The following matter is derived from English papers to
the l9th, brought by the steamer City of London:
There Congresses or Cenferences) now sitting
at FrankiortonheM Maine-one composed of the German
Princes the object of which is said to bs the discussion of
formal proposition from Austria for federal reform

sentative bodies something Ike unity Of action in the dis
cussion # and principles affecting the common

sire t. foresta and if possible win this Diet of
Dspnlles embryo Parliament AT sny rate, the
coincidence OF time oni place, the proximity of the
