lions II adds, 1--WE are in position to say that the
following categorical propositions of Austria, have
been already forwarded to Berlin: Austria and
prussia shall each name two members of the central
power, to which the Vicar of the Empire, the Arch
Luke John. ia virtue Of his office, shall deliver O.
yer the authority TO decide all internal and foreign
affairs OF the whole fatherand. This central pow
er shall reside ia Frankfort. Should its four mem
hers be equally divided any question: an umpire
shall be named by the Kings in Germany. In all
such cases, Bavaria and Hanover shall have the
right 10 vote, but Saxony and Wer,emberg shall
vote alternately. In Berlin nothing has yet been
decided.n

z The object Of the interim is the continuation
OF the German conederacy as an indissoluble union
OF all the German states, for the preservation of the
internal and external security of Germany, Of peace
among the several members, and of the integrity of
their several possessions as recognized by the CON
federacy
g. During the interim, the right of union of par
tlcuIar states among themselves remains unaltered
as secured by Art. vi Of the act of union.
a. II, at the expiration of the interim the form of
the German national Administration shall not have

tency of the smaller council (the Executive) of tre'
Federal Diet, shall be conducted by an Imperial
commission presided over by Austria, to which
Austria and Pussia shall each send two members
This commission shall sit Frankfort. The 9TH
governments shall be represented near the COM
mission, either separately OF several together, by
plenipoentiarlcs.
g. The imperial commission conduct the business
Independently but shall be responsible for their acts
to their several Governments. All votes shall be
decided by the majority. In case the votes shall be
equally divided, Austria and Prussia permit in such
necessary case, the decision Of umpires. This de-
cison shall be given by three German States TO
wit: alternately by Bavaria, Saxony and Hanover
and by Bavaria, SaXony and Wurtemburg The
members of the imperial commission divide among
themselves the business, which they, i'm conformity
with the existing laws Of the confederacy, and es-
pecialy with the rules relative to case of war; mus
either themselves perform or must personally direct
and supervise.
Z. So soon as the consent Of the different states
shall be given to the present agreement the Vicar
of the Empire shall depose in the hands of his Ma
jesty the Emperor of Austria and of his Majesty the
King of Prussia, all his federal dignities rights and
duties
This Is the project so long waited for, the pro-
duct of the assembled wisdom of the Prnces of Ger

mentioned as possible within the year. but in the
event of this not taking place, the present agree

Arkansas Banner. The Little Rock Democrat says
that Gov ROane has ordered out the militia for the
