On the 22d inst., the Prussian Minister ofTered an allianee on t!te basis of the Prussian proposition for a new confederntion, on the condition thnt the Elector shouid have a ministry whieh should pu:irantee the constitution of IS3I. Had this been nccepted, the possession of his throne and his sovereign rights would heve heen guaranteed to him. The Elector, howevcr, dcclined the conditions. Without furtfier hesita*ion it w«s therefore necessary tliat measures shonld be ndopted to connect t!ie two portions of the Prussian Kingdom. The Present mihtary position of the Prussian Kingdoin is a suro guarantee ogainst the return to the former state of things. The Kiector of Hesse has heen sent to the north.
