I, e-
Y,!sr of 1840 to 1841, was approved of in the Chamber of
Fiseties on the 16th instant. On the pievious day, during the
ussion of this question, a very stormy debate took place
6wing to the following circumstances. Last week M. Avila,
the 7 Finance Minister, having had some angry words with M.
i°4o Baptista Garrett, this latter gentleman retaliated ina
Which
and eloquent speech against the project of Ministers, in
xuleh personal allusions to the Finance Minister were of no
yerY gentle nature. At its conclusion the Minister against
whum the attack was directed, after having vainly endeavoured to
I.lqlY, complained bitterly of the Speaker for not having called
h • Garrett to order. The President, however, contended he
ad acted impartially, and, upon the altercation growing warm,
declared he would never again sit as Speaker in that Chamber.
‘jr, Saturday last the House proceeded to ballot for a new
t'hi: a 15.er, when the Vice-President, M. Jervis de Autogia, was

°nerating M. Garrett of his commissions held under the Go-
\trninent--viz., Chronicler of the Realm, Vice-President of

HANOVER.
PROCLAMATION OF THE KING
" Ernest Augustus, by the Grace of God, King of Hanover,
" On the 30th of last month we saw ourselves under the ne.
cessity, though unwillingly, of dissolving the Assembly of the
States of the kingdom, because the Second Chamber proved by
its mode of acting that it was absolutely incapable of fulfilling
the duties imposed on it. Our proclamation of the 15th of
February, 1839, pointed out to our faithful subjects the reasons
why the constitution of 1819 was not modified in 1833 in the
manner determined upon on the 7th of December, 1819.
We explained ourse:ves formally on this subject be-
fore our accession. 'thus, at the period of our ac-
cession, the constitution of 1819 was alone placed under
the guarantee of article 56 of the Final Act of the Congress of
Vienna. According to the terms of article 13 of the
Federal Act, there should be a State constitution in each
State of the confederation. The introduction of a written con-
stitution is not a proscription of the federal legislation. Thus
we have several times expressed our opinion that written con-
stitutions were not, under every circumstance, necessary to the
States, arid even that objections might be raised against their
introduction. Nevertheless, taking into consideration the
wishes of our subjects, we submitted to the Assembly of the
States on the 18th of February, 1838, a project of constitution.
On the 27th of June, 1838, the Chambers were adjorned, and
we withdrew the project in consequence of the irregularity of
the discussion. On the 15th of June, 1839, the Assembly of
the States invited us to take again into consideration the ques-
tion of the constitution ; the States added that it was requisite
to proceed according to constitutional modes, conformably to
the wishes of the country. A committee was in consequence
appointed to prepare a project of constitution.
" The Assembly of the States had evidently the right to de-
liberate on this project. The resolution of the Germanic Diet
of the sth of September, 1839. could leave no doubt on this
point. On the 19th of March, 1840, the project was submitted
to the States. If some Deputies did not take part in that de-
liberation, this resistance could not be overcome by us. The
project was voted on the Ist of August, 1840, and promulgated
on the 6th of the same month. This constitution, having been
deliberated on between the King and the States, cannot be
attacked by any legal means. This constitution respects the
rights of our Royal house to the domains, and makes no attack
on the rights of the Crown based on the ancient constitution
of the country. It serves to strengthen the rights of the gene-
ral and provincial states of the kingdom ; it extends the
rights of the first to the protection of the consti-
stitution itself ; it protect.; the rights of corporations and
individuals, and establishes the equal division of the
taxation. It confirms the independent action of the judicial
power, and equally guarantees the action of the Administration.
It attributes to a special authority the right of separating, in
certain cases, the judicial'and administrative powers; and we
have confided this authority to the most estimable men of the
kingdom. The duration and the inviolability of the Constitu.
tion is assured for the future by the basis of the ancient right of
the Crown on which it reposes ; by the basis of the laws of the
'
German Confederation with which it is in accordanCe- on -all
points ; by the federal resolution of the sth of September,
1839 ; by our Royal word ; by the assent of the Prince Ro}al;
by the approbation of the States ; by the rights accorded to the
General Assembly of the States, and in its absence to the Col-
lege of the Treasury, to invoke the protection of the Ger-
manic Confederation. As long as Providence shall preserve
our life, we shall not for a moment doubt the legality of that
constitution. Our well-beloved son, the Prince Royal, has
formally expressed for the future this with in the First Cham-
ber. In consequence, we have, on the 14th April, in this
present year, convoked the Assembly of the States. Having
received the thanks of the authorities and the inhabitants for
this new constitution, we have not considered it necessary to
exercise a special surveillance over the elections which should
remain free. It is for this reason we confined ourself to order-
ing a surveillance of police. These measures have affected
some individuals, who are now the objects of a criminal prose-
cution. These individuals were formally opposed to the regu-
lations of the constitutional question and compromised public
order. We could even have caused their arrest according to a
law of the 27th June, 1838, and we shall carry that law into
execution whenever plots shall be entered into against the
safety of the State.
" We have just heard that some enemies of our Government
have spread a report that the taxes are about to be raised.
Notwithstanding this and other equally mischievous rumours,
only taking Counsel of our justice and of our solicitude for the
welfare of our subjects, we have reckoned on the unalterable de-
