The most important items OF 'ntesiiSehce are

No doubt, before this time, the Information mas

the legitimate and recognized SoyereiSns Ot Eu'

The notification Of the document, entitled the
public Protocol of the 22d sitting OF the NET OF
The Geruanic Confederation, hal naturally eX-
cited both surprise aud alarm IN France The
intentions of the Emperor OF Austria and hing
of Prussia "tp check the entertainments OF "e-

scented in the Diet. appear at singular season;
and the GREAT muster of forces indicates that they
into
tber the great military movements Of the Aus
tri,n armies had for their object Germany or
France was subject of speculation: but the
continued aspect of security shewn BY the latter
Power was unfavorabe to the idea of the appre-
bended hostities. A letter from Paris, dated
july 10th, says:
We have Just learnt that the Minister Tor Fo-
reign Affairs, who was about 10 set out Tor the
country, to enjoy that repose OF which he Is so
much IN need, decided. on the arrival oil the news
from Germanv. to remain at Paris
These accounts have produced, as we foresaw,
a great sensation amongst the Ministry, and we
shall not be surprised if their Importance should
hasten the return of Marshal Snu!t.
Another letter of the 18th contains the follow:
ing comment OH the protocol:
Tie Protocol Of the Diet Of the Germanic Con-
federation has excited the greatest interest here.
The Dpspo,ic Courts have there taken the held
decidedly against liberal prn cipies OF every
description, and IN throwing of the mask, have
declared ~ explicitly that Constitutions are only

ner Interfere with the 'Sfat pro rafione roIunfas'
of their High Mightinesses, that the question
must be decided whether Germany is or is not to
remain in the sixteenth century, while all the
rest of the world is travelling through the nine
tcenIh. The Opposition Papers here are loudly
calling o. Government To mo6lltle the National
Guards and prepare at least tor action. What
may occur To Justify Intervention. is a question
of no small delicacv, and which is vet hardly ripe
for discussion. particularly at present the Pro-
tocol, with fnesse worthy of the willy Meter
nich, continues TO link each of its paragraphs to
the letter of the same article in the final Act of
Vienna, which is certainly binding on the Ger
man States. althoagh they will probably insist on
us oriug construed according to the spirit rather
than IN the letter only.
The London Courier saws:
We are not surprised at learning from our Pa
rs Correspondent that the Protocol of the Ger
manic Diet against the Press excites great ndig-
nation IN the French capital. Ii would be
strange, indeed. if it did not; but neither the
French no the people of this country can inter-
lere between the abSoutists and the would -be-in-
dependents of the German States, and despotism
in that part Of the world must be left for time
10 take ITS course.
IL may be permitted. however. to express great
regret that amongst the parties to this atrocious
compact against the expression of thought, we
find the representative Of a Sovereign who wears
the British Grown
1t Is rather curious to See William Nv. in Eng
land giving liberty to his people. and setting the
example OF Iiberality and liberation, and the Mi
nis,ers Of the same Sovereign in Hanover. assist
in in his name, and with his authority. in an at
tc:npt to prevent the expression of free senti.
n.ents, and stifle every thing that is liberal
Tnere is an anomaly in this we do not under
staaI.
u is not easy TO divine what may be the imme-
date result OF this Infamous Prutoco: but of its
final and indeed early result. there can be little
doubt. Constitutional opinions will take the
frmer hold for the temporary check thus given
to their growth. aud We shall see the Germans
remain in the 10th, whilst the rest of the world
are going through the 18TH century.
