The Prince Regent opened the session of the
Norwegian Storthing, at Christiania, on the 14th
instant.

His Royal Highness commenced by an allusion
to the disasters caused by the commercial crisis of
last year, and from which Norway had not escaped :
"The probability (continued the Prince) that the
Treasury, the receipts of which are chiefly the produce
of indirect taxes, will not be able in dun time to meet
the expenses enumerated in the Budget, and the
necet•sity of adopting certain extraordinary mea-
sures to succour those branches of industry which
are suffering, have inspired his Majesty with the
wish of executing such measures, with the concert
of the elect of the nation, as will ba pr.per to sati-fy
the wants cf the moment.
"His Majesty has full confilence in your patriotism
and counts upon your active support to resist the pres-
sure of circumstances.

"His Maj6mty learned with deep regret the rohLf )r-
-tune which has befallen the capital, as well as the com-
mercial town of Moss.

"These conflagrations, of so frequent occurrence, im-
periously remand the introduction of reforms into the
present regulations concerning the architeAure of citi s,
so as to shield them mbre efficaciously from disasters of
this nature."
In conclusion, the Prince Regent announced to
Storthing that no favourable change had taken
place in the state of health of his august father,
the King.
