which he ofers te the troops of his Britan- 
nic Majefty, during their continuance in the 
North of Germany. 
«< With regard to the provifioning of the 
fortrefs of Hameln, it is conceived, that the 
grant of ac 
garrifon themfelves inight procure provifions, 
would be attended with great inconveniencies, 
both in refpect to, the fubjeQs of his Britan- 
nic Majéfty, and on account of the cullufions 
which might thence enfue between the 
troops. It, therefore, appears preierable, to 
furnith neceffaries from the “Hanoverian terri- 
tory, through an intermediate perfon, to_ 
whom General Barbou muft fend.a ftatement 
ef what he wants for daily confumption, and 
on whofe requifition the Hanoverian ntiey 
will take care that it be delivered at the 
places. appointed for that purpofe. But Ge- 
neral Barbou muft, on his fide, engage tore- 
main quiet within the town of Hameln. 
¢€ Conformably to thefe ideas, the King has 
_fent M. Von Krusemarx, Penne Co- 
lonel of the Garde du cerps, and adjuta t to 
Field Marihal Vor Moliendorf, to Hanover. 
I have given him, for my part, a letter to the 
finifter of his Britannic Majefty at. Han- 
over, and another for General Barbou, that 
the necefiary arrangements for providing in- 
ftantaneoufly for the fubfifence of the garri-’ 
fon of Hameln may be made, and putin ex- 
ecution without delay. 
‘¢T have now nothing let, my Lord, but 
to refer to the verbal communication I had the 
honour to make to you, and to entreat you to 
take in general fuch fteps as you fhall ‘think 
expedient for carrying into execution the 
whole arrangement which I have had the ho- 
nour to fubmit toyou. I requeft you to have 
the goodnefs to inform the Commander in 
Chief of the troops of his Britannic Majefty, 
that itis only in cafe he fhall think proper to 
accede to this arrangement, and to z adopt fuch 
meatures @s depend upon him’ for carrying it 
into execution, his Pruflian Majefty can _pol- 
ae engage to guarantee the fecurity of the 
troops of his Britannic Majefty. In cafe of 
an attack on the part of the French, it will, 
however, be neceflary that the conduét of ai 
whole thould centre in one point, oe it ap- 
pears natural that the? oldeii in rank thould 
then affume the chick command. It would 
& confequently devoive. upon General Count 
peta euth, both for the above reafon, and
