, it is asserted, afterwards re-
turn to the Ru sian capital.
The paragraphs which has appeared in various
journals, stating, " The lady of the late BENJAMIN WEST,
Esq., President of the Royal Academy, died on Wednes-
day night at her house in Belgrave-street, Belgr:ave•square,
of the prevailing epidemic, after a few hours' atta,dc,"
must be founded in mistake. Mrs. WEST departed this
life about fifteen years ago. Her remains were deposited
in a vault beneath the new church at the commencement
of the Wellington-road, St. John's Wood. They were
attended to the grave by her affectionate husband and her
• wo SODS.

,11)e Lady of Sir ROBERT ADAIR, British
Minister at Brussels, died on Wednesday last of the cho-
lera at Paris. This lady was of Fr.n.th extraction, and
had been many years servra'ed from her husband.
On Tuesday Mr. POULETT THOMSON, Vice-
President of the Board of Trade, visited Paidev, accom-
panied by Provost DALC !ASH and Dr. CLELaxn, of this
city. Mr. THOMSON called at several warehouses and
weavers' shops, in company with these gentlemen, and
made most minute inquiries into the state of trade, the na-
ture of the different branches of manufacture, and the wages
of all classes of the workpeople.— Glasgow Chronicle.
The conference which was held at the Foreign-
office on Friday continued from two o'clock to half-past
seven o'clock in the evening. More than usual import-
ance was attached to the result of the deliberation, as

nearly the whole of the Foreign Ainbasadoia sent off de-

spatches at midnight to their respective Governments,
which were not intrusted to ordinary couriers, but confided
to the care of gentlemen connected with the Embassies.
From the Russian Embassy, the Boon KRUDENEK was
sent off to Paris, and also Nlonsieur FlEaticHAvtoT, tilt.
Russian Consul General at Hamburg, with despatches
for St. Petersburg. Baron WESSENBURG also forwarded
despatches to Vienna, and Baron BuLow to Berlin.
The Conference did not meet on Szt:tirday,
but another meeting on the subject of the last note from
the King of HOLLAND is to take place this day or to-
morrow. It is not expected, however, that any decision
will be come to until after two or three meetings. The

even if they are sincere, which is to he doubted, they have

coercive measures against Holland. At the same time that
the last note of the Dutch Government was sent to Lord
PAnizasToN, copies of it were forwarded to the Dutch
Ministers at Berlin, Vienna, and St. Peterstnirgh; and
there is every reason to believe that although the represen-
tatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russii, in the Conference,
profess to be very indignant at the language of the Dutch
note, it will not meet with an unfavourable reception from
the Allied Sovereigns. We are assured, from authority,
that although King LEOPOLD did signify to the Conference
his willingness to treat on the basis recommended by that
body, there was a qualification as to time. He declared
that if the King of HOLLAND should refu.e to comply with
the suggestions of the Conference within a limited period,
he would withdraw his concurrence in them, and demand
the fulfilment of the treaty of the 15th of November. The
delay specified has nearly expired ; and it will be the duty
of M. VAN DE WEYER to call on the Conference to en-
force the treaty of the 15th of November. It is not pro..
bable, however, that this application will be complied
with. The utmost that the Conference, or rather France
and England, will do, will be to force the King of Um—
LAND to agree to the treaty as it has been modified by the
Conference. In orderfasourorstoieitniooilitbiaonteidiaesUgeeKrtin: the
