. England has riot the leaft part in the tranf-:
actions which re preparing' in the North of
Germany. The Hancveriaii troops, who
lorrn part ot the corps of; obtervation pofted
on the banks of the.Vefer, are under the or
ders ot the rruilia commander in chief.
This matter has been fettled by the king of
Pruflia and the regency of Hanover. One
cf the objects of the Congrcfs, which willfobn
be opcnal at rlilderflieim, is to fecure peace
to the Nlirth of Germany, agreeably to the
plan agreed upon- by . tlic French- R epublic
aivltl.6 court of Berlin, by virtue of which
Pruffia and all the provinces, whofe neutrality
fliali bt acknowledged 'tinder its tneditation.
will be fecurrd agalnft the dangers of war.
The corps of combined troops now affem
bl'mgis defiined to enferre triepl tn lately con
certed with the French government. It
w as therefore extremely ridiculous to fuppofc
many might pcrh.'ps be directed againft- the
French Republic l;o is a party in the w hole
plan and urged energetical mcafurcs for the
maintenance of the neutrality in the North
of the empire.
