STATE PAPER.

DECLARATION IN COUNCIL or xis MAJESTY
Tat KING or PRUSSIA, To THE ASSEMBLED DE.
DUTIES or THE HANOVERIAN PROVINCES.

• " GENTLEMEN

" By your' appointment, your Deputy, Count
VON ITARDENBERG, has laid before me your Repre-
sentation of the third instant ; and I' have observed
from it, with satisfaEtion, that you
.have acknow-
ledied with gratitude, my regulationS in regard 'to
the Hanoverian States. The additional sentiments
therein contained are to me a- security, that you
will henceforth be devoted to me and to my House
'with 'the same loyalty which you
.discovered for
your former Sovereigns. I therefore have made no
delay in more closer), learning from your Delegate's
iliese concerns that were entrusted to them by you,
'And .now communicate to you the following answer
.to the Declaration given in by them
" 1. With regard to the secularization of the
Abbey of. Marienrode, and the representation re-
lative thereto, that not only the Constitution of
the States thereby suffired .an alteratien, but that
One of the securities 'thereby appropriated to the
payment of the public revenue, and the discharge
the. public debt, would be withdrawn, should
the- revenues of the said Abbey be inseparably
unilg4.W4h .the., possess- of the domains, con-
trary to the legal agreement between the Impro-
priators, and the States, whereby the revenues accru-
ing from secularized' foundations should be
diStiridly and separately applied to charitable pur-
poses : it 'should be observed, that this 'Abbey ,lem
gaily belongs to 1-11:leslieirn, and tiius my 'particu-
lar regulation' respealing the same can in no way
prejudice-the said Constitnii(-er.---Besides4--ha% e-rx-
pressly established in the Aat.of &cularization, that
in the mean lime no change 'Shall' take place in re-
speLl to the contribution chargeable upon this Ab-
bey towards 'the. _'n revenue and the re-
dempiion,of the .public debt. - "For the 'rest, as it
is far from being my inteetion. to alter the destma-
timr.rof :the ell:eels of the Abbey to charitable pur-
poses, I feel a satisfaEtion in assuring you, that the'
special adminiitration.of such parts as have been
separated :from the domains, and the , applica-
tion thereOf to such beLeficelit anon' landable pur-
poses, shall, e scritputowly continued, and the ut-
most care shall-be taken both to -augment these
revenues by good management, and to ameliorate
the made of applyint; them, by the removal of ex- .
isting abuses:

". 2. The .ad-interim prohibition of home-made
snit is'to be considered solely as an inevitable reguif
lation of police for securing- an equal supply of that
article of primary necessity, and cannot have the ap-
prehended pernicious consequences, Since the supply
of salt will not thereby be dinliaishel, btu will only
receive another diredion.

" 3. The continuance of the hitherto existing
Constitution of the Country in general ; and,

" 4. The continuance of the Provincial Consti,
tutions in particular presuppose that a new and more
intimate acquaintance with them may be more ne-
cessary than the Commission of Organization has
been able to procure in so short a period, nild urulet
such difficult circumstances. But they will inces.
s,a.ntly continue their labours in this respeat, and
I will not 'hereafter' introduce •any arbitrary changes,
but such only as may be necessary to unite, as
intimately as possible, the Hanoverian 'Territory
.with my Monarchy, of which it now constitutes
a part, and to 'govern it by sucti laws as have
been found, by long experience, the fundamen-
tal pillars of the power,, the security, and prospo.
rity of the Prussian -States ; wherefrorn the esta,
blished Constitution will be so little 'excluded, that
it will much rather be- built upon and strengthened,
a.s you may learn from the example of the neigh.
bouring Provinces, Branclenburgh, Magdett,urgh, ate
rialberstadt.'

-5. The Petition, with regard to any new ma
ditications, upon which the _States, together watt;
other privileged orders, who may, perhaps, have
particular. knowledge of the subject, should be Con,
suited, before that introduQion, on account of any
injurious: o..tisNitences apprehended thererorn, is
wholly ,can formable to the spirit of the maxims
Of the Prussian. Gorornment, and will, be. pursued
hy the Commission of Organization in all doubt-
.,t4l 'Cases whatsoever, And without particular itt,

Finally, the military regulations, as soon as
it can :be done with safety, shall be so modified,
that --the grievances of the Country, connected with
the present extraordinary 'measures, shall wholly
cease.

From this answer you Will ;infer,' and I give
you with pleasure the strongest . assurances on this
head, that my whole endeavours are exclusively
direEted to heal the wounds which the- hitherto
unhappy wars have produced, and td 'render yckir
Country completely happy. Neither ambition -nor
the lust of territory, but solely -a convidion
founded, on experience, that the incorporation of
the Hanoverian States with the Prussian Monarchy,
is obviously ,necessary tor the. welfare • and se-
curity of Moth, have determined-me to: this union,
and to the sacrifices conneeted with it. The past
has taught you that England cannot prote& you,
and that you can he protected by. Prussia alone.,---
:Prussia has now taken upon herself this protect ion,
.from .which. you have to expedt grater security of
person.sand of property, as -well as the abolition of
all oppressive abuses which the- distance of your
ltillers produced. But you must also ctosely unite
with a Government which has wrought you all
these blessings, and support, u ith counsel and .ac-
tion, a Constitution which has been decided upon for
your benefit.
,On the tither hand, I will always ap•
prove myself your gracious Sovereign.
(Signed) " FR EDiatICK WILLIAM."
