FRANKFORT PAPIAtS.

A German Mai, with Frankfoit -Papers to the
28th of December, arrived last night. The fol..

lowing are extracts:—
" HaarAtsr, Dec. 12.—We learn that Jabn iS

dency as that which at use (according to an Eng-

181,1, is now to be made • out fr,in the

in•entioti of having reconise.to poisno of iue nag-
ger. Dr. Rodiger, who was released some days
ago, has been again arrested. It is said brat a
clue has been found towards the discovery of the
Correspondent of the Etivlish Journal, whose ar-
ticles of tile Mb And 16th September have not
beets inserted, as far as we know, in he French,
Netherlands, or German Papers, though, they
throw much light on what are called the secret
intrigues. The deputation of the society of Ger-
man merchants and manufacturers has Met Kitt{
a most friendly reception at Berl r, and has rea-
son to hope that the l'rui,sian Government will
promote the intentions and proposals of th, Ger-
man merchants.

MEINENGEN., Dac. 22.—1 n this city, where
public opinion had so clearly expressed itself re-
specting. the injury done to the town and cod. try
by the increase of the petiy comaterce of. die
Jews, limits have been ,fixed to its fur tier spread-
ing, by a Dacal Ordinance. By ;his ordinance, it
is decreed that the. number of Jealsh meteantile
establishments now exist itig shall not be removed
unless peculiar eircutustancei should ocesir, and
without permission from the Governmert.—The
Jews are still allowed to tieal its manufactored
goods by retail, so tar as it is not contrary to the
privileges of she Guilds or Companies., and exist-
ing ordinances. It they wish to dell in pitch goods
of borne manufacture,. they ,must be purchased of
the. makers, and stamped on payment of a trifling
fee. Retail trade in colonial produce is ptohibi'ied
to all Jews; the Government reserves to itself the
right to- give especial permission to deal. them
wholesale.—All Jews are forbidden to hawk
goods about to sell, as well in the country as in
the towns ; titer oily may hawk about goods at
fairs, and one day before and after. No licroces
to trade will be given lc foreign Jews; on the
other hand, Jews, sobjects of the rots “ry, tt'in
be allowed to distribute their trade more in the
country, that it may not be injurious to the places.
in whicliThey reside.
" STUTTOARD, Dcc. 20.—An ordinance of his
Majesty the King of ‘Viirtemborg has been pub-
lished at Tubingen, which contains in substance
what follows The laws already
.existing
against sec.-et and unauthorised associat loos
in the University, are maintained in their IN 01e
force and terror, and they are partienlatly ex-
tended to the 'asi.ociation which has been
formed within fi,eie few years, under the
general are of Burschenschaff. Those stu-
dents who, after the publication of this prohi-
bition, shall be convicted of having continued, or
having become members of secret nna.ithurised
associations, are excluded, for the future, from
any public employment. Every student, who by
virtue of a decision of the academical authorities,
has been dismissed from a University, or who, to
avoid, a decision of this kisid, has quitted the
versity, will not be admitted Into any Uuiversity
in Genitally, and in general no student leaving
one University will be received into another
sin-
less he is provided with satisfactory testimonies
from the University which he has quitted.'
" The Central Committee of the Society for the
Plotection of Manufactures and Commerce, the
formation of which was 9:dered by a rescript of
his Majesty last July, has now published a circus-
far letter to all manufacturers, merchants, &c,
inviting them to collect and send the 'most aecti-
rate information on the subject, stating the ore.
sent situation of the Manufactories, &c., whether,
improving or declining ; how affected by the COD-
cut rence of fOreign articles, what obstacles impede
them, and how- they may be removed, &c."

We are soiry to learn that Mr. Gantivltt.
VERNON was seriously wounded on Saturday, by
a.) accident at a showing party, at Cobham-haVi;
the teat of the Earl of DARNLEY.

PRIVATE AND ALTTLIENTic CORRESPONDENCE.

