THE JEWS.

The Ma/tient, of Sept. a 3, gives an account of the
proceedings ref-peeing the Jewifh Alrembly, of which
the following is an abliraft.
The (peed) of the Emperor's Commiffinners to the
Jewifh Afrembly, after fignifying his Majelly's ap.
probation of their anfwers, and referring to the re.
volution which menaced to (wallow up religious
thrones and empires, but the evils infliStd by which
bad been repaired by one man, proceeds to obfei ye,
that the Jews, overwhelmed by the contempt of na-
tions, and often the objea of the avarice of love-
reigns, have not hitherto been treated with jutlice
and then dates the following propofhion on the part
of his Imperial Majefly :

• It la the with of his Majefly that there Mould remain no en-
core to ante who will not become citizens. Hr laurels to you
the ,roe esthetic of your religion, and the full enjoyment of your
panic.' rights; but in return fa the augat proteellon which he
grants ynia, Maenads a religious guarantee for the entire aderv•
asset of the prinapies announced in your anfwers. 'I his AlTem.

la order that the hiilory of Wesel may fruit of an Arent?)ly
lovefted with an authority capable of product., the Welts which
we taped, there molt he a trend Sanhedrin It Is a Uran.l den-
hedrin which his Manny now pupae-a to eenvoite. This Ai-
knthiy, which fell with the Temple, will thus reappear to en-
Steven every when the people whom it gamma It will thug te-
ller, the true fpirit of your law, and give an explanation CIIIU-
Wed so pot an cod In all UTOIIOIAIS Interpretation. It will call
upon the JewiOt people to love and to defend the country which
they inhahlt, and will reach than, that ail the fentiments which
attaelteu them to their ancient country, are due, where, for
the heft time fince the ruin of their nation they can elevate their
juke.

The fpeecb then goes nn to prnpnfe, that accord•
in g to ancient nfage the Grand Ssnisedria (hall con.
of 66 Members, exeluhre of the Prelidenr, two
thirds to be Robbins, including thole prefent,the other
third to be chofen by the Affembly by keret fcrutiny,
that the prefent Affembly is to continue as long as
the Grand Sanhed, in (hall remain affernbled,end that
a Committee of nine Men hers mould be appointed to
arrange the fubjels for difcrilEon in the Sanhedrin.
Lailly, the Affembly is rarefied to announce the
convocation of the Sanhedrin to all the Synagogues
in Europe.
The Prefideut of the Affembly, M. Fortado, in
his In(wer, after paying compliments to the Empc-
sae, lamming the fallen Rate of the Jews, and es.
pnd;ng &anise that no Prince bad until now taken
any Reps to amel,rare their condition, proceeds to
obferve on the inconveniencies arifing from the divi-
fion of essch religion into different fells, and that
each noght to prefent to the Sovereign a refponfibi-
lity and as means of foperhatcndance, for which

'ratans there fhould be perffts appointed to Rudy its
principles and preferve its purity, of which they
fhould be the depofitaries and the guardians. He
then Rates,that the explanation of the dogmas of the
Jewifh religion, given by the Affembly, had proved,
that there was nothing either in its principles or its
peaelice which could jollify the exclufion of the Jews
from the enjoyment of the civil and political rights of
Frenchmen. He concludes by expreffing great ap
probation of the propofition for convoking the Grand
Sanhedrin.
[The refolutions which were, in confeqoence of
this communication, adopted by the Alterably, for
the convocation of the Grand Sanhedrin, we gave on
Toefday.]
