It Is believed that the restitution of the ( Juelph fund ts duo to a bargain with the Catliollo deputies of the center , of whom the government has need. The following Is the origin of what Is called the Guolph fund : After the annexation of Hanover by Prussia by the convention of SoptomborUO , 1807 , be tween King Qoorgo of Hanover , father of the duke of Cumberland , and the Prussian government. King Ocorgo was to rocolvo $00,000,000. The convention was ratlllod February 1 , 1SOS , by the Prussian Landtair , Bismarck having Intervened In the discussion to carry the vote , but before the end of tbo same mouth the I'tusslan government changed Its ftontand Intornollatcd. On the creation of the Hanoverian legion In Franco the declara tion Of the minister of Hal nco caused King George to announces that ho dia not accept the settlement. Tbo government fought with the Income of his own property , A bargain was proposed to tbo king Instead of the restitution of his fortune. The renunciation of nis rights of succession was demanded in oxchnneu for the money that belonged to him. Ho refused , and on March. . 'J King William of Prussia signed tbo decree of con fiscation of the fortune of the king of Hanovor. And ItVa Illngnl. But a decree , contrary to a vote of tbo Landtag , ought to have boon afterward rati fied by a vote of tbo assembly a formality that was never ouservcd , The ( Juelph found was. therefore , hold by the Prussian government not only unjustly but illegally since 1803. The use to which this fund has boon put Is well known. The revenue tnorofrom has boon directed , not solely agamst the Hanoverian dynasty , but as since I8T1 the chancellor's ofllco has had 5,000,000 annual revenue that the confiscation put nt Its disposal , the Prussian cabinet bus gonn crazv about private secrets.

The grand duke of liosso died this evening , aged 54 years. Ho foueht against Prussia in 1800 and the independence of the grand duchy was saved only by the intervention of Russia , by which an annexation aimllar to that of Hanover and Nassau was prevented. The grand duke married. In 18W ( , a daughter of Queen Victoria , who died In 1878. His heir , Prince Ernest , is 23 years old.
