especial care of the interest an.l welfare of his peo,
ple, in his late appointment of, a firm and efficient
Administration, on whose abilities they can with
confidence rely, and under whose guidance tilt),
hope to be delivered from the dangers aid difficul-
ties that now threaten them."

ME. SHIPLEY seconded the Motion, observing,
that His Majesty had been graciously pleased to
lea men of approved talents, ep.rience, and great
integrity ; and the simple question was, whether
His Majesty did not deserve their warmest thanks?
Mr. HAWEIss paid massy compliments to the int
speaker ; his whole speech, he thought, should be
the Address. He was rot tor milk and water thanks,
but for pledging their lives and fortunes.
Mr. ELLIst made some observations unfavourable
to Mr. Pitt, and yet was unfriendly to an Address,

Mr. Fos ;. r.nsi that it was a recommenslattoa 'that
he was a French Courtier. • 1

every idea that he argued the case as if it were Ai:

Two cf the Hamburg h blails due, those of the
4th tad 7th, arrived yesterday morning, and tile
3d, that of the I lth, arrived at a late hour ll.t
nfiLde..- Our -readers are apprised that the nth in-
stant was the day on which Prussia was rakeed to
take- possession of Hanover. There are letters
from Hanover of the Bth, but they take no notice
Of any thing that spay have passed on the sth or
Eth. They state, however, that on the 7th the
Duke of BeIIaSWICK entered the city of Hanover,
and marched to Cell, where a PrasSian Field
Hospital had arrived. Upon the quality of she
possession taken by Prussia, there is nothing
decisive, but there is reason to fear that Power
has been playing a foul g ime —Oa the night
of the 7th, not fewer &AO six couriers arrir.
cd at, or left Hanover, on the part of the Bri-
tish, Russians, and PrUNHAGS. Vary this activity of
couriers, unless something new and unexpeded hal
arisen? But there is* stronger circeunstanoe. The
Hanoverian Minister, Count Mu%srEll, previous to
hie•deperture from that Electorate, published •
ireclam.cion to the inhabitants, dated the 3d in-
Stant, advising them to make no resistance to she
measutes about to be adopted, " as the Russian army,
now under the cerarnand of the Xing of Prussia,
most quit the Electorate, the English were obliged
to rerwn home, arid the King of Swener was aiiabie
to defend tile country against a measure, which
France and Prussia had concerted in common."—
It is evidentlram the language of this Proclama-
tion, thee Count MCKSTIM regarded the possession
meditated by Prussia as an hostile proCeeiling. The
