Sta—l hasten to fulfil the prornis.e given to Lord
Harrowby, on the Bth of this month, to communi-
cate to you, Sir, as soon as a final decision should be
taken on the subject, the additional circumstances se-
latityr to the security of the North of Germany, and
to the guarantee by the King, of the safety of those
British troops which are in that part of the Conti-
nent.
A Messenrr frdtn Munich has just brought His
Maj:sty intelligence of the consummation of the
arrangements which the present conjuncture of af-
fairs has induced him to enter into with France, inn?.
der to save those Countries, and especially the States
of Hanover, from the misfortunes of another ruin-
ous war, and to insure their tranquillity. As these
arrangements stipulate particularly the committing
of that country to the exclusive guard of the Prus-
sian troops, and to the administration of the Kim,
until the conclusion ,!e. a Pence teircen Eutaw/ ea
Frame; His Majesty could not delay taking the ne-
cessary measures for the entry therein of a Corps of
his army, which will he under the orders of Lis Ex-
cellency the General of Cavalry, Count Schulenberg
Kelinert, to whom also the King has confided the
administration of the country. His Majesty, ani-
mated by the most lively desire to see the import-
ance and the urgency of the motives which have in-
duced him to take these steps, justly appreciated by
His Britannick Majesty, and his enlightened Minis-
ters, has directed Baron Jacobi to give a detailed
explanation thereof at London.
It would he superfluous to point out to your men-
lion, how urgent and indispensible in the present state
of affairs, the re-embarkation at the English troops
in the North of Germany is become; since the re-
treat of the foreign troops is the condition upon which
France has promised not to order her troops to
re-enter Hanover, and since also it was upon this
supposition alone, that the King guaranteed their
security, I presume, that Lord Cathcart has already
received, and is upon the point of executing the Or-
ders of his Court for the return of those troops, for
winch transports have been waiting for some time
past. I have, howevert to request, Sir, that you
would, for the purpose of still further di,sgtoccht,
write to Lh CA at Commander in W( arils ab• • .
and, acquainting him with thepresent circumstances.
that you would induce him to hasten, in far as de-
pends on him, a measure, in which these circum-
stances, and the approaching arrival of our troops,
will not admit of any delay.
I request you to accept the reiterated assurance of
my high and perfect consideration.

We, Frederic William, by the grace cf God.
King of Prussia, &c. &c. hereby make known, Ste.
After the events which have terminated in pbace
between Austria and France, all per endeavours
have been directed to ward off from these thistriffs
the flames of war, and its disastrous conseeptences,
which momentarily threatened the North of Ger-
many, and particularly the countries of the Elec-
torate of Brunswick. With this view, and as the
only possible means in attain it. a Convention lias
been made and concluded between us and the Em-
peror of the French, in pursuance of wliicii, the
States of His Britannic Majesty in Germany will
not be again occupied by French, or other troops
combined with them ; and, till the conclusiou of a
general Peace, will be wholly occupied and go-
verned by us ; in pursuance of which, we have
cans, d the Brunswick hleCtural Countries to he ne•
eu;..ted by the corps under the command of our
General of Cavalry, Count Vander Scholenburgh
Kennett, to whom, iu our name, and till the Peace,
we entrust the administration of the said countries,
in stiztt manner that, through him, and the com-
mission of government which he may think proper
to appoint, r-11 affairs relatiag to the government of
the country may be transaaed, and the necessary
orders thereto communicated to the interior Mas-
giatracy and Magistrates.
We therefore charge. as well those, as the prolate'.
nobles, citizens, and all subjeCts and inhabitants of
the said country. without exception, to conform
themselves duly to these dispositions made fur their
welfare; and also to the commands of our brfore-
mentioned commissaries of administration, and the
commission by them to be appointed, as well with
regard to civil as military affairs ; nut only not
throwing any impediment in the way of our troops
which are to march in, but to assist and afford
' them all the information in their power ; and in the
MO or more general affairs of the country, and
also in propositions and petitions thereto relating.
alone and 0..1y to address themselves to the before-
mentioned commissaries of administration, as stand-
ing highest under our immediate orders.
As by this measure we have m view the repose
Jed tranquillity of the North of Germany and of
the Brunswick States, so we have resolved to pay
out of our Treasury for the necessaries for our
troops, according to the peace estanlishosent, and
leaving the extraordinary expences of a state of
war to be defrayed by the country ; while we, on
another band, 0411 take care in. general. that its
revenues, duriug our administration, after deduifling
the cal:maces of government. shall wily be aaro-
rusted MA in advantage.

•
We further promise, that our troops 611211 observe
the striAest discippline ; that a tention shall he given
to all just complaints ; and in general, that everyr
quiet and peaceable inhabitant shall be maintained':
in bit property and rights, and, in case of need, be.
vigorosuly protelted ; but 0,44 on the contrary‘
those sk l u may refuse to conform themselves to the.
dispozi,icns conchtded on, and the measures which

have been taken, or who may dare to eminteran
them in anywise, will have to reproach themselves
for the rigid and di,agreeable consequences which
wia un ivoit!ably result to them.

