Ty a German Mail we have received Nuremberg
r..:ers to the Ist instant, and Frankfort Journals
to :he 4th. They state that the approaching Diet of
s • ;:-..eiland will be called upon to deliberate on the
r,,, oition of M. ZEA, .the Envoy of the new Co-
lumbian Republic, for establishing a commercial
i.tescourse between his country and Switzerland.

r sops were concerned, and that only a few Janissaries
woe ielt for the present. According to these papers,
Provincial Director of the Police at Modena,
Julio Besini, has been murdered by two un-
-I.lAvn assassins; and a young man of Cesena, named
c adeo, has also been killed by the Carbonari, it is
iiGed, because he had withdrawn from the Society
in consequence of the recent Bull of his Holiness
f.ascribing the sect. Notices are also said to have
Even posted up in Cesena, threatening all who may
N:::-.draw from the association with the fate of Cru-
ai, in Whose mangled body, it is affirmed, were
f,a;id two daggers sticking, which, it is said, were
=.::-Lesi with the secret signs of Cubonarism.

A curious document, relative to the views and pro-
te2.lings of Au,stria.with regard to the German Diet,

got into extensive circulation and excited consi-
derable uneasiness among the lesser German States.
It purpo: is to be a dispatch lately transmitted by an
kstr:.in General, yon flora Frankfort to his
Cart at Vienna. - It begins by stating the somewhat
sta:tli;ig and unexpected fact, that the majority of
the Germanic Diet le.goiterkisl by a spirit of contra-
diction to the greater'Powers, andthat this spirit ma-
tilests itself under two different shapes, both equally
inclined to Liberalism—namely, (what he calls) lega-
lity and nationality. Like a true courtier, he expresses
a incere abhorrence at the first shape of Liberalism,
slich would set up laws and institutions againit
ex-
lediency and power, and would render the manage-
ment of the Diet a matter of delicacy and difficulty.
—Persons actuated by this unreasonable and perverse
spirit of opposition (be complains) discuss every- mat-
ter so minutely, refer to first principles so constantly,
an?, insist so vehemently on the literal interpretation
of the Law and the Constitution, that it is not safel
to submit to them any proposition which is not sup'.
Forted by the strong-ea proofs. Knowing the effect
t: names in exciting prejudice, the General designates
this troublesome class of politicians sophists; and re-
presents them as actuated in this captious behaviour,
rather by a desire to embarrass the great members
of the Confederacy, than by a real wish to support
the cause which they pretend to espouse.
The next shape in which Liberalism appears, ac-
cording to the Austrian military politician, is that
of nationality, the effect of which is to reconcile con-
flicting interests among the smaller States, and to
create a kind of internal or minor confederacy. The
Delegates from those States seem to believe that by
a closer union they can erect the German people
into a nation, and bring the force of public opinion
to obstruct the influence of the great Powers in the
internal affairs of the minor States. That such an
opinion does prevail among the minor German States
is unquestionable. A great part of the youth of Ger-
many, the most stirring spirits in the Universities and
seminaries of learning—the great portion of those
who rose to expel the Preech in 1813, and gave to the
Holy Alliance all its powers of interference and coer-
cion, have their view directed to the establishment of
a German nation, dropping the petty distinctions
Austrian, Prussian, Bavarian, and all the other
divisions which weaken their poser, and endanger
their independence.
Having thus laid down the principles of Liberalism,
which, of course, he condemns, the General next
proceeds to a classification or the members of the
)iet, whom he divides into two parties, Idealists and
Itealids, and concludes by giving his recipe for the
'evil, which is a purifying of the Diet. For effecting
this object, he urges the necessity of Austria and
Prussia taking measures in succession to immure the
7ecal of the obnoxious Envoys. At the same time,
t.e advises caution in these proceedings, as Bavaria,
being much attached to independence, might sound
an alarm, and would be aopported by a powerful
faction.. The Bavarian Government must therefore be
prudently gained 'over to this system of elimination.
This, however, it is thought, will be easily accom-
plished by -workin,g on the fears of the Bavarian Mi-
nister, RlCif}32lW, who, according to our General, is
a thorough alarmist, and to whom, itt his diplotnatie
•opinion, it is only necessary to exhibit the magic lan-
tern picture of a revolution, and Prince MartrenNten
