uneaaditionally respired by eissegr se sfretuitstseces, sad the
principles tit tolitical wisdom: in se case we grew, as you re-
quire we almuld, in respect to the Hereditary States, to a more
general recognition of the ancient coMpacw, without a detailed
account of their contents. One of the consequences of the abo-
lished German Constitution makes this necessary. As there is
now between the 'Monarch and. the People, in the persons of
it Repri sent atis. es. no longer any judge, who, in case of any die-
mite in matter cif right, could put an end to it, it must be an
inevitable regaisite that the contents of the old compacts, dis-
persed in so inany document*, and often of dubious impost,
sLuuld he hilly and clearly developed in one document, that the
art:cies of the political compact may be no longer the exclusive
0-01 erty of a few, but may become one common pouession of

people.
little can we consent, in respect of the New States, that
these shall remain divided in their highly differeut political MIS-
Cons. late should therefore have the right and, the obligatiou
to
unite tie single newly acquired countries by a new Constitution,
I.lying a : possible regard to their former legal relations; and in
this mew Colima:mon place would be found fur the Princes and
Counts sehjected to one sovereigoty, and for the Nobility for-
merly belonging to the Knights of the Empire, so far as they
did nut originally h. hung to the old Nobility of the Hereditary
States* while we shuttle], at the sante time, pay attiaation to the
advantnee derived tram the new relations.
But at this moment the qncation is nut the lateral re-establish-
ment of the butler political tights either of oar Old or New
States; the. question is of a Constitution which shalt hem:dumb
combine in one whole, by means of a compact, the countries that
have hitherto been only de facto united; the question is of a po-
litical compact, in which the esseinia rights of the People, as
well as the essential rights of the Sovereign, shall be fixed and
secured. As we will not force upon you this Constitution cotn•
mon to all parts of our kingdom, you cannot maintain, as you
direspectfully wish to do, that we thereby forcibly deprive our
rabbits' subjects of their ancient political rit;ltts. We have never
questioned the internal validity of the ancient compacts, but
0,4, as we still do, the external applicability of them in their
lull extent, at a time when every thing has taken a new form.
It is therefore a groundless assertion when you would attribute to
us the intention of making a compromise upon the former
pali-
relations. it Is only in case the compact for a common Con-
stitution (from which, if it is once concluded, neither party can
deviate upon any pretext whatsoever, without the consent of the
other party,) should not he brought about that there can be a
question of restoring the ancient political relations; and at the
same time also, the question in what they properly consisted, and
what modtcations ut them are required by the nature and changed
circumstances of the State. Far as we era from being blind to the
greatness of the misfortune which would arise both for the Go.
vernmeut and the country, by the failure of accomplishing a
union by way of compact, we can yet not conceal from you that
this misfortune Is inevitable, if you should further refute to enter
upon negotiations for a Conatitutional Compact, common to the
whov kingdom. In this uunapvy case we are irrevocably re-
solved, much as it opposes our pretend intentims, which are de-
voted to the good ut all our subject., to Introduce into our here-
ditary States the old Coustitutinn, with the Representation, as
cording to the original term ; but to give our new :tetra, on the
contrary, a Constitution, tounded on a line of national represen•
cation, and having due regard to the former political relations.
.11itt to give rot an incontestible proof with what truly pater-
nal sentiments we enter upon these negociations, we constuutit-
tate to you in a second Suiipletant (E.) already published, cer-
tido fundamental valuta, which cannot but appear to any impar-
tial person as adavted to serve as a basis tor to -ociations upon
a good Constitutio.i. '1 hey bear in themselves the guarantee of
a happy result, and sLould the negotiations fail notwithstanding,
not only our people, but all Europe, will testily that elle cause of
tile failure is not to be attributed •o us.
As we, besides this, repeat the decimation so often made, that
you tltati be fire to purpose to our Royal Conmussioners, ex-
pressly instructed to that effect, every article in the ancient com-
pacts which you may judge to be essential, or even desitablo for
r. caption into the new Constitution, and to make It an object of
negotiation ; as we repeat the so omen given assurance, coat we
will readily adopt all such propositions as are any wise compati-
ble with the welfare of the State ; the double apprehension is
hereby removed, which you express, as it you would be merely
led by the neguciations into what you all the labyrinth of na-
ture: law, and as if by this new compact the nation might lout
its II storiesl existeece which however is only acquired and be-
comes such by a gradual transition irons au old to a taw state
of thing..
Atter all these considerations, we must now expect with cer-
tainty that you will, on your side, meet our patental inteotions
by opening the negociattens without delay, uin duty bound,
and will not compel us to renounce the belie' that we behold in
you real well disposed representatives of our beloved people, and
should we be forced to give up this belief, to take our measures
accordingly, and softer the unhappy separation to be really ef-
fected. By his Majesty's command.

VIENNA, NOVEhIBER 13.

