The Emperor said—
ed

Honoun members of my Reichsrath,—After arrange-
ments have been made during the former part of the ses-
sion by which the Reichsrath, in force of its constitutional
right, is enabled to treat subjects of legislation common to
all my kingdoms and countries, I have convoked that body
for the execution of this purpose, as the collective represen-
tation of my empire. While 1 now formally open its ses-
sion I greet you, the archdukes and princes of my house,
most honoured and itlustrious gentlemen of both Houses of
the Reichrath.
It is fey intention, so soon as the termination of your
duties E. hull have brought this session to a cicse, to allow
the lesser Reichsrath to come into ep?.ration. I also expect
that in the eastern pot tion of my empire the same constitu-
tional activity which has so happily prevailed in eay prin-
cipality of Siebenburgen will everywhere begin afresh. To
this olject, which I desire shortly to see achieved, not only
in the interest of those kingdoms, but also of my whole
empire, the chief endeavours of my Geverntnent are ci-
rected. Confidence and real unanimity will conduce to
blessed results.

A series of events, important not only to my family, but
also to the whole empire, has occurred between the close of
the last session and the present day,
The acceptance of the Mexican Imperial Throne, with
my consent, on the part of my brother, the Archduke Fer-
dinand Maximilian, now Emperor Maximilian I. of Mexico,
has rendered necessary a settlement of the rights of the
agnates thereby brought under consideration. .
For this purpose I executed a family compact at Mira-
mar on the 9th of April in the present year, which my Go-
vernment is authorised to communicate to you.

lina, Rejection, Lady Florence, Nabob, and Verdant, who
followed in close company, close up with whom were Jack
Jukes and Leoville, who headed the others, the last of whom
were Hetty and Spring Gun. They retained their positions
to the bend for home, where th 3 leaders were joined by Leo-
villa, but on reaching the distance Fravolina and Rejection
dropped back, when Mr Angell's colt headed Lsdy Flo-
rence, but was unable to reach the favourite, who won very
cleverly by a length ; a bad third, Verdant fourth. Fra-
volina fifth, and Nabob sixth, beaten off. The last three

Animated by the earnest endeavour to assist in the pre-
servation and maintenance of general peace, I congratulate
myself upon the good understanding and friendly relations
existing between my Government and the other great
Powers of Europe. I shall not cease to uphold these rela..
tions, and to do everything in order to preserve my empire,
at present occupied with so many important tasks, from
foreign complications.
A subject of dispute for many years in the north of Ger-
many hes just been settled in the most honourable manner.
The representatives of my empire will participate with
truly patriotic feeling in my satisfaction that a close which
contains the fulfilment of the highest expectations has been
put to the war between the German. Powers and Denmark
by the Treaty of Peace, signed at Vienna on the 30th of
Oatober, and the ratification of which is expected in a few
days. The courage of the allied troops and the navies of
Austria and Prussia has conquered that splendid prize, and
the wise and just forbearance of the neutral Powers has
facilitated the final understanding. The high value of the
unanimity between myself and my august Federal ally. the
King of Prussia, has again been proved by memorable

the favourite, and Catalogue in the order named to the
turn past the stand, when Cambuscan headed Lord Bate-
man's colt and waited upon the leader to the half mile
post, where he assumed the command, which he held into
the straight, where Catalogue, who had improved her posi-
tion, took the second place as they neared the distance,
but was never enabled to reach the favourite, who won
very cleverly at last by a length; a bad third. Moulsey.
who was pulled up opposite the stand, did not pass the

made strong running, with the others in close attendance,
with the exception of Ossian, who was last. On reaching
the mile post Morocco dropped back, and the lead was at
once taken up by True Heart, who with Ibex, Stanton, and
Garibaldi came on together to the flight of hurdles placed
at the distance, where Ossian, wbo had been gradually
drawing forward, joined the leaders, and catching True
Heart at the stand won a splendid race on the post by a
head ; a bad third. Bowman was fourth, Stanton fifth, and
Garibaldi next. Telscombe pulled up at the stand, and did
not pass the pos.c.

