TtTTSDAY. PEI% UM rt..

Count Senttteneuton, the new Prussian Go-
+, mor of Hamster, arrived there on the 4rlt in-
stant; and having announced his appointment,
proceeded to take possession of that Elcaorate,
i 3 the name of the King of PRUSSIA. On the
best day, the Sth, Proclamations were issued,
announcing the intention of His Patent ati MA•
Jesiv to appropriate the German Dominions of
His BeITANNIC MAJESTY to himself; and direning
every Constitute,l Authority, and the body of the
people, immediately te take the Oaths of Allegi-
laner to the King of l'aussi A as their Sovereign ! ! !
consequent: of these Proclamations, His
Berea mem MAJESTY'S Arms have been taken down
from the Tribunals and Public Offices throughout
Hannver ; sad the several Public Funßionaries are
prohibited, under the severest penalties, from main-
taming any correspondence whatever with the King
of GREAT BiItITAIN, or with His English er Get-
man Ministers !
Court SemeLestaunon also demanded of Lord
C•esicissr, the surrender, to the Prussian Govesn-
ment. of a 3 the German recruits enlisted for the
German Legion. His Lordship very properly re-
fused, and a warm correspondence is said to have
taken place; during which, Lord Car nese r ern
harked the recruits on board the transports in the
rine The German Legion and the British troops
wets also embarked.
We stated, in a former Paner, upon the authority
of the Foreign Journals, that a Convention had
been entered into by the French and Prussian Go-
vernments, stipulating, that the King of PRUSSIA
was to occupy Hanover until the conclusion of a
general peace, and the Allies were to evacu-
ate the Eleaorate, and the British troops to
return home. It becomes, therefore, a ryes-
tien, whether the Prussian Governor took pos-
session in conformity with the provisions of the
Convention, or whether he seized it as the absoluze
prope.ty of his Matter, to be held in perpetuity, and
in bill Sovereignty, by the King of PRUSSIA ? Some
persons contend for the latter crinstraietion. They
'_ that Prussia .I.OS...MOVE?' as ats) aobtained /4
in-
de .t,,ity for the cettien of Anspach and Bayreuth.
411.1 asi ter the Convention merely as a strata-
;you, procure an easy -ndmissica into the Elec.
tome, and they rep es-nt Fasors ice as ow.
vying Bo in fraud and treachery. Not
Laying seen a copy of the Proclarrt.tinns issued
by Count Sone.rossunsait, nor of the oath, we
e.nnnt knew whether iney are absolute or condi.
;ions! ; ant, therefore, are not competent to pro-
stunre ne qu / ny of the poseession which
has Is: -1 i.aken. The taking down of His Bat-
eau/4.c Nirrirrv's arms, and the prohibition of all
ire rcourse, are both consistent with a provisional nc-
anoancy ; and, with respeet to the German recruits,
it Hanover were to remain in a state of neutrality,
it might be conceived, with some colour of justice,
that the raising of recruits there for His Bair ANNIC
Menne, was a violation of the Convention.—
Ilenn the whole, therefore, we are inclined to think,
that the King of PRUSSIA has not yet set himself
op as the absolute Sovereign of Hanover; and that
be has altered into possession merely as a provi-
sional occupant. To suppose the contrnry, would
be to represent him as treacherous, selfish, and cow-
ardly, without temptation ; for, admitting his do
sinus upon Hanover to be sinister and insidious, he
is under on necessity of disclosing them at this par-
ticular moment The course, which, in such a case,
policy wooid suggest, wood be to eteablisla him-
self at first in possestii,n, as a mere temporary
eecup int, and when his government was con.
Armed, then to set up as absolute owner. The
difficulties respeking the recruits have, we under-
stand, been surmounted; and the German Legion
!wen suffered to proceed to the coast for embark-
noon, on its return to England. It is report:ed, that
the King of Puiviss • is to take pssession of The-
rrien: this can only be at present a matter of cnnjec-
tete. We received a letter, on Saturday, from Bre-
rnen, dated the 30th ultimo, and at that tune it was
em known there that such a nazasure was in con-
templation.

We have given a review of the political events of
