FRANKFORT PAPERS.

Frankfort Papers to the 12th instant, and other
German
..Journals, arrived yesterday evening:—
The following are extracts :
" AUGSBURG, JULY B.—Acconltits from Berlin
state positively, that a Constitution for the Prus-
sian Monarchy will shortly be published, and that
the necessary measures for carrying it into effect
are already- ar advanced in its chief points 5
it is said to be entirely the work of the
Councillor of State, Prince Hardenberg. We
have always expected that the decisive step would
come from hint, for it has always been the great
(111::of this distingnished Statesman to see and
:ot more promptly than any other what the
times call for. The leading feature of such a
work must, indeed, be drawn by one person ; the
details may be left to many to fill tip. Very little
is known of the contents and tendency of our fu-
ture Constitution ; the opinions, or rather con-,
jecture, on the subject ate various, but we be-
lieve that the spirit of it may be pretty accurately
presumed from tLie answer made by the Prince a
year and a half ago on the Rhine, to the Deputies
of Coblentz, in the-discussion of the remarkable
address,-and in which the most liberal sentiments
and views are evident. We shall not unnecessari-
ly •quharass our Constitution with feudal rights
and the like, after they have been for • the most
part so happily got rid of ; as the representative
system will be able to develope itself in all its
energy and purity, the inediatised Princes and
Counts will not be in the way,: Attempts have
beets made, both by Convention and by Public
Journals, to give the public false notions about
ths Constitution in Prussia, attributing sometimes
to one person, sometimes to another, preponde-
rating influence either in retarding or accelerat-
ing it, All those and similar reports are contra-
dicted by our accounts, which appeal to the fact,
that a section of the Council of State, with Prince
Hardenberg as President, has long been appoint-
ed to draw up the Constitution, and that, there-
fore, the whole has to take a regular prescribed
course.

"'LAUSANNE, JULY 6.—Tbe embarkation of
the Swiss Colonists, destined to people New Fri-
bor,,, in the Brazils, took place at Estavayer on
tie 4'h of this month. It was a most affecting
sight to see these 2373 persons, of both sexes and
all ages, quitting for ever their -native country,
amidst the cries and despair of their relltions.—
An immense concourse of people was collected at
Estavayer to witness a scene unparalleled in our
annals, and which, doubtless, will be the only
one of the kind that Switzerland will be--condemn-
ed to furnish.

't BERLIN, JULY 6 —On Saturday, the 3d, the
performance in memory of Kotzebue took place,
as has before been done for Lessin,
land, Koerner, and the actors Flack and M'rs.
Bethmann. Mrs, Setif-neck, in the character of
Germania, spoke the prologue with great preci-
sion and feeling ; towards.the end of it she was
accompanied by music. ,When the prologue was
canc!uded the curtain was slowly dropped, and
!he representation of Herrmann find Thnsinelda
ended the ceremony.

The receipt, which is said to amount to near
1,000 dollars, was for the i.vidow of the deceased,
and will be r‘cul:ted to her.
