PRUSSIA.

We have just received the text of the address
which the committee of the Chamber of Represen-
tatives of Prussia has presented for the adoptiolk of
that assembly. The presentation of an address in
reply to a speech from the throne is a fact of rare
occurrence in the Parliamentary annals of Prussia,
the only instances being the addresses at the ses-
sions of 1849 and 1858. The only demonstration
contained in the document is the omission of the
word German in the phrase relative to the duchies
under the Danish sceptre. That omission would
appear to lead to the belief that the Chamber in-
tends to claim for the duchy of Schleswick also the
free enjoyment of the rights, the restoration of
which is claimed by Holstein and Lauenburg. The
document is as follows :
" August Prince, ant very gracious Regent and Lord—
The Chamber of Representatives, united for the first time
by your Royal Highness, inaugurates its labours in reply-
ing, by the respectful expression of its gratitude and of its
devotedness, to the gracious words with which your Royal
Highness deigned to velcome the representatives of the
country. We unite cur prayers to those of your Royal
Highness to the Almighty that He will alleviate the of-
ferings d our well-bebved King, which his Majesty has
supported with a resknation and patience calculated to
make him a model sf Christian piety for his people.
Your Royal Highness, fully recognising the high im-
portance of our task, 'Frites us to second your Govern-
ment in the path whichyou have chosen, by reminding us
of the mission of Prussia, her glorious history and her
national traditions. Wishing s to conscientiously
serve the King and the country in fulfilling the noble func-
tions confided to us b: ,our constituents, we respond with
eagerness to that appea. The people comprehend that it is
in invariably following the path of right and law which

and of its power among he nations of the world. These rights
in all their plenitudeare for it, as well as for your Royal
Highness, sacred and Lyielahle, The Chamber of Represeu-

tatiyesheard with satisfaction the assurance that the general
situation of the country as regards agriculture, commerce and
manufactories,"as well as its judicial and financial adminis-
tration, is satisfactory. In reminding us of the tried strength
of the PrUssian army and of all the people formed to the
use of arms, the nation, which will never fear war when
the defence of the safety and honour of the country is at
stake, hopes with confidence that this situation will con-
tinue to improve under the 2Egis of peace. To augment
the prosperity and the power of the country is also to in-
crease the mainsprings of morality and patriotism, which
are the bases of all civil virtues. :We will devote all our
care to the discussion of the measures which may be sub-
mitted to bur examination. We congratulate ourselves with
your Royal Highness on the continuance of friendly re-
lations with foreign powers. We feel confident that your
Royal Highness's Government, in concert with the others
of Germany, will succeed in re-establishing the Duchies
subject to the' Danish sceptre in the full enjoyment of the
rights in which they have been too long frustrated, and
which ire.. fonnded on laws, federal decrees, and treaties.
It is with legitimate pride, most gracious Prince and Lord,
that we raise our eyes towards that flag which your Royal
Highness, on your accession to power, displayed to the ac-
clamations of the people. In following that standard,
Prussia, in the midst of a political system already in exist-
ence, has become great ; it is by, following it that, with the
aid and protection of God, she will remain great to the end
of her days."

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

According to a Paris letter in the Independanee
of Brussels, Count Walewski on the 14th addressed
a circular to all the Powers explaining the general
tegdenCies of French policy, but making very little
allusion to the Italian question. The circular is
represented to be of a very pacific character.
-At the review held by Prince Napoleon at Turin,
as already stated by telegraph, of all the survivors
of the Grande Armee decorated with the medal of
St. Helena, his Imperial Highness addressed them
in French in the following words :
" I thank you for the eagerness which you have shown
in assembling here to meet me. lam deeply affected by it.
Noble and glorious remains of our army you are an addi-
tional bond between France and Piedmont, which, as well
as our dynasties, are and will be allied in future. I shall
inform the Emperor of your ardour, and I thank you in his
name. rive l'Enzpereur ! Vice le Rol, Victor Emmanuel !"
