so We beg all the tiaitOis of "PUblic Journals in'
detrain'', to whom the fate of an unhappy German
City is not indifferent, to insert the Advertisement of
the Grand Ducal Commission of Government, prin-
ted in our last Number that our fellow-citizens may
' at least have the consolation that the ;dimity knows
what they must do, and what they have long done,
for the general interest of the German Confederation.
Perhaps this may lead to the question, whether it be
conformable to the dignity and the interest of the
nation that its chief bulwark should be peopled with
beggars? Why shall not the Sun of Peace not shine
upon Mentz shine ? Whence does it arise that all
the exertioni.of ,oui Government, that even the ha-
mane intersessifins, of the chief military authorities,
are of no avail for a city whose inconsiderable trade
has been lessened by the loss of a staple right. When it
denied to be the residence of a Prince and a much..
frequented. University, had no means of existence but
what were derived from its garrison, and which now,
exhausted by contributions, which only a state of open•
war can excuse, but not justify, .has no resource left
to repair the loss of its prosperity. ' We are unable
to answer these questions ourselves, and our tesigaled
submission to an unreasonable necessity gists us* ist.
least a right to relief, after three years suatifigs.*

DISCONTENT OP THE PRUSSIAN RHINE PROVINCES.
(From a German Paper.)
N In the New Rhenish Mercury, published at Offen-
bach, there is an article from the Lower Rhine, which
has be n Copied into several Journals. Among other
things it is saidin it-0 the inhabitants of the Prue-
'Lint Provinces of the Rhine ate still far from Prussia
in their sentiments. Many believe that the principal
cause of this, is the difference of religion. It is very
tette, that may partly be the case, but the divatisfac-
tion is much more to be ascribed to the provisional
condition in 'Which these Lands: are still kept. A curse
is certainly attached to the Provisional condition !
We still have the very expensive French Procedure,
and our high taxes are still undiminished. Since the
first of April, no doubt.the Government have entered
on their duties, and with many individuals of them,
especially with the Presidents and Directors, people
are very well satisfied. Among the subalterns also,
there are many young men of acquirements, of whom
great expectations are entertained : but in the several
Departments, we yet see very little activity on the
past of the Governments; and the complicated and
formal system in which the substance is often sacti-
' ficed to etiquette, is particularly dreaded.
ag We were here, under the French Constitution, ac-
customed to a very 'Ample, rapid, nay, often too
ra?id progress in business, so that we are doubly
struck with the present formilities, and the tedious
procedure to which it gives rise. In like manner,
We are accustomed to be diunitsed with reasons, and
at present a petition is often summarily refused' with.
a coo pli of words. Moreover, no permanent Provin-
cial Councils are named, but merely Provisory Pont-
miuionets of Circles, who are not certain of their
places, a circumstance which gives rise to many un-
pleasant consequelkes. We are especially uneasy'at
the report, that only Nobles would be appointed an,
Provincial Counsellors. Few of the Nobles ariri
trainekto business, and we ate afraid that they would'
have their own interest in view gore than that of the
citizens or peasaetty. It is said here that in Prussia,
the Nobles are every where getting the upper, hand
again, and wish that their old ascendancy should
every where be.admitted. Even supposing this not
to be the case, It is at all events unfortunate that this
should be the pitiblic opinion. It is certain that in all
the distinguished and important offices, nothing but
Nobles are tribe seen.—Among us the Citizen and
yeoman hart learned to know and to prize their
rights. and ibis is therefote a very ticklish
unwell for
the Citizen, and Yeoman. While we ateing
to brook and unfair ascendancy, we are still willing
to' honour reel merit in the Nobility. Finally, the
publication Of a Regulation of Censure by the Co-
Wentz Goveritksent, according to which every thing
printed had first to be sent to the Censors, excited no
small degree of discontent. •
to another article from the Rhine, in which the dis-
conceals allowed to exist, the writer combats the
'pinion that it is principally owing to the entjaeredue-

of Correctional Police, on a charge of having falsified
' the King's speech pronounced by him on .the 16th of
March, 1815, at a sitting of the Chamber of Repo

And made such additions and alterations as they,
thought proper, as if it had been delivered by his
Majesty on the 31st of July, 1816; of having made
this speech a preamble to the administration of the
oaths to the Marshals ott the 31st of July lasts and
of having thus spread alarming news, by endeavour-
ing to induce the belief that the situation of the king-
dom was the same on the 31st of July, 1816, as on
the 16th of March, 1815, during the invasion of the
Usurper. The charge was proved, and Gelion was
sentenced to two years imprisonment, Chassaignon to
six months, and Gaillard to three months. All three
together were fined 5000 francs.
Extract of a letter from Niort, dated Nov. 16
" After a day rather moist than cold there fell here,
in the night of the 10th instant, a great quantity of
snow; a phenomenon the more surprising, as many
years sometimes pass here without our seeing any
snow; and when it does fall it falls in small quanti-
ties in the months of December and January. The
night following it thundered and rained a great deal.
A circumstance not less singular is, that we see at
present in several gardens of this.city a great many
spring flowers in full blow."

1818 and 1814, lately, in one of his sermons, recalled

peared in the roads .in want of every thing, and re-
duced to a small allowance. •

The following is an extract of a recent letter from
Fouche :—" I bare just perused M.. de Chateau.
briand's pamphlet. I shall hereafter reply to that..
part of its contents which relates to myself. I shall
rectify such facts as he has misrepresented, and
bring to his recollection such as he appears to have
forgotten. He suggested to me, for instance, the
propriety of my placing myself at thh head of the
Ministrya by uniting the Foreign with the Police
Department. It is true that the possession of the
Home Department, or at least that of a Ministry ofi
Arts for himself, formed an essential part of his Mi-
nisterial plan. . . . It is not sur.l
prising that M. de Chateaubriand should be unable
to form a right opinion of events, since he confesses
himself, that he only viewed them from the anti-
chamber of the King. •
