with Prussia, for if:a settlement of the German ques-
tion, are unfounded. At a Cabinet Council held
yesterday, at Charlotenburgh, it was decided on the
proposition of M. DE SCHLaINITZ, to recal the Prus-

day, and Prussia will only leave a Charge d'Affaires

break off diplomatic relations with the Hanoverian
Government."
