HAMBURG, San. 12.

The question of the oath of allegiance to the
Kingof Prussia continues to disturb the consciences
of the civil functionaries, and especially the clergy
of the late Hanoverian dominions. A deputation
of the latter has waited on General von Voight-
Rheetz, the new provisional governor-general, to
' ask to be relieved from taking the oaths for the
present, and were answered in a most handsome
manner, that the Prussian government fully ap-
preciated the difficulty of theirsituation, and would
not insist on it, being convinced that a simple de-
claration or promise from men of such a high sense
of honour as the Hanoverian clergy would be as
binding to them as the most solemn oath. This
concession, and the flattering way in which it was I
made, have given great satisfaction, and gone a
long way to smooth down the many existing asL
perities which are natural in such a sudden and
unexpected change in the dynasty of that. kingdom.
• The passing of the law for the incorporation of
the conquered territories with Prussia has led to
no demonstrations, except at Emdenandsome other
places in East Friesland, where the inhabitants
gave expression to their feelings of joy and India-
faction by a great and general display of Prussian
flags on the roofs of their houses. I remember
some years ago, when making a tour in East
Friesland, being struck with finding pictures of
Frederick the Great in many of the houses of
peasants and villagers, and on inquiring who they
were meant for, received the universal answer of
" That is the portrait of our King ;" and it was
their firm conviction that they were 'then living
under the tegis of the Prussian black eagle, and
had in their unsophisticated and happy ignorance
never heard of their transfer to Hanover in 1815.
Speaking, as they do, a distinct language of their
own, it is just as likely that they may never hear
of the present changes, by which they are trans-

ferred back to their former sovereigns, and the, as
they have lived, in the full conviction of having
always been Prussian subjects.
King George V. has set apart a considerable sum

of money to endow a charitable institution under
the name of the " George Fund," for the support of
the widows and orphans of those of his soldiers and
non-commissioned officers who were killed at the
battle of Langensalza, and the relief of those who
were wounded there. Herr Bergmann, an official
in the former Ministry of War at Hanover, has
been authorised to make the needful arrangements
and organise the institution, to which a school is to
be attached for the education of the children, and
subsequently to bind them as apprentices to learn
the trade they may select as their calling.
At Hildesheim an indignation meeting has been
held to protest against the imputations cast on
them by the Baron von Munchausen, as speaker of
the late so-called deputation to Berlin in favour of
the deposed dynasty. Resolutions were unani-
mously passed condemning the baron's words as
untrue, stigmatising the acts of the deputation as
their own personal views, or those of a hole-and-
corner meeting of the nobles of which nobody ever
heard a word previously, and solemnly asserting
their most cheerful willingness to be received back
into their former relations with, and allegiance to,
Prussia.

The Court Theatre at Hanover having been
erected by moneys taken out of the public treasury
with the consent of the chambers, is declared to be
the property of the Prussian state ; but it was
questionable to whom belonged the decorations,
machinery, and other properties, as they were
mostly paid for out of the King's civil list, not-
withstanding which they have all been declared by

the Prussian law officers to be .tale property, in

consequence of which decision formal possession
was taken on Friday last and an inventory made.
As it is understood that the Crown Prince of
Prussia is to reside permanently at Hanover as
viceroy, the Court Theatre is to be kept up on its
late footing as a first-rate establishment. A M.
de Bequignolles, formerly an actor and subse-
quently artistical director of the. Ducal Theatre at
Wiesbaden, is appointed director under the super-
intendence of Herr von Hillsen, director-general
of the royal theatres at Berlin.

11.1 now transpired that the negotiations
pending between the government of Prussia and
the Grand Duke of Oldenburg are not for in ex-
change of the latter's grand duchy for Schleswig-
Hobstein--as was at first stated—but only for a
transfer to Prussia of the so-called pribeipality of
Lubeck, which belongs to him, consisting of tie
territory of Eutin and Schwartau, two little

enclaves situated in Holstein, between Kiel and the
city of Lubeck, for giving up posseaaion of which
he is to be indemnified by a piece of territory of I
equal size and value on the left bank of the
Weser, and adjoining him own grand ducal do-
minions.
