Eranhto,ton-he- -Maoe- German C5de Of G5upneo, A
correspondent writes as follows:
/ informed you, some time ago, that a commission,
composed Of representatives of the several German gov
crnments had, by resolution Of tho Diet been appoint
ed to meet at Nuremhurg, In order to frame 1yyd oa
general code OF commerce for the whole conedera The
commission began its labors two months ago Two pro.
jects had been proposed one by Austria, and one by
Prussia The commission decided on taking the latter
for the basis of Its deliberations no doubt because had
already been examined by committee Of lawyers md
practical mon, appointed at Berlin.
The progress hitherto made by the Nuremburg comm.
sion is totally unknown, it having decided to maintains
profound silence on its deliberations. The public not
at all satisfied with this decision. The newspapersc-
pecally of Hamburg and Bremen expressed appe
tensions as TO the spirit in which the project will be
framed They seem to fear that this win be theo
retical than practical the Prussian project contains
provisions not favorable to the principles of the engh
ened commerce which prevails especially amongst the
merchants Of the Hanse Towns
1t is generally thought that the working of the
mission would be much salutary if subjected to the
influence and criticism of public opinion On the other
hand, it should he borne In mind that the Prussan project
has been published that it was framed with the concur
renee of practical men that the commission at Nurem
burg Is likewise partly composed of members Of that
category and finally, that the work to be framed by
the commission is only the pd TO be submitted for the
action OF tho Diet after II has been given to the public
and the opinion Of the different governments having
been expressed in the form OF instructions to their min
isers at Frankfort
AT any rate IL seems not likely that the commission
will be able TO bring It's work TO close under six months
and the public are kept in Ignorance of the daily prog
ress, the members Of the commission will their part,
have ample time to consult practical and public
opinion.
Another step towards German union viii be accom-,
plished II general code Of be framed and
be made acceptable to all the States of Germany Many
doubt II this be done and there is rumOT 10 Ne
effect that II the commission at Murenburg refuses to a
cept and recommend he entire of the Prussian project
Prussia will adopt 1t for her government and relieve
herself from the entanglng commercial regulations OF the
other members Of the confederacy
The same commission at Murenburg has lately been
charged by the Diet with the further task of proposing
certain notifications to the law concerning rates q e
change, which framed few years ago at the confer
ence of Lepsc, and has since been introduced in the
whole of Germany fr h.
