had more value in his eyes than his country, and
his God has abandoned him, as he had abandoned
his Gcd for his allies of hell.

" Magyars ! Beloved companions, blame me not
for having cast mine eyes on this man, and for
having given to him my place. It was necessary,
for the people had bestowed on him their confidence ;
the army loved him, and he obtained a power of
which I myself would have been proud. And, never-
theless, this man belied the confidence of the nation,
and has repaid the love of the army with hatred.
Curse him, people of the Magyars ! Curse the breast
which did not first dry up before it gave him its
milk. I idolize thee, 0 thou most faithful of the
nations of Europe, as I idolize the liberty for which
thou hast proudly and bravely combated. The God
of liberty will never efface thee from his memory.
Mayest thou be for ever blest !
" My principles have not been those of Washing-
ton ; nor yet my acts those of Tell. I desired a free
nation—free as man cannot be made but by God.
And thou art fallen ; faded as the lily, but which in
another season puts forth its flowers still more lovely
than before. Thou art dead—for hath not thy winter
come on ? but it will not endure so long as that of
thy companion under the frozen sky of Siberia. No !
Fifteen nations have dug thy tomb. But the hosts of
the sixteenth will come to save thee.
_Be faithful, as

thou hast been even to the present. Conform to the
holy counsels of the Bible. Lift up thy heart in
prayer for the departed; but do not raise thine own
hymn until thou hearest the thunder of the liberating
people echo along thy mountains, and bellow in the
depth of thy valleys.
" Farewell, beloved companions ! Farewell, com-
rades ! countrymen ! May the thought of God, and
may the angels of liberty for ever be with you. Do
not curse me. You may well be proud ; for have not
the lions of Europe risen from their lairs to destroy
the rebels ?' I will proclaim you to the civilized
world as heroes ; and the cause of an heroic people
will be cherished by the freest nation of the earth—
the freest of all free people !
" Farewell, thou land dyed with the blood of the
brave ! Guard those red marks—they will one day
bear testimony on thy behalf.
" And thou, farewell, 0 youthful Monarch of the
Hungarians ! Forgetnot that my nation is not destined
for thee. Heaven inspires me with the confidence
that the day will dawn when it shall be proved to thee
even on the ruined walls of Buda.
" May the Almighty bless thee, my beloved country.
" Believe : Hope, and Love !"
The German Reform says—
" The fate of the Hungarian refugees is now decided,
by the mediation of the American Envoy in London.
Klapka has obtained in five different parts of the north
of the United States a sufficient tract of country for
founding a Hungarian colony. The price of the land
was very moderate. Ujaza, the civil ex-governor of
Comorn, is to quit Hamburgh on the 15th of this
month, accompanied by an engineer, for America, by
the steamer Hermann, for the purpose of surveying the
land, and dividing it into allotments. The other Hun-
garians are to leave the same day, with Klapka, in the
sailing-vessel."

OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS-THE KING'S

SPEECH.

BaussELs, Nov. 14.—T0-day the legislative ses-
sion for 1849.50 was opened by the KING in per-
son, with the accustomed solemnities. Ilis MAJESTY
delivered the following Speech from the Throne :
" Gentlemen,—The state of the country continues
to exhibit a most favourable aspect. The tranquillity
which it enjoys attests the excellent spirit which
animates it and the value of its institutions.

" Belgium, tranquil and free, maintains an honour-
able position among nations, and foreign Govern-
ments give us unceasing proofs of confidence and
sympathy.
" The crops have this year been unusually abun.
dant. They have secured to our labouring popula
tion the blessings of nourishment at a cheap price,
and have, at the same time, enabled our cultivators to
export a large proportion of their products. The
minds of men are in these days directed with re-
newed ardour to the progress of agriculture.
" The divers measures adopted by my Govern-
ment, seconded by the efforts of the provincial and
commercial administrations, as well as by the com-
munal committees and private individuals, cannot fail
to exercise in future that influence upon agricul-
ture of which we are already able to see the happy
results.

" The state of our manufactures in general is satis-
factory ; our exports to distant markets manifest pro-
gress sufficiently remarkable to induce us to endeavour
to sustain and increase it.

" A very sensible improvement has taken place in
the condition of the Flemish districts which have suf-
fered most. The recent exposition at Ghent has re-
vealed the capability and energy of their populations
so vs orthy of interest.
"We have much happiness in confirming the re-
sults obtained.

"The postal regime which you voted in your last
session has hitherto responded to the expectations
which were entertained of it.

" The new postal conventions which we have con-
cluded with several foreign countries, and those
which we are upon the point of concluding, have the
advantage of extending the benefit of moderation and
a uniform rate of taxation. _ _

" The session which is now about to open will, I
have no doubt, gentlemen, be worthy of those which
preceded it. The same zeal and the same patriotism
will prevail over the works which will come before
you, The last session was closed by voting the law
on superior instruction. So far as that important law
has hitherto been carried out it has been crowned
with success. Time will allow us more and more to
appreciate the ameliorations which it involves. You
will have to complete your work, gentlemen, by this
year voting the laws announced on the other branches
of instruction.

"Thus public instruction, imparted at the expense
of the state, will be established on constitutional bases,
and be equivalent to free instruction.
" Our penal system has for some time called for those
modifications which are conformable with the manner
and spirit of the age. I hope that during this session
you may be able to occupy yourselves in modifying
the first book of the penal code.
" The punishment of branding ought to be exploded
from our code. A project shall be submitted to you
to this end. _ .

" The approaching expiry of the term assigned to
the privileges of the General Society, and the condi-
tions which now prevail in that establishment, and
the obligation imposed by the law of compatibility to
organize the service of the state cashier before the Ist
of January next, call for measures which now occupy
the full attention of my Government.
" Laws will be submitted to you relative to the or-
ganization of savings' banks and seignorial credits.
The presentation of the latter renders more urgent
the examination of the project on the reform of mort-
gages, which was submitted to you last session.
"I I likewise recommend to your serious examination
the project of law relative to loan banks for the working
classes, whose moral and national welfare so justly
claims our interest.
" The army continues to show itself worthy of the
nation by its discipline, its knowledge, and loyalty.
"The civic guard, by its good organization, and by
the sentiments which animate it, is a fresh pledge of
our safety.
" I have this year had occasion to visit several of
our provinces. I was everywhere welcomed with
demonstrations of loyalty and affection, the remem-
brance of which will always be dear to me. lam
happy to be enabled to proclaim here the intimate
union between the Government and the country, and
the entire harmony which prevails among all the
powers of the Stats. There lies our chief strength,
both present and future.
" By continuing to lend my Government your
loyal concurrence, you will contribute, gentlemen,
to uphold a system which guarantees the rights and
interests of all, and thereby acquire a fresh title to
the gratitude of the nation, and the esteem of foreign
Powers."
