The following is the anfwer which Count Munfler, Miniler of Brunfwick Lunenbuegh. returned to the letter of the Pruffian Minitier of State. of January 27, 1806: “ Hanover, Jan 30,1806. s' By the means of public rumour, and the general communi cations made to the Britiih Envoy, Lord Hurowhy, upon the part of his Excellency, Baron Hardenberg, the Elettural Admi niftration of Hanover was informed of the intended occupation of the Eledorate by Pruffian troops ; they were silo put in a fitua non of knowing the fzutiments of their molt gracious Sovereign, relative to this event. Neverthelefs, the letter of his Pruffian Mojaty, of the 27th of January, appears to them of confider ' able weight; notwithilanding the important changes which the unhappy illue of the campaign in the South of Germany cannot fail to produce in the political fituation of Europe, the Hanove rian Adminiftratton prefumea, fence, but a few months ago, they were called upon, in the name of his Pruffian Majefty, to refume their fun dotes, to mention their concern upon being again depriv ed of them by the fame Monarch, at a period when the army of his Imperial MsJefty of RuCia, the Ally of our Gracious Sovereign, Is united with the Britith army, sod under the command of the King of Prufila ; during the exiftence of friendly relations between Great Britain and Pruilia, and while the fafety of the Eledlorate is under the guarantee of the condlions agreed upon between Ba ron Hardenberg and Lord Harrowhy, and expre&d in the note tranfmitted to his Lordfhip, on December 22. His Britannic Majefty, informed of the Intended puff...lion of his Electoral States by the Pruffian troops. has not only found himfeif difpofed to expre.s to his Minifter his avetfion to thefe matures, to dif treffiug in their confcquences to an exhaufled country, occupied by the enemy during twenty-nine months ;---hut has alfu ex ',relied, through the Pruflian Envoy, Baron Jacobi Kleift, his furprice at the circumltance, and his hope, that the reprefentations he had made, would induce his Pruffian MaJelly to abandon his intended plan, and r, cur to the original conditions, with the or. cellary modifications. This hope the Eleetoral Adminiftration Rill indulged, in a full confidence in his Pruffian Majefty's love of rec. thude ; but after receiving the letter of the 17th of this month, in which, according to a treaty between France and Prtiffia, the Elec torate and its Adminiftration are made over to his Pruffian Ma jelty ; and when, in confequence of this. the Adminiftration were commanded to resign their functions exclufively to a Com miliioner, and were made refpoulible for the conkquences of difohedience to their lawful Sovereign, their confeiences could no longer exculethem for the neglect of protelting againft thefe proceedings. Being fpeci ally charged and empowered by my molt gracious Sovereign, I reel my( If hound, in the name of his Britannic Majefty, as Eledtor of Brunfwick Luitenburg, to proteft in the molt folemn manner againft any limitation of his rights, and in particular againft the publication of the Pruffian Patent of the 27th. At the fame time, I cannot yet fupprcfs the hope that his 1 seellency the Pruffian hlinilter, in confteptence of the reprefentations already made, will fin I hinsfelf difpofed to ufe his good offices with his Sovereign, that in cafe the occupation of the Electorate Oiould be inevitably der, matted upon, it Sall be concluded in fuels a manner, and upon fuels principles, as &all Rill prcferve the friendly relations hitherto maintained between their Pruffian and Britannic Ma jellies. I believe it is fcarcely neceffary for me to remark, that ol der the prefect circumitances, it cannot gullibly enter into the conceptions of the yrefent Eledloral Adminiftration, to repel thole meafures by force, which depeod upon the King of PrufGa, in retret of thla country. I am, &c. COUNT MUM tall." GERMANr. VIENNA. Mance s.—Our Coon Gazette enntairss the following intelligence, under the article Italy* " The Q2een, the Prinedres Rial, and the whole of the Court of Naples, have embarked on board the Archimedes frigate ; and the King and Q2een of Sardinia on board the Prelkovia frigate, and have proceeded on their voyage to Palernio. " The Crown Prince remained in Naplu until the ilth of February ; but, on gccount of the unexpeCted and rapid advance of the French, by the way of Sa lerno, he was obliged, along with Prince Lao rot.n„ to let out for Calabria, where a body of feventeen thou fa nd chofen men, tinder General CObnt ROGER Da or as united with the irnmenfe en reafi, have fortified themfelves near Lego Negro, in a pofition equally advantageous both by nature and art.

