the home administration, tl fsire age-
ments of Arts. 16 and 17 Aitt,Nds. were
merely calculated for the wants of that particular
period. Since the government of the early Kings,
the muncipal system, by long-continued exercise,
has struck deep root into the life of the nation. The
laws of 1848, by changing the shape of the admini-
stration, without bringing it into harmony with the
this venerable institution, created a contradiction
in principle, whose removal can only be effected by
the most exact examination and mature judo--
went. We expect therefore that the Diet will turn
its attention to this subject, and consider it as one
of its most pressing tasks to lay before us the result
of its labours.
" It is further matter of indispensable necessity
that Art. 22 of 1848, as to the National Guard, should
be suspended. This enactment has imposed tt need-
less burden cpon the people during the short period
of its existence, and diverted them from their peace-
ful occupation ; it has not fulfilled its object of up-
holding public security, but has rather led to results
of an opposite kind. It appears, moreover, desirable
that all those enactments of the laws of 1848 which
have not hitherto been put into operation by us
should be carefully re-examined. These laws, passed
under the pressure of events which at that time
shook the world, bear the stamp of undue haste
upon them, as is manifested not merely upon theo-
retic examination, but also by experience, as, for
instance, in the case of the electoral law, which has
been twice applied.
" From this necessarily follows that we cannot,
in the consciousness of our duty as a ruler; consent
to the actual restoration of those laws, as claimed
upon the ground of continuity of right, until they
have been carefully re-examined, adapted to the
demands of existing circumstances, and perfected
according to the teachings of experience. The-
desire of our paternal heart is not for momentary
satisfaction, but for the establishment of lasting
and opportune institutions. Our mission as
a Sovereign, together with our duties to-
wards all our subjects, forbid us—prior to
settlement of the future order of the various
branches of the public service—to lead existing order
into decay, to obstruct the wheels of the chariot of
State, to exchange our provisional condition with
another equally provisional, and thereby to unsettle
to remote distances the tranquillisation just com-
menced. The representatives of the country arc
equally sensible of the difficulties of this transition,
and declare themselves in its regard, in place of
insisting upon the demand of strict legality, ready
to take circumstances into reasonable consideration.
It depends upon them to reduce the difficulties op-

posing our paternal efforts to restore their Consti-

tution, if they are disposed to apply an increased
measure of reasonableness to judging present cir-
cumstances.

" None were more impressed than ourselves with
the weight of these difficulties and obstacles which
opposed themselves, and not in one direction only,
to the work of agreement we commenced. Never-
theless, hailed and accompanied by the confiding
and enthusiastic manifestations of the country, we

_ .
have with self-denial and firm resolution entered
upon a course in which we confidently hope to meet
with the ready support of the Diet, and whereupon,
as we shall share the honour of success with the
country, so the buriza of responsibility will affect
the country equally with ourselves.
" Among the former extraordinary circumstances
we see the only possibility of a practical application
of continuity of right in the fact that the alteration
of the laws has alone to be effected upon the basis
of an agreement with the Diet, the execution of
which assumes the co-operation of the legal elements
of the Hungarian Legislature—an agreement justi-
fied by the testimony of history, whose annals re-
peatedly teach that a similar procedure has been
adopted under like circumstances. This precedent
appears the more worthy of imitation the more vehe-
ment the convulsion whose lamentable consequences
it is the object of our common efforts to remove.
In this manner the agreement can be brought
about, difficulties can be smoothed way, and all
_ _

those relations can be settled which must be
arranged and regulated if we wish permanently to
close the sources of future complications.
" We also feel deeply the weight of the duties im-
pending upon us. We feel the political importance
of the royal unction, and the sanctity of the oath
with which the crowded King promises the inviolable
maintenance of the Constitution. But it is precisely
because we do not regard the coronation merely as
a solemn ceremony that we cannot consent to the
restoration of legal arrangements whose inviolable
maintenance our religious feeling and the voice of
our conscience forbid us to ratify with our oath.
We are convinced that the Diet will recognise in
these our religious feelings the surest guarantee for
the constitutional position of the country. When

that solemn act shall, as it is to be hoped, at once
put an end to the vacillations of political life, we
will also, without hesitation, follow the dictates of
our paternal heart, which is always inclined to let
mercy prevail, and we shall then be able to exercise
in full measure the noblest of our kingly rights
without endangering public order.

" With regard to the request for the completion of
the Diet which refers to Dalmatia, Fiume, and those
districts whose convocation is ordered by Art. 5 of
1848, we consider it advisable to reserve its detailed
treatment to the time when, in consequence of our
Royal Rescript to the Croatian and Sclavonian Diet
of the 27th nit., the results of the deliberations of
the Diet shall be laid before us, inasmuch as these
questions are intimately connected with the happy
solution of the pending political relations of Croatia
and Slayonia.
" We have receiveu with pleasure the assurance of
the Diet thatit will always take as its guide the prin-
ciples of justice and fairness with regard to all classes
of the population, without distinction of religion
and language, and that in especial with regard to
the non-Hungarian inhabitants of the country it is
minded to do everything in the way of legislation
that the universal welfare of the Fatherland and its
interests may require. While simultaneously up-
holding the territorial integrity of the country, we
shall reckon it among our most pleasing tasks to
further everything by which that result may be
achieved, whose realisation we, too, warmly desire,
for we hail the peaceful agreement of all the inha-
bitants of the country and the coincident concilia-
tion of all their interests with lively joy, and shall
always be prepared to advance these objects to the
utmost of our power.
" It now depends upon the energetic activity and
wise care of the Diet to hasten that period when such
propositions may be submitted
to u s as shall harmo-
nise our sovereign rights with the just requirements
of our realm and the reasonable claims of the adja-
cent countries. We shall reckon that moment to
be the happiest of our life when we can feel tran-
quillising consciousness that by our royal sanction
of those propositions we have promoted the true
welfare of Hungary and of all our peoples, and have
laid the foundation-stone upon which the increased
prosperity, the strength and security, as well as
the might of our monarchy, may be permanently
raised.

"We remain well inclined to all our faithful
lieges in royal grace and favour.
