CRIMINAL prosecutions have been in
stituted in Germany against no less
than eighteen Hanoyerian gentlemen,
on the ground of their having collected
money toward wedding present to be
given to the duke of Cumberland.
In the house of one of these gentle
men a considerable sum of money was
found, which was seized by the officials.
The Cologne Gazette says that there can
be no longer any idea of the duke sue
ceeding to the Brunswick crown. The
only question is whether the difficulty
of succession shall be settled in Bruins
wick, as it was in Eastern Erisia in the
time of Frederick the Great "by a
Prussian battalion" or if Brunswick is
to be made duchy subject directly to
the emperor.
