LONDON,
Nov. 7.
The accession of the Elector of Hanover to the German confederacy is perhaps as unfortunate an event,
in the system of continental politics, as ever happened
for the interest of Great-Britain; that measure having
totally alienated the Court of Petersburgh from
that of London, and induced the Empress of Russia to
conclude a commercial treaty with France, which the
Court of Versailles had long in vain solicited.
We hear that the great Frederick has given his Electoral
Highness the most positive assurances of support against
his enemies, in case his accession to the German con-
federacy should draw upon him the resentment of other
European powers.
