The Senate of Hamburgh has lately desired that all
citizens holding public offices shall be prohibited from
accepting from foreign Soveteigns any titles whatever,
even merely htinorary, such as Aulic or Privy Counsel-
sellor, Counsellor of Legation, ice. on pain of losing
their employments. It is supposed that the Senates of
the other free cities of Germany will follow their exam-
ple. A similar prohibition has for some time existed in
the Swiss Cantons, relative to foreign orders and titles.

Many of the Newspapers having lately filled their

titled PUBLIC CHARACTERS OF ALL NATIONS, recently
ptiblished in three volumes, containing particuiars of
8000 distinguished Natives and Foreigners, and illus-
trated with 150 striking Portraits.
