OCTOBER 31.—The Second Chamber of the States-General
adopted yesterday evening all the paragraphs of the proposed
address in answer to the speech from the throne, after which
the whole was agreed to by a majority of 40 to 11.
The address is as follows:

" Sire,—The representatives of the nation feel themselves
happy at again seeirg your Majesty among them at the open-
ing of the session, and of learning from you that the situation
of the country in general bears a favourable appearance.
We wish that the continuance of the good understanding
between the Netherlands and foreign Powers may be a
guarantee that our rights will be respected. We expect from
it, at the same time, advantageaue results for our commerce,
our navigations, and our manufactures. We hope with you,
' Sire, that the visit which you have paid to the Queen of
Great Britain may have contributed to these results, as far
as our relations with that country are concerned. We are
happy to learn that the army asd navy continue to be dis-
tinguished by their good conduct and discipline.
" The development and augmentation of our naval force
appear to be desirable.
"At the same time that we appreciate with gratitude the
benefits of the tranquillity which our colonial possessions en-
oy, we learn with pleasure that the increased prices of co-
lonial produce have a favourable effect on the condition of
those possessions. We shall be glad to receive from your
Majesty further communications respecting the measures
which have lately been adopted, and those which it is in-
tended to adopt in the sequel for the international improve-
ment of our possessions, both in the East and West Indies.
We are convinced that order and the regular courses in the
administration of internal affairs are of great importance to
the country.
" It is highly important to watch with the greatest solici-
tude the maintenance of everything relative to the organisa-
tion and improvement of public institutions. Your Majesty
will always find us ready to second you in your efforts to
attain this important object if a change in the organisation of
public institutions should be found necessary.
" The welfare of the nation cannot fail to be promoted by
the enterprising spirit manifested in undertaking great works
for the draining, erecting dikes, &c.
"We appreciate your Majesty's care to improve useful re-
lations by means of channels of communication by land and
by water, and by the construction of railways without bur-
dening the State.
6' We gratefully acknowledge the protecting hand of
Divine Providence, which averted the extraordinary danger
that threatened our dikes and other works last winter.
" We attach the greatest value to the prosperity of the
several branches of manufactures. We rejoice that the re-
sults have of late been so generally favourable. We, how-
ever, consider as a calamity the bad crops of one of the most
important articles of food. May God grant that the measures
prescribed to alleviate the misfortune and to procure employ-
ment for the indigent, joined to the benovelence which ani-
mates the nation, may prove effectual.
" The restoration of our monetary affairs is a matter which
admits of no delay. We shall earnestly examine the legisla-
tive measures which your Majesty will lay before us on this
subject.
" We rejoice at the speedy success of the important mea-
sure for the reduction of the interest of our national dein.
Honour to the nation whose praiseworthy punctuality in ful-
filling its obligations has rendered a result profitable which
was generally desired.
" We consider with your Majesty the progressive improve-
ment in the public revenue as a fortunate fact when it is the
consequence of the increase of the public prosperity and of an
- equitable application of the law.
" We shill attentively examine the projects of law on the
definitive regulation of the expenditure of the current year,
and the means of meeting it. It will be a subject of great
satisfaction to find them a proof of the favourable state of the
public financaa. We believe that the regular administration
of the finance calls for legislative measures, respecting which
we expect with confidence the proposal of your Majesty.
" e believe that the interest of the country makes it a
duty to improve, in more than one respect, the Excise law.
" We perceive that the assignment of a pecuniary brim-
nity for the losses occasioned by inundation, ordered by the
military engineers, is desirable, though the subject is delicate
and difficult. •

" We shall pay the greatest attention to the examination
of this question, and the measures proposed to regulate it.
"We wish also during the present session to revise the
first book of the penal code, for which the simultaneous pro•
posal of the other parts of that code is necessary. We hope
that the important work for the revisal of the military code
is already so far advanced that we may shortly expect from
your Majesty a proposal on this subject. We take this op
portunity to call your Majesty's attention to the necessity,
proved by experience, of making some modifications in the
code of criminal instruction. We shall carefully examine
the project of law on charitable institutions, the game-laws,
and the communal guard.
"We expect also to receive a project of law on the duties
on importation, exportation, and transit.
"The project of law relative to the carrying into execu-
tion the sixth article of the fundamental law, the presenta-
tion of which your Majesty has announced to us, will be ex-
amined with the most scrupulous care.

"The sentiment expresied by your Majesty that the re-
visal of the fundamental law must be subordinate to the
conviction of its necessity, is entirely shown by the repre-
sentatives of the nation. We ardently desire that your
Majesty may continue to devote your attention to this im -
portant subject, which we again recommend to your serious
consideration. We concur in the wish expressed by your
Majesty that the legislative powers may rind, in the com-
mon agreement and in the confidence of the nation, the
measures and the support necessary for deciding. on the brat
means for develc.ping, under the blessing of the Almighty.
the progress of the prosperity of the Netherlands."—huteh
