CARLSRUHE, AUGUST e.
Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, a tempest
from the south-west passed over this city, accotnpa-
vied by such a storm of wind as was hardly ever re-
membered. A great quantity of tiles were tht own
from the houses, sentry boxes removed from their
'daces, the strongest trees uprooted. We do not
know bow far the ravages of this terrible storm may
have extended.

FRANKFORT, AUGUST S.
The protests against the sudden acceptance of the
Constitution of Frankfort multiply. The Nobility
protest against the abolition of their privileges The
Jews remonstrate against their exclusion from poli-
tical rights. The College of the Citizens, or of
tiityete, disapproves of the balance of power fixed
by the Constitution, and by which this College, as
trill as the Legislative Assembly, have very little au•
tl,ority, whereas the Senate has in its hands not only
the whole executive and administrative power, but
alscea part of the legislative and juJicial powers.—
Lastly, the Catholks protest against the restrictiuns
;ider which they are admitted to the eejoement of
political rights—they say that the equality of the three
comartinioas, is a condition which the High Allies
have expressly attached to the litres ty which they have
graciously granted to the city of Frankfort. It, not-
withstanding the ciearly prneouticed will of the 1
Powers, the real or pretended majtnity of use iuh
intents has violated the rights of the minority, by the
Calst:tution adopted, tie! have no resource
hut to appeal to the High Germanic Diet, which alone
has tix sigit to make a definitive decision. The Senate
dues acst suffer itself to be stopped in its course.
An arrete, published by virtue of the new Consti.
tetion, prescribes the electien of a Committee of 51
citizens to proceed to the r °ruination of a new College
of Electors, cogrposed of three divisions. The seve-
ral perties who have prowsted against the Constitu-
tion tale no share in these elections, which they con-
sider as 'eyelid.
The Palace of the Prince of Tours and Taxis has
been fired up at the exprese of t!:e Austrian Govern.
ment tar the Sittings of the Diet; workmen are now
actively employed in decorating the interior; in the
sequel, however, it is probable that the Sittings of this
Assembly will be removed to the Getman house at
Sacheenhausen, which is of far greater extent. The
expense, however, of putting this magnificent pile in
repair wield be very great ; the plan is said to have
Men already laid before the Emperor of Austria.—
The opening of the Diet will attract a great many
strangers hither. A great many apartments are al-
reedy hired ter this time in the Inns. Many English
families are now here, who seem, indeed, to have come
to the Continent from motives f economy.
To-d.iy (July 26) the bonds to the amount of 50
millions of &wins created in 1813, by the three high
Powers, but which have never been in circulation,
are to be burnt in the presence of the Commissioners
appointed by the three Courts.—(/ I:gearing Litung,

Fleid•MAlrdiAl Prince Blucher is arrived, in very
good health, at Dobien au. His Royal Highness the
Grand Duke of Mechlenburg Schweren has assigned
him an apartment in his Palace.
FROM THE RII:Nt, JULY SOL
A very long article under this head, in the Alpe:eine
7.,it sou of 3d, 4th, and sth August, depicts tee pre-
sent state of France. It is neither the theatre of con-
Ind sines and :roubles, as the Englisli Opposition Papers
and Belgic patty Journals represent, nor the peacelul
happy, Eden. whinh most of the French and some
of the German Papers would make us suppose.
The writer then blames the epnstraint under which
fte press is kept in France, and thinks if it were re-
rhoved men of talent would be found to defend the
cause of truth against the misrepresentations of both
parties. These measures, which look like a continua-
tion of N Ipoleon despotism, arc not necessary for the
present Government to maintain itself. The King
is a man of a noble way of thinking, who sincerely
wishes the happiness of the people, and is personally
averse to all arbitrary violations of the liberty of the
citizens. Molt of the inhabitants of France are un-
doubtedly devoted to him, and it would depend on
the Chiefs of the different Miniiterial departments,
• particularly the Chief Minister, to *rake the Consti-
tutional party wholly attached to him, which partly
contains the most respectable citizens. and the most
enlightened ; but this party demand legal freedom,
and the trice observance of the Charter under the
protecti,n of the King, because it is calc*lated to
make France happy notwithstanding its defects, whisk
may be amended in the sequel.
The present Ministry contains the elements of such.
a re-union with the Constitutional party. The finances
present a great difficulty, the necessary sums to satisfy
the Allies must be procured, unlesi they will run the
risk of hawing cessions of territory demanded. Public
opinion is divided; neither so unfaveurable to the
• teoverionirat as most of the English and Belgic_Pe
Fen say. nor so as the French Journals represent.—
Ile desire of repose is prevalent ia the majority of
the FrvQcb, and they are heartily tired of all the
