PRUSSIA AND HANOVER.
BRUSSELS, Jurre 11.

The Nord of to-day publishes the folloying
telegram from Hamburg dated yesterday :—" The
negotiations between Prussia and Hanover, relative
to the observance of neutrality by the latter state,
in case of war between Austria and Prussia, have
not proved successful. In consequence of the
threats of the Prussian government that it would
prevent Hanover from placing her military forces
upon a war footing, the latter has decided to dis-
continue the negotiations, and has, therefore,
notified to the Berlin cabinet that, being desirous
of conforming to the stipulations of the Federal
Pact, her subsequent resolutions will be
dependent upon the decision of the Federal Diet.
Various circumstances would appear to point out
' that hostilities will commence with the occupation
of Hanover by Prussia." The truth of this infor-
mation is greatly doubted.

PRUSSIAN ULTIMATUM TO AUSTRIA.