In the fame conven. tion Napoleon propofes a Treaty of Alliance between France and Prullia ; but our King, in the ratification of the convention, modified this article In far, that the alliance is re (trifled to a neutral guarantee of the ter ritories ceded and occupied.

The French have treated Triefle with extreme rigour, enforcin:., all the contributions which by the treaty of peace nuoht to have been remitted. Marfhal Maffena is 1t0...Li to have laid, that he had orders to treat Trie.te w.th feverity, becaufe it had fupplied the Engl.h. fleet in the Mediterranean with provifions, and by that 'mans contributed to enable Lord Nelfon to pto:tte tic French and pin the vidbry of Trafalgar. P.I.I2LUMENTART FRoCEEDIAGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH T 9. • The Scotch Bankrupts, and one other Bill (pd.,. c) were brought up from the Commons, and read a fit ft time. It was ordered, that the Judges Mould deliver their opinions in the muie of Lurena Craufurd on the ad of May. WOOLLEN MANUFACTURERS BILL. The Houfe having refolved itfelf into a Committee on the Woollen ManufaCture Bill, and the order of the day being read for hearing Counfel on the Petition againft the fame, • Lord SPENCER obferved, that he feared the Houle could not, confluent with its ulual satire the Petition. It was not cuilomary to receive Petitions againft the principle of a Bill in its prngrefs through the Houle. He could not account for the oppofition made to the Bill, which was only a re. newal of a mealuie which had received the concur rence of the Houle for fuccellive feflions. The prin ciple of it wss merely a prolongation of the period to which it bad been found neceftary to fufpend a corn plicatedlyftem of laws, applicable to one of the moll important branches of our national indultry. 'Lord ELLENBOROUGH alto explained the na. ture of the Bill, and the Bill was committed without hearing 'Connie]. Lord AUCKLAND prefented a fecond Petition againft the 'Bill—to which Lord ELLENBOROUGH objeded, on the ground of inform:4RJ, and inaccuracy in the prayer of the Petition. _ _ ... Lord SPENCER again took the trouble of ex plaining the nature of thd pill, and 4preifed an in clination to bear the Petitioners by their Counfel, if they were of opinion they had any argument• to of fer which could Whence their Lorddrips to change their opinion refpating the neeet4ty of the Bill. Lord HOLLAND thought it would be bell not to infilt upon the Brie pradlice of thelloufe, but to let the Petitioners be beard at the Bit, to which Lord Ellenborough . -.ceded, and an order was made accordingly, that Counfel Broad attend on the third reading to-morrow. The Bill went through the Committee, and wa.; reported without amend:iv • ts. • DICLARA7u.t Y sILL. On the third reading of e Declaratory Bill, re. (peeling Witneffes, Lnrd ELLENBOROUGH Rated, that he had the perrniffion - cf a Noble and Learned Friend of his to withdraw the provifoes which he had wifbed to en. graft upon the Bill. •On his own part, be alto wifbed to withdraw the claufe which he had fubtaitted to the Houle, and which he meant fkould have fuperfeded the provifoes introduced by his Noble Friend. From the Lett confideration he had been able to give. the fubjee, Is_ thought the BiU would be more fatisfac. tory, if it were unaccompanied with either to thnfe elaufes. - - '.►he LORD CIIANCELLOR explained the Tea• Cons which had induced him to introduce the and to frame it in that particular way, in which it now appeared before the Houle. It went to declare oo• thing more than what a great majority of the Judges bad averred to be the law of the land. Earl STANHOPE expelled his fatisfatlitik that the two Noble and Learned Lords had at lafl difco vered the inutility of the daisies they meant to have I togs afted upon the Bill, both of which would only have rendered it obfcur e and inexplicable. He wifhed that means could be found to incorporate the Bill which he had the honour of propofing into that now in its progrefs through the Houle. Lord HOLLAND Rated Come objeAions to the provilbes, and gave it as his opinion, that the Bill would be more clear and explicit without them. Lord ELLENBOROWGH defended his conchre, in the part which he had taken in the Bill. The clank which he had prepared was at the retina of his Noble and Learned Friend, with whom he had had Tome confultation on the fubjeet. The Bill wee then read a third time and palled. Adjourned till to.saurrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS• The SPEAKER having taken the Chair, A new writ was ordered for the eleEtion of a Member .`or the County of Kilkenny, in the room of the Right Hon.

