| It is that Great Britain will fuf. fer the King of Pruifia to take poller- fion of Hamburg and Bremen, as well as of the administration of Hanover, on condition that he fhall cede a part of this laft territory to the Landgrave of Helle-Call. There can be no doubt but that England, for its own protection, requires fomething in re- turn from the King of Prufha, which the latter cannot perform without in. curring the hatred of a great Power. It is true that William the 11. may, without the fupport of England, make himfelf matter of the towns above. mentioned but his object being to extend trade by fea, it is his inter- ell to be on terms with Great Bri- tain, He, therefore, is placed be. sween Scylla and Charybdis. |
