The Prince of Augustenbarg, it appears, has
resolved to defer to the desire of the Diet, relative to
the justification of his claim to the succession.
Counsellors Samwer, Michelsen, and Haenel have
been charged to draw up this memorandum which,
at most, can only reproduce the documents and
arguments already known. Several journals have
stated that the Prince had been requested to leave
the country, but advices from Hamburg represent
these rumours to be altogether unfounded.