The Austrian Oiler:Per quotes an article from the
Strarburg Gazette which is directed against certain
German papers which seem to take delight in mis-
representing the state of France, as if the people were
not devoted to the Sovereign and were menaced with
intestine dissentious and a :evolution. The Austrian
Narver acknowledges the justice of the remark, and
says, that in fact the tone of some -German papers
would induce a belief that they wire the productions
' of an Anacharsis Cloots, a Barrere, a Thomas Paine,
or even of a Robespierre or a Murat, who had always
•• the Rights of Man and the Sovereignty of the Peo-
ple" on du it lips, while they trample every right
under foot. The same is the case with their worthy
imitators and successors who began to follow their
footsteps in Germany and elsewhere.
The sight of France, happy and
.tranquil under
its legitimate Sovereign, is an eye-sore to the distur-
bers of public ordcr. They are, therefore, so active in
spreading acconntb from their correspondents at Paris,
who are as malicious as themselves, of fire glimmer-
ing under the ashes through all France, of elements
of fermentation every where spread, and that only a
small shock is warning to overturn an old patched up
edifice and to substitute in its room what they them-
selves hypocritically condemned under the tyranny
of Napoleon, by the name of humans, popular, and
Jaffa! ideas.
As it has not escaped their artful penetration that
many tionout able and distinguished men who have
retained the purity of their intentions during all the
political storms, or that others who have repented of
a short infatuation have again embraced that faith
and that obedience which one of our political writer.
so well represents as the source of morality and social
order, they try on all occasions to represent this en-
lightened spirit of peace and mildneas as a spirit of 1
darkness, whose influence must spread upon the earth
persecution, war, and fanaticism.
It any Sovereign, particularly -one of those who,
! after an unjust usurpation, have re-xscended their,
throne, commits the slightest fault, which may be
i most easily excused on the score of human weakness,
. or if he takes any measures-laudable in themselves,
L and which shock but these proud sages of our age,
they immediately fall upon him with malicious joy,
mutualiy communicating to each other this conduct,
spreading abroad in their journals that the good of
humanity, the rights of the people, the security of
states are in danger, because one of those sovereigns
has dared to re-establish some ancient office car title
which had existed tor centuries at his court, and so
whiCh were ;Mulled ancient recollections of happier
times.
On the contrary they exalt with the greatest praises
every thing great and sublime which the revolution,
according to them, Inns produced : and Out very
lately at was asserted in a German Journal of this

school, " tlMat Ole AC-et:toured -M4OO was the
symbol of the:good which the revolution had pro-
duced, and its honourable trophy, while the white-
cockade recalled the counter-revolution, the tatters,
the feudal rights, the privileges of the nobility, and
the party of Coblentz."
So much to characterise the spirit of those Gentle-
then for the present ; they will doubtless give us oc-
cashm to take further notice of them.

THE TREATIES.

FRENCH CHAMBER OF PEERs.

SITTINGS OF 6ATUIIDAYS NOVEMBER 25.

ri.;"

The Gnancluott President. At eleven o'clock
the Chamber met, in consequence of a summons
made by order of the President. The object of the
convocation Is to receive a communication which is
to be made to the Chambers by the King's Mi-
nisters, in the name of his Majesty. The Minis-
ter of the King, Secretaries of State in the different
departments of Justice, Foreign Affairs, of the Inte-
rior, of War, of the Marine, and the Finances, are in-
troduced, and take their usual places opposite the bar.
The Duke of Richelieu, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
President of the Council of Ministers, having obtained
leave t.- speak, expressed himself in these terms:
64 GINTLIIIIN—The King has ordered us to com-
municate to the Chamber the Act which has been so
long expected with such eager impatience, and by
which, after eight months of disorders, alarms, and
calamities without bounds, which have terrified
Europe, and afflicted France, the system of our poll.
tical relations with Foreign States ana Sovereigns, is
definitively established. lam going, Gentlemen, to
read to you this Act:
" The Allied Powers_ having by their exertions,'
and the triumph of their arms, pteserved France and
Europe from the convulsions with which they were
threatened by the late enterprize of Napoleon Bona-
parte, and by the revolutionary system introduced
into France for its support;

44 As they tow participate with his Most Christian
Majesty in the wish by the inviolable maintenance of
Royal Dignity, and by restoring the val Pity of the
Constitutional Charter, to confirm the order happily
reestablished in Franc 4, and to bring back between
France and its neighly:urs those relations founded
upon reciprocal cetitideace and goad will, which the
mournful consequences of the Revolution and system
of conquest had so long interrupted : and as they
are convinced that their last object cannot be attained
except by an arrangement calculated to give them
just indemnity for the past, and sllid security for the
future—They have, nerefore, in common with his

Majesty the King of France, deliberated on the
means of bringing about such an arrangement ; and
as they have convinced themselves that the indem-
nities due to the Powers cannot consist wholly either
in cessions of territory or in pecuniary payments,
without greatly inju-:ing the e. santiAl intervals of
France in one way or the other, and that it is better
so to unite them as to avoid both disadvantages.
" Their Imperial and Royal I'4.lj...ties have there-
fore taken this as the basis of the present negociations,
and have also agreed upon it as a basis, that it is ne-
cessary, during a certain time, v., keep the frontier
Provinces of France occupied by a certain number of
the-Allied troops; and have agreed to unite in a de-
finitive Treaty the several dispositions founded upon
these bases.
" In this view, and to this end, his Majesty the
King of Great Britain and Hanover, for himself and
his Allies on one side, and his Majesty the King of
France and Navarre on the other side, have appoint-
ed for their Plenipotentiaries to discuss, agree on,
and sign the Definitive Treaty.--( Here are the names
of the Ministers.) Their full power having been ex-
changed and found in due order, have signed the
following Articles :
