GERMANY.

We find 10 London paper a conlden.
tial letter Of Prince Metternich, prime
minister Of Austria, 10 the chief minister Of
the Grand Duke of Baden, and which is
represented as a circular, sent TO the whole
Of the German Princes. Prince nj. en-
tiers on the political state Of Germany with
the views Of statesman ,apprehensye Of
convulsions, and disposed to put forth every
possible energy 10 arrest them, Firmness,
moderation aud prudence are enjoiaed.
The object is TO maintain that which ex-
lists, rather than at present to recover
!. ha, il lest The recent union formed by
the German States is considered indisso-
lnble. The circular closes with the fol-
lowing:
The rules which The German govern
ment will henceforward have 10 observe,
may be pointed out in few words.
i. Confidence in the duration Of Euro
peau peace, and ia the unsnimity Of the
principles which direct the high allied
powers.
2. A scrnpulous attention to their own
system of administration.
3. Perseverance, in the maintenance OF
the legal basis of the existing constitutions,
aud firm determination to defend them
with force and prudence against every in
dividual attack.
A. The amelioration Of essential faults
in these constitutions this ameliorasion
being made by governments, and grounded
on sufficient reasons.
In case of insuficiency of means, an
appeal to the assistance Of the Confedera-
tion---an assistance which every member
has the most sacred right to exact, and
which, according TO present stipuIations,
can less than ever be refused.
Such is, according 10 us, the only true
~ saiutary, legal and safe course. On
such principles rests the political system
Of The Emperor aud Austria, tranquil ia
her interior, possessing an imposing mass
of moral force and physical resources
will not only make use Of them for her
own preservation, but will always be ready
to dispose Of them for the advantage OF
her confederates, when duty and wisdom
iiemand their exercise-Co!.
