German Imperial State Affairs.

In the beautifully written patriotic thoughts and proposals for the enlargement of the German Imperial Army original: "T. Reichs-Armee" etc., Frankfurt and Leipzig 1794, large 8vo, the creation of an Imperial paper money or coupons is proposed for the current wartime and the increasingly evident shortage of money. Several parties, even in high places, seem to harbor the same wish. — The question therefore arises:

"In the German Empire original: "T. Reiche", so fragmented and hardly to be regarded as a single state anymore, would the introduction of any kind of paper money be a) possible, b) advisable? — What would be the advantages or disadvantages thereof; and in particular, what would be the probable relationship between this Imperial paper money and the state papers in individual German states, for example, in Austria, Saxony, Brandenburg, etc.?"

It is believed that the answer to these questions could best be given by the money changers and commercial houses of our largest German trading cities, such as Hamburg, Lübeck, Bremen, Frankfurt on the Main, Leipzig, also Vienna, Berlin, etc., and they are requested to allow their responses to appear, if possible, in the Imperial Gazette original: "R. Anz.".

This is partly because its sweet roots provide the mice with pleasant nourishment, and partly because their dwellings in the clover fields remain undisturbed for many years until they are plowed under again, thereby greatly facilitating and promoting the frequent hatching and survival of their young.

With a side-glance at clover as being disadvantageous to agriculture in too great a quantity, the wish is then added that it might be planted less frequently; finally, the opinion of the entire country is requested on the following questions:

1. "Whether a field on which clover has stood, after the time when it is broken up and sown again, usually yields more or less, better or worse fruit in this context, 'fruit' refers to grain or cereal crops, than if it had lain fallow for the usual time? consequently

2. "Whether since the emergence of clover planting, the production of grain (in the Breisgau)
