DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN.
The committee appointed to examine the Danish
proposals respecting the budget had presented its
report in the Estates. This report states that no
| budget had in reality been submitted to the Es-
tates by the government. The Estates have, there.
| fore no opportunity of examining the budget. In
stead OF the right of voting the budget the right of
giving an opinion only upon the budget has been
accorded to the Estates in the present session.
There Is no prospect of any result being obtained
by ssuch an expression of opinion. The Estates
could not on account of this vaueless concession
renounce the claims of the Federal Diet, and can
not therefore enter into discussion of any commu-
nicatlon respecting the budget.
