The Prussian Government have, it appears, sound reasons for believing
that the King of Hanover is still at war with them. Ten officers, Hanoverians, were tried in Berlin on the 9th inst. on a charge of treason, and condemned, par contunzace, to ten years' imprisonment in the House of Correction. It appeared from the evidence, chiefly intercepted letters, that they had all been engaged in inducing soldiers on furlough to enlist in the Legion intended to fight against Prussia, and were directed by the King's own Aide-de-Camps. No Continental Government, and, indeed, no Government whatever will bear tampering with its soldiery, and even the King of Prussia, who half doubts if he had a right to overthrow a family so " legitimate " as the Guelphs, is exasperated, and has, it is said, consented to stop the ex-King's annuity.
