arrest him on the decree issued by the Civil Court,
and called on his troops to arrest them, but they re-
spectfully replied that they dared not violate the law,
and intimated that unless the ELECTOR returned to a
legal course of proceeding they would lay down their
arms. The superior tribunal has ordered that the per-
sons arrested by HATNAU are to be set at liberty, as
the arrest of civilians by military authority is
illegal, and the editors of the journals have conse-
quently been released, and have resumed their occu-
pations.
The following is the Speech addressed to the
Wurtemburg Chambers by the Minister of the In-
terior, on opening the session on the 4th inst :
_The NV urtemherg
" Gentlemen, nation has been
'me
called for the third time, t) send its representatives for
_the purpose of assisting io revise the constitution of this
state. This summons has proceeded froth the sincerest
desire to establish a national edifice by way of concord-
ance of the King and people, which shall stand for
centuries the pride of future generations. The Govern-
ment has conscientiously considered what it can contri-
bute towards the completion of this work. It 'has
spoken out without reserve in the project of law which
is ready to be laid before you. The Government ven-
tures to hope that the representatives of the nation will
see in that Bill, and in the state of the nation, abundant
reasons for abstaining from wishes and endeavours to
which the Governaient is unable- to give effect. On
your resolutions, Gentlemen, it depends whether the
country shall soon return to that state of solidity which
all so much desire. The Government believes that it
nas done all that it can for do that purpose. The Govern-
merit will consent with the
greatest• satisfaction to con-
sider with the Chamber in addition to this important and
principal work, speci a
l laws for meeting the wishes of
the
nation in respect of particular subjects
the conscri of state co
-
nomy, such as the regulation of trade, Livepnd the rmation of rail-
system, the postal regulations,th
ways connecting this with o era statesfo . in looking ;to
the relation of this to other states, the Government have
to deplore that the federal constitution has not yet been
revised in a manner corresponding to the wants and
it laments this so much
wishes of the German people;
the more as it sees the material welfare of this and
neighbouring states imperilled, and the progress of its
tional works impeded by the unsettled state of that.great
any other the peace,
question which concerns more that;
the honour, and the integrity of Germaasny. The Go-
vernrnent has omitted nothicg which it h been able to
regard as calculated to lead to this end. T" moat
opponent step it has taken was not tin act of arbi-
trary judgment, but the necessary result of (X-
-isting legal relations, and could not have been
omitted without a neglect of duty. The Govern-
ment has at the same time, by this proceeding, -
sated the rule it will follow in all future transactions;
but while persevering in a legal course, and holding to
the treaties, out if which the relations of the German
caws to each other arise, the Government repeats what
it has already expressed in the most solemn manner;
.t will make its legal position at the same time the
starting point of an earnest endeavour to bring about
the establishment of a faleral constitution corresped-
,og to the national wants of German '
This aim. Ge
Germany n
,leasen, will b.! more easy cf attainment if the Pattie-
inpnts of irdividUal states will lend their assistance to
their own Governments, to carry out all that recom-
mends itself by praticability. The Government has
confidence in the sound sense and patriotism of the re-
presentatives of the nation, that they will not render
the establishment of a constitution by way of concurrent
deliberation between the King and peOple a hopeless im-
possibility, but that their task will be discharged in a
manner that will call down the blessing Of heaven upon
the land. In this expectation, with the heartiest wishes
for its fulfilment,l declare this extraordinary National
Assembly hereby opened." -
