GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette, of the 28th ult., publishes
the following letter from Berlin :
"Our Government declares in the note which it bad
addressed to the Cabinet of Vienna, that neither now
nor afterwards will it give its consent to the re-estab-
lishment of the Germanic Diet. It adds that it is ready
to discuss freely with the other states of Germany the
new Constitution, but under the condition that the right
of free and Parliamentary union shall be reserved to
the States. The re-establishment of the Germanic Diet
is considered as a violation of the promises made
to the nation. In fine, it is remarked to Austria
how dangerous it is to discuss at Frankfort with M. de
Bulow, the representative of the power the most hostile
to Germany. The note was sent on the 25th. The
following is what we learn relative to the project con-
cerning the establishment of
.the high court. It is to be
composed of judges, one-halt of whom are to be named
by the King, and the rest by the Chambers. One half
of the jurymen are to be taken from the people, and the
other from amongst the lawyers. The Government has
forbidden the Prussian officers to keep up any relations
with the Baden officers, and has directe
with those directed them

A letter from Carlsruhe, of August 27th, says—
" In the first sitting of the Assembly of the States,
the Deputy DENNIG proposed an address of felicita-
tion to the GRAND Dune. The proposition con-
tained, not: only a eulogium addressed to the GRAND
DUKE, but an approbation of his policy in the Ger-,
man question. M. BADER proposed that nothing
should be inserted in the address but felicitations.
That motion was rejected, and the address adopted."
A letter from Stuttgard of the 27th states the Bill
for a new constitution hhs been completed by the Mi-
nisters of Wurtemburg, and will soon be presented to
the Chambers. It is said to be very liberal. The
electoral right is placed on a wide basis.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

We read in the Independance of Brussels :-
- --

- .
" A telegraphic dispatch from Hamburgh announces
that the Danes had operated in the night of the 27th a
landing near Grunewald, not far from Poer. The gar-
rison of Kiel, it was alleged, was called under arms. Our
private letters contradict altogether this news. It is
one of those things vs h!ch the German telegraph desi-
minates with such facility. The Danish army fortifies
itself every day. in Schleswic, and everything an-
nounces that it will go into cantonments there. Mean-
while, the newly-elected Chamber of the represonta'ives
of the duchies is preparing to meet, and as Kiel appears
too exposed, the idea is to hold the sittings at Altona.
The situation remains the same. Schleswic finds
itself' at present de facto united to Denmark, in conse-
quence of the occupalion of the whole duchy
by the
Danish army. The stutus quo consequently realises in
part the
_object for which the Cabinet of Copenhagen
undertook the war."
The Altona Mercury contains s proclamation from
the Stadtholderate to the following effect :-
46 APPEAL TO ALL TUE MEN OF TELE COUNTRY CAPABLE

OF BEARING ARMS.
" Rendsburg, Aug. 25.
"Our fatherland requires for its defence all the force
atits disposal. In consequence thereof, and by com-
mand of the Stadtholderate, this summons is addressed
to all men and youths of the Lind capable of bearing
arms, who have not hitherto belonged to the army, t'
present themselves forthwith at Rendsburg to the office
for the voluntary enrolment of the sons of the country,'
established for that purpose. No distinction will be
made on their admission in respect to age; the state of
their health and bodily capabilities will alone decide.

THE PRESIDENTSHIP ta" THE ROYAL ACADEMY.
—The members of the Royal Academy will proceed next
week to fill up the office of president, vacant by the lamented
death of Sir Martin Archer Shee. There are in the field
for the honourable position several distinguished candidates,
including Eastlake, Leslie, and Pickersgill. The claims of
Landseer and Turner have also been freely canvassed, but it
is not certain that either of the latter gifted academicians
could undertake, if elected, to discharge the duties of the
presidentship, so numerous and onerous are their professional
" engagements " for the next three years.— IVeekly Chronicle.
