Tin; Courrier Allemitnd confiruis to-day a piece of intelligence
which we had already communicated by means of our l,i•ivate
correspondence. The government of Wurtemberg has replied
in a satisfactOry manner to the demands made for explanations
by the committee of estates with regard to the institution of the
tribunal arbitral. Without giving the text of the answer of the
government, the Courtier announces that it is of such a nature
as to satisfy tho,e who have the least possible favour for the doc-
trines of absolutism. In spite of this reserve, we have reason
to believe that the following mac be given as a summary of the
Wurtemlierg declaration :—Thecompetency of the tribunal ar-
bitral is witubligatory. Before it can take cognizance of any
matter in disputeithe states must freely subtuit themselves to its
jurisdiction.
The interpretation thus given by the government to the liber-
ticidal declaration of the diet destroys all its fatal influence
with a single dash of the pen.
,Its importance, therefore, can-
not he too strongly urged. It counteracts the bad intentions of
Austria and Prussia, who flattered themselves that they had
found in the tribunal arbitral a pretext for interfering in the
domestic affairs of the constitutional states. The representa-
tives of Wurtemberg may well congratulate themselves on -the
courage evinced by their committee, and their government On
its prudence in avoiding the snare which had been laid by the
minions of absolutism.

This is a fresh opportunity to make it manifest how necessary
it is for the smaller governments of Germany to repel with
energy every sort of interference on the part of the diet in their
private affairs. The basis of the federal compact gives too large
a share of power to Prussia and Austria to leave anything like
independence to the other states in their common deliberations.
On the other hand, the desire of those two powers for a concen-
tration in their favour of all the influence of the confederation
is so evident as to leave no sort of doubt as to the way in w hich
they would•use the monopoly.
'1 he sole protection of the secondary powers of Germany
against the encroachments of their two more powerful neigh-
bours consists in the faithful observance and the progressive
development of liberal institutions. Let them abstain from all-
participation in those intrigues which are resorted to for the
purpose of stifling the wishes of the people. It is by such policy
alone that they can inspire confidence and attachment in those
they govern. To act otherwise, and •to allow the absolute
sovereigns of the north to take the anti-constitutional preced,
ence they seek for, would be in some sort to make such a de,
claration as. this :
Despotisin is offered you by Prussia or Austria in a single
dose, with all the substantial advantages which necessarily re-
sult from the principle of unity. As for us, we bring you des-
potim and arbitrary principles multiplied by six and thirty.
and' combined'-with all, the trickery of a petty and. divided
. . k. •
poltcy.
To otnteiibilande the prinr'itle of unity which is prOm iced by
the domination of Austria and Prussia, with all its advantages,
there.is nothing in the otio-r scale hut constitutional freedom.
It is for nations and sovereigns to choose between theta.
