The Enquirer

LONDON, August 12.

The publication of the new Constitution of Germany will soon appear. The whole of the plan was projected and matured at Paris, between Talleyrand and the Envoy of the Confederated Courts. Nothing but the ratification seems to have been entrusted to the deliberation of the persons they represented.

August 15.

A variety of rumours, none of them favorable to peace, were in circulation yesterday. The buyers or sellers were completely "the Lords of the Ascendant." We believe we were correct in asserting, that Talleyrand, under pretence of other more important business (as if there could be any other business of more importance) evaded seeing Lord Lauderdale for some days after his arrival. It was not till Saturday or Sunday that his Lordship is said to have had his first interview. On Monday he had another interview. The answer to his dispatches is rumored to be decisive. It will bring the business to a very speedy decision--perhaps the next dispatches will bring the decision. There is a report that Russia and France co-operate to resist our right of search. Other rumors in circulation stated, that a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, had been concluded between Russia and France--that Lord Leveson Gower, who arrived yesterday, had brought very unfavorable intelligence with respect to the sentiments of the new Russian Ministry towards this country. It was said too that the revival of a Maritime Confederacy in the North was not unlikely--that Lord Lauderdale might be expected back in a few days, &c. Upon these reports, we cannot, of course, pronounce with any certainty. It was generally believed, however, that the negotiation was in a very unfavorable state--that France had evinced a disposition to protract, and that we were determined not to be the dupes of such a policy, but to order Lord Lauderdale to quit Paris directly, if he should discover that the enemy were resolved to persist in such a disposition.

The "Delicate Investigation" seems now to have been merely a nine days wonder; but, unless the Morning Post comes forward with some report, or some satisfactory statement, upon the subject in a very few days, I shall convince my readers, that this paper, at any rate, is not to be silenced.--"MU," is now become the word: but, any reformer has the power, if he has the will, to prevent the matter from being so hushed up.
