GERMANY.
The Frankfort Journal gives the following from
Shittgardt relative to the arrival of the King of
Hanover, on his visit of mediation to the King of
Wirtemberg
"What the plenipotentiaries of the Berlin Conference,
now closed, what the different Ministers, could not effect,
the King of Hanover has undertaken. His Majesty has
arrivrd here to endeavour to prevent a total break up of
the Zollverein, and to mediate between the Cabinets of
the Coalition States and Berlin. We are assured on
good authority that this princely and patriotic effect
will, as far as Wirtemberg is concerned, succeed. At
the same time we hear that those who have entertained
the apprehension or the hope that Hanover would try to
withdraw from the treaty of September will, according
to expressions that have fallen front his Majesty, be un-
deceived. His Majesty has declared distinctly that
Hanover will adhere to the treaty with Prussia."
