testant monarch, and the duchess as one oil MS
relations.
The two orders Of the cabinet, relative to
the establishment Of the rights OF the no.
blesse, and TO the Institution of fes in trust in
the 2russian provinces OF the Rhine, have tran
utilised completely the inhabitants OF this coun-
try, who have knowledge ofthe efforts made
BY the ancient nobility TO recover their ancient
privileges.
1t has occasioned much satisfaction that the
formal determination Of his majesty is, not to
facilitate the establishment Of fefS Of trust, and
much less 10 erect them into law II had been
supposed that, according to former promise,
the changes made on the actual legislation
would be submitted TO the appreciation OF the
provincial states of Prussia i'll which they were
equally interested, as in the project for the in
PRODUCTION of the ancient Prussian duties into
the provinces Of the Rhine. But the latter dis
positions of the king are much better adapted
to the circumstances, and merit the acknow-
Judgements of the inhabitants. A commission
named by his majesty, composed of men versed
IN Jurisprudence, will report their opinion upon
those subjects which concern the legislation,
and that opinion. is 10 serve as the basis OF the
royal resolutions.
INaye1. e, June I4--On the strength Of the in
tended visit Of Prince Metternich to his chateau
at Johannesburg, report is in circulation that
new German Congress will arise out of this
occasion, and in which several important sub
iects which have already been treated, as we'll in
the Germanic Diet, as immediately between the
respective cabinets, will be de6nitively settled.
Among the number is TIE navigation OF the
Rhine, which has always, as is well known, met
with obstacles in the Interpretation which the
governments Of the low countries have thought
proper to give TO the fundamental act relating
10 it. 1t is added, that the decision of the go
vernments will probably be taken, on the 10Th
article Of the act Of confederation, concerning
the establishment Of liberty of commerce and
industry among the members OF the contedera-
cy, in manner analogous to the interest Of the
confederate states; in Gne, the complete organi-
zation Of the combined army, in regard to the
propositions of the small states, to obtain some
alienation Of the obligation to set on loot their
quota. What gives some appearance OF truth
to the report, is, that preparations are making,
not only at the chateau, but IN the neighborlng
villages, to receive the great personages who
will attend during The stay Of his Highness,' the
Chancellor Of State, the Chateau not being sutfi-
GENTLY spacious 10 lodge the whole number.
We ought TO Judge with much indulgence
the first essays of long oppressed people, IN
the career of public deliberations. But, aside
from some indications of an angry rivalry be-
tween the chiefs ofthe Peloponnesus, and those
Of the continent, (Roumelia,) we perceive in
this body sensible improvement in public spi-
rit and political wisdom. The idea OF termina-
ting by the nomination of constitutional King,
the monarch to be a fCreigner--the intestine
discords, so fatal to the sacred cause Of their
country, is evidently the most happy idea that
could present itself to enlightened and intelil-
gent Greeks. Nothing could place Greece
more completely in unison with the wisest ma
lions of Europe, than the adoption OF a form OF
government, which, well digested, will combine
the advantages Of monarchy with those OF
republic. The difficulty is to find this king.
We hope to be able shortly to present some i
IDEAS on this subject, which may be OF service
TO Greece Note by the Editor Of the Journal
des Deba,s.
