monarchy.

The introduction to this document says :
" The proclamation of the King of the 28th Jan.,
1852, stated his Majesty's intention to combine the
different portions of the monarchy by means of a
common constitution, into one single well-regulated
State. This intention could not be realised, because
the Federal Diet interfered in the interior affairs
of the monarchy, and set up demands not founded on
Federal laws, and incompatible with the indepen-
dence of the Crown and the privileges of those por-
tions of the country not belonging to the Confedera-
tion. The estates of Holstein have in addition rejected
every proposition which might have led to an agree-
ment, and have declared themselves hostile to any
common constitution based upon united representa-
tion. Such a state of internal discord, by which
the development of the kingdom has been paralysed
for the last ten years, cannot longer continue. In
consequence of the unsatisfactory results of the last
I Assembly of the Holstein Diet, we deem it our duty
as ruler to settle the position of Holstein in the
Monarchy as we consider most in conformity with
our Federal duties. For the present we confine
ourselves to the most urgent part of this task, re-
serving
any further developments for a future
period.

"By this present proclamation, therefore, we
grant to Holstein an independent army. For the
future Holstein will share with the rest of the mo-
narchy the civil list, the appanages, the public
debt, the navy, the department for foreign aff►irs,
the administration of the domains, the customs, and
the postal arrangements, but even in reference to
these details the Estates of Holstein shall have the
right of decision,reserving further separation where
no agreement between the Holstein Estates and the
Rigsraad (Council of the Empire) for Denmark-
Schleswig shall be found attainable." His Ma-
jesty further ordains that the Alinistry shall sub-
mit to the Holstein Estates bills, establishing con-
stitutional regulations for the general control of
the finances, a liberal electoral law, liberty of the
press, the right of petition and of association, and
religious freedom. The proclamation calls together
the Rigsraad (Legislative Assembly for Denmark-
Schleswig) upon the 22d April next.

13_41tIS, APRIL 2.
It is officially stated that the last reports received
from Mexico announce that General Forey had
summoned a council of all the generals and chiefs
of the service for the 28th February, in order to
arrange the details of the movement on Puebla, and
give their final instructions.
The parks of artillery, the war material, and a
great depot of stores were concentrated at
Quecholac, to which place all the munitions neces-
sary for the first operations had been cor.veyed.
The sanitory condition of the army was very
satisfactory.

The Constztutionnel of to day in an article signed
by M. Limayrac says :—" In the maintenance of
M. Fould in the Ministry, the country will see
with pleasure a fresh pledge of good order in the
finances, and of reduction in the public burdens."
