Separation Of England and HinOrer.--
Among the important political chlngcs aris-
ing from the decease Of our late beloved
Monarch, the disseveration Of the continent
tai domlnionsof the British Crown from the
rule of the present Sovereign, is not tho
least remarkable. In consequence of the
SGtique law prevailing in the Kingdom of
Hanover, the Empire of Victoria l. does not
extend to that country, and the rights aud
duties of lis monarchy have already devoIv-
ed on the Dixie of Cumberland. That in
timate cOnnexion which has prevailed be-
tween Great Britain and IIInover since the
accession of George L., h1s now for the first
time, ceased, and all the probabilities are
against the return of both nations under
the same head Ii is only in case Of the
Green's dying without issue, that the union
would agnin take place. Ernest |. Of Han
over. would then become King of Great
Britain, though the authority Of the young
Quecl could not, in any case, extend again
to Hanover, the son oil the King being the
legal heir to that throne. The Duke of
Cumberland, now Ernest of Hanover, is the
first King of that country independent of
foreign power; and il is not little remark
able that, while, as a subject of this realm,
he took the oath Of allegiance to the Queen
to-day,h he may, in the interest of his new
subjects, be in Il condition to declare war
ngaInt Great Britain at some future period.
In taking that oath, he has followed the ex-
ample of George IT, who, when his father
was EectOr of Hanover, and he heir, as
second in succession to the Throne of Eng
land, came to this country to be created
Dlke of Cambridge, and to swear allegi-
ance as British subject, to Queen Anne.
CANADA.--The Catholic clergy of Can.
ada seem disposed to come out for the mo
Their government. AT recent meeting of
noarly all of this body (l40) at the house of
the Bishop of Nj ntreal, for the consecra-
ton of the Bishop of tennessee, the Bishop
of Montreal earnestly implored them TO
preach obedience to the laws, and especial.
y against revolt and smuggling, &c. Then
the healths of Pope Gregory William w.
were drunk with enthusiasm.
