The message lead ou Monday to the Prussia]
Chambers by M. de Bismark, President of the
Council of Ministers :

,~. ~;~.

The government of his Majesty the King must regret
that the deliberations oonoerning the budget of 1862 have
not led to the legal settlement of that budget. It thinks
that since the commencement of the Session it has shown its
desire to secede to all the proposals of the national repre-
sentation which it could regard as capable of reali.ation
without prejudice to the essential interests of the state.
With this object, the budget for the present year has been
presented, with a very extended specification of articles, at
the same time as the budget of 1863, which allowed also the
latter to be voted before the close of the year. In conse-
quence of the disappearanee of an itemise of taxation, the
charges of the state have been brought back to their former
condition, and this reduction of public receipts has been
compensated for by a considerable reduction of military ex-
penses. . .
' '

But the government of his Majesty the King could not
rally to the re solutions of the Chamber of Representatives,
according to which the greater part at the outlays already
made for the reorganisation of the army and for other in-
dispensable expertise, for the current year were to be sup-
pressed. It would render itself culpable of a serious for-
getfulness of its duties if, comformably to the resolution of
the Chamber, at the price of abandoning the considerable
sacrifices it has already made, and to the detriment of the
power of Prussia, it were to retract the reform of the con-
stitution of the army, accomplished io conformity with
former votes of the national representation.
The budget for the year 18G2 as decreed by the Chamber
of Representatives having been rejected by the Chamber
of Lords on the ground of insufficiency, the government of
his Majesty is under the necessity of wielding the Public
affairs outside the conditions prescribed by the consti-
tution. It ia perfectly aware of the responsibility it incurs
from this lamentable state of things, but it is also alive to
the duties which it owes to the country, and therein it
finds the authority to continue to meet the expenses which
are necessary for the maintenance of the public institu-
tion', and for the development of the prosperity of the
state, until such time as the budget can be legally decreed.
It entertains the hope that these expenses will be finally
sanctioned by the Diet.
The government of the King is convinced that our
constitutional system cannot prosper except on the condi-
tion that the branches of the legislative power should im-
pose upon themselves, each in the exercise of its powers, a
reserve commanded by the respect due to the rights of
others, and by the constitutional necessity of • free un-
derstanding between the crown and the two Chambers of
the Diet.

The government of his Majedy does not doubt that
our constitutional existence will develop, itself in this
path, thanks to the lessons of experience, and that the
present conflicts will find their solution in the sentiments
of a common self-denial in favour of the power sod of the
dignity of the crown, and of the welfare of the country.
In the name of the King I declare that the session of the
two Chambers of the Diet is closed.

At the concluaion of the reading of the message
the members separated quietly, as if nothing par-
ticular had taken place.
