The following; is the declaration made in the
the
of the Diet on the 19th by M. d'Usedom,

:Ile proposition of the Hanoverian Government
vas presented, the Prussian Plenipotentiary pro-
tested, in the name of his Government, and he can
°III3T now renew that protest. Nevertheless, his
r,
'cvernment cannot have any objection to the
11°Position of Hanover being submitted to the
ealtination of the military commission. Prussia,
the having at different times given to her Ger-
,iv.(lll co-federates the positive assurance that she
tet") in case of need, interfere with all her
oee, and even beyond the limit of her duties,
Protect and defend the independence of Ger-
-1,17Y, hopes that the other German Federal Powers
leave to her the initiative of the military

th-astires to be adopted. It is only by so doing
ikat•the unity, which is indispensable to ensure

Would anticipate events and exceed the
colts of the right of the Confederation cannot
ree
illeeve the approbation of the Prussian Govern-
sath-L, Which will oppose it with regret, but at the
same
thne with the greatest firmness."
