PEACE
Between Hanover and France.

British head quarters, at Delmenhorst, June 26.

In consequence of the peace between Hanover and the Convention, now at the eve of being proclaimed, the regency have signified, in a very ungracious manner, to his royal highness count d'Artois, that his presence could be dispensed with in every part of the Electorate. As soon as General David Dundas was informed of the insult, he instantaneously dispatched two staffettes, one with a letter to the prince inviting him to the centre of the British army; and another with a missive to count Walmoden, of which the following is the substance:

"Your excellency, no doubt, knows nothing of the insult meanly offered to loyalty, in the person of his royal highness count d'Artois, by the regency of Hanover, or you would, as I am going to do. send two squadrons to protect him from further insolence. It would ill become those who have the high honor of serving the British monarch regardless to look on, while an illustrious and unoffending prince is treated with disrespect. While there remains a general of my nation at the head of the troops on the continent, the count d'Artois cannot—shall not want for a protector."
