HANOVER.

Intelligence has just been received from Hanover, which fuUy corroborates anticipations as regards the steps which the King would adopt in case the chambers should continue to resist his will. The minister appeared in both houses on the oth instant, and declared them to be adjourned sine die. The presidents of both houses took this opportunity of expressing regret that the chambers could not come to an accord upon the constitution question : or, in more plain terms, that the chambers could not agree to the Government propositions for their modification. The houses will be reconvoked some day or other, when, if they do not show themselves more pliant, they will be dissolved, and meantime the Government will be carried on by ordiuances. The people will submit, and there will be no breach of the peace ; they are

aware that the diet is prepared to support the King at the first signal. His Hanoverian Majesty has not long kept his loving subjects in suspense as to the measures he had predetermined to aJopt in case the chambers should continue to exhibit resistance to his will, in regard to the public estimate?, or, as it is technically termed in Hanoverian official language, the " chapter of finance." He has just issued a proclamation, whereby he sets aside all interference of the people's representatives with the distribution of the budget, the first issue of the representa- j tion system, as laid down in the constitution of 1848-9, and further fixes his own civil list at 000,000 rix dollars, to be paid in the manner projected, or rather dictated, by the crown. The chambers may, perhaps, be re- convoked, and asked if they think fit to assent. Should the reply be negative, they will be dissolved, and his Majesty will then take time to consider when and in what manner they shall be re-elected. Meantime, he will govern upon the principle of absolute power, and thus restore his sovereignty to the same footing of autocracy as was the boast and privilege of the first Anglo-Hanoverian king.
