HANOVFII.

HANOVER, SEPT. 4.—Within the last few*
the policy of Hanover. with reference to the Beam
question appears to have taken an entirely new el.
rection. The official journal of the government, as
Hunoverieche Zeit ung, opposes the prejc ct of toe thin
kings. The number of this journal of the 30th of des

since that date several other article have confuse

this idea, and declares that Hanover as well
Saxony have clearly demonstrated that they sae
contemplated the unity of Germany, and not a olds
deration of the north-east of Gcrmai y.
If you ask me whence prreseds this urexpeed
change in the policy of Haeover, I should anent
that in my opinion neither the ministry nor the cart
of Hanover has ever cordially accepted the Fleet

the idea of being devoured by the revolution, Om
of being mediatized by the King of Prussia. It vu
under the influence of this feeling that they ammed
from the one band of Prussia the constitution of Os
three King*, while with the other she defended this
against revolution. Hanover, however, even in this
critical moment contrived to reserve, to keep ask
door open for escape, should the occasion meal

constitution of the three Kings on the understands(
that the other Princes and peoples of Germany skr
also enter into it. Now that our fear seems cos

to release herself from the arms of Pt*

ambassador of Austria. who sat near him," This little
man," pointing to Stove, " wants to make me
Prussian, but I shall take good care he shan't."
It is difficult to say whether M. Steve, and it
ministry with him, shared the opinion of the ewe
meat journal, or whether it is only the court and the
cameral' which combat at once PrOFSIS and tis
Strive ministry in the Hanoverian Moniteur. Thus
are many people who think that LaMar,
that M. Stave himself, is desirous of gathil
rid of the three kings, and that the date*
of being forced to realise the constitution d
the three kings, being augmented cored& rably
the accession of Hamburg and Bremen, he has Ma

his devoted friends in the country, and their nor*
is considerable, from forcing upon him the realised*
of a project which he only admitted in the momeatd
danger, with a view of allowing himself to be leer
at some subsequent period to reject it.
Since the lgranoverian Moniteur has comment)
this opposition to the project of the three kings, eon/
body in Hanover foresees its rejection by the chambir.
The project has met with the same fate in Oldenburg
and at Lubeck, and the entire probability is that
