The governments OF the kingdom OF Hanover, Elec-
orate of Hesse Duchy .of Nassau, and free city OF
Frankfort placed themselves By their participation N
the hostile ottnde of the late Diet in state Of open
against Prussia They declined neutrality and alliance
with guarantee OF their territories several times offered
them by Prussia and again a the last hour they
active part in the Austria against Prussia
and they appealed for themselves and their countries to
the decision Of By the will of Providence that de-
Cision has been agsinst them.
Political necessity orces not again restore to them
their governmental poscer of chc they hdue been deprived

independence should be maintained, with attitude hos
tile at least equvoca Of their governments prepare
and obstacles which would much surpass the measure Of
their power and real importance.
II Is the wish acquire territories but the duty
OF protecting hereditary States against the recur
renee Of such dangers and Of giving larger and more
solid base to the national reorganization OF Germany,
which imposes the necessity OF uniting forever TO
monarchy the Kingdom OF Hanover, Electoral Hesse
the Duchy OF Nassau, and the Tree city oil Frankfort.
We ignorant that part only Of the populations
Of these States share with the conviction Of that ne
cessity We respect and we honor the sentiments Of
fidelity devotedncss which attach these peoples to
their dynasties and TO their ancient institutions But
have the confidence that active participation in the
progressive development of the national community

private interests will be treated will facilitate the tran

Count Won Bismarck upon Prussian Policy.
At . recent sitting Of the committee Of tho lower
house Of the Prussan Legislature upon the address to
the throne Count Bismarck gave the following ex
plantations TO the policy intended TO be pursued by
Prussia He said Little difference exists between the
authors of various drafts Of address, between the
and the chambers to the object TO which
the policy Of Germany ought to be directed The ques

mated by strong ambition TO render It advisable TO
moderate rather than stimulate It, According TO the
