heavy sea, and with a strong wind from the east, to burn

risk, the crew, seven in number, were rescued. The life-

AUSTRIA.
At the commencement of the sitting of the Chain-
ber of Deputies, on the Ist, M. de Schmerling read
the following Imperial message :—" At the moment
the Reichsrath is about to commence this constitu-
tional discussion of the Budget of 1862, and the finan-
cial laws connected therewith, and when especially
the proposals of the Government will be discussed,
which have for their object to provide for the wants
of the State and the settlement of financial ques-
tions, his Majesty has charged his Ministers to an-
nounce to the two Chambers of the Reichsrath that
the declaration made on the 2d of July, 1861, to the
Chamber of Deputies, that for the maintenance
of the Constitution, and for the exact execution of
the laws, the Ministers hold themselves equally
responsible towards the representatives of the
empire, was made by the express authority of his
Majesty the Emperor; that his Majesty the Em-
peror has not only given his assent to the principle
of Ministerial responsibility, with the restrictions
fixed on the 2d July, 1861, but, moreover, the Em-
peror has wished it to be stated that, with the recog-
nition of that principle resulting already from the
publication of the Constitution, the enactment con-
tained in the Cabinet Order of 2uth August,lB6l, and
according to which the Ministry is responsible only
and solely to the Monarch, and that it is relieved from
all responsibility towards any other political autho-
rity, ceases naturally to be in vigour, insomuch as
it is not in accordance with the above-mentioned
principle of Ministerial responsibility. His Majesty
has, moreover, consented that in due time the Go-
vernment shall take the initiative of a project of
law on the responsibility of Ministers maintaining
trinciples proclaimed in the sitting of the Chamber
of Deputies of the 2d July, 1861."
After the reading of the imperial message, Deputy
Wieser mounted the tribune, and said that his Ma-
jesty, by solemnly proclaiming that the responsi-
bility of the Ministers towards the Chambers was a
necessary consequence of the Constitution, and that
the enactment of the 21st August, 1861, was not in
accordance with that principle, deserved again the
gratitude of the representatives of the Empire.
(cheers), and consequently he proposed to the Cham-
ber three rounds of cheers in honour of his Majesty.
The Chamber at once complied, and the sitting
broke up amidst prolonged cheering.
