By the Germun papers, we find that some of the States of Germany arc emrployed in mutual bargainings for an abatement of these vexatious and pernicious duties which impede the transit of useful merchandise between neigh- bours the most favourably situated for an intercourse reci- procally advantageous. In a country so sub(tivided as Ger- many, it is difficult to imagine the anoyances experienced, particularly by the better classes of inhabitants, from the wrctched system of iniquisition and obstruction established on every point of the frontier, in even the most petty sove- reignty. The examples appear to have been set by the more powerful, and forced, in mnany instances, upon the, minorStates. It is naturally among these latter, also, that the mischief seems to have bcen most severely felt; or, at least, that wisdom enough has been discovered, to provide the necessary remedy. Wurtemberg and Bavaria are en. gaged in conferences on this interesting question; and Switzerland, a deep suffierer from the same evil, has become 2 party to their negotiations. As for Austria, we mlght as well expect to see sehools of political economy opened at ong the Abyssinians, the Esquimaux, or Caifres, as any improvement sanctionied by her in the existing relations between individuals, or in those betweeiu sov'ereign and suibject. Prussia, we believe, might be brought to reason witlh less difliculty thant the Leviathan of the Souith.
