Count Senttteneuton, the new Prussian Go +, mor of Hamster, arrived there on the 4rlt in stant; and having announced his appointment, proceeded to take possession of that Elcaorate, i 3 the name of the King of PRUSSIA. On the best day, the Sth, Proclamations were issued, announcing the intention of His Patent ati MA• Jesiv to appropriate the German Dominions of His BeITANNIC MAJESTY to himself; and direning every Constitute , l Authority, and the body of the people, immediately te take the Oaths of Allegi laner to the King of l'aussi A as their Sovereign ! ! ! consequent: of these Proclamations, His Berea mem MAJESTY'S Arms have been taken down from the Tribunals and Public Offices throughout Hannver ; sad the several Public Funßionaries are prohibited, under the severest penalties, from main taming any correspondence whatever with the King of GREAT BiItITAIN, or with His English er Get man Ministers ! Court SemeLestaunon also demanded of Lord C•esicissr, the surrender, to the Prussian Govesn ment. of a 3 the German recruits enlisted for the German Legion. His Lordship very properly re fused, and a warm correspondence is said to have taken place; during which, Lord Car nese r ern harked the recruits on board the transports in the rine The German Legion and the British troops wets also embarked. We stated, in a former Paner, upon the authority of the Foreign Journals, that a Convention had been entered into by the French and Prussian Go vernments, stipulating, that the King of PRUSSIA was to occupy Hanover until the conclusion of a general peace, and the Allies were to evacu ate the Eleaorate, and the British troops to return home. It becomes, therefore, a ryes tien, whether the Prussian Governor took pos session in conformity with the provisions of the Convention, or whether he seized it as the absoluze prope.ty of his Matter, to be held in perpetuity, and in bill Sovereignty, by the King of PRUSSIA ? Some persons contend for the latter crinstraietion. They '_ that Prussia . I . O S...MOVE?' as ats) aobtained /4 in de .t , ,ity for the cettien of Anspach and Bayreuth. 4 11.1 asi ter the Convention merely as a strata ;you, procure an easy -ndmissica into the Elec. tome, and they rep es-nt Fasors ice as ow. vying Bo in fraud and treachery. Not Laying seen a copy of the Proclarrt.tinns issued by Count Sone.rossunsait, nor of the oath, we e.nnnt knew whether iney are absolute or condi. ;ion s ! ; ant, therefore, are not competent to pro stunre ne qu / ny of the poseession which has Is: -1 i.aken. The taking down of His Bat eau/4.c Nirrirrv's arms, and the prohibition of all ire rcourse, are both consistent with a provisional nc anoancy ; and, with respeet to the German recruits, it Hanover were to remain in a state of neutrality , it might be con ce i ve d, w i t h some co l our of justice, that the raising of recruits there for His Bair ANNIC Menne, was a violation of the Convention.— Ilenn the whole, therefore, we are inclined to think, that the King of PRUSSIA has not yet set himself op as the absolute Sovereign of Hanover; and that be has altered into possession merely as a provi sional occupant. To suppose the contrnry, would be to represent him as treacherous, selfish, and cow ardly, without temptation ; for, admitting his do sinus upon Hanover to be sinister and insidious, he is under on necessity of disclosing them at this par ticular moment The course, which, in such a case, policy wooid suggest, wood be to eteablisla him self at first in possestii,n, as a mere temporary eecup int, and when his government was con. Armed, then to set up as absolute owner. The difficulties respeking the recruits have, we under stand, been surmounted; and the German Legion !wen suffered to proceed to the coast for embark noon, on its return to England. It is report:ed, that the King of Puiviss • is to take pssession of The rrien: this can only be at present a matter of cnnjec tete. We received a letter, on Saturday, from Bre rnen, dated the 30th ultimo, and at that tune it was em known there that such a nazasure was in con templation.
