FRANKFORT, Nov. 17.—0 n the l'ith or this
month another note, couched in very strong terms,
was delivered to our Magistrates by the Ministers
here present of the four Allied Powers, respect-
ing the prohibition issued on the Sth of July, this
• „
year, by 'which the Jews- are debarret) from pur-
chasing houses.

For the military affairs of the German Confe-
deration, Prussia is stated to have appointed Ge.
Herat Von Pittid, who in the year 1815 was Com-
mandant of Paris.

The Legislative Body of the city of Frankfort
opened_ its Sittings on the 11th inst. Tits Pa-
tricians have already applied to the Diet for the
preservation and recovery of their rights,against
the new additional Act of the Constitution of the
city of Frankfurt,
For the third Sitting of the Diet on the 14th
the principal subject of deliberation was the Pe-
titions and Addresses which have been received
by the Diet, and of which the number is said to
be already above thirty. The ptinciples by which
they are to be decided on and treated were un-
folded at length by ,the Austrian, Bavarian, and
Hanoverian Ministers. A Commit'..ee- of five
Members is appointed to report on the documents
already received, and particularly with a view to
the question, how far the Diet is competent to
decide on the several. sup►jects of these Petitions.
The Alernbra of the Committee are the Bavarian
Minister, Baton Von 'Groben, the Hanoverian Mi-
nister, l.art,:nis, Baron Nesse!' of i‘lecklenburg,
President Vou Berg, and Senator Hack of Lubeck.
The manner in which the Diet will tec:eive end
treat the many wishes and requests addressed to,
it, and answer to the National wants expressed
by them, is of the most decisive importance for
the %thole tuition, and fur all the hopes which
Germany has placed in the Assrtubly of its Di. t.
It will not, indeed, he possible, nor perhaps
adviseable, to gratity all these wishes ; but it -is
indubitable that,usetul interior regulations, and
the just relief of well-founded complaiots, as far
as it is possible, is the noblest sphere of the in-
tet nal exertions of the Diet, and ►rill most cer-
tainly secure to it the durable ennfidenee of the
Country.

. Of the Addresses hitherto presented, that of the
Mediatised Princes, &c. is of the most political
importance. The dissolution of the Rhenish Con-
federation, proclaimed by the high Allies, and
which all the German Sovereigns acceded to, re-
stored the rights which had been violently de-
stroyed, and consequently theirs. These claims
were acknowledged. to be just by the Congress,
but she renewal of war prevented any arrange-
ment being made, though the Act of Confedera-
tion sketched the outlines of a new form. The
sentiments of honour, justice, and ditty calls on
them solemnly to insist on their hereditary rights
and on their property, which is consecrated by
incontrovertible titles, by the possession of cen-
turies, and recognised byjall the Powers of Europe.
They are however ready to make sacrifices for
the good of Germany, but are convinced that the
deprivation of their rights Without their consent
will never have any validity.

STUTTGART), Nov. 12.—Colonel Wolf, formerly
commandant of Hohenwiel, who has been for 1G
years a prisoner in the castle of Asperg, was set
at liberty the day of the present King's Accession
to the throne, and received a pension. Of the
five Parks that now exist four are to be broken
up. The streets of Stuttgard are not to be light-
ed in future when the moon shines.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. B.—News has been received,
that the herrings have again appeared in such
numbers on the coasts near Gottenburg that, as
the letter says, boats were impeded by them in, their
progress. it is however lamented, that little ad-
vantage can be derived from the circumstance
this autumn, as all the establishments for salting
them have long since fallen into decay,
,and seve-
ral thousand persons formerly employed there
have gone away, since the fish have for 12 or 15
years past taken another direction, which has
been an annual loss to the kingdom of two mil
lions of dollars in silver.

The Election for the County or Worcester is
fixed for Thursday next, n hen it is expected that
Colonel FL BRAUCHAMP LYGoN will be elected in
roost cat his brother, summoned to the House of
Peers.

LONDON,
SATURDAY, NOiTsIIBER 30, 1816.

From the Paris Papers to the 2Sth, and Ham-
burgh Journals, receiretl this looming, we have
selected the chief articles of intelligence. The
French Chambers have not yet proceeded to dis-
cuss any very important public business, but the
Pure Royalist Party seems to be impatient to
come to a trial of strength with Ministers. Se-
veral sallies have been made in the [louse of Peers,
and one in the Lower Chamber, though the
grand battle is still delayed.
On the German side, the Diet tf Frankfort oc-
cupies undivided attention.

The Gerd Lietitenaut of It eland has applied (as
we were sometime :Igo informed) to be allowed to
retne (tom his eminent station on account of ill
health. A Morning Paper says, that Earl TALnoT
is to be his successor, an appointment not un-
likely, though we do not know on what authority
it is stated : The Doke of Ilitmlitin was men-
tioned, but it is probable that his Grace could
not take the office.

, A Morning Paper, exaggerating the distress ot
the times, according to its custom, calls upon its
Readors to look at the " sixty flunkrupkits" in
the week's Gazelle, and impute the calamity to
Ministers. The Writer forgot that the Bankrupt
List is invariably swelled by the law proceedings
during Term, and that the busiest Term of the
year has jest concluded. The Ainhoiack, then,
and probably other causes which we could
mention, ought to be arraigned, rather dun Go-
vernment.

There was no congregation at *tht Common
Hall yesterday. Never did Rival Orators hold
forth to so thin an audience in a populous city.
In short, even the idle are tired of the oft-repeated
tale—

"'rola by Idle',
" run of suunfl and fury,
"Signifying N4thitiy?"