STATE OF FEANCE Ai' THE CLOSE OF 1819.
DEc 30 —One would imagine that the

French, who ktve been -30 years in political
broils, would, by this time, understand something
of the science of polities, hut expetience proves
that this knowledge iy-onfined to a very limited
number. A Frenchmen, views evut y thing

throuAli a inicloscove, vhich swells into a

vast import ane. • the insect directly under his
eye; this insect is his own party or faction ; beyond
i:s sphere his optic nerves can trace no object
distinctly; all -is confusion awl disorder. E•ch
politician views a (tart, hot cannot cot race the

like the Phil,sophevs of Antiquity, tsbose
ignorance and vanity nridF, them fancy the PAU Ili
to he the centre of thc,..worhl, round which the

fancied, no►t only the sun and plat►ets, but even
the fixed .tars, ►owed in their orbi!s to do it

homage.

It is !his narrow view of affairs that has pre-
vented the French from ever hei.g able to apprc:
elate either the character or the measures of M.
DEcAztis. To-lley he appears to incline towatds
the Liberals,• who inst-aptly predict the imme-
diate downfall of the Uitras, who heap on M.
DacAzas every speci,-s of abuse ; to-morrow •he
seems to desert the Liberals and favour the
Ultras ; hence similar conclusions and abuse, on
the other side. On the third day his con-
duct is equally hostile to both the Ultras and the
Liberals. New abuse from all, M. Decazes is now
a hypocrite, a man who has no settled system,
and who never knows his own mind for 24-hours

together. bus the ignorant fancy the moun-
tains they see as irrefragible proofs against the
rotundity of the earth, whereas, could they em-
brace the whole at one view, they would find
them only like a grain of sand on the surface of
The Parties see nothing hut i neon-
sistencies in M. Decazes' conduct, because they
view every thiug'with a reference to themselves
only; but could their narrow minds embrace a gene-
ral view, they would find his system always in har-
mony with itself. His object is to protect the
Constitution horn all attacks, preserve the pre-
sent tl nasty on the Throne, and cause the Laws
to he observed. This is his system, anti when we
examine the events of his ministry, we shall find
every measure tends to these points. In 1815,
proscriptions and the guillotine were the order
of the day ; it was the ttiomoh of cowardice
over disaffection, and the rack and gibbet became
the weapons of those who did not dare to draw
their swords, which hung dangling front their
sides like a lady's ridicule. France could ill brook
the insolence of these Gentry in 1314 ; so that
when BUONAPARTE landed, no one opposed him,
because discontent reigned every where, and even
his despotism was preferable to the alarm of
hating to pay tithes, of losing all their property,
and of being rendered inadmissible to every
office worth having. These are the real causes of
the stupor and indifference that reigned every
where, but no one &Sired BUONAPARTE' S return ;
as a proof of it, with all his exertions, his Com-
missioners Extraordinary, his Champ de Mai,
tte., he could, out of a population of 28 millions,
bring only 100,000 men into the field against
WELLINGTON. France was delighted at his re-
verse, for she hoped to be free thereby, and that
the BOURBONS would ebuse better advisers.---
They did so, and when the 1.11.ra influence
was on the eve of producing another 20th
of March, M. Dersiszes arrested France
an the very brink of destruction, The Or-
donnarce of the sth of September saved it.
The Liberals rejoiced at this measure, fancied
t'siey should have every thing their own way, but
M. DECAZES, to whom all excesses appeared col,
liable, repressed their attempts and humbled their
• pride; hence their hatred of him. The Law of
Elections was the necessary compliment to the
Ordonnance of the sth September ; yet the
Liberals abused it violently ; but finding there
were loop-holes in it, which rendered its abuse
facile, they changed their minds, and now regard
it sacred as the Chatter ; but they forget their
impudent boast, which would perhaps have been
realiied, that on the renewal of the next fifth,
all the Elections would be Liberal—Ought then the
Law toexist in its present form ? Certainly not, the
annual renewal of a fifth of the Members is found
to be pernicious, though it is an article in the
Charter ; why then should it not be changed ?
But no, the Liberals wish only to be able to elude
the. Laws ; they do not want them to be changed,
because a change would 'sling their intrigues to
nought. The banished are called those condemn-
ed, without a trial, are restored to their families
and their conn try ;'they were accused of cmespir-
ing return, but it is well known that
no such conspiracy ever existed ; the only sha-
dow of a proof of it is the forged Letter sent by

sin orange.
