SIR C. IPOLs-ELEPsLETTER.

The Letter of SirChailes Wolseleile4,he Country

time slum has met with high commendation. It con-
tains truths onpalatablt to alarmist*, and doctrines
quite terrible to the enemies of Reform. It is writ.

they despised slavery, laughed at the wooden shoes
of the French, and bantered their love sit

of Chatham,. Jones, end Camden, and leaves
on the .mind a comparison, not in favour of the
present period. It is written with the manli-
ness which distisigoishes a freeman; and is eery
unlike the servile, cringing. flattering, fawning glorie
countenanced at Court. .It suits the meridian of Bit-
tain,•nd ill accords with the foul air of Aix-in.Che.

that city, who, under the Holy Alliance, dismiss

violent, Pay the alarmists. Is there any violence in

terests all, relates to all, whether high or dais, (W.

more vicious; to exhibit their virtues, to increase
their well doing. Property is precarious, life inse-
cure, where it is seditious to utter an abhorrence
of tyranny, mid treason to disclose its injustice.—
It is somrtignes the interest of men in power to
plunder the 'People ; but it is never the interest of
the People to be plundered. It is often the interest
of the Ministers to cheat and delude the govoreed;
but it is never the interest of the governed to be de.
lolled. It is sometimes the interest of the fey: to op-
press the many; but it is never the interest of the
many to b. oppressed. Ambition may sigh for ex-
tended empire, avarice fur plunder, pride for 1464,
and folly for gewgaws; but ambitiou, avarice, pride,
and folly, blast the happiness of society ; wild, as
they are curves, they ought to be condemned. To

OCT. es.—The Declaration or Address to the
French People on the liberation of their 'territory
has not yet been finally agreed upon, but will be
ready by the return of the Sovereigns. The Emperor
Alexander, It is now said, will return here on the
30th or 31st inst. to meet his mother, previous to
his visit to Brussels. He will most probably re-
main here for ten or fifteen days, when the objects
on which the Ministers have agreed in his ab.
sence will be laid before him and the King of
Prussia, who will return at the some time. The
conferences of Ministers continue es formerly.—
The parties in the affair of Baden and Bavaria are
not satisfied with the proposition 1 mentioned a few
days ago as meeting the views of the Allied Courts.—
The Minister of Baden, M. Berstett, is still ex-
pected here to attend to the interests of his Court.
General 'liaison, finding no longer any great persons
here to converse with, has retired to his country house
near Neuss, opposite Dusseldorf. The little German
Courts ate sending their Representatives here, as if
Congress was a, kind 'of Germau Diet. The agents
of several of the Princes of the second order have
already arrived. The mediatised Princes have come
in person. Cogan Bentinck, the Prince of Bentheim,
the Prince of Croy, and the Prince of Tour and Taxis,
are now here. The title and condition of these Princes
are perhaps pretty generally known. They were for.
merly as much Sovereigns as those who are now called
Grand pokes, Or Oho sit upon the Thrones of Ger-
many. They then held immediately of the Empire.
When deprived of their rights of sovereignty, and
subjected to States which held of the Empire, they
'mere said to Tsi'Mediatised. By the Treaty of LOOr•
many of the Spiritual Princes were that media.
tised, and by the Act of the Rhenish Confederation
in 1806 still more. Bonaparte observed no steady
rule in depriving these smelt Princes of their sove-
reignty. All those who could furnish him with
troops,' or were zealous to promote his views, were
allowed to retain their power ; while States that bad
nearly the same extent of territory, or who reigned
over as many subjects, if they could not or would
not supply equal contingents, were stripped of their
sovereignty. There were by the Treaty of Luneville,
and the Act of the Rhenish Confederation, about
80 Princes and Counts mediatised. Some of them
had to the number of 80 or 100,000 subjects.—
Most of them are in the States of Prussia, of Base.
rig, of Hanover, of Wirtemberg, of Baden, of Darm-
stadt, anti the other minor States bordering on
the Rhine. By the act of mediatisation, they were de.
prived of their rights of sovereignty, of making
laws, of raising revenues, of bowleg armies, of coining
money, and ether privileges; end became merely
the higher class of Nobility in the States in which
they resided. By the Act of the German Confiders.
Linn, concluded at the Congress of Vienna, in 1813,
where they declared themselves illegitimately de-
prived of their rights, and reclaimed them, they
were granted the right of equality of birth with
Sovereign Houses, that of forming the musepriei.
leged clpss, ;particularly in respect to esemption from
lazes, the privilege of being only amenable to the
higher tribunals, the 'species of the rights of civil
and criminal justice in first instance, and the local
police on their own estates. Some States, such as
Bavaria, Baden, and Darmstadt, granted them every
thing they could reasonably desire. Other States
did not explain themselves in regard to them with
sufficient precision, such as Preesia. Wortemberg
alone refused to admit their pretensions ; and as it
will be seen by. representation to the Diet, the House
of Tour and lasi' has formally complained of this
treatmenr.
The sixth Article of the Act of Confederation
Deems to be in their favour: it imports that the Diet,
in deliberating on the organic laws of the Confeders-
4;on, shall consider whether or not a collective voice
should not be allowed to the Princes mediatisos.
They have more than once provoked the discussion
eilhout effect. It seems now beyond a doubt that
they will reiterate their. petitions to the present Con..
gress, though it be difficult to conjecture the result
of this step. Austria, from her interests, will most Is this ammo cannot be included the low ot hnrann blond,