Jacob, K:het.t, flak 17th Ma•ch
The Uadersigned is commanded Cy Hi. Majesty,
to state to Baran Jacobi Kloest for the information

of his Court, the great anxiety felt by His Majesty
at the manner in which possession has been taken of
the Eleetorate of Hanover. If His Prussian Ma-
jesty judged it expedient, in,order to prevent French
troops from approaching so near that part of his
frontier, to take to himself the military occupation
of the Eleaorate, it does not appear to His Majesty,
that it was by any means necessary that the Civil
Government of that unhappy country should be sub-
vested. or that an army more numerous, and conse.
quently more injurious to the inhabitantsi. than ne-
cessity required, should be matrtaired-fbere. Llis
Majesty relies, with the greatest confidence, on His
Prussian Majesty's Declaration, that the present os-
cupation is merely temporary ; but l his Majesty can-
not but express a wish, that the declaration on this
point were more solemnly made in the face of
Europe. The honour of the Court of Berlin, as
well as the consideration mutually due to each other
from two Princes, so nearly conneeted in blood and
alliance, seem to call for a clear explanation on this
important subjeft.
I lis Istajesty on his part desires to be equally ex-
plicit, and to put an end to all hopes, if such indced
have been entertained by the Court of Berlin, that
any convenience of political arrangement, much less
any offer of equivalent or indemnity, will ever
duce His Majesty so far to forget what is due to his
own legitimate rights, as well as to the exemplary
fidelity and attachment of his Hanoverian subjefts, as
to consent to the alienation of the Elefforate.
His Majesty learns with concern, that it is in agi-
tation to Icire up Anspach and other parts of His
Prussian Majesty's dominions to Bavaria, in conse-
quence of a Convention with France ; but he does
not pretend any right to interfere, or to give any'
opinion. with respell to the propriety of the mea- •
sures,' whatever they may be, which His Prossiatt3
Majesty may deem eligible for the interests of hill'
crown and peophs ; at the same time it is to be ob-
served; that His Majesty, whether in his capacity
of King of Great Britain,or in that of Eleftor of Ha-
nover, was in no wise a party to the convention al-
luded to, or responsible for its consequences. The
cessions, therefore, whirls His Prussian Majesty may
make to His Majesty's enemies, can surely never be
alleged as a justification of taking to himself His
Majesty's lawful inheritance.
His Majesty, therefore h
'Majesty will ?ono*.
the lion
own heart, and will demonstrate to the world, that
whatever sacrifices the present circumstances may
induce him to make, with respell to Lis own tet •i-
-tortes, he will not set the dreadt ul example of indem-
nifying himself as the expence of a third party,
whose sentiments and condui towards His Prussian
Majestyand his subjefts, have been uniformly friendly
and pacific.

Donning-street, March 17. ICA.
(Translation of No. 4..—o• Note Verbale.
Until the explosion of the last continental war,
His Prussian Majesty had no other objet in view,
than to secure the tranquillity of his monarchy, and
that of the neighbouring states.
He was then able to effect this upon terms which
met the entire approbation of every court. He has
been desirous of doing the 'Arne since the breaking
out of the present war. But the choice of the means
has no longer been in his power. France has con-
sidered Hanover as her conquest, and her troops
were on the point of entering it for the purpose of
dispf"ing of it definitively, according to the pleasure
of the French Emperor, without the possibility of
His Britannic Majesty's preventing it.
The occuaation of that country by His Prussian
Majesty, and the shutting of the ports in the Ger-
man seas, and that of Lubeck, against the British
Rag. (as was the case during Me possession of Ha-
nover by the French), were the iod spensible condi-
tions of an arrangement by which the country is
secured against the entry of foreign troops, and t!;e
quiet of the North of Germany preserved.
This has not been obtained without painful sacri-
fices on His Majesty's part. Those of the House of
Hanovcr are in nu degree to be attributed to the
King's measures, but are the inevitable consequences
of a war, which ins conciliating policy has in vain
endeavoured to prevent. I his war might have pro-
duced still more serious coswqurnces. The treaty
between Prussia and France at least perste.% the
Northern States from farther evils, and could every
power but duly appreciate how much th:y are in-
debted to the system he has adopted, the King
would with justice obtain the gratitude of all.

In a treaty which has been concluded between
His Majesty the King of Prussia, my most gracious
sovereign, and Hi: Imperial Majesty the Emperor
of France and King of Italy, it has been stipulated,
that the ports of the North Sea, as well as all rivers
running into it, shall be shut against the British
ships and trade, in the same manner as when the
French troops occupied the states of Hanover. In
contormity to the orders I have received. I make
this known to those whom it may concern. that
they may guard against the consequences, as the
troops of the King my master have received orders
to warn off and not t admit such English ships as
may endeavour to eater these ports and rivers, and
as all necessary and proper measures will be adopted
to prevent the inundation and traosit of British
goods. (Signed)
