The kingdom of Wurtessburg continues to excite
considerable interest : the new Kutch who was wan-
tonly and unfairly accused., at entering upon the. Go-
vernment, of cruelty to his bather PAvi, has released
that Prince from all restraint, who has taken firs de-
parture for another country. We have heard that'
this Prince PAUL inherited something more than the
sans of his uncle, the Emperor PauL, of eccentric
memory :—and that the personal restraint which his
father and brother were obliged to lay upon him, was
in fact an act of kindness and humanity. The States
of Wurtemburg still persist in their claims for further
privileges : they hive, in fact, already, all, the men,
tials of a free Constitution ; and this kingdom, in this
respect, is a political anomaly in Germany we wish
them success, so, long as they urge their claims with'
temper and moderation s of one thing we ere sure,
they have a Sovereign who will listen to them calmly
and dispassionately.
The Kingdom of Saxony has just afforded another
striking picture of the fermentations which it is
doomed to undergo in consequence of the obstinate
regard of its Sovereign for BONAPARTZ. The College
of Erfurt, once the pride of Germany as a seat of
learning, is no more I The funds for its support are
returned as and the materials of which it was
built are to be used in the Construction of a fortress;

FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 26.
His Royal Highness Prince Paul of Wurtemberg
arrived here yesterday, *ith the Princess his wife and
family. Their Highnesses are going to Henan,
where it is supposed they will reside. Baron Plessel,
Minister of the late Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, has
received new credentials from the Grand Duke now
reigning ; his Exiellency delivered them to the Diet
on the 18th. Several of the Petitions and Represen-
tations laid before the Diet have been already taken
into consideration and examined. Some, which it
was not competent to decide upon, have been sent
back, and the reasons for so doing assigned.
SAXONY, NON-EMBER so.
In consequence of an order given by his Majesty]
the 24th of September, at Toeplitx, the University
i
of Erfurt, which has subsisted ever since 1392, will
be suppressed. The reasons far this decision are, on
the one hand, the insufficiency of the funds which
were assigned to it; and, on the' other, the conver-
sion of the town into a fortress. The Professors re-
tain the whole of their salaries; and the funds of the
Universityire intended to ameliorate the public
schools at Erfurt.

STUTTOARD, NOVEMBER it. .
His Majesty the King has received a respectful
address from the Stater, in which they express 'their
wishes and their hopes that his Majesty will grant
them what the King, his father. constantly r;fu.ed.
There is, howevei, reason to suppose that the King
will not essentially deviate grout the course pursued
by his father.
if the only thing in question was the establishment
of a constitution for the ancient Duchy of Wurtem. ,
berg the object would easly be attained i it would be
sufficient to restore the ancient constitution with some
ameliorations; but, the acquisitions made since 1801
have augifented the present: Kingdom of Worteui-
berg by the half in extent. Of territory, and la point.
latton. With these new acquisitinns, which had va-
rious constitutions, and some of them none at all, the
Kingdom has also acquired a very numerous nobi!
whereas it had not any before 1801.
4 Before this epoch' the Duchy of Wurternberg hat,
a Representative Constitution without a Nobility.
This Nobility, among which are above twenty Prince!'
and Counts wpriwere formerly members of the Ger-
man Enrpire, 'who have 'acquired great influence in
the Assembly of the States,, is one of the obstacles
I to the introduction of 1 uniorm Constitution for the
whole kingdom of littirtemberg.
