By the news from Germany. and the printe let.
tars from Paris, it seems quite certain that Lorraine
and Als lee will be stparated from France, and will
he incorporated with the new Kingdom of the Rhine.

perial Highness the Archilnke Charles of ustria.

We have this day given a continuation of the Edi-
torial temarks, publislied in the Rhenish Mercer on
the state of the Nez,-,nciatiens. It is interesting to
witness the extended views of the writers of the Con-
tinent on the policy which might to be pursued in the
Councils of Germany. Some affect to consider them
as the mere effusions of a German .furnalist : others
give them the high character of. demi-arida publi-
cations, emanating Irom the Cabinet of B..rlin. We
esquire not which they are; for from whichever of
these sources they may come, otir Readers. ought to
he made acquainted with the statements circulated
in Germany during tuck a ctisis as the present. We
feel none sof that sourness which someot our eontempo.
raises mSnifest at the fieedom of the writer : on the
contrary, we rejoice to see the Press assuming in Ger-
many that freedoin of discussion which has been so
instrumental in maintaining liberty in our own coun-
try. Does this writer speak freely of the errors or
supposed selfishness of the British Cabinet ? Does
rot the English press do the same respecting other
Cabinets ?--G• Bat they blame us unjustly." Be it
so: No one will be hardy enough to affirm that in
no instance the Press'of England has unjustly blamed
other Cabinets. Free discussion is the way to rectify
misconceptilms,, and to prepare the people for acting
with propriety.
We have alsn laid before our Readers the Official
Note of Fouctre to the Ministers of the Allies. Whe-,
ther perfectly accurate we cannot determine; but it
is so much in his artful style, that we are inclined to
think it genuine. Its object seems to have been to
take the Allies by surprize, and obtain frpm them a
promise that they %geoid maintain the integrity of
France. In a word—that peace was again restored,
and the Alhes had therefore no farther claims to,
make !—We need n.it add, that the hit did not take.

in die Si4it of the 4th tilt: we laic, lo,foie on,
keadefrs the substance of certain repotti Which :+r=
prated the Elbe morning in a Dally Paper, respect.i:,
a recent marriage. We daub: d .it the nativity's
whether all the circumstances could be prucis!l;
theft stated, and theretore informt d our Readers the
wt Could not touch for the perfect aecutacy of th
statemeot.

In the article alluded to it was stated, "• that whe;
a an illustrious personage announced -an irrevocable
46 determination not to receive thy Laiy at her house,
16 not to countenance the marriage by her presence,
44 a proposal was submitted to her by the high person
44 who had committed hims?lf too far to retract, ilia,
66 if she would so far relax, as to give earned of het
46 kindness by writing a letter, which shauli facilit ItL
64 the Lady's introduction at Foreign Courts, a so-
" lemn pledge would be given that the Lady sho .1,l
at not come to England, to take advantage of any
'a civil expressiods that might be used in her favour;
46 that this was agreed to, ;Ind a very kind letter was
44 written to the husband of the distinguished stran-
-66 ger ; that soon alter this, to the astonishment of
'4 the writer, a report came to her ears of the resolu-
" lion of the bridegtoorn to bring kis brier to Eng-
el' land, contrary to the express understood stipulation;
66 that upon which a second hike- was written, dis-
tinctly declaring, that nothing should make the
61 patty depart from the first resttinti,,n, and express-
" ing considerable uneasiness at being subjected to
64 inch a course, by the disitegentinus practice that
44 had ban resorted to ; and that this letter gave nse
44 tia much altercation," &c.

It now appe irs that the fore;dng statement was,
as we suspected, incorrect in several particulars. This
fact is now stated in the Morning Paper which first
gave it currency: and in the same parer a new ver.
sion is given of this transaction, which we shall sub.
join—premising, however, that still u C cannot vouch
for its accuracy : on the contrary, we suTect that in
several particulars it will be found incorrect.

" When the Dike of CUSIBEItIAND had deter-
mined to off...r his hand in m.irriage to the Princess
de SALMI, in the spring of 1814, his Royal High-
ness took the pleasure of the PlitCF: Rectour and of
hec MAJESTY on the unify,. The Princess Also made
it an insuperable condition of ly2r compliance that
the consent of the Royal nuttily of Enoiand, aid
particularly of the Qum', her aunt, should be pre-
viously obtainod to it. This coment, we learn, wis
given on the 14th of August, 1814.; and on the Ist
CLtober in that year, the Queen wrote a lettry, with
her owa hand, to her bOther, the teiving Duke ul
MhX:KLEN REIM SMELL, Z (the lather of Cie Princess).

The ktrer then goes on to instruct the Princess
how to act on her arrival here, the manners of this
country being so different from those 01 aermany.
particularly in advising her Royal Highness not to
receive visits from Gentlemen in the morning, espe;
cially of officers, to which she might be subject, by
the Duke, her husband, having a regiment; that she
must be on her guard against improper female ac.
qusintance, and against mixing in any of the political
parties of the country, which, her Majesty says,
through the long series of years she has resided in
Great Britain, she and the King have studionsly
avoided, &c. &c. ; and it concludes with requesting
her brother's acceptance of a present of tea • and
cbletes, which in eating may remind him of his aff.x.
tionare relatives in this country. •
" This letter, which was duly received by the La-
dy's parent, was quite satisfactory to her feelings, and
the royal awns was transmitted to the parties, sanc-
tioned by the Great Seal of England affixed thereto.
This letter upon the face of it appears to be written,
not merely in the expectation of the Princess's arri.
val, but of her continued residence in this country;
and certainly it dues not appear that there was any
condition, agreement, or promise as to the Princess
not coining to England, nor is it either polite or cre-
ditable to suppose that such a letter would have been
written with a view of facilitating the Princess's in-
troduction to Foreign Courts, since she had always
been honoured with the most distinguished reception
there.

" The marriage was solemnized with all due
forms on the 29th of May, 1815, fourteen months
after the Princess had become a widow. Immedi-
ately after which his Royal Highness came to En-
land, unaccompanied by his Duchess, because he had
the application to make to Parliament; and also at
that time because be expected to have a command in
the armies that were assembling to reduce BONAPARTIL.
44 It was not till then, it was not till, the 17th of
June, as we are assured, that the Duke heard of the
Quzgi's indisposition to the marriage ; and he is said
to have had the first communication of it from a
frieiski, whom he accidentally met in St. James's-
street."

The Duke of CLAM/NCI arrived in town yesterday
