GERMANY.

They write from Mayence, June 18th:—" New
troops arrive continually in the Rhenish Provinces;
a great part of these troops upon Hundsruck
where at this moment is found especially much
artillery. After the corps which are in West-
phalia shall have crossed the Rhine, the Prussian
army will reckon 170,000 men. If to these is
added the Dutch Army, 100,000 strong, and the
Germanic contingencies, the allied army of the
North will amount to more than 300,000 warriors.
In the German Troops, especially amongst the
Prussians, there prevails a warlike spirit which
is manifested by songs of war. At the entrance of
a regiment of Austrian Hulans, the inhabitance of
Mayence heard with pleasure these military songs,
is Lich awakened still more the martial spirit of the
singers."— Gazette d'Au sbourg.

ST. PETER/BURGH, JUNE 18.—General Count
Toll has sent the following details of the illness of
Field Marshal Deibitsch "In the morning of the
28th May (9th June) the Field Marshal had felt
himself unwell, but during the whole day he ap-
peared to be in good health, had eaten, and seemed
in good spirits as usual, and there was nothing
that excited any apprehensions for his health.
In the evening he went to bed at 10 o'clock, as be
had been used to do for some days past He was
soon called up to attend some business, and still ap-
peared quite well. About two o'clock in the morn-
ing he suddenly felt indisposed, and called to his at-
tendants, but forbade to awake any body, or even to
fetch a physician : it was not till past 3 o'clock
that finding himself grow worse, he ordered M.
Schegel, physician in ordinary to the Emperor, to
be called out, desired that nobody else should be
disturbed ; when the doctor came he saw symp-
toms of cholera, which soon became very violent.
The severe attacks which usually accompany
this disorder, last several hours. The patient
was immediately bled, leeches were applied,
and very strong friction employed, in short no
means that might afford relief, was neglected.
The Field Marshal, retaining all his presence of
mind, ordered every person, except the medical
attendants, to' quit the room, for fear of their
taking the contagion. About seven o'clock, the
physicians snceeeded in producing perspiration, and
the patient became rather more easy. Up to this
moment the cramp had been but slight, and the pa-
tient suffered only from the alternate fits of
shivering and burning heat. Between seven and
eight o'clock, cramp commenced in the legs, and
in the internal parts of the body, and the inter-
mitting pains, which seemed insupportable, con-
tinued till near ten o'clock, when the groans of the
patient became less frequent,but his vital powers evi-
dently diminished : the breathing became more and
more difficult, the patient soon fell into a kind of le-
thargy scarcely interrupted by the unfrequent mo-
tion of the head—the eye-sight failed : at a quar-
ter past 11 the irreparable loss which we have
sustained took place. Divine Providence in its in-
scrutable decrees, bad deprived the army of its
illustrious commander.—Journal of St. Peters-
burg, June 18.

THE BELGIAN PROTEST.

The following protest has been published in the
newspapers, and forme the source of the observa-
tions of all classes, as containing the grounds of
opposition to the reception of Prince Leopold as
King :

" Considering that by the terms of the Ist article of the
Constitution the territory of Belgium comprehends the pro-
vinces of Antwerp. Brabant, West Flanders, Hainault,
Liege, Limberg, Luxemburg, and Namur, with the excep-
tion of the telatlons of Luxemburg with the German Confe-
deration;—that according to the 80th article of the Consti-
tution the King does not take possession of the throne
until after having taken the oath to maintain the nation'►]
independence and the integrity of the territory;—that it
was under those express conditions that the crown was
offered to the Prince of Saxe Coburg ;—that, in reality,
the decree of the 4th of June instant, contains textually
the words—' that His Royal Highness Leopold George
Christian Frederick, Prince of Coburg, la proclaimed
King of the Belgians, on condition of accepting the
constitution, such as it was decreed by the National
Coupes, e—that the acceptance given by the Prince is
subordinate to conditions diametrically opposite to the
aforesaid arrangements, since he requires, before he comes
to take possession of the throne, the previous adhesion of the
Congress to sacrifices which would deprive Belgium of a part
of her territory ;—that if, by an impossibility, the Congress
should be able to lose sight of the object of its formation, to
the point of consenting to the propositions offered to it by the
five Powers, and to the decisions referred to by the Prince, it
would follow that its election would be radially null, inas-
much as persons foreign to Belgium, thus mutilated, would
have taken part as members of the Congress; the under.
signed, as members of the National Congress of Belgium,
protest solemnly against the introduction into delibera-
tion of any proposition which might tend to do injury to the
integrity of the territory, such as was fixed by the Belgian
Constitution ; they protest specially against all adhesion,
directly or indirectly, to the protocols and propositions origi-
nating from the Conference of London. Acting thus, the
undersigned solely follow the impulse of their conscience
they are persuaded that they fulfil a sacred duty. The pre-
sent protest shall be deposed on the bureau of the Congress,
to be read in public sitting.—Brussels, June 29, 1831."
