Copy of a note from MIR. Secretary Fox.
to baron Jacob Kloest, dated March II,
1906.
The undersigned is commanded. by his
majesty TO state to baron Jacob Kloest,
Tor the information of his co0rt, the great
anxiety felt by his majesty at the manner
I'm which possession has been taken of the
electorate of Hanover If his. Prussian
majesty Judged i, expedient, in order TO
prevent French troops from approaching
SO near that part of his frontier, to take &c
himself ihe military occupation of the e.
decorate; IT does not appear 10 his ma
]esty that 1t was by any means nece ssary
that the civil government efxf,at unhappy
country should be subverled. or that an ar.
my more numerous, and CONSTITUENTS
more injurious to the inhabitants, than ne.
cessily required, should be maintained
there. His majesty relies wi,liihe great.
est confidence OH his Pnissian majesty's
declaration, that the present. occupation
ismereiy temporary bn, his majesty can
not Dot express wish, that the dsclara
ton on this point were more soIemnly
made in the face of Europe. The honor
OF ihe court of Berlin, as we'll as the con
sideration mutually due 10 each other
from two princes so nearly connected in
blood and alliance. seem TO call for a
clear explanation on this Important sub
jet.
His majesty ON his part desires 10 be
equally explicit and to put an eng! 10 all
hopes lIf such indeed have been entertain
ed oy The court of Bcrin) that any conve-
nierce OF political arrangement, much
less any offer of equivalent or indemnity.
VIII ever induce his majesty so far to for
gel What IS due 10 his own Legitimate
rights, as we'll as To the exemplary fdeli
~ and attachment OF his Hanoyerian sub
jscts, as 10 consent to the alienation of the
electorate.
His majesty learns with concern, thai
1t is IN agitation to give up Anspach, and
other parts OF his Prussian majesty's do.
minlons To Bavaria, in consequence of a
convention with France, but he does not
pretend any right 10 interfere, or TO give
any opinion with respect to the propriety
Oh me measures. whatever they may be,
which his Prussian majesty may deem e.
iIglbl:, for the interest of his crown and
people; at the same time t is 10 b. OBJ
served, that his majesty, whether in. his
capacity Of king of G. Britain, or in tina,
OF elector OF Hanover, was in no wise par
" 10 the convention alluded to, or respon
siole tor Its consequences. The cessions
therefore which his Prussan majesty may
make to his majesty's enemies can surely
never be alledged as justification for taxi
ing to himself his majesty's lawful inheri-
taDce.
His majesty therefore hopes that his
RUSSIAN majesty will follow the honorable
dictates OF his own heart, and will demon
strsle to the world, that whatever sacrig-
ces the present circumstances may induce
him 10 make, with respect 10 his own ter.
rllories, he will not set the dreadful exam
pie OF indemniiying himself at the ex-
pense oil a third party, whose sentiments
and conduct towards his Prussan majesty
and his subjects have been uniformly
friendly and pacific.

SIR,
hasten to fulfil the promise given to
lord narrowly Oh the 9th of this moalh,
10 communicate to you, sir, as soon as
flnaI decision should be taken on the SUBJ
Ject, the additional circumstances relating
TO the security of the north of Germany,
and 10 the guarantee by the king of the
safety of the British troops which are in
that part of the continent.
A messenger from Munich ha. just
brought his majesty intelligence of the
eonsummaton of the arrangements which
the present conjuncture of affairs has in
duced him to enter into with France, in
order to save those countries, and especi.
ally the atates of Hanover, from the mis-
fortunes OF another runous war, and TO in
sure :heir tranquility. As these arrange
ments stipulate particularly the commit
ing OF that country to tie exclusive guard
OF the prussiaD troops and to the admi.
nislra,ion IF the king until tie conclusio,,
eta feace 6efsrecn England and france his
majesty could not delay taking the neces.
sary measures for entry therein of corps
OF his army, which will be under the or.
dsrs OF his excellenCy the general of cavsl-
~ count Schulenberg Kehnert, 10 whom
! also the king has conlided the administra-
tioa ofthe country. His majesty, animat-
ed by the most lively desire to see the i'm
portance and the urgency Of the motives
which have induced him 10 take these
steps, justly appreciated by bis Britannia
majesty, and his enlightened ministers,
has direclcd baron Jacob To- give detail
ed explaaa,ion thereof Ut London.
Ii would be superfl1ous to point out to
your attention, how urgent and indspen.
s!ble, in the present state of affairs, the re-
embarkaion Of the English troops in the
north OF Germany is become, since the re-
treat OF The foreign troops is the condition
upon which France has INomised not to
order her troops 10 re-enter Hanover; and
since also II was upon this supposition a..
lone that the king guaranteed their secu.
'iiy. | presume that lord Cathcart has
already received, and is upon the point of
executing The orders of the court for the
return Of those troops for whic n trans ports
have been waiting for some tine past. T
have however to request, sir, that you
would for the purpose Of still farther dis.
patch, write to the commander in chief on
the subject, and acquaintipg him with the
present circumstances, that you would i'm
duce him 10 hasten, as far as depends on
him, a measure which, in these circum-
stances, and the approaching arrival oil
our troops, will not admit of any delay.
