States of the Kingdom took place yesterday, with the solemnity worthy of the occasion. The Deputies having taken their places in the Hall, and also the Members of the several Royal Colleges' &c. having taken the - seats appointed for thcm,•his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived amid the ringing of bells and firing of cannon, repaired to the Assembly, attended by the Mini rnisters, and followed by the whole Court, escort ed by a detachment of cavalry. First were read the full powers granted by the Prince Regent, by virtue of which the Dike of Cambridge had to open the first Meeting of the States. On this his Royal'Highness made the following Speech t€ the Assethbly _ " Gentlemen, Venerable, Noble, Firm, Honourable, Faithful, Dearly Beloved, " I can with justice address yob by these titles, worthy Representatives of the mnst ,faithful of People, wi.ose undiminished attachment to the ancient family ot• its Sovereign has been approved. i❑ times of hard necessity and amid clouded pros.: pats. •As the hereditary Rua. - ever active love of my family tc its ancient subjects has not for a mo ment been change , ! durig the years , that a cruel fate nas sepal at ed - them frond This attachment to their legal Vovereign has in duced a large number of, Hanoverian warriors to assemble round the English banners. These va liant men have combated . in distant countries through many bloody campaigns; for the delivery of wofhl, and had acquire" under the - greatest of Commanders immortal glory—even before the chains .ivhi:ll pup riot force Lad imposed on the country were broken by the efforts of the ; the people of ihe country followed ;:le first call that was mane to them, and hive imulated that . . army by their constancy in the dangers, of a san guinary campaign, and by their vaiour in every action at which they were present. ,An active army of 30,000 men, formed in a few months, has partly contributed to detend the North of Ger many against an enemy equally formidable by his 'strength and 'his desperation, anti has partly re- . paired to another destination to fight for the cause of the country. Peace has relieved us from, further silediing of blood, and prevented - further desolation. " Dear and faithful friends, with whom - the Regent in whose name I address you is again ucited by the decrees of Providence, the time for certain exertion is now come. You are called upon to heal, by wise councils and public spirit, the wounds that war has inflicted. " The race of Guelphs has been always distin guished for justice and mildness, Among my ancestors I count many fathers of their country — none who abused the strength of his subjects to further ambitious views and subdue others. " They have recognized the limits which the Lord of Ueaven and earth, who commands also Sovereigns, has assigned even to the most powerful. They have always regarded as sacred the relations -between the Sovereign and the States. The greater rights which the Treaty of Westphalia gave to . the German Sovereigns, were used by the good Duke George and his Sons to repair the effects of the storms Avhich had desolated ail Eu- rope for a longer time even than those which we have seen. Since the greatness of my house was founded by the vigorous administration of the wise Ernest Augustus, the Electoral dignity ac-. quire(' by him, and lastly, since one of the most glorious Crowns in the world, adorns the head of my Father,. the increase , of power serves but to Maintain inviolate the rights of the - subjects. In this .manner George the Ist, George the 2d, George the- 'have acted. `f. The Prince Regent, who ,has been induced by the dissolution of the ancient German Consti tution to assume, like other States that are be- Come independent, Ilie Royal, title of the House of Hanover, gives to the German Sovereigns who join in a Confederation in order ,to establiili in common, security both at home and abroad, the . . first example of calling an Assembly in which the voice of the people mAy declare itself with free dom; but with orders to point out to the Prince the means of promoting his object, which is the _ • good of the country. It is now the business of the States of the Hanoverian Dominions, .now raised to an Independent. Kingdom, to , employ -those intended rights that are given them, so that the State may be powerful and happy. , " The first step to this made by the union of the States of all the different parts of the country in one Assembly, to which are given all the rightS .4 . pos'essed by the form , / of granting money, and other parts of legislate. The several provinces have but one common interest. This cannot be discussed but by deliberation in common, 'or pro moted but' by one common resolution. If the administration of the single province's was former ly suited to -their wants, imperious circum stances now require more vigorous, speedy measures. The necessary agreement of the, single bodies, could not be legally affected, .4nore except by the union ordered by the Prince: The necessities of the times are great. A strict ex amination of the obligations entered into for the country will spew what justice requires towards those .who, with confidence in.gOod faith, lent their property to the public, to supply the public wants. These demands 'are, however, to be united with the care for the welfare of the present and future generations. T ile Prince Regent , con siders this good faith which the Sovereigns and States of this country have never yet violated, as so sacred that he has declared his disposition to contribute, even ri m the revenue of the domains, that these claims may be fulfilled. The nature of this contribution may be fixed when we have be fore us the whole of our wants and our resources-. _The indepemience of a State depends on its means of defence—Warned by the sad experience which is sill fresh in our memory, every friend of his country. must feet the necessity of providing aguiirst f6ture dangers by vigorous prepara tions. The British Nation, to whose persever ing eeriimis - Hanover like so many other coun tries swallowed urr; or threatened by the pre ponderance of wild passions, is indebted for a new,ly confirmed independence and - securrty , has by generous support replaced. the necessar : warlike stores carried Off by the enemy, and thus enabled the men who could bring nothing but their good-will, - to join the list of combatants. When the external. relations of the kingdom shall be fixed, the strength of the army will be commu nicated to you, which the Regent thinks necessary, as well as its organization and its wants. You will consider of the weans to procure what is necessary. The Prince Regent wishes the country to be spared as much as possible. The burthea which cannot he diminished may be eased by being divided, and the conscientiousness that in the repartition justice towards - all will be observed, will make in evitable sacrifices less difficult. You will consider also of the changes in the administration of justice which the present-times make ❑ecestary oradvisable,and will deliberate on useful Institutions for the good of the Country. " What the Regent intends besides will he communicated to pull his Counsellors. " lie will lend a ready .ear to well-founded.re presentations on other subjects. " The list of frill powers which have been pre sented and approved; and the necessary regulations for theorder of the States of the kingdom, now for the first time assembled, will be here communi cated to you. According to these, you will begin by choosing one among you %rho will preside in your meetings and be your organ. " I expect to be . nuade acquainted to-day with your choice of a Preside•nt.- " BM - first let us; with united devotion, implore the blessing of the Most High on the sacred work of the first assembling of the States of the King dom of Hanover." At the end of this Speech, his Royal Iligthaess caused to be presented the list of Deputies, with the regulations for the deliberations, and the names of those Officers anuounCed on account of their official capacity--:(the Abbot of Locitun, the Abbot of St. Michael, and the President of the Knight of the Duchy of Bremen)—thereupon his Royal Highness repaired in procession with the whole Assembly .to the Church of the Palace, where the hymn, Nun danket alle Gott, "Now thank all, God," was sung, being particularly chosen, because' the venerable Father of the Royal House and of the Country,. his Majesty George 111. with his strong sense of piety, set particular yalueupon Divine Service being ended, the Dultirepaired JP ? • beii • • to his palace * , and the Deputies t° - t- Coo ..,, here they chose f o r their Preside° os o3' Sehulenhourgh Wolfsburg, which el l°ice dco t : 3 nounced to his Highness, who inV irit- i l're''' meet on the 16th, in the hall, wh eret. ;i Vg :( dent addressed his Royal Highness si .
