The official paper ef the Firft Conful 
of the 4th of March, contains a letier 
from Berlin of the 13th of February, coms 
municating the fubftance of a conferetice 
between the Hanoverian Envoy and the. 
Prufian ‘Minifter... The object of the 
former was to found the intentions of the 
Pruffian Government with refpect to Han 
/over. He urged the circumfpect manner 
in which the Hanoverian Government had 
acted, and drew a diftinétion betweeg 
Great Britain and Hanover. The Pruffian 
Minifter’s xeply was brief, but full.of 
meaning : the conduét of Great Britain by 
fea was alluded to, and the minifter urged; 
that that condu&t gave the Continental 
Powers a right to aét in a fimilar manner 
by land. 7 
There is alfo fome language of a firong 
nature attribuied to his Pruffian Majefty, 
who is reprefented to have openly afferted,

fure of its injuftice, and that the moment 
had at length arrived for retribution and 
punifhment.’? Unlefs the official paper of 
the Firft Conful were authorifed to make 
ufe of fuch terms, and that it were fup- 
ported by fa&ts, we cannot conceive that 
it would have dared to hazard a perfonal 
allufion of this nature to the King of 
Pruffia.
