PRUSSIA AND KING GEORGE.

VIENNA, March 16.

The weekly newspaper edited by Herr Warrens,
started some time ago with the object of defending
the interests of the King of Hanover, publishes a
document to-day evidently emanating from authen-
tic Hanoverian quarters. This document attempts
to show that Prussia fails to execute the arrange-
ments entered into by the treaty relative to the
private fortune of King George, whilst the latter in
November last completely fulfilled that article of
the treaty stipulating that they should deliver up to
Prussia the Hanoverian Securities sent away to
London in 1866.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, March 16.

It is announced that the Chancellor of the North
German Confederation recently telegraphed to the
Minister of the Bund at Constantinople, desiring
him to examine into the persecutions of Jews, stated
to have occurred at Jerusalem, and, if requisite, to
take active steps for their redress. The North Ger-
man Consul immediately repaired to Jerusalem, and
procured the release of Rabbi Ayeh from confine-
ment, at the same time removing Dragoman Dahud,
the Prussian consular representative, from his post.

the following morning the steamtug Hercules, with
six lighters, proceeded to the assistance of the

The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 7th writes
" We are glad to find by letters from Tangier, dated
yesterday, that there is gool reason to hope that
the cholera, after visiting very lightly the African
side of the Straits, has really taken its departure.
It appears from an official report of the medical
officer of the Tangier Board of Health that there
has been no cholera in that town since the 13th of
February. From Tetuan also the accounts are
good, and the district of Anghera and the interior
of the country are said to be entirely free from the
disease.
