. COUNT lIIKARCK A LIBERAdp,
The Ookillifilietsreite has the followinitiP4':
We have no great confidence in Count von Dinar&
but we are bound to say that we believe the force of cir-
eumetanoes will compel him to keep his promise with re.
spent to a Oerman parliament. He owanot do otherwise
than uphold a liberal and a German policy. The Italian
alliance and the war against Austria are in themselves a
rupture with the conservative party. Herr roe Gelach.
the chief of that party, has already formally
separated himself from Count Bismarck. Prussia had to
make the oonvoeation of a German parliament the condi-
tion of her ultimatum. It is now for the German nation
to support this condition and to bring about its execution.
The whole nation is agreed that the late Diet is gone for
ever. Austria herself said as much in 1863. We must
reform the constitution : let it be the work of the whole
nation. On the one side are the princes and despotism ;
on the other the nation, the parliament, and liberty. God
grant that the King of Prussia may comprehend the neces-
sity of giving to the present struggle its true character. Let
him call around him and to his government man of the
liberal party selected fairly from all the German states,
and then the spirit of the German nation will be enlisted
under the Prussian standards.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a proclamation
from the Prussian General Beyer to the Hessians,
in which he designates them as " brothers," and
states that it is not'against them he has taken up
arms by the oommand of his master, but against
their government, which had refused to enter into
a pacific understanding with Prussia for the or-
ganisation of Germany on the basis of the interesta
of their common country :
I come (says the Prussian general) to extend to you
a fraternal band. Grasp it, and erase to obey those who
would make you our enemies.

HANOVER AND SAXONY.
The No►d furnishes the following details as to
the incidents which preceded the arrival of the

Asian troops in Hanover :
On the 15th, at an advanced hour of the night, the
chief magistrate and municipal oonaail waited on the
King to beg him not to abandon the country, but to take
measures to preserve the peace of the kingdom. The King,
who granted this audience in presence of the Queen and
Prince Royal, declared, in an allocution explaining the vote
of Hanover at the sitting of the Germanic Diet, that Prus-
sia had put forward demands the scoomplishment of
which would mediatise the realm and annihilate the inde-
pendence of the crown and country. His Majesty added
that he could not possibly defend the capital against supe-
rior forces, and that he was going to concentrate his troops
in the south of the kingdom ; however painful this deter-
mination might be to him, he could not do otherwise;
his duties as • Christian, a king, and a Guelph obliged
him. The Queen then said, with tears in her eyes, that
she had formed the resolution of remaining under the pro-
tection of the citizens of the capital. Towards 3in
the morning the King and the Prince Royal left Hanover,
after having addressed to the authorities of the city a
letter recommending the Queen and Royal Princesses to
their care. During the following day the Queen showed
herself several times in the street, and was everywhere re-
ceived with the warmest marks of sympathy. Prince
Ysenburg, Minister of Prussia, who remains in Hanover as
a private individual, has promised the Queen, in the name
of his government, complete security for her person and
property.
The Ministers of Hanover, Saxony, and Electoral
Hesse are at Vienna, and take part in the cabinet
councils held there.
One of the first acts of the Prussian army in
Saxony has been to establish the conscription as in
Prussia, and to make an immediate levy of men,
to be incorporated in the Prussian army.