votion and gratitude of our subjects. On the 2d of June last
the Chambers assembled; 36 deputies manifested their attach-
ment to the laws of the country, 12 other Deputies have placed
themselves at the head of a party who are hostile to our Go-
vernment. Their object was to revive the constitutional ques-
tion, and to oppose every measure favourable to our subjects.
A number of others were drawn over to their way of thinking,
and thus they formed a majority in the Chamber hostile
to our Government. It has been weak ; it has been,
however, the means of paralysing our paternal views,
inasmuch as they required the concurrence of the States. The
Second Chamber, thus composed, have led away many Depu-
ties who were animated with tht best intentions, making them
believe that we wished to attack the established laws, whilst, on
the contrary, we respect them. It is thus with the Liberal
party. which respects neither private nor public rights. The
tyranny was become so intolerable that the members of the ma-
jority, fearing the responsibility which would weigh on them,
quitted the assembly, not daring to support a contary opinion.
Our governmental acts, our desire to lessen the taxes, which
press on agriculture, should have deprived the remarks of
the enemies of the Government of all their force. The first
acts of the Second Chamber showed hostile intentions. The
choice of the candidates for the Presidentship fell, first, on a
member who, under the reign of William IV., used all his
fforts to constrain the Royal power to make concessions and
to enter into compromises with the States. The second can-
didate declared on the 13th of March, 1833, in the Assembly
of the States, that he never wished for a fundamental law based
on the existing laws. The third was declared by us inadmis-
sible to the functions of the Councillor of the Treasury. These
three candidates obtained at the first ballot the absorute majo-
rity of voices, which proved that there was in the Chamber a
party decided on carrying on a systematic opposition against
the Government. Circumstances independent of our will
having prevented us from convoking the Assembly of the
States at an earlier period, it was our intentiod to shorten the
Session, that the Members might not be kept from their homes
beyond the usual period. The budget should have been the
first object of their attention. The Chamber, at the same
time, had communicated to it different financial and other
Rills. The First Chamber hastened to form a Com-
mittee on the Budget. The Second Chamber, instead of
forming a Committee of able and intelligent men,
made choice of Members who had no knowledge
of financial matters, and by. their turning their attention in-
stead to constitutional questions prevented the proceedings of
the other Chamber. It was our duty consequently to assure
the carrying on of the public service by constitutional means,
and as a commencement to dissolve the States agreeably to an
article of the Constitution, which we should otherwise have
done from the hostile attitude assumed by the Second Chamber.
The President of that Chamber being honoured with an inter-
view, hesitated not to draw conclusions from my words contrary
to their meaning, but in unison with his own ideas. In refusing
ail' concurrence with Government, it was wished to suggest to
the,,neople a false idea, that the Constitution of 1840, was not
to assure the welfare of the people arid the country, and
Ptl.o°P:xteio discontent against the existing authorities. The
Address tvs. rejected by the First Chamber, and blamed by a
large number of the Second. The discovery of these criminal
er their ors, who
projects will cillY
; tenons sonodious .
We repel authwith horrorhave suchsworn an
fidelity to us am
opposition.
"We have also to canplain of the conduct of the majority
in calumniating our most intimate servants, who profess an un-
bounded devotion to our person. In all important affairs of
State our faithful counsellors are charged with the execution
of our wishes, and if they are attacked the Courts of Justice
will know how to punish them. Conformably to the provi-
sions of the Constitution of August 6, 1840, we shall convoke
within the legal period an assembly of the States to which we
shall again snbmit the projects of law, which have not been
examined, and we are willing to believe that the errors com-
mitted by the majority of the Second Chamber of the dissolved
assembly will exercise a salutary influence on the composition of
the new one.
" We do not require the concurrence of the States to carry
on the public service and to levy the taxes, but we do require
their concurrence to realise objects which are of benefit to my
subjects, always the object of my paternal solicitude.
"Party spirit, which is blind, could alone dissemble that
the welfare and prosperity of the country most inevitably
suffer by a persistence in a state of things as adopted by the
dissolved Chamber.

ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR:
A considcra-
ble degree of excitement was caused last week in the town of
Brixharn by the discovery of a female sailor on board one of
the trawl boats, in which capacity she had been employed for
some time with much credit. On Sunday last she accom-
panied two lasses to a fruit-garden in the neighbourhood,
where she treated them, behaving with all the gallantry ima-
ginable ; while there a tailor, who was enjoying his " otiutn,"
attempted to interfere with our hero's girblowsls ; the sowedailor; Snip
resented it, high words ensued, and foll
showed fight like a man, while the pretended sailor was no
less active ; but alas ! fortune does not always favour the
brave • the tailor was too much for his opponent, and the
sailorlassey was so beaten that she was obliged to give in, and
on several persons coming round her to tifferse her tame,
her her sex was discovered, to tile great surpriy
the tailor not excepted. She is now dressed in apparel :tore
becoming her sex • she is an interesting and rather good-
looking girl. The reason she states for adopting her late
mode of life was, that she could enjoy more freedom than in
domestic servitude. She is sixteen years of age, and her
name is Ellen Watts ; she adopted the name of Charles
Watts, and stated that she was a native of Plymouth.—
