HANOVER, FEB. In reference to the Royal
Publication of the I:l.th of Noveinber last, in which
his Majesty was pleased to communicate to his Ger-
man Subjects the object of my mission, I feel my-
self bound to acquaint my fellow-citiens with the
reasons which render it•indiSpensibly necessary to
hasten my return to England, and Which, alas have
thron new obstacles in the way of bls Majesty's
patriotic views.

As in consequence of the unfortunate termi-
nation of the War in the South of Germany, the
Northern part of the Empire was again threatened
with the incursions of the Enemy, the Ele&otal Ad=
ministration exerted all their powers and the Means
they possessed to prevent this evil. They flattered
themselves that they bad partly succeeded in their
object, when they had obtained conditions from
the King of PRVSSIA, relative to the French troops
left, behind in the Garrison of tiameln., notwith-
standing the inconveniencies with which these
conditions might be attended, especially as they
were, nevertheless, connected with assurances of the
safety of these Countries against any attack of the
Enemy.

All otir e#orts, however, to prevent the pos.
'Session of the EleCtorate by Prussian Troops have
been fruitless.
'" That Ministry, which, doh the retreat of the
t'Tench some months since, had been solicited on
the, part of Prussia to continue the exercise of its
filtretions, in the name of its lawful Sovereign, =l4
only view "the possession of the Eledorate by the
Prussians as a military measure. Accordingly a
Letter from the Prussian Minister, on the 27th of
January, ivas*go Much the more calculated to excite
surprise, it beitg then announced that his Prussian
Majesty, in consequence of a Convention with
trance, bad resolved upon retaining the Eleaorate,
and undertaking the administration of its Govern+
itent,till the conclusion of a Peace.
.10 This notice to the Hanaverian Administration
accompanied with the demand, 'that the persons
horninated as Commissioners by his Prussian Ma.
jcsty, should be acknowledged in every depart-
itlen't, 85 supreme, to the exclusion of foreign eon--
bexions.

The good 6-mM:tent promised by Prussiay amt.
the alltdged reasons for possession, as . being ne--
tesnry for the proteEtion of the Northern part of
Cerrnany, could not justify the Hanoverian
try, in their assent to a measure in dire& opposittli
to the rights of their Sovereign ; and Which his
Britannic Majesty, far from justifying, must con--
clemn% I halm, by virtue of the full powers I have
teceived, protested against this measure; and it is
atilt ekpeEte4 though the occupation by the Prus-
sians may be iitiavOidable, that such measures will
be used as may render this event as favourable as the
ease will admit, for this impoverished country; and
as little offensive as possible to the rights of our So:.
vereign:. . .

,
cc As' din constrained to leave itanoVer with
sentiments of the deepest regret, I exPe6t. and re-
quire, hi the King's name,, that all the servants of
the State will remain at the posts confided to them,
and still continue to exhibit to their King and their
Country the saite proofs of fidelity and loyalty by
Which they were distinguished while the Bit&orate
was in the hands of the French,
In fine, I must again mill& all the subjeas of
this Country, in his Majesty's natre, to desist from
every kind of resistance, as such condu& must ine-
vitably be hurtful to themselves, ana prejudicial to
the Coinitiy at large as the Russian Imperial
Army, the command of which is now entrusted to
his Prussian Majesty, must evacuate this Country;
the British Troops must attend to the orders they
have some time since received to embark ; and the
Swedish Array will be left to aft only under the fa-
vourable views of its August Leader, and according
to circumstances conne&ed with the measures mu;-
tually adopted by France and Prussia with rope& to
this Country:
