BERLIN, June 23-The official Stats .an-eigen Of
to- day says after the entry of the Prussians into the
Electorate of Hesse Cassel, the King Of Prussia again
made a fresh endeavor TO come to an understanding
with the Elector. On the 22d inst, the Prussian
Minister offered an alliance on the basis Of the Prus-
sian proposition for n new confederation, on the con-
dition that the Elector should have a ministry which
should guarantee the Constitution Of 1881. Had
this been accepted, the possession Of his throne and
his sovereign rights would have been guaranteed to
him. The Elector, however, declined the conditions.
Without further hesitation it was therefore necessary
that measures should be adopted TO connect the two
portions of the Prussian Kingdom. The present

guarantee against the return TO the former state OF
things. The EIector of Hessee has been sent to the

of Sterling and Konigsberg at his disposal.
