a sitting before Wednesday, on which day it is ex-
pected that the Chambers will unite in secret Coin-
mittee, to hear the report of the Commission ap-
pointed to prepare the project of an Address to the
King. It is announced that there will be a sitting
this day (Tuesday) in the Chamber of Peers, for the
same object.
Prussia will certainly obtain a military rood, a
league in breadth, from the Lahn to the Wei ri,
passing through the country of Nassau, the Grand
Duchy of Hesse, Electoral Hesse, Saxe-Mei..iii-
gen, Gotha, and Weimar, without, however, re,
ceiving one town or village. The Princes injured
will receive an indemnity in money.
