" liEltTLElf N—liis Majesty announces to the Storthing that
its sittings are closed. luring the whole time that it has bei.tt m.
sembled, the King has seen with satistaetion the rued feelings which
have directed than. Several laws essential to general and particular
interests have been adopted, and his Alves:), expects from them the
best results. His .Majesty rcgre:s that the constitutional propos!.
Sons made by him in 1821, and especially that respectir.g Sect. 79,
touching the absolute veto, have not been adopted this Session;
hut at the same time his 31ajtaity has a motive of consolation in the
conviction which he feels, that the non-ace:Twice of this proposi.
tion has not had for cause a spirit of opposition, but rather a fear of
tooprocipitately touching the Constitutional Pact.

" His lilajesty thinks that the elucidations which have since been
given to the Storthing will dispel any doubts which may yet exist
on the subject of the absolute veto, whioh the Supreme Chief of the
State ought to exercise over the pmposidons of the Legislature.
" The King conceives that the Storthing participates in the hap.
piness which his Majesty feels at the amelioration of all branches
of the public administration. Although good operates slowly, the
evidence of this good is so developed in the eyes of all, that even
the most tenacious, in justice, canr.ot question it.
•• The King is convinced that all the Members of the Storthing
will concur with him to increase and maintain, by the means in
their power, an the ramifications of public prosperity; and his
Majesty will eagerly avail himself of the assistance of the National
Assembly on all occa..ions when be deems that the welfare of the
Stat • requires it.
His Majesty renews to you, Gentlemen, to an in general, sod
to each in particular, the asaurande of his Royal good-will."
