HANOVER.

The King and his ministers refused to admit the four professors of the University of Gottingen, who had gone to Hanover to complain of the conduct of the authorities, who some days ago sent the gendarms against a gathering of students, several of whom were dangerously wounded. Accordingly, the professors have resolved to resign their functions, and probably all the students will leave the University. The King and his minister, M. Yon Falcke, refused also to receive a deputation from the city of Hanover, which proposed to present an address to his Majesty. The official Gazette of Hanover publishes a proclamation, in which the King declares that he u convinced that the manifestations which have taken place on the part of his subjects are not the expression of their own sentiments, but the result of foreign influence. At the same time he adds, that a portion of their demands shall be taken into consideration, and that he will endeavour to satisfy them, without departing from the constitution.

CONCESSIONS OF THE KING. Hanover, March 18. — A deputation from various states waited on the King yesterday, to enforce the claims of the people to various reforms. His Majesty, after hearing various of its members, asked time for consideration ; but the delay was objected to as altogether needless, and in half an hour the King's reply was made known to them. This important document grants — 1. Freedom of the Press. 2. The conversation and public declaration of the states. 3. An amnesty for all political offences. Nor were the rest of their demands rejected; although the royal reply in that respect is less specific, and therefore less satisfactory.
