The new system of government projected
by Austria and Prussia III the diet oil Frank
fort for the States Of the Gcrmanic ronted-
GRAFTON, is already bearing It's fruits. ne
sistance to the usurpation OF the Diet ls the
theme of every letter whrh comes from any
part of Germany connected with ;he con
federation. The people are every where
organizing themselves TO give effect to thus
spirit Of resistance. On the other hand
PrusSian corps d'drmee is on IT'S march from
Dusseldorf and Cologne towards Rhcnish
Bavaria, where it is known that the people
are in n high state of excitement, prepared
on the slightest proyocation 20 rise IN arms
against the aggression with which they are
threatened.
The article of the resolutions of the Diet
which is regarded MS the most oppressive
and tyrannical in lis operation, Is that which
proposes TO deprive the separate States OF
the confederation OF the right OF refusal to
pay their quota to taxes. In this article
they see a direct attack on the indepen-
denre and sovereignty OF the minor States.
According to the existing constitution. the
power of levying taxes is vested IN the con
federation for year after the refusal OF
any individual Slate Before the lapse of
| the year the State legislature has again
assembled and has an opportunity Of revis-
I ing its previous resolutions. 1t is impossl-
! bic to believe that the whole OF contederat-
! ell Germany will tamely cquiesre in the
/ assumptions of the Diet, either as regards
! the independence and sovereignty Of the
! separate States, the freedom of the press, or
! personal and individual liberty. The leglS-
| lative chambers of Hanover and of Electoral
| Hesse, are now sitting, and will probably
come to some resolution on the subject, LII
some more desirable form than a popular
iEsurrection. Among the anomalies tt
which this proceeding has given Use, is the
fact that the most seryile Of all prints, the
Gazette of Augsburg, has declared itsel
| against the measures adopted by the ron
federation.
But while the Prussian government arr

Of the two other northern powers with whom

! is now even asserted that Prussia has
agreed TO go all lengths with France and
England in compelling Holland to accede
without reserve, TO the treaty of the "a ar
ticles. In the meaHtime The session of The
Belgian Chamber Of Representatives, ha;
been closed, which seems TO prove that the
executive government finds itself strong
enough to walk alone. A report is curren
that King Leopold's marriage is deferred
but do not find that It rests on any gooc
