14ANKFORT. AUGUST so.
' In die 43d Sittiiig of the Diet, the President gave
in a proposition relative to the Matriculation, of
which the following is the substance having been
resolved, in the fifteenth and nineteenth Sittings, that
the population of the several States should be taken
as the basis, both of their contingent to the Army of
the Confederation, and to the common expenses (ex-
cept the expenses of the Chancery of the Confedera-
tion which are otherwise provided for), each Slate
has iieen called upon to give in a statement of its po-
pulation, (for which see the annexed Table.) This
official statement having been given in, the President
proposes that it shall be taken as the basis for five
years provisionally, as originally proposed, and that
a Committee be appointed in time to lay down the
principles of a definitive matriculation, to be intro-
duced at the expiration of those five years. The pro-
position was generally acceded to, the Saxon Am-
bassador only remarking, that on account of the ex-
traordinary population of the dominions of his Ma-
jesty the King of Saxony, the money contingent
would be too high, if determined by this basis.

RESOLUTION.
1. That the population stated by the Members of the Confe-
deration is provisionally assumed for the next bre years, as the
Matriculation of the Confederation, according to the provision-
.

any existing order of voting in pfrne, with the reserve of an ul-
terior determination for Ilease-Ilombourg.
9. This Matriculation avails as the rule both for the contin-
gents of troops and of money, with the sole exception of the ex-
pentets of the Chancery of the Confederation, which are provi-
ded for in a different manner.

3. The principles on which the definitive Matriculation to be
introduced after five years shall be founded will be reported by
a Committee to be appointed for the purpose. The Diet will
discuss it before the expiration of the five years, and agree in the
final Matriculation by an ulterior Resolution.

In another part of our Paper will be found some
account of yesterday's proceedings of " the Friends
of Radical Reform°---." the non-represented inhabi-
tants of London and Middlesex." The " Declaration
of Rights," with its Resolutions, and the " Remon-
strance," were of a character not fit for the columns
of any PAper which has even the smallest respect for
propriety or dTcorum. The latter, in particular;
contained expressions most grossly insolent to the
August Personage to whom it was addressed. It com-
menced by repeating a great part of the " Declara-
tion ;" then went on to enumerate what were termed
the abuses committed by the advisers of his Royal
Highness, and suggested the propriety of having
them all impeached ; and concluded by reminding
the PRINCE of the fate of CHARLES I. and JAMES 11.
which seemed to furnish practical evidence that there
were limits to the construction of the " absurd and
ridiculous maxim" that the King was not responsible
for the acts of his Ministers. Mr. HUNT had "no
doubt" that these documents would " appear in the
public Papers, with the comments of the hirelings of
Ministers." We have no doubt that they will not.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, which arrived this
forenoon, furnish us with some interesting extracts:

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4.

The Prince Augustus of Prussia, who is travelling
under the title of Count 111ansfeldt, was presented to-
day by his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador to
the King and Princes.
General Donadieu was interrogated on Thursday
as a witness in the affair of the prosecution against
General Camel.

On Tuesday last, at a quarter before ten in the
evening, as Colonel Dufay was entering the house in
which he resides, No. 7, Rue des Jenneurs, he was
attacked at the door, and stabbed with a stiletto in
the lower belly. The wound, though an inch broad
and two and a half deep, it is said, is not mortal—
the Colonel being indebted for his safety to his em-
bonpoint, and to the thickness of his dress, which di-
minished the effect of the blow. Two persons who
were seen about an hour before arc suspected to be
the authors of this odious crime.

[Colonel Dufay is the person, it will be recollected,
who killed Count St. Morys some time ago in a duel,
and who was lately acquitted from an action of slan-
der which was instituted against him by the widow
and daughter of the deceased Count.]
A lady of high distinction at the Court of Peters-
burgh, whose only son is an Officer in the Russian
corps of the Army of Occupation, applied to the Em-
peror Alexander for his leave of absence for a few
months; the Emperor replied, that under other cir-
cumstances he would have granted her request ; but
that, as the corps was to return from the French fron-
tiers in the course of the autumn, any leave of absence
which might be given would be of no advantage.
