GERMANY.
PROROGATION OF THE PRUSSIAN
CHAMBERS.

The Prussian Chambers were prorogued on the
9th. The following was the Speech of the Paha-
DENT to the Council :

" Gentlemen,—The l'rusian Chambers have arrived
at the close of their second regular session, which
has occupied more than four months of your continued
activity.
" The commencement of your deliberations fell in an
agitated and critical period. Against threatening
dangers the collective military force of the kingdom was
called out, on a scale in which it had never been sum-
atoned before, and with a result that tilled the Prus-ian
people v:ith the conscioasne;s of their own strength and
commanded the respect of foreign nations, In the me3n-
rime cireuraiances arose under which his Majesty's Go-
vernment believed, alter due and conscientious conside-
' ration, they could avoid the confLet with States or the
German race. But it was na!ural that in the
state of reeling in the country other views of the posi-
tion of affairs would Lot remain without expr ssion
during your debates.
"Still Pie patriotism or both Chambers avoided a con-
flict which would only have damaged tit.. position or
t'russia externally', and injured her internal devt•lopmeLt
—a conflict which none but the enemies of Prussi.l could
:rave r,garded with hope.
" With z at you have applied to your high mission,
and by the fruits of your activity earned now claims to
the thanks of the nation.
" Thirty-four Bills, after going through the constitu-
tional discussion in both Chambers, have been laid be-
fore the Government, and in part, after receiving the
Ito) al sanction, have been published in the collection
of laws.

'You have the satisfaction of knowing that anew penal
code, which has been in preparation for many years to
supply a pressing deficiency, owes its completion to your
exertions.
"By your assent to the law on a class and classified
income-tax, you have maintained the means of meeting
the increased demands on the expenditure:, I the S ate, by
which the less wealthy classes of the population are not
only spared an increase of taxation, but in part have
had the burdens on them even much lightened.
" The State expenditure for the year 1851 has been
fixed, and by granting a credit of 11,500,000 thalers you
nave given the Government the means of covering the
expenses occasioned by calling out the army, which have
nut been incurred without many and permanent :advan-
vantages for the military power.
" It some draughts of laws have not been completed in
this session, yet their discussion, the many proposals
from the Chambers themselves, and the petitions pre-
sented to them, have furnished the Government with
materials which, you may be assured, will receive the
most careful consideration.

" By the decisions you have come to on the Bills laid
before you, you have given the Government the assur-
ance that it is, in essential points, in accordance with
the Legislative bodies of the nation. It will be the care
of the Government to preserve and increase this accord
by a vigorous yet careful execution of the laws you
have passed.
" The retrospect of the session is thus calculated to
confirm the assurance that the old Prussian spirit is still
powerful in the forms which, under your co-operation,
have become the Constitution of the country, and that
the chief condition of the development of Prussia on its
historical basis has remained unaffected by the confusions
of the time.
" The enemies of this development, who are the ene-
mies of divine and human order in general, certainly
rest as little as the passions by which they are agittted.
But revolution, wherever and under whatever form it
may appear, will find Prussia armed and the Govern-
ment watchful and firm,
" The threatening attitude of this enemy, irrespective
of other grounds, renders it the imperative duty of all
the German Governments no longer to leave Germany
without a central organ, generally recognised both withia
Germany itself and by foreign powers.
" Whether the German Governments now return to
the form of the older Constitution of the Bund, cr
whether the plans, by no means abandoned, of a new
organization of that Constitution, will be reaiiz'd in a
practicable form, the indepe-ndent developm, tit of Prussia
shall not thereby be in any way endangered.
" But the true and silent guarantee for a happy and
glorious future for our country, its political and material
welfare, its increasing internal prosperity, and its influ-
ence and power abroad, you will, with his Majesty's
Government, find in the unweart, d holding together,
and co-operation of all those who unite in truth and faith
under the motto of a great and glorious era—' With God
for King and Fatherland.' "
The PRESIDENT then declared, in the name of the
KING, that the session was closed.
