THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS,
BERLIN, MARCH 11.

As soon as the doors of the Chamber were opened
this morning the galleries were filled with specta-
tors. The deputies, who had arrived early, were in
earnest conversation. At ten minutes past ten
o'clock all the Ministers took their seats, with the
exception of the President, Prince of Hohenzollern,
M. Auerswald, and M. Bethmann-Hollweg. The
President, Grabow, at once opened the sitting, and
said that, before any further proceedings, the
Minister of Commerce, M. von der Heydt, would
make a communication to the Chamber. M. von
der Heydt rose and said :
" By my communication of the 7th inst. to your
President, the Chamber of Deputies was informed
that the Ministry were occupied with most im-
portant deliberations. Those deliberations were
consequent upon the yote passed in the last sitting
of the Chamber. The Ministry felt it their duty to
consider how they ought to act. Although the
Minister of Finance, in the most courteous manner,
held out the prospect that the desired Budget sti-
pulations should be complied with for 1863, never-
theless the motion of M. Hagen was adopted. That
vote showed the position the Chamber assumed to-
wards the Government, and after conscientious,
serious deliberation the Ministry came to the conclu-
sion that they did not possess that confidence from the
Chamber, or that support which was requisite suc-
cessfully to watch over the interests of the country.
This conviction rendered it necessary for the Minis-
try to tender their resignation to his Majesty the
King. This was done on the Bth inst. His Majesty
declined to accept the resignation in an order dated
March 9. That order runs thus On the com-
munication of the Ministry of State of yesterday I
inform the same that, considering the confidence I
place in the Ministry,: and the respect they enjoy
with the well-advised portion of the country, I can-
not grant their request. Considering these grounds,
I look forward for such new measures as they think
th< y may advise me that they may continue their
duty in watching over the welfare of the State.'
" The Ministry have felt it their duty to obey this
high order, and have accordingly proposed new
measures so as to enable them successfully to fulfil
their duties. The Ministry are convinced that it is
only by a joint co operation and confidence between
the Chamber and the Government of his Majesty
that the interests of the monarchy can be taken
care of. Perfectly conscious of their responsibility,
and after careful deliberation, they have come to
the conclusion that the vote in the Chamber, of the
6th inst., shows that this condition does not exist,
and the Ministry have consequently advised the
King to exercise the right invested in him by the
51st Article of the Constitution. Consequent
whereon, I have to communicate the following
Royal Decree to the Chamber:—
" We, William, by the Grace of God, &c., in
virtue of Articles 51 and 77 of the Constitution, by
advice of our Ministers of State, do decree

- -
i
" 'l. That the Chamber of Deputies s hereby
dissolved.

2. That the Upper House be adjourned.
3. That our Ministry of State is charged with
carrying out the present decree.

President Grabow then thanked the Chamber for
the support he had received from it in his depart-
ment, and concluded by proposing three cheers for
the King, which were responded to by the house.
