regret to INFORM you that Mr.. Hanneran, the
newly appointed minister from the United States
to Berlin, having returned from London about a
week ago, had a severe attack OF Illness, which
reduced him very much. At one time, it was
feared he would SINK under the attack, but am
happy in being able to say that he is a fair
way Of recovery believe he intends writing to
you by this mail, We have received letter from
Mr. Hannegan, and we are happy to say that he Is
fully restored TO health Ed. Hcrad ] and will
return TO the United States very shortly.
The triumph Of Russian diplomacy in Germany,
indeed seems to be complete. The plan of
federal union being frustrated, and liberty crushed
in all the States, the object Of Russian policy was
to create dissensions between all the different
German powers, and, IL possible, to bring about a
total rnpturc between the principal German courts
Thus quaTes have been engendered between Aus
,ris, Prussia, Bavaria, and the northern and south
em States. Saxony, Hanover, aud WuTtemberg,
have been set against Prussia; and the sntsnfe
easis9s between all the German cabinets seems to
be forever gone. The old regime and sbsolutism
have been re-es,ablished in Germany, with the as
sis,snce of Russia, and a new government has
been created for the former Gemanic confedera-
ton But the friendly relations between the difie
rent States, between the different races Of the
German nation, are no longer the same. Civil
war and the antiques Of the cabinets have wrought
a mighty change. While quarrels are openly car
ried on between the governments, the feelings OF
IL n L.
more es,ranged towards each other in consequence
of the complete failure Of the revolution. which
was to establish the unity Of Gcrmsny. II Is now
stated that separate league between Bavaria,
Wurtemberg and Hanover Is about to be formed
which i, was also likely saxony would acced
20, for the purpose Of maintaining a neutra
position towards Austria and Prussia. 1t
asserted that a secret treaty to that effcc
has already been signed by the three fret named
powers. We have good authority for stating
that this plan, originally proposed BY Bavaria,
has been the subject OF negotiations between
the cabinets, though it impossible to say, at the
prese nj moment, whether 1t has already been car
Iisd into execution IL 10 certain that Russia
would support this project ny her representatives.
