" The Prince Pri,na.e of The Confederation
has the honor 70 inform their ma;eaies, imper-
al and terenc hiEhneacs, &C. &c. that his ,.iii:-
ter Plenipotentary baron D'Alb;ni repaired to
Frankfort at the beginning Of this month, tt.
make preparations in his name for the opening
cf the Diet, in as much might accord with
The intentions OF the A;fociated kings and .ovre
reigDs. The A6t of Confederation having dee
henated that term for propoIng a Funhamen-
tai Statute, the opening OF the fittings will dee
pend probably upon the arrival of the plenipo-
tcstiarics. Ardently deiring to defervc The
confidence of the af1ociated kings and prhcee;
the Prince Primate regards it as the frit dntv
OF his Office, not to ptopofe any thing which
might not &c generally acknowledged as of era
fcntial advantage TO the Confederation, AS well
as confident with the perfect independence OF
the confedorated fcvereigns
II the formation ola fundamental natu.c
cannot he the work Of dry, and that An obect
OF iuch importance requires the MOT mature
reelection, It is, notwithstanding, equally true,
that II Is dehrable that the confederation fhouli
from ITS commencement be eitabliihed upon an
immoveabIe BATS. Its object is 10 obtain tran
guilty and itcurity, the true happiness Of natl
on', and TO enable fovereigns ia occupy them.
felves without interruption in the profoeriv ~
their itates, in increafing the happnef, Of ths.
towns and country, by the enlightened aitenti-
on OF prudent and parental government, and
bythe encouragement Of ufcfnl arts and Grien-
:es, the true fources Of the fpendour CT auguO
dynaities, and fnvercien HOTTIES The fouth OF
Germany, after ages CT usforttlnes, troubles z.
wars, cannot but ardently with that its h!erna,
happineis iliould be eftabiiihed upon an mpe-
ri.habie BATS. The Prince Primate fnbrnts to
me wiidom OF the confederatrd Kings and
Princes the decifon CT the queGion, whether
the fundamental maxim Of the inviolabilitv Of
the territory Of the confederation, be not the
tirit aud mott important Of all the bates Of the
publ'c PROPERTY (? Whether it BE agreeable rs
'"e i"Sh wIrdOm OF the confederaed kings and
princes never to allow paiiage to foreign
troops, though even difarmed, without the con.
tent OF the entire confederation And, fuaIly.
nj he not alto conformah!c to the dignity Of
independent fovereigns, that the representatives
at the Diet of Frankfort, engaged in a1uring
aomeitic tranquility, iioud neither fend mhf.
tiers to, nor receive them from, foreign courts T.:
Alright which is naturally reieryed TO each Of
the auGuh kings and fovereigns, and not to a
meeting OF their plenipo.entiares.
Ii the Diet Of Frankfort ihould hereafter
apply 10 MS malc9y the emperor of the French
and King of HAY. as Protector, to obtain hi.
guarantee Of uch an invioiability of,he terrio-
ry OF the confederation, we may be allowedto
entertain hope that this favor, one Of the fr(t
Importance, will not be refuftd on the part OF
That great man, who has known how to reipe6
the ihviolability of one of the mott important
countries IN the world, notwithstanding The OBJ
'tacles which appeared to oppofe it.
The Prince Primate fubmits thefe cbfer.
valions to the Kings, Princes, &c. aTociated
in the Confederation Of the Rhine, and will al.
ways feel happy if his jealous and diinteref-
edneis can deierve their confidence and approa
baton.
