OPENING OF THE SAXON CHAMBERS.
SPEECH OF THE KING.
DRESDEN, Nov. 15.
_ ..

The Saxon Chambers were opened today by the
King. His Majesty, in the speech from the
throne, declared his firm resolution to remain faith-
ful to the North German Confederation under the
leadership of Prussia, and to all the obligations
which he has entered into. He expressed his in-
tention of entering honourably into the spirit of the
common task, and of the duties imposed by the new
! relations, and also of shunning no sacrifice neces-
sary for the better formation of Germany.
His Majeety further promised that a bill should
be introduced for a reorganisation of the army in
a manner corresponding with the tried military
institutions of Prussia. The treaty of peace, the
electoral law for the North German Parliament,
and a bill for introducing trial by jury into Saxony,
would also be introduced.
His Majesty also announced that a constitutional
amendment with regard to the Saxon law on
elections would: be brought forward as soon as the
Northern Confederation is constituted.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Nov. 15, Evameni.
The semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening, commenting upon a communication re-
cently published by the Spenersche Zeitung relative
to the Hungarian Legion formerly in the service
of Prussia, says " The amnesty guaranteed to
these troops by the Austrian government has been
fully carried out, and no complaint of its infringe-
ment has been officially received here. It ix self-
evident that the amnesty does not release the mem-
bers of the Legion from serving their time in the
Austrian army ; but, on the other hand, the Aus-
trian government has treated them with considera-
tion by drafting them into Hungarian regiments."
The North German Gazette also contains the
following :—" The Couditutionuet and Indipe-
pendanee Beige have falsely ascribed a certain article
recently published upon Luxemburg to the Pro-
t vincial Correspondence.' The article in question
was published in a lithograph news letter, for
' which the Prussian government is in no way
responsible."
The semi-official Prussian organ also points out
that a statement contained in a recent number of
the Ltdipendance Beige relative to the Prussian
loan is incorrect, and declares that no use has been
made of the loan up to the present.

ANTWERP, Nov. 151

At the assizes held hero to-day Vital Douat, who
was charged with forgery and with attempting to
set fire to a merchant vessel by shipping a cargo of
combustible materials, was found guilty, and con-
Led to death.

On the evening of the 9th a hall was given in
the HAI of St. George and the adjoining suite of state
apartments at St. Petersburg, in honour of the marriage
of the Cesarewitch. Many generals and military officers
of every rank and degree attended, the Emperor's com-
mission, in accordance with the military traditions of the
realm, being a free passport. There were more Cir-
cassian uniforms noticeable now than in the afternoon,
" and, in a crowd of dark-visaged and ferocious-looking
strangers," writes the correspondent of the Tines, "Shamyl
was pointed out to me by an obliging chamberlain. Once
the lion of the Caucasus, he is now a feeble old man, with
hollow cheeks and a mild expression on his regular but not
very striking features. He was clad in a white tunic,
covered with a white caftan, and wore on his head a white
turban, with a rim of black sheepskin just skirting his
forehead. As lie sat there among his followers—he alone
of the whole assembly had been accorded a chair—and
listlessly passed the heads of his rosary through his lingers,
his person formed an ornament of the feast than which
few grander, one would think, can be imagined, even bya
Czar of all the Russians. On his left stood a gentleman in
Russian diplomatic uniform, whose face denoted him to
be of Eastern extraction. He acted as his interpreter,
and seemed to be on the most friendly footing with
the aged chief. On the right, a son of Shamyl, one
of the companions of his honourable captivity, leant on
the chair of his father. He was in the well-known Cir-
cassian dress, with an immense kolpak —a sort of grena-
dier's cap, only that instead of bearskin it is of white
lmb's woul—on is head. Ve much like his father, he
has one of thoseh peculiar country enances wbidi, at once
languid and threatening, hear an uncanny resemblance to

mountaineer's blouse, right over the cartridge folds on his
breast, dangled a pair of elegant eyeglasses which every now
and then he would handle with the easy grace of an exqui-
site. His hands, which, had not his father been unfortu-
nately vanquished, would now be employed in killing infi-
dels, were encased in the tightest of Paris gloves ; and

unexceptionable style of social courtesy. A little Circas-
