COPENHAGEN, Aug. 6.
The text of the Danish Constitution enjoins that
after new elections have taken place the Itigsdag
(or Legislative Assembly for the kingdom alone)
shall be convoked within two months at latest. The
Rigsdag therefore met pro forma to-day, unexpected
solemnity being imparted to the proceedings by the
King opening the Session in person with a speech
from the throne,

At noon the members of both Houses assembled
in the salcon of the Folkething, the foreign corps
diplon2atique taking up their stations in the am-
bassadors' gallery. Shortly afterwards the King
entered, accompanied by the Crown Prince, the
Ministers, and the Wurt, and, taking his stand in
front of the throne, read the following speech :
"To our faithful littlish Rigsdag, Cour Royal
greeting.

"Although the S3ssion, to which we have sum-
moned our faithful Rigsdag in accordance with
article 27 of the Conetitulion, must be immediately
prorogued on account of circumstances, we have yet
felt the necessity of opening this Rigsdag in person,
and of assembling round us the chosen of the
people,

" Notwithstanding the courage and endurance
with which our valiant army and fleet have fought
to uphold Denmark's right and honour, and not-
withstanding the readiness with which the entire
people has borne eveiy sacrifice for the salvation of
the country, the war waged against us by a superior
force will nevertheless compel us and our people to
the heaviest and most grievous concessions. For,
as all Europe leaves us without assistance, we have
seen ourselves forced to yield to numbers, and to
endeavour to terminate a war, the continuance of
which under existing circumstances, would only
entail upon our beloved people and country greater
losses and misfortunes, without holding out the
prospect of any improvement in our position.

"Nevertheless, we will look towards the future
placidly i❑ full reliance upon cur faithful Danish
people, entertaining the firm hope that brighter
days will not fail if King and people unite to heal
the deep wounds inflicted upon our beloved country.
" We rely especially on you, gentlemen, the elect
of the nation, to labour faithfully with us fcr the
welfare of the country, and wish you in all your
endeavours the blessing of heaven ! "
His Majesty then quitted the Chamber, accom-
panied by the cheers of the members.