Upon the motion of Mr. DUNDAS, the Scots Bankrupt Bill was read a third time, puffed, and ordered to the Lords.

Ordered to lie on the table. 111S/11 MILITIA. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report 'of the Ira Militia Volunteer Service Ben t which was read the firfk time, and upon the queftion being put for the fecond reeding, Mr. LEE raid he highly approved the principle, and wilhed to extend it Rill further, by ellablilbing a reciprocal plan of fervice for the Militia of each country in the other, as occafion might require. It was rather an awkward thing to propore a queflion of volunteer fervice to men with arms in their hands —but now that an Union was eflablifhed, the main objet avowed for which was to confolidtte the ltrength of both countries, he raw no rearnn why the Militia in both counuies fhould not be embodied at their outfet upon a legal obligation, to retire in any part of the United Kingdom to which they might be called. Upon the good confequences that would re• fult from fuch a principle of reciprocal fervice be tween the Militias of both countries, in promoting civilization, manners, and mutual confidence be tween both countries, he pettedly agreed in the fenti• ments expreffed by an Honourable Gentleman a few nights fince (Mr. Whitfhed Keene), and when here collected that at this moment there were twenty-nine thoufand militiamen embodied in Ireland, and ftxty •heufand in Great Britain, he felt, that it mutt be an emharraffing ciretunftance to his Majefly'a eovern- I mem, in cafe of invafion of either country by the enemy. that no part of this efficient loi ce could he transferred from either to atria the other without the ton mality of an An of Parliament to authorize the procedure, being iptrediiccd felt - Inn after leffion.— Ile did not mean for the pt dent to make any motion on the fubjed, not knowing what might be the mill tar) plans now in preparation by his Majefty's Mini, tiers, but if that made no part of the plan, he pledg ed himfelf to bring forward a fulanantial prnpufitiou upon the rubjed early in the next feffion. General TARLETONfaid, that having had under his command, at different times, the Militia of both countries, he found them excellent troops; but he was convinced at this moment that all daager of it:- ration to Ireland vanished with the iffue of the battle of 'Trafalgar ; with refped, therefore, to the propo- Eldon cf the Honeutable Gentleman, he thought it much better not to anticipate any conjectures or pro pofals relating to the ryfiem of defence for the coun try, but to await the regular production of the plan in preparation by his Majesty's Minifter, ; and it would be then time enough to fuggeft alterations or improvements, if they were judged necelTary. Lord FOLKSTONE fully agreed in the fentiments expleffed by Mr. LEH, and walled the principle to be finally fettled without the neceffity of bringing forward a Bill upon the fubjed every Seffion. Lord CASTLEREAGH faid, that it was in the contemplation of his Majelly's late Miniflers to have propofed a mode of increafing confider-11)1y the troops of the line, by engrafting a auk on the Irith Mi litia Bill, for enabling the Commanding Officers t• difcharge a certain portion of men from each regi ment, not exceeding fifteen men per company, upon theirl receiving a certain fuss of bounty to recruit thufe men, upon their agreeing to enlist for general fervice. The facility of obtaining recruits Tor the Mat Militia at three guineas per man, compared with the high bounty, twelve guineas, paid in this country for the line, would lead to Inch a competition as very much to decreafe the expences as well as diminifh the difficulties of the recruiting fervice ; and if fuch a projea made no part of the plan in contemplation of his Majelly's Minikes, he would effendiy recom mend it for then adoption, and feel it his duty to fuggeß filch a propnfition when their plan lbould come before the Hnufe. Mr. VANSITTART, at the fame time that ha believed the projeft luggelted by the Noble Lura made no pan of the plan in contemplation, fuggelled the propriety of Gentlemen waiting till the plan itfelf fhould be brought forward, ennead of fuggefting loofely inch propofitions when no quellion was before the Houle. The Report was then read and agreed to ; and the Bill ordered to be engrafted. A perfon from the India Houfe prefented feveral India papers, purfizant to orders of the 27th and 2gth July ; ,which, on the motion of Mr. Paul, were or. dercd to be printed. INDIA }AMU. Mr. ADDINGTON•faid, he did not think it ne eelfary to add ary thing to what had been faid on this fobjedt yelerday, but (aid, that his aka merely was to correa an om Goa is the Order of Juaci 1
