Union of German States wader the Supremacy Prussia—Complicated Form of Government— Sketch of the Proposed Constitution—Austria to be Excluded—Conflict between the Troops of Hessts and Baden. ‘The great scheme of Prussian diplomacy, which je the establishment of the supremacy of the house of Hohenzollern over the dyn s of the other German States, is approaching its consummatioa. ‘The imperial diadem, whieh had been tendered to Frederick William by the National Assembly, was refused by him, because Prussia disdained to accept the crown of the German empire out of the hands ef that Assembly. The realization of that great project, the supremacy of Prassia in Germany. nevertheless, ever since been the leading object o the whole policy, of this eabi 1! A, alte, fruitless diplomatic negotiations, and afte summoning the central power to resign, has now boldly stepped forward, and assumed the govera- ment of Germany. It has sent troops to the Rhine, and to the Western States, It is about to su revolution in that part of the country, by fervention. It is about to conclude peace with Denmark ; and tt has already taken a position at the head of Germany, in the direction of the diplo- matic aflairs between the latter and foreign powers, Nor is this all. The coup d’état which | : ‘ou for, in my Jast despatch, has taken place eeaaia though without the concurrence of the other German States, and in concert y with Saxony and Hanover, has published the d. eonstiiution for Germany, which excludes Au and all those States that refuse to join the cou ration under the supremacy of Prussia, and rese: the final settlement of the relations of the con ration with such States for special treaties. constitution, as agreed upon between Prus: Saxony, and Hanover, appeared several days ago in the official government paper. It is preceded by ca ircular of the Prussian ministry to all the State: of Germany, soliciting their entrance into the union and their accept pnstitation, as the only means of saving any from revolution and eivil war. The constitution, is to be revised by the first German diet which is to assemble. The diet is to consist of an upper and a lower house ; the sanate and the house of representatives. The number of the members of the senate will be 467, provided all German States, with the excep- tion of Austria, enter the umion. Of these, 40 members are to be sent by Prussia. The me bers of the upper house are to be chosen for a riod of six years; they are to be elected, one- If by the government, and the other by the legislature of the State. Every German, who has attained his thirtieth year, and is in full posses- ion of all civil rights, is Aree asa member of the Senate. The form of election for the House of Representatives is indirect. The primitive vo- ters are to choose the electors, who are to elect the members of the lower house. Every German who has attained his twenty-fifth, year, ‘an ne taxes to the State, is a primitive voter. The primitive voters are to be divided into three elasses—those who pay the highest, the low- ar, and lowest tax, each of which have to ehoose an equal number of electors. The lowest elass, though the most numerous, will not elect more than the others. The members of the b house are to be chosen for a period of four The Diet isto assemble once every year. time and place of its meeting 1s to be appointed by the head of the empire. ‘The government of the empire 18 to consist of a council of princes, with a president at its head. The dignity of president of the council 1s to be united with the crown of Prus- ia. Inthe eouncil, Prussia and Bavaria are to have one vote each, and all the other States to- gether four votes. The president receives the representatives of foreign powers, and appoints em- bassadors and other diplomatic agents. He de- elares war, makes peace, and concludes treati: He has the command of the nulitary power, and maintains the peace in the States. lor the pur- pose of deciding questions and differences which may arise between the States, or the government and people of one State, a high court of “ni peal for the whole empire is to be established. Versonal Iiberty is guarantied. All privileges of rank are abolished. All public offices are equally accessi- ble to all competent persons. Habitations are sa ered; searches of domiciles are only allowable in the legally defined cases and forms. Freedom of emigration is not restricted, nor are eimigration Nt fees to be demanded. The liberty of the press 1s guarantied. Freedom of religious faith is assured. All Germans have a right to assemble peaceably and unarmed, without any previous permission on the part of the authorits Public meetings are to be prohibited if they endanger public satety and order.