The only novelty on this occasion Was a con-
tention for mastery between Messrs. Ilvsr and
WArrn MAN, in which the hitter, being upon his
own dung-heap, came oil victotions. We eau
only regret that two such eminent men • should
disagtce. It is a national calamity, and may pro-
duce an Iliad of woes, though 'the long-Winds(!
speeches of the parties will not be compressed
into a bomb, fa; less a nutshell.
" "cis true 'Os pity—Pity 'tis, 'tis true."

We have given wit' last page to this important

discussion.

Verily, very little boys are very great Patriots
After the Guildhall was over yesterday, the Com..
mon Hunt, whose oratory misses no opportunity
ot display, was followed along Cheapsitic by a
mob of about a huntlred raggec; rascals of from 10
to l 4 years of age, who shouted lustily hurra ;"
and wl►en the object of this boyish tribute got
into a haelineychariot, these consistent little he-
roes scorned to be seduced from their favonrite
even by the Lone MAYOR'S gilt coach, and hal-
loed the humble vehicle all theway,to St. Paul's
Church-yard. Whether this exhibition comes

MR. WILI,IIII conn Err.

TO THE EDITOR. O 1 THE SUN.

beg to actriaint you 'that 1 am one of
those enlightened Philosophers who hold. con-
sistency in utter contempt, and do not approve of
the puny attacks which hive.been made upon the
respectable Citizen Witt m (o 1 cl'r, for having,
as occasion called for it, changed his principles
and opinions. lam well aware, Sir, that every
question has two shies, and, as Sir !tones DK
CoVEttLY tells us., that a great deal may be•said
on both, and I am a!so aware that some illiberal
and unenlightened individuals have regarded con-
sistency as a species. of Cardinal virtue,--and,
simply, imagine that, without a fixed and steady
principle of conduct and action, we are liable to
be biased by every impalse, as self-interest, dis-
appointraeni*,, ill humour, or worse motives may
guide us. But, Sir, if we may give rtedit (and
I am sure no sensible person Will long hesitate
about so doing) to the worthy Citizen before-
mentioned—no doubt can rem tin orlon the subject,
and we must be forces to confess that, of all species
Of consistency, the consistencyof inconsistency is at
once the most charitable, politic, and convenient.
But to exemplify answer to the attacks
which have.been made upon Mr. CoBaETT, he le-
vels all his adversaries with this triumphant re-
ply--•" It is not what I was, but what I now am ;
" not what I hare written, but what I now
write."—Sir, this •is irresistible. This pro-
ducing time present, as the vanquisher of time
past, and in defiance of time to come, puts com•
pletely out of mind all the attempts at defence of
the most celebrated advocates, front DEMOSTHENES
down to Conusellor Put wes. For instance, Sir,
when Mr. W. COBBETT MS a friend to Revolu-
tions, he thought Revolutions good—when he was
a staunch friend to old existing Governments, he
thought old existing Governments the. best—when
be wrote the bloody Buoy, as 4 guide to avoid
the horrors of Revolution, he no doubt thought
a Wooly Buoy was necessary to guard against
Ilevolutions—when he placed the Bible and
Crown over his door, lie considered the Whle and
Crown worthy the most exalted situation---when
be•threw the Bible and Crown behind the fire, he
no doubt thonghtt be fire the fittest place for the
Bible and Crown—when he wrote his Political
Protens to expose the inconsistencies of a certain
brilliant Orator, now no inure, we may suppose
Lc thert tliought inconsistency required animadver-
sion : he is however now grown wiser ! and so
ought all his Readers !

Thus, Sir, you see some of the advantagei of
Mr. WILLIAM Cosar.res doctrine and practice.
There is, however, nue thing that rather puzzles
sue;
.and as I am fetrful some ill-natured cynic
may make the enquiry, or, indeed, what is worse,
may behave like the Satyr in the Fable, and at-
, tempt to kick out of doors the individual who
blows hot and eold with the .saute breath, I wish
some of your Readers would contribute to the
elneidation of it. It is this, Sir :—When we
see one of the enlighteners of the people, one of
the greatest patriots of ancient or modern times,
liberally dealing forth his instructions, now in
praise of Jacobinistn, next the Friend of Royalty,
then agaiO the Advocate of Revolution, which
doctrine the people are to adopt as their creed ?
which of the respective periods 'during which Mr.
COMMIT wrote we are to consider the most pro-
pitious ? and which of his three sets of principles
,(at least, if not mote) we are to conclude the most
'conducive to the happiness of the mass of the
yeopre ? I am inclined to be of opinion that
-those principles whicb he advocates last must be
the best : but then the following objection pops
in the wOy, that whereas he may this week re-
commend one set, and the week after he may get
riser and,recommend others diametrically oppo-
tite. This does very well for so enlightened a
man as Mr. C9BEINTT, hut it really puzzles
some of. his Followers,—and indeed I ant told
ittots
.had the effect of diminishing their num-
bet, What- has been cruelly said about Mr.
%V. COBBETT (when pinched by the tyranny of
the ATTonNEY-tioNollot.), of writing or ceasing
ter write—of writing pro, or of writing con, ap-
reais .1.10 more to Me than a noble and positive
proof of that great nran's inviolable attachment to
the right .4.bieh every individual has of thinking
aryl wviting just as he chooses at the-moment.
Surely a 111)111 may wear leather breeches, ker-
sevmere breeches, silk breeches, or be Sans Cu.
lattes,—he may put on a blue coat, or d
COAL, a
.tees coat, or a coat. of oi-colour,. without
being called to account, or slating which dress or
undress he prefers. If mypremises arc sound.the
conclusion is self-evident. Should occasion call
tor it you shall hear from me again.
Yours, at present,
