FROM THE ALGEMEINE ZEITUNG..* .

"_.ln our times, among all site Constitutions in
Europe, that of England has stood firm, and afforded
protection amidst the storm ; because, a sister -to the
Wurtemberg Constitution, it has formed itself en.
tirely from the people in a constant course of deve-
lopement.
,Head too, after the mournful experience
of our Oays, are Constitutions aprieri fallen into uni-
versal discredit.
" The people do not look at what is offered thews,)
but at him who offers it. They willingly obey hies
only who is without regard for. self. For a .Censtita-
; lion to stand firm, the lawgiver must clearly., prove
kthat he is wsprejskliadin his work. The Cconitationa
of Israel, Athens, and Sparta, struck deep root,. be-
cause Moles went up to the mountain, Lycurgus_and
Solon out of their country ; and in France, chiefly
because from the first Constitution to the last, in 1814.
the Lawgivers did not go cut of the administration;
their weeks, which wanted the vivifying principle of
public confidence, were still-born children. A Con-
auction whose author. in case he should.socueed i 6
establishing it, conditions with the Prince for a place
in, the Ministry, will hardly obtain credit.. To bring
forth what is fretand lofty, it requires a free and lofty
soul. The times too are passed, when oppressed nations
patiently received as good continually new Constitu-
tions, as charity _children do a oew year's dress..
They. knowstset,the highest interests of man ire in
question, and the they have often received evil in.
