Jook with anxious expectation to 
that moment, when a more dignified 
and enlightened policy, on the part 
of Prussia, shall remove every im- 
pediment to the renewal of peace 
and friendship with a power, with 
whom his majesty has no other cause 
of difference than that now created 
by these hostile aéts. 
Papers relative to Prussia, presented 
by his Majesty’s Command, to both 
fTouses of Parliament, April 21,

(Translation of Inclosure in No I.) 
Sir,—I hasten to fulfil the pro- 
mise given to lord Harrowby, on the 
8th of this month, to communicate 
to you, sir, as soon as a final deci- 
sion should be taken on the subject, 
the additional circumstances re- 
Jating to the security of the north of 
Germany, and to the guarantee by 
the king of the safety of those Bri- 
tish troops which are in that part of 
the continent. 
A’ messenger from Munich has 
just brought his majesty intelli- 
gence of the consummation of the 
arrangements, which the present 
conjuncture of affairs hasinduced him 
to enter into with France, in order 
to save those countries, and espe- 
cially the states of Hanover, from 
the misfortunes of another ruinous 
war, and to insure their tranquillity, 
As these arrangements stipulate par- 
ticularly the committing of that 
country to the exclusive guard of 
the Prussian troops, and to the ad- 
ministration of the king, wztil the 
conclusion of a peace betw eon Eng land 
and France; his majesty could not

delay taking the necessary meaey 
corps of his army, which will be 
under the~orders of his excellency 
the general of cavalry, count Schu.~ 
lenberg Kehnert, to whom also the 
king has confided the administra- 
tion of the country. His majesty, 
animated by the mpst lively desire 
to see the importance and the ur- 
gency of the motives which have in- 
duced him to take these steps, justly 
appreciated by his Britannic ma. 
jesty and his enlightened ministers, | 
has directed baron Jacobi to give a- 
detailed explanation thereof at Lon. 
don. : 
It would be superfluous to point 
out to your attention, how urgent 
and indispensible, in the present 
state of affairs, the re-embarkation 
of the English troops in the north of 
Germany is become; since the re- 
treat of the foreign troops is the - 
condition upon which France has 
promised not to order her troops to 
re-enter Hanover, and since also it 
was upon this supposition alone_ 
that the king guaranteed their secu- 
rity. I presume that lord Cathcart 
has already received, and is upon 
the point of executing, the orders of 
his court for the return of those 
troops, for which transports have 
been waiting for some time past, I 
have, however, to request, sir, that 
you would, for the purpose of still 
further dispatch, write to that com- 
mander-in-chief on the subject 5 
and, acquainting him with the pre. 
sent circumstances, that you would 
induce him to hasten, so far as dee 
pends on him, a measure, in which 
these circumstances, and the ap- 
proaching arrival of our troops, will 
not admit ef any delay. : 
I request you to accept the reite.
