• STUT rc ARV, OCTOBER 16.
The assembly of the States of Wurtemhttrg, now
igain called together, repaired yesterday in solemn
orocession to the. Lutheran and Catholic Church, to
at;end divine worship, in common, according to the
ites of each relio,ion„ In the first sitting', the (ol-
lowing Royal Rescript was• read, and a future day
for the consideration of it fixed :
" Fa►:netetctt,hy the grace of Goo, King of Wurtemburg, &e.
subjects—By
" Dear and !aithfal our, Rescript of the :list 01
July, we narde known to you, that the new Convocation of the
3,a1..5,
,their proroga.lon had been put off by ui tili the pe-
riod Me. n, etvr having made the necessary enquirle s, we should
1).1 able to make known to the States our resolution concerning
the griev,..iccs which they have laid before us.
" As soon a: there appeared a hope, that the labours under-
taken on this a-c.eunt might be chiefly terminated, we have not
hesitated to :all you tegether win, and we sliall..conentunicate
to )nu wiccessiv,dy, and at short intervals, our resolutions rela-
tive to Vie several •Atjects of your complaints. The prorogation
of Ede Dbt havirg caused an interruption of the negociations
with our ite,y el Commissioners, and, we intending that these ne-
terciatioas s'*.ell he continued, we have again examined into their
com-se lithertee, and the causes of their slow progress. You
st,itt to leave b; en of opinion, that when the first question is of a
cenventkrial a:ereerlent, the principle of the leeeal claim of Old
and :.Zs.v Wore obterg to the ancient cons itution must be esta-
l.lisoed. '1 lie establ;shing of this prociple would render evcry
arlreeent nt impussihie, since by thus that which can only
te.t sense. ley tiegociations %s link: he granted before-hand without
dizeile:•, and We siera'd el. clan. users Ives bound to apply to
New Whr't.'nebette;, that which consider as defective in Ohl
fit. ore ohurg, and to wlseb, according to our liens conviction,

or cannot be bound.
" If we were even convinced, that the arguments upon which
you found the claims ot all nll' inherited subjects, to the I,u:to-
tal stair of things, according to former conventions, were °blip-
testy for tip, whieh is no, the ease, we noglit, tiotwithetandiog,
.asi.y consent to ns re-e-rabl.shilient, with the e7.ception of p
tiai rovisions touched upon by the States thems.lves, if the
qu,stion were only respec• irg the Old States It is also, by no
means our intention to di-regard the former legal relations ot the
newly acquired States, so far as they have not suffered a inces•
nary change by coming under the dominion of Wortentborg
hut as in the case b. tore us, the question cannot be to settle the
administration of the government in all the different province.
of which the new Kingdom consists, according to their particu-
lar, very diff• rent constitutional forms; and as we are convinced
that you cannot reconcile your duty to your constituents with
such a state of things, which would be highly injunnos both to
the Sovereign and the Stave, avid cramping all the powers of a
good government, we confidesoly promise ourself, that you will
readily concur in framing by common agreement, for the whole
kingdom, a constitution, which shall be equally suitable to the
ancient and new relations. We, on oar side, that make no
thiliculty in retaining from die ancient constitution, which placed
us in such near connection with the former covittition of the
empire, and was wholy founded upon it, eve' y thing that can at
all be dapted to the present circumstances, and which is not
contrary to the enlightened principles of a good goveroment.
But as you have )ours, lees acknowl-dged, that some modifica-
tions of that Constitution are necesszry, eqricially in respect of
the Nobility, the Religions Institution's, &c. so we arse think
ourself entitled to reserve the r.ght of enforcing by way of ne-
relation, some provisions which may be requ•red by the good
et the whole, aid the efficient mark of the administration.
" After this open declaration, by which every diffictill in re-
gard to the principle of right, is wholly removed, we graciously
tine to our most faithful :states, that they will now fix their un-
deviatnig ince:won upon the true intereA of the Sovereign and
of :he Stare, ..ntl will g.ve their Plenipotentiaries such ittattLlC-
dons that they may meet our paternal inventions, and an agree
meat be made vand for the whole, which may es ;Nish upon
Jul able fountlatious, ;he ailvanta,;eui the and of ele coun-

cause yot:r Coaltni,sioners appoirrel ro nei;oc..vve with ours, to

graciou.ly pleased to ad.l one to time Humber ot our

ROME, SEP FEMUR 25.
Locien Bon.spat to arrived here three days ago from
the citadel of Turin, accompanied by a Picdmontese
Officer; and according to a resolution of the Allied
Sovereigns f;ivi•ir from Paris, he is now quite at li-
berty. The di tree concerning him, signed by Lord
Castlereagh, Count Nesselrode, and Prince Harden-
berg, is tie.irly as follows :
The Allied Powers have no objection to Lucien
ainaparte's freely returning to the dominions of the
Pope, provided the Roman Government engages not
to let him, or toe member' of his family, escape be-
yond the frontiers of the Roman States." His for-
'Deily splendid house is not again to be open to com-
pany. The Princess Paulina 13orghese, Napoleon's
sister, is also expected at Rome, and money has al-
ready been placed it her disposal in the house of
Torloni4. It is said that she will apply to justice for
the restitution of her marriage portion, which .she
estimates at several million.; of francs, by her hus-
band, who lives separated from her ; while, on the
other hand, Prince Borghese sets up a counter claim
for jewels, &c. presented to her.
The Emperor of Austria, by official letter; from
Paris, will arrive at Rome with the Empress 'and
Crown Prince at the end of November. Great pre--
!mations are consequently making in the Papal Pa-
lace upon Monte Cavello. The accounts which the
Papal Court receives from different parts of Italy are
not all equally favourable. At Florence the Go-
vernment seems by no means disposed to satisfy all
our demands, and the re-introduction of the Mort-
main, the Eccles;astical Orders, &c. meets with op-
position and difficulties. In Tuscany, they would
wish to profit by the experience which the world has
had ; here the opinion is predominant, that what is
old, is indisiutably the best. In the Sardinian States
lull justice is done, to this last principle of the Papal
See ; the monks and nuns are every way protected.
,Some public and useful establishments have been
forced to be speedily evacuated in order to make
way for them ; as for example, a cloth manufactory
for the Capuchins, and a most valuable cotton-yarn
manufactory for some pious old virgins.
I...qters from Corsica say that Murat, when he left
Viscovalo to mire to a point in the interior, which he
considers more easy to be defended, had with him
thiee nr four hundred men, commanded by two for-
ms Neapolitan Generals. The English, who sent a
frigate from Leghorn to reconnoitre, consider the
whole enterprise as of little importance.
BASLE, OCTOBER 14.
On Wednesday, the 18th of October, a beginning
will be made to blow up the walls of Huninguen.
Thus the anniversary at the mem,rably battle of
Leipssg is destined for the destruction of a fortress
which has been so detranentsrl to our city, and, as
long as it stood, was an obstacle to the neutrality of
Switzerland, which never could be fully observed
while we were under the cannon of Huninguen ; but
now that Hurinsgtiera is ternoved, and Vet SOIX incor-
porated with our country, the greatest hindrances are
r-moved, and Switzerland, under the protection of a
guaranteed and lasting neutf-ality, will be able to
look with trpshillity and in peace .to future political
