programme for the approaching Session of the Cortex
" The budget; the conscription laws; the arrange-
ment of the debt; the favourable and prudent resolution
of the question of corporation estate•; the reforms that
are judged to be necessary in our system of imposts, in
customs, in the salt, in the gate dues, and those on con-
sumption; the concordat; a practical system which may
facilitate the communications and the public works in the
country—such is the vast programme of the next ses-
sion.'

The Clamor Publico hes the following :
" A correspondent of a journal at Cadiz, writing from
Madrid, says:--' You will have seen in the Ministerial
journals of the capital what they say on the projects of
-the Minister of Finance and upon the reduction of taxes.
We can add to this intelligence what is currently re-
ported here. Speaking of the budget, it is said, and
some give it for certain, that the tax upon real property
is to be increased by fifty millionsi"of reels, as the only
resource of the Minister of Finance to cover the ex-
penses of the budget of the coming year and the extra-
' ordinary credits granted to improve certain branches of
the Administration."

A concession has been granted for the construction

GERMANY.

The following note has been addressed by the
Prussian Prime Minister to the Prussian Charge
d'Affaires at the Electoral Court of Hesse :
" To Herr Von Ttile, Char4d'Affaires of his Majesty
the King of Prussia at the Court of his Highness the
Elector of Hesse.

" The recent events which have taken place in Elec-
toral Hesse claim in a high degree the attention of the
Government of his Prussian Majesty. Of course these
have been principally evoked by matters of the internal
policy of Hesse-Cassel; but, in the present state of Ger-
many, they obviously constitute a situation of danger for
the whole land, and especially for neighbouring states.
On this account, apart from the entrance of -the Elector
of Hesse with other German Governments into a closer
relationship of community with Prussia, neighbourly
friendship imposes on us the obligation to cast a glance
upon the circumstances taking place in the electorate. We
can the less decline t his duty, as at the present time no uni-
versally acknowledged legal organ exists in Germany by
which such questions as may arise out of the affairs of Hesse
Cassel can be resolved, and consequently every mem-
ber of the German Eland, and particularly such as are
more nearly interested, are more Than ever bound and
entitle 3 to take into consideration every means of avert-
ing danger from the common fatherland. Before all
things the Royal Government regards it as a duty in the
present critical, acd for the Electoral Government, deci-
sive moment, not to keep silence, but to address it in
open, candid, and earnest languages It does this the
more willingly, since it cherishes the conviction that
within the electoral constitution itself, and especially in
the provisions for a court of compromise which it con-
tains, lies the possibility of arranging the present dif-
ferences in a manner consistent with the authority and
dignity of the supreme head of the state. To enter
upon such a peaceful and lawful course, and to pursue it
until the dutiful officers and citizens of the state should
entertain no doubt that every means of coming to a law-
ful solution of differences bad been exhausted, we hold
to be the sacred duty of every German Government.
We cannot conceal our conviction that the pre-
mature deviation from this course, the omis-
sion to employ the means of adjustment offered in the
constitution for averting the premature one-sided action
of Government or Chamber, by a judicial decision,
brings with it the danger that, through the wrong-doing
of one part, the other may be provoked to forsake the
path prescribed by duty, and that the Government may
thus remain not free from the responsibility of the ulti-
mate fearful and incalculable issue of such a contest.
The Prussian Government willingly forbears to discuss
the individual points on which the Electoral Government
and the Chamber, and its standing committee disagree.
It cafaiot, however, omit to entreat the Electoral Go-
vernment to examine anxiously and conscientiously
whether, while extending exceptional measures
over tho whole of its territories, it has exhausted all
andreallyt
constitutional means of attaining its highest end—the

" Berlin, Sept. 12, 1850. " BRANDENBURG."
According to the Cologne Gazette, Prussia has de-
termined to adopt very energetic measures in the
affair of Hesse-Cassel; the Government will not tole-
rate any interference on the part of the Diet; and if
necessary will oppose it by force. The Minister of
Commerce, M. Vox DE HEYDT, has resigned his post.
