PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Accrra 22, Evwwo.

The Provincial Uorresporuienot of this evening
says :—" To connect the annexed States with
Primula by a mere personal union, in the Rune way
as Lauenburg, is far from being the intention of
the Prussian government. The King aesumes the
government of those States, not as King of Hano-
ver, or Elector of Hinge Cassel, Jac., but as King
of Prussia, and in the name of the Prussian mo-
narchy. The assumption of the sovereignty of
these States on the basis of Article Erb of the Con-
stitution was effected because it was ne-

oessary that the establishment and pro-
mulgation of the permanent sovereignty of
Prussia over them should take place without
delay, and because many preparations were neces-
sary before they could be adapted to the Prussian
constitutional and administrative system_ The
Prague negotiations have led to a complete under-
standing in all that is essential. Only a few ques-
tions of formality still remain to be settled, and
the signature of the treaty of peace is daily ex-
pected. Peace has already been concluded with
Baden and Wurtemberg. Bavaria cedes to Prussia
a few districts in order to round off the southern
portion of Electoral Hesse. Hesse-Darmstadt gives
up Homburg, and resigns to Prussia the exclusive
right of garrisoning Ments, while Upper Hesse
enters into a military and political union with the
North German Confederation. All these States
will pay Prussia certain sums to defray the war
expenses."

THE PRUSSIAN CRADIBERS.

BERLIN. Amon 22, EvEtrngo.

To-day in the Chamber of Deputies the com-
mittee on the Annexation Bill held a sitting, at
which Count Bismarck was present. Count
Schwerin and Herren Kirchman.n and Buckram
Doffs brought forward an amendment, having for
its object to convert the personal union proposed
by the bill into an immediate absolute union.
Count Bismarck explained the reasons for the course
adopted by the government, and expressed himself
favourably disposed towards the amendment, pro-
mining to consult with the rest of the ministry on
the subject. It is not yet decided when the next
sitting of the committee will take place.
Herr von Forkenbeck has drawn up a new draft
of an address, partly composed of the draft of the
old liberal party, from which several passages
hare been omitted, while several new ones have
been added. The address committee have pro-
mised to withdraw the draft which they recently
adopted, and that of Herr von Forkenbeck will
probably be accepted by them to-morrow. All the
fractions, excepting the catholic and Poles, have
agreed to vote for the new address without debate.

which she will cede to Prussia is of insignificant
extent. The Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt
cedes Heeae-Homburg to Prussia, and the latter
power will henceforth enjoy the exclusive right of
garrisoning Mentz. The Patric of this evening,
