STUTTGARD,• SEPT, 21.—1 n one of the last
si►tings of the Assembly of tile States, a military
plan was read-, which had. been presented by the
Commissioners of the States to those of the king,
but wail; by his Majesty's order, returned by his
Commissioners, with the answer, that no dis-
cussion could be. entered into upon it. As this
plan bears evident marks, nut• only of precipita-
tion. but of a certain esprit corps, the Reprr.

sentative Cotta thought thHt the Assembly owe‘;
it to itself to de,..iare, that this rejected plan
an never been approved by the .Asiembly, but
oribtated merely with the COMMissioners of
the States. " Otherwise," viid he, "it might
be believed that we had so far forgotten onr-
*civet cu tte sacrifice note of the most saved tights
of the people—equality before tbelaw; sail to sane.
tion exemptions for whole classes; whielt, however,
are not imaginable, except for an ,indiviclual who
inii.tht obtain such an exemption, not pn aceonnt
•n his birth or rank, but only on account of his

archlental destination. Ilcre, when the question

.vas• not the appearance but the milky of the
lights of tite'peoge, 'it' was !he- duty of the AS-
Mbly declare,they never could or would eon-
seat to a violation of them, sod:that the eititten
and the peasant were, in their eyes, as much to
be regarledes the nobility—all being equal in the
eye of the lsw—inust be equally represented by
then,," &c. To Confirm hit opinion of tie above
plan, he read.s6me remarks on it, 'Published by a'
person versed in such matters. They are severe,
but true.. How little the spirit 'now prevailing in
the Assembly is capable 'of appreciating the truth
appears from this bat voices were heard declar-
ing such speeches-insolent and libellous, and even
allowed themselves still more violent sallies against
the personal relations of the speaker, which,
as they are as insignificant as personal, we pass
over in silence. Gotta too opposed nothing to
thii storm, but the demand, that 'all that had
passed should be exactly entered On the journals
and in the next sitting he declared, that' he had
merely wished to make the. Assembly observe, that
in that military plan the most sacred principle of
a constitution, viz. equality before the law, was
vinluted ; and that the honour of the Assembly
required it should protest against-stub errors, and
against the possible suspicion of having sane-
dotted them. He also spokeoffthe attack made
upon him in the last sitting, in a way which would
have led tO a complete'linderstanding had not of-
fended vanity had more influence than cool reason.
This offended vanity, however, again displayed
itself when, in the !Mille 'sitting, mention was
made of the pamphlet called " Appreciation of the
Complaints of the States, on the Establiiiiinetit of
a Sinking Fond without their co-operation." ,It
is impoesible to conceive thevulgarity with which
this production of real OattiOlisin was attacked in
the Assembly. Not content with this, they again
attacked Cotta, as proprietor of the Mieemeine
Zeitung, and asked how' it was possible that
the proprietor of that Paper= could still sit in
this Assembly? Cotta was thereby, induced
to speak in the sitting of to-day as follows :
" .It is evident that at this moment in an As.
which ought to attend only to general
consideration, all tends to mere personal interests.
Hateful passion has taken the place of cubit pa-
triotic deliheration. I will not fall into this fault,
though I. cannot conceal that I feel myself hell
beyond all expression in all my relations as re:-
presentative, as citizen, as father, as friend, and.
as man. But I will, as far as possible, suppress
the irritation that is so natural, and attend only
to the gteat question which we are 'called to
decide.- Therefore, I would ask some quest
