event of a peace being concluded with the crown of
I tenimark, the rights of the duchies ut S lilt swig and
Viols eon and the honour of Germany shall he
duly taken care of. The assembly, more-
IMO', in the belief that the evacuati rat of

to have 'been • mere strateeetical movement, ex-
press -s its confident expectation that the &demi
army will be reinioreed without lees of time, and the
inheletants of North Schleswig protected from any
hostile aggression to which the' may have been ex-
pueed by the above•mentioned retreat" M. Rade-

perfectly sincere, and regarded that act of Wendt, as lore to
toy people as the trinq sett-factory of my life. The promperity
of my people is my prosperity ale e, and. guided be tide um-

lotion promulgated on the 25th of April. In it I have
avoided the mistake of going in advance of the ea genies of

occurred in Vienna on the WI of May. I felt, therefore,
