GERMANY . A circumstance which has lately occurred in Brunswick gives the people of that state additional reason to regret their temporary subjection to the King of Hfinover . M . de Wette , a celebrated theologian of Germany , held a professorship in a Prussian University at the time
Kotzebue was assassinated by Sandt , and having written a letter of condolence to the mother of Sandt , ( who , we believe , had been his pupil , ) fie was forced in consequence to resign his situation . The people of the town of Brunswick having the right to elect their own clergy , and
entertaining , in common with the rest of their countrymen , the greatest regard and esteem for M . de Wette , on the occasion of a late vacancy in one of their cjiurches , chose M . de Wette to fill it . Knowing the state of destitution in which he was , and his inability to provide himself with
what his establishment would demand , with a spirit and feeling which reflects the highest honour on them , they determined to furnish his house and supply him with whatever else might be necessary to enable him to appear among them in such a manner as his station rendered
necessary , and a general contribution was immediately begun , in which some gave money , others such articles as they could spare , and in which all , from "the highest to the lowest , eagerly participated . To their great astonishment , however , when all this was done , an interdict was issued by the Government which refused to
ratify the election of M . de Wette . Fortunately for him , he received immediately afterwards , a call to one of the churches of pern , in Switzerland . The mean and vindictive spirit displayed on this occasion has , however , excited a very incjignnnt feeling throu&fcoHt the north of Germany . —Times , Jyju 20 .
