BERLIN, June 23.-The official StaafSanzeioer of
to-day says AFTER the entry OF the Prussiaus into
Electoral Hesse, the King of Prussia again made a
fresh endeaVor to come to an understanding with
the Elector. On the 22d inst the Prussan Minister
offered an alliance on the basis OF the Prussian pro.
position for the formation of a new Confederation
on condition that the Elect0r should have a Nun.
Constitution o. 1881 Had this been accepted, the
possession of his throne and his sovereign rights
would have been guaranteed to HIM.
"Tbe Eector, however, declined the conditions
without further hesitation.
ait WAS therefore, necessary that measures thould
be adopted to connect the two portions OF the Prus.
sian kingdom.
"The present military position OF Prussia is a sure
guarantee against u return to the former state of
things"
