The Dutch Chambers were opened to-day. The
King, in the speech from the throne, said :—" De-
spite the war which has been carried on near our
frontiers, the Netherlands have uninterruptedly
enjoyed the blessings of peace, and our foreign re-
lations have continued moat satisfactory. How-
ever gladdening this fact, it must not be forgotten
that the nation will find, after God, its firmest
support in itself. I have, therefore, seen
with pleasure, as a proof of the national spirit, the
organisation of corps of volunteers." His Majesty

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
BERLIN, &Fr. 17, Evumia.

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House, the elec-
toral law for the proposed German Parliament came
on for discussion. The government declared itself
desirous that the bill should be adopted as amended
by the Lower House. After a lengthened debate,
during which the majority of the speakers urged
that its adoption should be coupled with certain
reservations, the whole bill was passed without any
discussion of the separate paragraphs. The pro-
posals of the committee of the Upper House were
agreed to in the form of a special resolution. The •
Polish members opposed the bill.
To-day the Annexation Committee of the Cham-
ber of Deputies recommended unanimously the
adoption of the bill for the incorporation of Schles-
wig-Holstein with Prussia in the following form
" The Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein shall be united
to the Prussian monarchy, pursuant to art. 2 of the
Prussian constitution." The other paragraphs
were passed as proposed by the government, a re-
solution being added by the committee urging the
introduction as speedily as possible of a bill for the
annexation of the Duchy of Lauenburg.

of Austria to a settlement of the negotiations rela-
tive to the Venetian debt as placing in question the
