HANOVER.

HANOVER, JAN. 25 —lt is affirmed by persons whose situ-
ation enables them to be acquainted with what is passing,
that the deputies to the Estates, before they begin their la-
bours, will be required to sign a paper, in which they recog-
nise the constitution of 1819, as now in force. Now, it may
be well foreseen how many deputies will refuse to sign this en-
gagement, and how those who may be induced to sign it would
certainly not fail to insist upon the complete purity of the con-
stitution of IM9, consequently, on the re-establishment of the
Treasury board, to which the cabinet, if it will adhere to the
system it has hitherto followed, cannot possibly agree. It is
said that Count Munster will not yet be Minister of the Coun-
cil of State, because, as is reported, he has expressed his dis-
approbation because the constitution of 1819 is not completely
re-established. Messrs. Leist and Kleusi will be secretaries,
as we hear, and the Prince of Solms president of the council.
OSNABURG, JAN. 25.—.1t is impossible to describe the im-
pression made on our citizens by the King's rescript of the
15th instant, addressed to the magistrates, on account of the
application to foreign universities for their opinion respecting
the levying of the taxes. Consternation and great sorrow at
the King's displeasure was the first feeling- that manifested it-
self on Sunday, when the rescript became known here; at the
same time the affection and veneration which the magistrates
have long enjoyed were apparent in the expressions of indivi-
duals and of larger circles.
" All minds," says a letter from Hanover, " are filled with
the question whether the States, summoned for February 15,
will meet in sufficient numbers to proceed to business. Several
members of the First Chamber sent in their resignations some
time ago, and others have since followed their example.
Among these are Count Schulenberg Wolffaburg, and Messrs.
De Ladehur, De Busche, Ippenberg, and De Wincka. The
Government has forbidden all the members of the two Cham-
bers who hold law offices to take their seats, because they
are known to belong to the Opposition."

Since our last, we have received North- Western Journals of
the 21st, 22d and 24th. Sha Soojah, it will be seen by our
extracts from the Delhi Gazette, has started from Loodianah
to Shikarpore ; and we are further reminded of the approach-
ing movement by those bustling preparations detailed by our
contemporary, and which we extract under the proper head.
The Agra Journal notices certain rumours to the effect,
that but half the army will proceed beyond Ferczepoor ; that
its route will be through Lahore; that Sir Henry Fang has de-
termined to resign his command ; and that the Governor-
General will proceed to Lahore after the meeting at Feroze-
poor. The same Journal, on the authority of private letters,
states that Agra is about to be erected intto a distinct and in-
dependent Presidency. We are sorry to perceive from the
statements of both our Contemporaries, that considerable in-
subordination begins to manifest itself throughout those dis-
tricts, and that attempts are daily made by very suspicious emis-
sarie; N excite the hostile feelings of the inhabitants against
our ;,-;vernment
vve have re,:fived the Bengal Papers of the 19th. Those
of the 20th and 21st :re now due. The contents of those
which have reached us are ~: no interest, as they are chiefly
occupied in speculations whether o: not Herat has fallen.
Madras Papers of the 24th and 2Gln .
have been received:
there is no news of importance from that gorter—we per-
ceive that the Government are busily engageci in making
inquiries relative to certain suspicious-looking strangers who
have lately appeared in the sister Presidency. .
The Rajah of Kolapoor died on the 29th ultimo at Yeotee,
a village near Punderpoor, when proceeding on a pilgrimage

mafeied from Vingorla with a detachment of that corps, for
t e purpoZ of assisting the civil authorities at Sawuntwarrie.
•
At 4 a.m. of the 6th, Captain Duff succeeded in capturing
the fort, and releasic:j the Rajah, his son, and the Prime Mi-
nister. About ninety of he armed insurgents were made pri-
soners, and handed over to gr. Spooner, the political agent.
This gallant gentleman (for we are sure our military readers
will be happy to admit his claim to that appellation) was one
of the very first who entered the fort. On the Bth the de-
tachment returned to Vingorla, and tranquillity appeared per-
fectly restored.
Yesterday forenoon the small steamer, built by the Govern-
ment to receive the engine of the late steamer Indus, was
launched from the dock-yard, and glided into her proper ele-
ment most gracefully.
She is named, we believe, The Snake, and is propelled by
one engine of ten-horse power, carries about five days coals,
with a draft of two feet water without her coals, and consumes
about 2} tons per day.
This forenoon the iron steamer sent out by the Honourable
tiko Court of Directors, built at the Birken Head Iron Works,
by Mr. John Laird, and put up in this country, will be launched
from the dock-yard.
She measures 115 feet in length, 24 feet beam, with engines
of sixty-horse power. These, we are informed, are on board
the ship Morley, from London, and are expected to arrive
here in January. Both these steamers, we understand, aro
intended for the river Indus.
