IMPEIUAL DECLARATION TO TUE DIET.

rr The numerous infringements which, fince the
occupation of the countries affigned as indemnities.
have beat thade by feveral States of die Empire, in
the rights and the immediacy of the Equeßrian
Or-
'der and its Members, have for a long time excited
the Intention of Germany.
w His Irtsual. Mammy, as fupreme Chief of the
Empire, and agreeably to the obligation, under which
he lies to maintain the degrees of the Diet, as well as
order and tranquillity, has already endeavoured, as
Is ;Fell 'known. by paternal exhortations, to put a
lop to meafures contrary to the Rate of poffe&ori,
and to the laws which have been pained in regard
to the Eqießrian Order and its Members. and to re-
'eflablifh thinss on their legal footing. Thefe efforts
of his Iwesatat. hiajarry have not produced that
area which he bad a right to expert The infringe-
ments, on the contrary. have become more general
'and more oppreifive; and the confequence in the in-
terior of the Empire hat been events which mull ne.
gefarby entriutger the public tranquillity. and bring '
on eifolitte effejims of the Equeßrian Order I the
exigence and rights of which are, however, opted to
tit* ea theism ' Ott Estfire,:and have been fecund
as well as the Conftitution Wei& by the Peace of
Weßphalia, by the old and new decrees of the Diet.
and particularly by the lag decree of the Empire..
At the requeß of the General Direlfory of 'the
Equirlan Order in the Aulic Council of the Empire,
as a Coaltituthisal Authority, there was itself, on
the sgd of January. by this fupreme tribunal, a Cot-
Itrostoriont, for the protation of the Equefirian Order
againf all encroachments, which might in future be
attempted, andfor the re-eltabliihment of that order
in the State in which it was before the occupation of
the countries afigned as indemnities. The execution
titbit [mance is referred to the Eleffor, the Arch-
Chancellor; the Bettors of Saxony and Baden. and
to his Imperial .Majefly himfelf in his quality of
Archduke of Auftria, with the claufe, each indivi-
vidually, and of colleffively.
a His Issvaarax Majesr t, in his quality as i Rate
of the Empire, is animated with a fincere defire of
contributing, according to his ilrength, to the main-
tenant, of jußiee in the empire, as well as of the
public fafety end tranquillity, and of the fecority of
the German Coaßitation, and he enjoins his Mini.
Rees to make a declaration too this &Weil to the Ge-
neral Diet."

Fasavaay S. The comitial deliberations en the
affair of the virile votes, which were again interrupted
for Tome tilne, have been refumed. Several Mini-
fters, whofe Courts bad delayed declaring their opi-
nions, have now given their votes. Among thefe is
the Eleitoral Minifter of Hanover, who ha► pro-
pcfed the eftablifltment of a deputation authorifed to
endeavour to bring together the divided opinions,
and to fubmit to the Diet conciliating propolitions.
But the affair which at prcfent excites moll attention

is that relating to the Equeftrian Order of the empire,

which has come to finch a culls as to be no longer
fslaiable of an amirahle arrangement. The Conferva-
torium of the Empire, or fentence of the Aulic
Council of the Empire, announced to the Diet by the
Mini(ler' of the Court of Vienna, gives to the Elec-
tor the ARCH CHANCELLOR, the ELlfors Of SAXONY
and Baden, and to the Archduke of Ausvats a
formal commiflion, to re-eflablifh the immediate no-
bility in their former fltuation, and even in cafe of
nerd, by the force of arms : of the execution of this
rommiffion, the Emperor espens to be informed in
the courfe of two months. What inei cafes the dan-
ger of this trills, is the fopport which the court of
&din may give to thofe of Munich, Caffel, Darm-
filth, and others, if they fhould attempt to (wore
:he fentence of the Aube tribunal of Vienna. The
hive of PR VSSIA has carded a formal declaration
be made to the diet, that he will not admit the de-
- of the Tribunals of the Empire. This decla-
- • nis contained in a memorial which was delivered
.n the Diet by the Prullian Miniller, on the zSth of
idnuary.

"His Malelly the KING of Pia has obit.' red
14;th attention and intent( the events whi.:h have
token place for tome time pall in fevers' parts of
the Empire and i❑ the heart of Germany, in regard
to the poffelhons of the Mcm;,(rs of the Eqncillian
Order. It would have been of great advantage if in
t 1;: ..--.., of the Deputation of the Empire it had
bcc❑ p Able to eftablifh a regulation, or fixed rule
,+5 enniring the future relations of the Equatian
trier, in a manner In as to reconcile a regard fur the
ights of all with the new litiiaiion of thing,, the Lew
its, and the real good of the Empiie.

