HANOVER, APRIL 3.

The Assembly of the States is near to its dissolu-
tion.--In the Sitting of to-day was read a communi-
cation from the Prince Regent, of the sth January
last, in which his Royal Highness declares his views
with respect to the future General Assembly of the
States, and requires the opinion of the Assembly.
In this communication his Royal Highness says—

" That it is not the plan to make great changes in
the Constitution, according to which the States have
the right to grant taxes and to share in the legisla-
tion, partly because experience has shewn the utility
of this ancient Constitution of the country, and partly
because Constitutions introduced upon merely theo-
retical principles will never be so advantageous as
those which have been gradually formed according
to the wants of the State." His Royal Highness ob-
serves, that as, according to the ancient Constitution,
the Provincial Assemblies are mostly divided into
two Curile, or Chambers, the General Assembly of
'the States of the Kingdom must also be divided in
the same manner. According to the plan, • the first
Chamber shall consist of the Mediatised Princes and
Counts, the Hereditary Land Marshal of the King-
dom, the Members of the Equestrian Order, who
after founding a Majorat of a certain extent have
obtained a vote, the President of the Chief Board of
Taxes, and the Presidents of the Provinces of Lune-
burg and Bremen. The 33 Deputies to be chosen
by the Equestrian Order, and the Catholic Bishops
and Protestant Abbots of the higher order.

In the Second Chamber will be the Members of the
Board of Taxes who are not noble, the thr,ee Depu-

ties from the

l' of Ecclesiastical Pro-

perty, the Deputies of the smaller Abbies, one De-
puty from the University of Gottingen, twenty-nine
from the Cities, and twenty-two from the possessors
of free estates who do not belong to the Equestrian
Order. The Hereditary Grand Marshal, and in his
absence the President of the Chief Board of Taxes,
I presides over the united Chambers. Each Chamber
proposes three of its Members, from whom the So-
vereign selects one to be its President. The Diet
meets every year. The Members are elected for six,
years, but may be re-elected. Nopersons will ever
be admitted to bray- the debates.

The propositions for the sovereign are to be ad.
dressed to both Chambers ; if their decisions do not
agree, a union is to be attempted by a Commission
chosen by both,, to which Commissioners from the
Sovereign may be added, to promote an agreement.
It is necessary in propositions from the State that
both Chambers should agree: the present Assembly
is invited to deliberate on this subject, after which it
will be dissolved.

with his MAJLETT. The Chamber afterwards re-
solved into Secret Committee.

M. LAINE submitted a propositicnt for an Address
to the King, requesting his Majesty to introduce a
law for the suppression of all duties upon wine ex-
ported.—M. CLAUSKL de CoNseacues made another
proposition for a law against duels. Both proposi-
tions were resolved to be taken into consideration, and
the Movers appointed to derelope the grounds of them
on Thursday.

All the Italian Journals received at Park continue
still silent as to the conspiracy, which was said to
have been detected, against the life of the Emperor
of Austria. The Gazette of Florence speaks on the
contrary of the joy with which his Majesty was
received on the 29th Maich, at Sienna, where he re-
paired with the Empress, on leaving Florence, and
of the fetes which were in prepar4tion, in honour of
his arrival.

An article from Manheim, of the 6th of April,
and another from Rastadt, of the '7th, state po-
sitively that Sand, the assassin of Koramint, still
lives, though all hopes of his final recovery are
gone. On the night of the sth he was transfer-
red from the Civil Hospital, where he was first
carried, to the adjoining. House of Correction.—
The preliminary precognition which had been taken
into the affair not appearing sufficient to the Autho
rities, a al Commission has been named, to in-
quire fart into it, composed of Judges of the first
rank, and presided by the Chancellor of the Superior
Aulic Tribunal, M. de Hohenhorts. In spite of the
pain he sufferi from his wounds, Sand still continues
tranquil, and exults in the success of his enterprise.
He persists in saying that be had no accomplices ; but
a circumstance has transpired which seems to indicate
otherwise. The keeper of the Inn where he put up
has deposed that another young man arrived along
with him ; but of this person no trace can now be
found. Several literary characters of Germany are
said to have since this fatal event received anonymous
letters, threatening them with similar vengeance.
A ship arrived at Leghorn from Tunis, reports
that, on leaving Tunis three months ago, the plague
was raging there with the utmost violence; the deaths
amounted to fifteen daily ; and in some of the little
villages around there was not a person left.

The following is an extract of a letter from the
Agent of the Russia Company in London, by which
it will be seen that the important reduction of 10 per
cen;, on all goods imported and exported from Rus-
sia has taken place :

" Petersburgh, FebnarS, 23.
44 An Ukase has been issued, directing, that in the
levying of duties in the different Custom-houses, for
the year 1819, the silver rouble shall be taken at three
roubles and 60 copiqucs,Bank-notes, which make a
reduction of 10 per cent. on the duties of all imports
and exports, excepting on those that pay ad valorem.
" Some persons having claimed the right to pay
duties on-goods imported last year, and still in the
Custom-house, at the new rate of three roubles and
60 copiques ; it has been- decided that the old duties
shall be charged on all goods which shall have been
received at any Custom-Louse, previous to the receipt
of the present order.
" I have further to announce, that the order from
the Department of Foreign COmmerct: to the Peter..-
burgh Custom-house, dated the Bth of February has
been made public, authorising the importation of runs
at the sartre duty as is levied on brandy and arras::,
viz. 10 roubles per anker (silver), and I hope to be
enabled to send a copy and translation of the Ukase
by an early conveyance.
" In the meantime it is necessary to understari
that the duty on all spirits is, levied according to tl-eir
strength, that thel.3west duty is 10 roubles per anger,
and if below, and not above what is here denomtna-
ted 10 degrees. If above 10. and not above 15 de•
gtees, is considered pure spirit, and pays 20 silver
roubles per anker."

By the arrival of the Hunter, from Rio Janeiro,
advices have been received,: tending to establish the
authenticity of the commercial arrariginient said to
have been agreed upon between 41eVutterny of*Lima,
and Captain SHERLTY, of the Andromache frig-at!,
and or which we have already communicated the
principal stipulations. .A Considerable trade was, in
consequence, 'carving on from Rio Janeiro to Val-
paraiso, in goods, of which a part was destined to be
forwarded to Lima ; and there. was not the least doubt
entertained but that ships belonging to the British
had access to the latter place. Therelad been a most
abundant supply tat specie ha the Brazils frork Chili
and. Buenos Ayres, but a considerable quantity of it
had been expiated td the East Indies from Rio Ja-
neiro. With regard to the subject of the diminution
of the duties oa British ships, the Portuguese Go-
vernment had not come to any deterMination. The
captures by Insurgent privateers were so frequent,
that a number of trading vessels %fere detained at
Rio Janeiro, Pernambuco, and other posts. The
squadron in search of them, which had been our
cruizing in January and February, had cleared the
seas of only a few of those which sailed badly.
