PRUSSIA AND HANOVER.

HANOVER, Oct. 8.

The following is the text of the proclamation by
which the Hanoverians are absolved from their
alliance to King George :
" llis Majesty King William of Prussia having
taken possession of the country and its government
by the Patent of the 3d of the present month, in exe-
ecution of the law of the 20th September, relative
to the union of the Kingdom of Hanover with the
Prussian monarchy, which law was published by the
collection of the Hanoverian laws, all the subjects
of the Kingdom of Hanover have received orders
to recognise henceforth the King of Prussia as
their King and Sovereign, and to yield obedience
to all his laws, ordinances, and commands.
" Considering with a paternal heart the painful
and grievous conscientious difficulty in which many
of his Majesty's most faithful subjects are conse-
quently placed, King George V. has deigned to re-
lease, under reservation of all his rights, all the
subjects of the kingdom, and particularly all who
are employed in the civil service of the King, and
those discharging ecclesiastical and educational
functions, from their obligations as subjects, or
their duties towards his Majesty
or his legitimate
successors, resulting from their services or functions
confirmed by oaths of homage or service, in the
present case of a conflict between those duties and
what is demanded by his Alajesty the King
of Prussia, and so far as the fulfilment of what is
required from them is in contradiction with those
duties, under the reservation, however, that the
latter again become obligatory from the moment
that King George V. or one of his legitimate suc-
cessors should reassume the exercise of government
in the kingdom. In bringing this to the knowledge
of the public, with the satisfaction of thus tran-
quillising many troubled consciences, we believe we
may also hope that the civil servants of the King
will not hesitate, in consequence, to continue exer-
cising their functions in the name of his Majesty the
King of Prussia. In difficult times like the present
all are bound in the highest degree to serve their
country with the talent which is vouchsafed to them,
even against their personal inclinations, and
position to the
to
_contribute according to their
