Brlmisr, AVG. 2.—The result of the sittings of

inm-rant object acquires
publi-
city. Wu I< opts, now that the Government has
taken ttsc resoint (0 maintain provisionally the
contrinntions, both direct and indirect, on their
old footing,;, till new decrees he made upon the
sohject. The Grand Presidents of the different
pto, inees have received orders to consult the most
notable inhabitants of their respective districts,
both upon 'the system of nuances proposed by
Count and rejected by the Council of
State. and upon the bases of the system nroposeti
by the Council, or rather by a majority of its
members. The Grand Presidents ate required to
address to Government the result of their con-
sultations in circumstantial reports. Jr will be
obserVed, that the result will depend principally
on the great Proprietors or Nobles. They will
doubtless persist in supporting the present system.
Their influence will be greater in the existing
circumstances, as the Grand Presidents belong al-
most always to the class of proprietors, and con-
sequani ly have the same interests.
f'he Government has permitted the proprietors
of Noble property to condemn to imprisonment
those of the old militia who returned to their
homes, and refused the services to which they
'were bound as peasants.

GERMAN PAPERS.

TUBMGEN, AUG. 5.--In the literary Journal,
The Morgertblan, of the above date, is a letter
from Paris, in which is the following passage :
" Paris, July 2.

" The Commissioners for the liquidation of the claims of
flee Foreign Powers, make upon France a demand of one
thousand five hundred millions of francs (above 62,000,0001.
sterling) ; an enormous sum, which tht tatens to render the
next Sitting of the Chambers very stormy, and which, if this
pq}uunt must he made without any remission, is likely to
ne:klie upon all classes of the people an impression which it
would be difficult to estimate."

CONSTANCE, JULY 23.—Madame Hortensia
31.10napaite has set out for Augsburg, where she
hos purchased a very fine mansion.
FRANKFORT, Ave. S.—The residence of the Duchess of St.
Lti, and her purchase of estates in Thurgovia, drew The at-
+ ention of the Swiss Diet, which in its Resolution of the 29th
+7IIIY, 1816, decreed that the Memlers of Me Bonaparte Fa-
mily should entirery be excluded frays the• territories of Me
Cusyrderalii,n. The Ambassador trout Thurgovia defended
+he indulgence shown by- his Canton to the 10achess-first,
because that R,,tolutiot, b:al been taken only for the moment
a4;l atlhunt instructions from the States (or Cantons;, and
::'.is made by the Deputies as a passing regulation, and so
coosidereth—secondly, because, according. to the Protocol of
the High .Allied Powers of October, 1815, they no longer
thought the abode of the banished Frew:4 in Switzerland to
tee daogerous ;—and thirdly, because the Duchess led a quiet
aml retired life, and was very charitable. The Deputy there-
fore added, that if the removal of that Lady were constitu-
tionally required, his Canton.reservid its rights of Sovereign-
ty, hut was willing, if all the co-estates thought such remoVal
iit,tvantaieetins and necessary to the common iftterest, to thew
i,s invariable attachment by proper regulations. Long dis-

. • •
eussions ensiled, in which it was -eptied, that the Revilution
of 1815 had been not only justified, but coofirmed by the
circumstances of the times, none of t'Ae estates having since
then objected to •it. That things were in the same state now
as then, the faction driven from France still continuing from
their abode in other countries to disturb its tranquillity, and
thns'to endanger the general peace and security. Thirdly,
that it was more honourable for the Nation to do with pru-
dence and caption what is for its good, than to be led to it by
new misfortunes. It was therefore resolved, by a majority of
17 votes, to consider the Resolution of 1815 as still in force,
and to invite the Government of Thurgovia to remove the
Duchess from the Canton. The affair being wholly decided,
the President produced a letter from the Swiss Envoy at Paris,
containing a circular Note from the Ministers of the four Al-
lied Powers assembled at Paris, to the States adjoining to
France, according to which all persons exiled from France
have to declare by the 16th of August next, in which of the
three great Continental States, Russia, Austria, or Prussia
they will chase their future abode. It was resolved to cotn-
municate this letter in the usual manner to the Governments
of the Cantons.