results.
But I do not doubt that in the face of the glorious and
happy solution of the question by which Germany has been
excited to her inmost core the entire country will again
find that concord which affords so powerful a guarantee for
her own safety and welfare, as well as for the quiet and
equilibrium of Europe. To my regret, the unfortunate in-
fluence which events in the Kingdom of Poland have
recently exercised upon the countries bordering my empire
have imposed upon my Government the necessity of
undertaking exceptional measures in those countries for
the preservation of internal quiet and for the protection of
the persons and property of the peaceable population. They
have been accompanied with successful results for the
security of these imperilled interests. I have perceived
with satisfaction that some a these measures have already
shown themselves capable of being dispensed with, and I
gladly give myself up to the expectation that they may
be entirely withdrawn at no distant period. The finances
of ray kingdom will claim your special attention. It was
not possible that the unfavourable conditions which
everywhere govern the European money markets could
be without obstructive influences en the progress of the
politico-economical and financial development of Austria.
In this unmistakably d fficult situation the payment of
the increased demands of the State has yet constantly been
punctually provided for. The earnest striving to econo-
mise affords satisfactory expectation that when the extraor.'
dinary State expenses still at present existing have been
surmounted the disturbance in the finances and in the
equilibrium of the Budget will at last be removed. Two
Budgets will exceptionally be laid before you in the present
Session—viz., that for the year 1865, and immediately after-
wards that for the year 1866. By this transitory measure
it is intended to intrOuce a settled succession of time in
the Sessions of the Iteichsrath and the Provincial Diets, and
also irsure the possibility of concluding the labours of the
Budget prior to the commencement of the financial year.
The first financial law constituti, silty passed has been
noluded in the general Budget for IH2. The last will be
kid berore you in this session by my Government. I recom-
mend to yk ur especial et'ention the bills to be brought in
for the regulation of the oirect taxation, the speedy operation
of which is to be desired as much in the interest of a more
just end equitable partition of the burden ct taxation as of a
provision better corresponding to the demands of the State
Your attention will also be directed to the consideration
of other financial reeaeures with the of jest of improving
existing laws, and the parti,l, not unimportant, alleviation
of the burdens of the taxpayers. I mention in this cate-
gory a bill to lessen the poll.tax in my principality of
Siebenbui gen.
For several years past the politico-economical unity of
Germany, which is designated in the 19th article ef the
Federal Act as the object of the efforts of the Federation,
has taken a more decided shape in later treaties, and one
more in conformity with the requirements of the time.
This question has engaged the full attention of my Go-
vernment.
To bring about a successful solution of this problem,
which is of importance to the Federal Diet, and greatly
concerns the interests of Austria, negotiations have become
necessary, which are now being conducted by my Govern-
ment with that earnestness befitting the subject. The result
of these negotiations will be communicated to you by my
Government, and I hope they will not be without favour-
able influence upon the establishment of the new Customs'
tariff which is to come into operation in the course of this
Session.

Recognising the advantages which will accrue to my
empire in every respect by the increase of means of commud
nication, I have commissioned my Government at once to
direct their uninterrupted and energetic labour to the pre-
paration of a plan for the formation of a network of railways
sufficient for the wants of my kingdoms and principalities.
Conformably to these views, my Government will bring
before you a series of Bills in reference to the State guaran-
tee to several new railway undertakings. At any rate in the
course of this session, and as soon as possible, a Bill will
be submitted for constitutional consideration, having for its
object the formation of a line to the principality of Tran-
sylvannia and through the interior of that country.
With deep regret I have perceived the heavy pressure to
which trade in my territories, as well as elsewhere, has
been exposed—yet the advanced position it has already taken
up induces me to hope that, sheltered by the blessings of
peace, its own power and sound legislation, it will again
attain a lasting and satisfactory development.
Several Bills having reference to politico-economical in-
terests, as well as other matters coming within the province
of the assembled Reichsrath, are being prepared by my Go-
vernment, to be laid before you, and will be brought in
for discussion in the course of the Session. It is my wish,
for the fulfilment of which your devoted zeal is a guarantee
to see the question to which you are about to turn your
attention speedily settled, since a series of important and
voluminous bills have been prepared by my Government for
the consideration of the lesser Reichsrath, whose return
depends upon that condition.
Honoured Members of my Reichsrath I
While 1 dismiss you with the assurance of my Imperial
favour and peace to the consideration of the important
question before you, I am not unaware of their difficulties;
but I have firm confidence that, with your counsel
and
assistance, I shall succeed in conducting the empire in-
trusted to me by Providence with a strong hand towards a
fortunate future. I derive this confidence from the love
and fidelity, from the sagacity and strength, of my subjects,
whom I recommend to the Almighty protection of Heaven,
wishing from my inmost heart that their destinies may
conduce to the happiness and fame of the common father-
land.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa,
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt lined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded' with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakiast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its
Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredicat necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, tilled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined and lib. labelled packets, and sold by
grocers, tonfectioners, and chemists. - [Anv'r.]
COLT'S REVOLVERS.—Since the war began the
Government of the United States has ordered 75,000 of
Colt's new holster pistols for their cavalry, artillery, and
military train. The various Governments of our colonies,
such as those of Natal, the Cape, New South Wales, and
Victoria, have ordered the same weapon for cavalry, artil-
lery, and military train ; and in New Zealand and Otago
the revolver carbines and pistols have been served out to
the local troops engaged in hard work. If cavalry are
to have fire-arms at all, a good heavy Colt is as good a
weapon as they can have, and for artillery and transport
service it is at least a very useful adjunct to ordinary Bra
mament,—Ariny and Nary Gazette,
