The Schleswig Estates.

SCHLESWIG, Feb. 1.

A memorial has recently been addressed by a
number of influential Schleswigers to Governor von
Manteuffel, asking for the immediate convocation
of the Schleswig Estates.

The memorial commenced by referring to the
proclamation of Field-Marshal von Wrangel, in
February, 18G4, which said :—" We come to pro-
tect your rights. The laws of the country retain
validity in so far as the safety of the troops does
not require immediate and temporary exceptions."
After stating that although peace has now been
excluded for more than a year the temporary ex-
ceptional condition still continues—a circumstance
which fills both German and Danish inhabitants of
Schleswig with serious apprehensions—the memo-
rial proceeds : _ _

" A series of changes has taken place since Feb-
ruary, 1864, in the organisation of the country and
its authorities, 'without any reference whatever to
the legal co-operation of the representatives. An
amount of insecurity has entered into all political
and commercial relations which endangers the
rights not less than the welfare of the population.
Nothing whatever has yet been done towards the
establishment of a firm and settled condition which
must necessarily harmonise with the demands of
the present time and the rights of the people. Not
even the requisite preparatory steps have yet been
taken.
" According to the existing laws the population
is entitled to a certain, if only limited, amount of
constitutional rights, in which the Government is
not privileged to make arbitrary changes. The Go-
vernment has no right to issue laws, save with the
assent of the representatives. Even in urgent cases,
when the Estates are not sitting, and cannot be
convoked as rapidly as circumstances require, pro-
visional orders may only be made upon the respon-
sibility of the Minister for the Duchy of Schleswig,
whom the Estates, if they do not admit the urgency
for issuing such provisional orders, are entitled
to call to account before the Schleswig Court of
Appeal. In every third year at latest the Estates
must be convoked in general assembly to
and debate propositions, petitions, and complaints.
The year 1866, in which ley the Constitution of
1854 for the Duchy of Schleswig the convocation of
the Estates must take place, has already begun.
But as the majority of the members and deputies
are for various reasons not constitutionally repre-
sentatives, the country does not at present possess
the legal organ suitable for the exercise of any con-
stitutional rights and privileges whatever. A series
of legislative measures has nevertheless been ordered,
which must undoubtedly be considered as requiring
the assent of the representatives.

" The entire financial administration of the coun-
try is based upon administrative pleasure, mithout
any constitutional control. .

" The land is occupied by as large a garrison as

General von 11lanteuffel has issued a proclama-
tion by way of reply to this memorial, the dosing
paragraph of which is as follows :
" I pass over the tone, arguments, and accusa-
tions of this document, and refer merely to the
words I addressed to the officials in Flensburg on
the 25th September last year. I said, ' The circum-
stances in which the Duchies still continue have
unfortunately rendered requisite the cessation of an
element indispensably necessary to their prosperity
—I mean the representation. So long as this is in
abeyance, it is doubly our duty to fulfil our func-
tions in order to replace it as fully as possible.
Believe me, all of you will feel gratified when the
legal assembly at a future day expresses its approval
of your efforts.' Circumstanees are still in the same
position now as then. The duty of fulfilling our
functions with redoubled zeal still rests upon me
and all the officials of the Duchy. With God's help
we will accomplish it."

The Austrian Emperor and Empress in
Hungary.

PESTI', Feb. 2.
Yesterday forenoon their Majesties gave audience
to the deputations from the Diet, from the city of
Pesth, and from Buda, bidding them welcome upon
their visit to Hungary. The deputation from the
Diet was introduced by the Tavernicus Baron
Sennyey, when the Prince Primate addressed the
Emperor as follows :
" Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty,—Your
Majesty's renewed visit to this faithful metropolis,
so inexpressibly gratifying to our country, affords
the most striking proof of that paternal and royal
favour your Majesty deigns to dedicate to the pros-
perity of our nation and our land.

" But your Majesty's present appearance is of a
doubly gratifying character. Your Majesty has
deigned to fulfil the ardent desire and request of the
nation by coming among us with our most gracious
Queen, and affording the sons of the country the
opportunity so eagerly desired of expressing their
sentiments of devoted veneration, faithful attach-
ment, and warm affection to her Majesty's person..
"Profoundly grateful for this mark of favour, the
assembled Diet has considered its agreeable but at
the same time indispensable duty required it to lay
at your Majesty's feet the assurance of its warmest
thanks, most devoted alleziance and homaze, and
the privilege of being the interpreters of these sen-
timents has been conferred upon us.
"May your Majesty deign to receive these assur-
ances with your accustomed paternal condescension,
and permit us at the same time to greet you with
the cry echoing unanimously throughout the coun-
try, of 'Long live the King !' "
His Majesty replied :

" It affords me pleasure again to meet the Estates
and representatives of the country, and that, taking
this opportunity of complying with your wishes, I
have been able to come amongyou withtheEmpress.
Regard this circumstance as a renewed proof of my
paternal affection, which finds its greatest satisfac-
tion in realising the attainable wishes of the coun-
try, and as a token of that hearty sympathy with
which I watch your highly important labours, and
hope for their successful result.

" Notwithstanding the many difficulties in the way
of a solution, a firm will and mutual confidence will
go far towards that solution being secured. If—as
I do not doubt—you are animated by the belief that
a firm determination, based upon the correct appre-
ciation of circumstances, is able to remove all im-
pediments—if the representatives of the country
reciprocate by their acts the confidence of their
Sovereign—you will then undoubtedly succeed in
soon drawing near to the object which must be
striven for with cordially united strength in the in-
dispensable interest of your country and of all my
people."
Accept yourselves, gentlemen, and convey to
those who sent you, my hearty greeting),
Turning next to the Empress, the Prince Primate
addressed her Majesty as follows

Boundless is the exultation and unspeakable
the gratitude of • entire Hungary, now that one of
our warmest and most heartfelt wishes is fulfilled
by your Majesty's visit. It has long been the ardent
hope and expectation of the faithful Hungarian
nation that the opportunity would be offered it of
testifying to your Majesty face to face its reverence,
its devoted veneration, its sincere affection and at-
tachment in the heart of the country. Your Majesty
has now graciously listened to the ardent wish and
heartfelt request of the sons of this country, has
fulfilled and realised their hopes.

" May your Majesty deign-to accept the warmest
thanks of the entire country for this gracious con-
descension, and to receive the greeting it is our
happy fortune to tender on behalf of the Diet. We
trust your Majesty will feel convinced that we
reckon the period of your stay amongst us to be the
happiest and proudest days of our lives, and beg you
to accept from the depths of our hearts the unani-
mous cry of ' Long live our most gracious Queen I"
Iler Majesty replied :

«A long-cherished wish of my heart is fulfilled
in my present visit to the metropolis of Hungary
with my illustrious husband, for I feel sincere at-
tachment and warm sympathy for this noble coun-
try, and come among you with great pleasure. It
is, therefore, extremely agreeable to me to receive
the hearty welcome of the Estates and representa-
tives of the land, and I reciprocate it with the ardent
hope that the Almighty may accompany your
labours, whose influence extends far beyond the
limits of the country, with His richest blessing." _
Addresses of a very similar character to that of
the Prince Primate were next read to her Majesty
o
stY_
by the chief mayors of Pesth and Buda, to each
which the Empress returned brief, and gracious
replies.