n if the Ecclefiatlical &aim 6etdmitsilikamlialred
into the hands of new poffeffors, no►only with the
tights reaUy e ifed, but alto with their pretenfi-
ons ; and if there Government% formerly ecelefiailic
according to their nature and organifation, and,ac•
cording to the intereft, merely perfonal, of their Ec.
cleaaftical Sovereigns, can have fete with indiffe
rence the efforts of the Equatian Order to extend
its tertimial independence, and its immediacy, the
new poffeffors as fevereign and bereclitary laic% may
have brought with them new interefts and may have
confidered.things update differen; point of view. They
mutt and ought to have found theenfelves differently
obliged to claim rights, which might beconfitiered as
rial and ancient integrant parts of their dare of the
indemnity ; tights which could not be weakened bat

by negligence and by encroachments made at a fur-
mer period. Aronfed by fuch an event, the other
pliffeffors of the ancient lay countries, where fimilar
relations, equally hurtful to their rights and to their '
adminifb.ation exifted, have begun to bring forwards
their pretenfions. Hence it bas happened that 4-
moft at the fame time feveral of the moft diftingeifh-
ed States of the Empire, fuch as the Enscroa of
Bavaata, the Pante& of •FULDA, the ELICTOt of
Hesse, the LAROORava of Hesse DAItiIeTADT. title ,
Duna of Sara-blentunosa, and other Princes
have all tended to the fame objee. There Princes
have formed claims to the villages and lands of the
Equeftrian Order lying within their territdry, or 4.
tuated on their frontiers, both becaufe there poffeffions
formerly made an integrant part of their countries,
and becatife they are (till in relation with the latter
by their geographical pofition, by the Feudal Law,
by the dudes and rights of jurifdiaioo, and other con-
nations, which, as ancient fources, met Rill be con.
fidered as indications of fovereignty. They have'
confequently
.thought themfelves authorifcd to re;
place under their Sovereignty theta places and lands,
and to caulk to be announced by patents the poffef-
lion they have taken of them, and to fecure a part of
them by fending thither military detachments. Hither-
to no uniform and certain principles have been dials;
Lilted or followed ;—and not only have conteftations
arifen among tbe fovereigns and perfons of the Eqief-
trianbrder,who have been erpofed to encroachments;
bat differences hive broken out between one fovereign
and another, in regard to the Waits of their refpeltive
territorial jurifdittions. A juridical examination and
inttritaitto in regard to this objea having been infuf-
ficient, becauffe the organization of the circles is not
yet compacted i the queftion is to know, whether or
in what meaner the tribitnals of the empire ought to
interfere in this affair ? The whole Germanic body
participatesin the regret excited by this Rate of things,
and by the anarchical crifu which threatens, in fo
great a number of places, the property and fubjefts
of the empire. If every one is convinced that this
crifss cannot be of long duration, but that meafures
ought fpeedily to be taken to pot an ene to it, it is the
more indifpenfably neceffary to think of the means of
accompfifhing this end; the affair has become too im-
portant and too general to be difcuredby the tribunals
oftbe empire. Itcannot be diffembled, that in the Rate
in which the affairs of the empire are at prefent, the
difpofitions of there tribunals would never operate but
in a partial manner, and would never be any thing
but palliatives. The collifions in queftion are, indeed,
too complex, and too extenfive ; they lead too im-
mediately to general complaints on the part of the
States; they are even too intimately connelked with
the affair of the indemnities, and they have Rill too
much need of general principles, well determined, and
which may accord with the new fituation of the em-
pire, for a juridical procedure• to be proper and ftitli-
cient.

His Majefty can never fee with indifference advan-
tage takenof this opportunity to fpread by procedures
divifion in the empire, and by thefe means to accom•
pin fame political objcia. His Majefty cannot either
permit that his moll powerful co-elates fhould be
weakened, by taking away for no end of the vaffals
and property of the Ecqueftrian Order.
" His Majefty, guided by conftitutional fentiments,
is, confequently, of opinion, that there can be no
means Curer and more proper than to fubmit to the
Diet this objet, which is equally important to the
fafety andtramoillity cd the particular members ofthe
empire; in order, that in the deliberations which may
take place, there than be eflablilbed general princi-
ples in concert wish all the States, and particularly
with thole towelled, that the latter may regulate
their condor acc 4.dingly. His Maissry has rea-
fon to expel that the States of the Empire, who have
received (tom him in the moll important affairs an al
fiftance fo effeaual, and on the continuation of which
they may depend, will acknowledge his good inten-
tions in the complex affair in queftion, and will regu•
late themfelres according to his enunfels. In his
patriotic folicitude, and the aftliaion he experiences
in regard to the differences which have already taken
place, and which may Hill occur, his Mails-re can-
:tot help exprefliag an ardent with, and pofitive•
ly requiring that all th..: State, and particu-
larly thole Mho ar: intel-efled in the relations
of the Equellian will concert among
thernicives and detetucr,e, above all, in the molt
inecife manner, by means of a regular deliber-
ation of the Diet, the general principles to be obferv-
ed in regard to theft relations, as is reittired by the
circuital rights of chore interelled by the new lima-
tint; of the Empire, and the need of coat:44'6og

- ,
mare and WON its internal (mit, that thole who are
injured may regulate their condua accordingly
L—
and that the States between whom differences have
arifen, may terminate them in an amicable manner,
according to this baGs. • •

"His ihjeur, in judging this meafure effential
for maintaining internal tranquility, mull require
alto, that in the interval, and nuil the diet has come
to Come determination, on this fubjed, the prefent
bias gale &all be provilionally maintained, with
refpeit to every thing hitherto done, in regard to the
poffeffions of the Eq,netkrian Order ; that in the
mean time the military detachments fhall be re-
called to their warms, the meafures of execu-
tion every where fofpended, and that the prefent Rate
ofxhings than receive no extent, in order that far-
ther collifions may be prevented.
" His Majefty, for theprefent, will abfkain from any
deduction on the principles to be eitablithed, and
will is no manner anticipate the future deliberations.
In the mean timi he will perlift in the principles
