At the sitting of tba Upper House. to-day, the
bill hiconalarnsatiest to this deposed German sieve-
mins came on for debate. Hem rem Bs•nsek
asked whether the government still adhswed to Me
trinity with the ex-Kit:got Hanover, after the inci-
dents that bad cosarred in cosimazien with the
Hanoverian logirm. The Finance Minister selplied
in the affirmative. The government bad tnkeis the
intrigusis a/ladsid to into serious osarideration. If,
after the bill was passed into law andpromulgated,
King George continued to act in o spirit opposed
to the, treaty, the government would attach. hit
property, and not deliver up one thole: until it
was convinced the treaty would be faithfully ob-
served. The house then unanimously passed the
bill The bill relating to the establishment of a
provincial fund for Hanover then came under dis-
cussion. The bill was supported by the Minister
of Finance, and adopted by LW against 14 votes,
in the form in which it peened the Lower House.
