Extract
An Officer is just arrived with an official account of the death of the Grand Duke of Baden which took place this morning at a quarter past three o'clock. The Officer will return direct to Carlsruhe.
I have not the slightest doubt that as soon as ever the King of Bavaria receives this intelligence, that he will give orders to take such steps as he deems necessary for laying claims to the succession of Sponheim.

After the French revolution of July 1830, a number of states began liberalizing their laws; but measures taken by the German Confederation in 1831 and 1832 (Maβregeln-Gesetz of 5 July), and 1832 and 1834 (Articles 28–36 of the Sixty Articles of 12 June 1834) resulted in a considerable tightening up of press legislation again.
