HAGUE, OCTOBER 28.
The Address drawn up by the Second Chamber.
and approved by the First, in answer to his Majesty's
Speech on opening the States-General, is as follows:
• Sint:—lt is at the font of your throne that we
13y the expression of our respectful gratitude, for the
first communications which your Majesty has deigned
to make to us, at the solemn opening of the present

ordinary sc,sion.
Y,,ur Majesty has given us a prospect of peace,
repose, and increasing prosperity, which' will render
the public burthens supportable. the exertion of all the
efforts which you have a right to ez;ect from the'na-
tion, possible. Your Majesty has not concealed from
us, that this future prosperity must be purchased by
momentary sacrifices ; that the independence of our
country is asserted, and fortified by extraordinary
sacrifices; and that for this reason the national trea-
sury requires an extraordinarT6addition.
" But this independence is net purchased at too
high a price ; and we may therefore expect that all
'lw measures proper to repair the evils we have suf-
fered, will be accepted willingly, the national ho.
nour being maintained, and our future security gua-
ranteed. All the burdens cannot but be voluntarily
supported, since your Majesty's wise foresight has
established the proportional repartition of it over all
classes, and a certain number of years. We expect,
therefore, with confidence, the demands of inevitable
sacrifices, and the proposals for the wants of the en.
suing year, as well as the means necessary to cover
them, when all the parts of the kingdom shall
concur in supporting the edifice of the State in
common. We consider also the general introduction
of the laws concerning the militia, appropriated to
circumstances, as a pledge of our security.
" Our young men, by bravely s'..edding their blood,
have already fixed the seals of approbation to this
great and wholesome institution. The relations with
other Powers, with our high Allies, are fixed by your
Majesty in such a manner as to open the ancient,
channels of our commerce and national industry, et
to form new ones ; and when the peace of Europe,
which your Majesty holds up to us as near at hand,'

shall be assured, we shall soon feel the salutary effeett
of that repose which is ri necessary to our happiims,
and which will allow us to employ our whole atten-
tion to puhlic education, to 0:4; art l, to the sciences,
and all useful and advantagemis establishments.

" It will be our most ardent ilesire to co-operate
in the high and noble 'designs of your Majesty, and
our object to have at heart the interests of the nation..
Your Majesty shall always find us ready, with the
aid of the MOST Hiatt, to weigh seriously,' without
partiality, and with concord, the importaat interests
for which we are convoked."
