. "Gentlemen—Being charged to open the presents

sion, I have to declare, in conformity with the ins" t
tions of his Royal Highness the Elector, that the ete,
will be principally occupied with the overtures resltto
ing the declarations on the Constitution, which the "4
chambers have sent in, according to the prescription'
the Germanic Diet ; likewise, with the discussion °l'
the means of procuring resources for the expe2se
placing troops on a war footing, as ordered by the 000
body. In consequence of the discussion which is
open on the constitution, the Elector has decidedt2;
conformity with his declaration at the opening oftsf
last session, that in the oath prescribed by Art. 51%
the Constitution, all that concerns the Constitution Ex*Z
he again omitted. The Elector feels confident that Ofe
Chambers will zealously endeavour to bring the affair ?
the Constitution to a speedy termination, particularly
as they will find that the greatest consideration has been
paid to their propositions on the matter. It is Only
when that question is terminated that other subjects Gsko
be submitted to the diet. The Elector directs m°"
assure the Chambers of his most friendly feeling."

The Independance of Brussels published a flvie
days since a letter from Hamburg, in which 1.1'4

states that during the present war neither solder
nor sailor has landed to practise their exercises;
and that never has the Government of Samba%
had to complain of the conduct of those who hssrue
landed for other purposes. On the contrail, t'n
Senate of Hamburg has thanked the French re
presentative for the conduct displayed by the orte
of one of the French vessels that landed on t.ura
occasion of a fire, and rendered the most matn,_l.
assistance. The letter adds that although the 01
tility always displayed by the correspondent

may be explained, it is strange that be 811691.,
