HAMBURGH MAIL.

KoNIGSBERG, SEPT. 10.—This forenoon the cere-
mony of doing homage, by the Estates of the King-
dom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Posen, took
place. All the preliminary ceremonies being performed
the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Prussia approached
the lowest step of the Throne and delivered the Ad-
dress to the Estates, which was answered by a speech
for the Estates of the Kingdom of Prussia, and by a
speaker for the Grand Duchy of Posen. Counsellor
Zander then read the oath, which was taken by the
Deputies selected for the purpose. Now came the
most solemn moment of the whole ceremony. The
King having risen with dignity from the Throne, and
having advanced towards the assembled functionaries
pronounced the following Address
" And I vow here in the sight of God, and in the
presence of all these beloved witnesses, that I will be a
just judge, a faithful, careful, and merciful Prince, a
Christian King, as my never to be forgotten father
was.. Blessed be his memory. I will administer jus-
tice with vigour, without respect of persons. I will
study, cherish, and promote the good, the prosperity,
the honour of all classes with equal affection, and 1 pray
to God to give me the chief blessing of a Prince which
renders the hearts of men inclined to him, a man ac-
cording to the Divine will, the delight of the good,
the terror of evil doers. God bless our dear country.
Its State has been envied, often aimed at in vain.
Among us there is union ; between the beads and the
members, Isetween the Prince and the people, a noble
unity of purpose in all classes to attain one great object ;
the general good with sacred truth and true honour.
From this spirit arises our power of self defence, which
is without its parallel. May God preserve our Prus-
sian country, Germany, and all the world. Manifold
and yet one, like the noble ore, which compounded of
various metals, forms one of the most noble of all."

A storm of joyful acclamation burst forth when the
King, with tears in his eyes, returned to the Throne,
and fervent prayers rose to Heaven for the father of his
country.

After the Minister of State, Von Rochow, had an-
nounced the various favours confirmed by his Majesty,
the Marshal of the kingdom of Prussia gave three cheers
for the King and Queen, which was several times re-
peated with enthusiasm by the assembled people. A
Royal salute was then fired by the guns placed in the
Palace gardens, during which all the persons present
sang the hymn, " Nun danket alle Gott" (Now let all
praise God), in which the King, standing on the balcony,
joined. Renewed cheers followed his Majesty as he
withdrew to his apartments.—Hamburgh Paper,
