NOTE FROM THE HANOVERIAN MINISTRY TO THE
LOYAL PRUSSIAN DIRECTORIAL COUNSELLOR VON
ROHM, RESPECTING THE WITHDRAWING OF THE
PRUSSIAN TROOPS PROM THI kLECTORATI OF
HANOVER. Hanover, Juni La
His Majefty the KING of Pavane having in the
beginning of April of the prefent year unexpect-
edly ordered that corps of his troops hitherto act-
ing with the army of obfervation, formed for the
general defence, to take poffeffion of the diaries
in Germany belonging to his Enures/etc MAJESTY
as gleitor of Brunfwick and Luneburg, the caufes
and motives, which induced his Majelly the King
of Fruffra to retort to this extraordinary and unex.
• peed meafure, were Rated to the German Mini.
ftry of his Britannic Majefty, in a written declara-
tion of the Both of March of the prefent year, on
the part of his Pruffian Mefly, by his Minifter of
• State, of War, and of the Cabinet, Count Sot ut.
easuao, tent to Hanover for that purpofe. There
caufes and motives were founded on the differences
that had arifen between his Britannic Majefty and
the Cmwns of Denmark and Sweden, on account
of the Peteribargh Convention of the ;6th of De-
cember, 'goo ; on the proceedings of England
again& Denmark and Sweden; on the engagements
of his Praffinn Majelly for his'allies, agreeably to
his acceffion to the Peterlburgh Convention, and
'particularly on the circumaance that England
would not retort to means for an amicable fettle.
unlit of thefe differences. Hence his Pruffian Ma-
' fifty deduced his refolution " not only to• (hut up
the mouths of the Elbe, Wefer, and Ems, but alfo
to take poffe Rion of the Statesof his Majefly the King
of the United Wands of. Great Britain and Ireland,
flowed in Germany, and belonging to him as
Elector of Brunfwick and Luneburg." His Pruf-
fian Majefty added, in his letter addreiTed to his
Britannic Majeßy's GermanMinilters at Hanover,
I that the faid declaration related to the differ-
ences that had arifen between England and the
Northern Powers, and was to be confidered surely
as a neceffary confequence of the difagreeable cir-
cumitances that bad taken place." By the eir-
cumllances and caufes, therefore, affigned. as the
reafon on the part of Pruffia, the agreement was
relative, which his Britannic Majefty 's German Mi-
sultry, together with the General commanding his
German troops, were obliged to enter into on the
3d of April of the prefent year, and whereby, un-
der the waning circnmftances, the entrance of the
Pruffian troops and their maintenanceby the King's
-German poffeffions were agreed to.—lt is now
well known, that the circumitances and caufes for-
merly exifting have been entirely changed and re-
. moved in the courfe of the month of April, and
Rill more in the courfe of the month of May, fo
• that circumfiances, at prefent, are rather the re.
• aerie. Hoftilities have ceafed between England
and the Northern Powers, and fo far from rejecting
means for an amicable feulement, intinediate
fricndly millions have even taken place on both
fides, and the Crowns of Denmark. and Sweden,
imitating the wife fentiments of his Majefty the
prefent EMPEROR of Russia, are at:Wally engaged
an amicably fettling the differences with the Bri.
tills government. The happy iffue of thefe pea.
ceable Negociations not being doubted by any of
the parties, the Britifh government began rendering
commerce free in the Baltic; Ruflia, Denmark,and
Sweden have reamed the commercial intercourfe
by public declarations; and the embargo formerly
laid on Englifh (hips in Ruffia is again taken off.—
His Majefty the King of PRUSSIA having, during
the courfe of thefe fucceffive changes, permitted
, all commercial and other intercourfe with his Bri-
tannic Majay'S fubjees, which has likewife re-
rnalued undillurbed by England, with refpe& to
the Pruffian States, it it evident, that his Pruffian
littljelly has no longer any caufe for allowing mea-
. fures to be taken, on his part, againll the Crown
of England. But his Majelly the King of Paussi•
has silo declared already, that the meafures whirls
had been fnrmerly taken, could now no longer be
deemed applicable and expedient, fo that, on the
part of Prptlia, the Riming up of the rivers is en-
tirely annulled, and the i\avigation of the Elbe and
Wcfer has been again declared free. His Majefty
the King of PRUSSIA, from the fame eonfideration
has lilewife demanded from the Crown of Den-
mark, and effected, the evacuation of Hamburgb
'and Lubeck, and withdrawn the troops that had
been Rationed in the Duchy of Oldenburg, for the
pnrpofe of occupying the left Banks of the Wefer.
It is impoffible, therefore, that the occupation of
his Britannic Majeßy's dominions, which had been'
connected with the &ruing up of the rivers, and
grounded on the fame caufes, can alone remain and
continue. On the contrary,it appearsevidently,from
the whole eourfe of the proceedings, that the caufes
no longer any where exiß which furnithed the
ground for the letter addreffed to the King's Mi.
nary here by the King of Pridfia, on the 3oth Of
March, the declaration made by his Majefty in
confequence thereof, and the agreement afterwards
entered into. It is impoiliße to confider this
intreeably to his Majefly's wifdom and jollier, hitt
as fomething which cannot be miftaken by him,
and which, in the events already Rated, his Area.,
di been admitted and acknowledged by his Maje
ty. The fentiments which his Majelly the Xing
of Pruffia entertains for his Britannic Majelly.
the fricndly relations fulififting between him sad
the Crovrnsof England, will, therefore, kayo po
doubts on this fubjee, without being under ells
neeeffity of recurring to the nature of the Onnfti-
union of the German Empire, and the Union di
Sts States with each other, whit refpee to this Isa.
fnes, which relates entirely to a foreign kingdom,
rind which has always been, and will ennlisftrain,
foreign to the dominions which his Majefty pelf-
ferret as Elettor, and as a Rate of the German Ern,
pine.—All this is grounded on the firm confidence
which his Britannic Majefty here willies to mani-
fefl, that his Malelly the King of Prat& will not
heihnie to withdraw his troops from his Majeßy's
German dominions; and that maintainance will
no longer he demanded for thefe troops, which has
been fo burthenfonte to the country, The King's

Miniaer hes, for this purpote, addreffed this note'
to the Pruisan DiredorialCounfellor, Von DOHS.,
entreating him, at the fame time, to forward it to
his Court, and to effed a fpeedy re.rolution in con-
fequence. (Signed)
