that the budget is annually to be agreed
upon between my government and the
two Houses Of the Diet. Although my
government has nevertheless carried on
a budget for several years without the
legal basis, this has only been done after
conscientious examination, and with the
conviction, in accordance with the Diet,
that the conduct of the administration,
the fulfilment of legal obligations towards
the public creditors and officials, and the
maintenance of the army and State estab-
lishments, were questions vital to the
existence of the State; and that the
course adopted, therefore, became one of
those inevitable necessities which in in
terest for the country as the government
we must not hesitate to adopt. |
trust that the recent events will in so far
contribute to justify our having carried
on the administration without a law regu-
lating the budget, application for which
will be made to the representatives and
will readily be granted to my govern
ment, and the hitherto existing conflict
be herewith finally and the more secure
ly brought TO a conclusion.
As may be expected the political posi-
ton of the FatherIand will now admit Of
an extension Of the frontier of the State
and the establishment of a United Federal
army. This army will be under Prussian
leadership, and the costs will be borne
in equal proportions by all members of
the Confederation. The bills required in
this respect for the convocation of q po-
pular representative federal State will be
laid before the Diet without delay.
Gentlemen, you know we'll that the
entire FatherIand feels the high impor-
lance Of the movement which brings me
once more among you. May Providence
bless Prussia as graciousIy in the future
as lie has visibly blessed it in the inn
mediate past! May God grant it!

OPENING OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
The King in person opened the Prus-
sian Chambers yesterday (Monday, Au-
gust g.. The members rose on his entry
and cheered for him and his victories.
Count Stolberg was elected President
of the Upper House.
The following is the Kings speech in
full =
Illustrious, Noble and Loyal Gentlemen
of both Houses of the Diet
Now that [ see assembled around me
the representatives of the country, my
heart impeIs me to express first of all
from this place my OWL and my peoples
thanks for Gods gracious goodness,
which has assisted Prussia amidst the
heavy but successful sacrifices not only
in a~verting from our frontiers the dangers
of hostilities, but in enabling the armies
of the country by a rapid victory to add
fresh Iaurels to its inherited fame and
smooth the course for the national de,
velopment of Germany, accompanied by
the visible blessings of God.
The part Of the nation capable OF bear
ing arms enthusiastically obeyed the sum-
mons to the sacred struggle for the lnde-
pendence of the Fatherland. Our heroic
army, supported by a few faithful allies,
advanced from success to success, from
si~C"ry 20 VlUtV'y i" ho Not 40 in tho
West. Much precious blood has been
shed. The country mourns the loss of
many brave men who died heroes in the
flush of triumph until our standard waved
along a line extending from the Carpa-
THAN mountains to the Rhine.
1t will be for the Government and re-
representatives. of the people in united CO.
operation to bring to maturity the fruit
that must be gathered from this sangui-
nary seed to prevent its having been
scattered in vain.
Loyal gentlemen of both houses of the
Diet, my government. is able to look
with satisfaction upon the financial posi-
tion of the State. Careful foresight and
conscientious economy have placed us in
a position to overcome the great financial
difficulties which have resulted as a natu-
raj consequence from the circumstances
of the present time. Although material
outlay has been imposed upon the trea-
sury during recent years by the war with
Denmark, it has been found possible to
meet the expenses hitherto incurred in
the present war from the State revenue
and existing balances without imposing
any other burden upon the country than
that of furnishing the supplies in kind for
war purposes that it is bound to supply
by law. I hope and I'M assured that the
further means required for the success
ful termination of the war and the pay
ment for the supplies in kind, while main
tanning order and security in finance,
will be readily granted by you. No
agreement with the representatives could
be effected as to a settlement of the bud
get during the last few years. The State
outlay incurred during this period is
therefore destitute of that legal basis,
which / again acknowledge, and which
the budget alone can reach. The ninety
ninth article of the constitution ordains

In reply the King expressed his thanks,
and pointed out that Prussia had drawn
her sword, not only for her independence,
but for the reorganization of Germany.

Dear Sir,-I trust you will by no
means despise this little article and deny
it insertion in your "TSdende,' no matter
if it should not suit the tastes OF the
literary characters in our quarter.
I can assure you it was q source of
much happiness and joy to us here in
West End, to witness the departure of
our friend HANS HATCHETT, Esq, from
Jul slIvIcs vu tho evening Doth July, on
a visit to the mother country, for the
benefit of his health. [ feel convinced
that a higher opinion will be formed of
us after such an able specimen ola West
Indian as Mr.. II. has been known, and to
be SO we'll posted in matters and things
in general relative to this Island, as all
know he does. And in this instance do
not say too much when l say that he is
the %"leaven of our lump"
This gentleman from his qualifications,
has not only won a name OF some note In
the Island, but has already so dlstin-
guished himself for the short time he sat
as Hon'ble Member Of the Colonial
Council as to prove that there is in him
the germ for doing good for his fellow
man if his health is only restored.
The best wishes we can heap on him,
is to recommend him to the safe keeping
of the All-wise and All-sufficient whose
footsteps are on the deep, that he may
return safely to his dear little circle, and
to his beloved friends, and may he be
useful TO his fellow-citizens in that sphere
in which he has already moved with such
honour.
