The Journal called the Coniervateur Impartial, pub-

importation of the 191 foreign articles which are pro.

order to favour the internal manufactures.
On the Promenade of Moscow, on Palm Sunday,
above 300 equipages were counted.

A respectable traveller who arrived here to-daye
(he is a citizen and inhabitant of Bergen,) reports,
that the accounts hitherto spread of the plague, or of
a contagious distemper, in Norway, have pored
wholly unfounded. It had indeed been mentioned in
a Norwegian Paper, that further inland in the king.
dom several persons had died of a dangerous distem-
per, and the repetition of this notice in other Papers
had caused• some alarm upon that head ; but that
afterwards the physicians who went from Bergen to
the place indicated, had fully contradicted all the ap-
prehensions expressed respecting a contagious distent-
per.—The report of the wreck is wholly false. This
traveller left Bergen on the 12th ingest.
STU FOAItD, MAY
The following has been published here :
at Ilia Majesty the King has received clear proofs,
that several of the Princes and Counts, formerly States
ef the Empire, and now subject to his Majesty, have
not only entered into a union, contrary to the vela.
tiens as subjects, among themselves and with other
formerly immediate States of the Empire, but also
have Allowed themselves to have recourse to foreign
Courts, and attempted to procure their interference
in derermining their political relations to the State.
neglectful of their engagements as subjects, to which
they have sworn by the oath of allegiance, and which
have been recognized by the Great Powers of.Eurepe
in the late Cenventiuns with them. But as the at-
temet of a subj •ct to procure the interference of fo-
reign, powers in the internal concerns of a gate, is,
in all well-ordered states, a crime to which severe pod
nalties are attached, evety attempt of the former
States of the Empire, now made subjects, whether
made by single individuals or by several united loge.
ther—whether they apply to single foreign powers, or
to a union of Sovereign Princes—cannot be regarded.
in any light but as such a crime against the State,
.which is to be punished with all the severity of the
laws.
,1 His Majesty, therefore, reserving to himself to
refer these illegal proceedings in respect to the authors
and tnnst active promoters of them to the course of
justice, to be eximined and judged according to the
existing laws, has been pleased to give the under-
signed the puler expressly to remind Mr. N. N. (let-
ters used in Germ in in place of the name, to be in-
s rted in a circulet letter) of the long existing prehi.
bition, by which every subject is forbidden to apply
to foreign Courts ir, matters which concern his rela-
tions as a subject, and at the sante time to add the'
threat, in case of contravention, besides the heavier
punishment to which the guilty will be liable, the
immediate sequestration of- al: estates belonging to
the disobedient. in his Majesty's dominions will the
more certainly follow, as his Majesty has most so-
lemnly and repeatedly engaged to grant the former
immediate nobility of the empire whatever they can
possibly have reason to expect.
6° The undersigned, as Chief ad issierim of the
Home Department, at the same time that he hereby
fulfils his Majesty's commands, requests Mr. N. N.
to let him have, without delay, a certificate of the
present notification having been made.
" The Actual Counsellor of State, Ore.
44 Stutgard, April 20.—Home Department."
The Prince of Walpurg Zub, gave in a note,
dated April 21, in which he declares that the politi-
e_seel situation of the former immediate Princes and
• - Conroe of the empire has two main objects—the ac-
quisition of curial votes in the German Diets and
Assemblies, and their personal privileges.
Their requeetv are founded on the acts of Congress
anti* the TreaOf of Paris. If, therefore, on the ap-
proach of the German Diet some of the mediatited
Princes and Counts of various States of the German
• Confederation had formed an union to promote this
object so important to them, at a moment which will
for Ever decide upon it, such an union cannot be dis-
approved by the highest Sovereigns in the union; that
his alejegy the:King of Wirteroberg had indeed de-
clited on the 18th October that lie was surpriseellbe
Princes would not wait with patiinace and submission

for the menace when his Majesty should ezacUte the
engagements be had made rthat they had waited,
but as his Wray had not yet •unconditiofally se-
eeded b) the slid Confederation, the mediated Princes,
&c. could nut be blamed for exerting themselves;
that fur the rest their conduct was equally loyal and
respesuul,
