Cally Of Extraordinary Councillors — A P...
cally of extraordinary councillors — a poor essay at an imperial legislative assembly . The Emperor appoints as councillor * for life the archdukes , the ecclesiastical dignitaries , and several high civil and military personages : The Provincial Assemblies '• are to propose for the Emperor ' s nomination thirty-eiurht candidates , who wall continue their functions during a period of six years . The attributesnot powers or privileges—the attributes of the Council are to extend to the examination of the ¦ . budget , the accounts of the -National Debt Commission ,, the consideration of important alterations ( not reforms ) , or the creation of new laws of general interest , and to the proposals made by provincial assemblies . The G-mricil of the Empire has not the right ' of taking the initiative in . the proposal of any measure . The ministers arid chiefs of central administrations are authorised to take part in the deliberations of the Council . The expenses of members will not b * defrayed by the State .
A second Edict convokes this Council for the month of May to discuss the budget for 1861 . The Got ha Tacjellatt about a fortnight ago produced a translation of an article in the London Times which had caused the exclusion of that English paper from the Austrian dominions . Other papers had before gfiven extrants of the article without being" molested , and the Tagehiait thinking 1 to present a piquant treat-to-its subscribers-translated literally the entire article . It had no sooner appeared than the magistracy , havinsr , without question , received a and instituted
quick sharp hint from abroad , confiscated the journal , ] e < r : | l proceedings against the publisher . H ^ re we have another proof of the petty , unst-atesmanlike system pursued . -by these soc-nlWl governments . The . Gotha ¦ Tageblatt is a paper hitherto hardly' known beyond its own locality ^ and but very few German ri ; i > - > ers had reproduced the Times a . rt . . e , but since this prosecution 1 ms been commenced every our is curious to read . the article , and the Taqehlatt . conta _ iriing . |! t is difficult tr , be got at any price .. Whererve r you meet with a cwp ' y it is in shreds from having passed through so many hands .
The Evangelical community of Pressbura : have aliyiost unanimously refused to obey the prescriptions of the Imperial Edict of 1 st September last ., ,:-
