 BERLIN, June 25.-The Reichstag was opened with unusual pomp to-day. The cere- monial was the more impressive and striking as the character of speech from the throne had been anticipated from the address of Prince Bismarck in Baudenrath last week, and from the gen orally accurate forecasts in the news paper press. In preparation for the event the Emperor and Empress and the entire Court had entered the city and occupied the Royal Palace.
 Their imperial majesties, the members of the royal family, the chief dignitaries of the state and court, attended divine service in the private chapel. When service was con. cluded procession was formed. It was headed by the great officers of the court. Then followed generals bearing the imperial and royal insignia, which had served duty in two recent funerals. Gen. Blumenthal carried the standard; Count von Stolberg- -Werriger- ode the crown; Gen. Strehb the sceptre; Gen. Struberg the orb, and Gen. Huelleson the sword of justice.
 All these in magnificent apparel marched slowly to the famous White Hall in the Ate Schloss, where the late Emperor William was wont to receive the ReichStag when he open ed or closed its sessions. There they found the hall already filled with the officers and members of the Reichstag. These gorgeous personages having entered and taken the places appointed around the dais, the doors were again thrown open, and the young Em- peror, followed by a group of sovereigns and princes in their robes of stats, entered. The Emperor proceeded to his place before the throne, which over it's canopy had been su- perbly decorated with eagles and crowns for the occasion. The other royalties then ar. ranged themselves around the throne in the order prescribed for them by the masters of ceremonies. The Empress took her seat on the dais before the Emperor, and as the Elm. peror took his position on the throne three cheers were called for and given with great fervor by the distinguished assemblage. The Chancellor then handed the Emperor the manuscript of the speech and he pro- ceeded to read it in a high, clear and firm voice. The Emperor dwet throughout the speech on his wish for peace, and declared in most unmistakable terms the pacific feeling of Germany toward all Nations. Her sole policy | was to ward off attack-a policy purely of de- fense, not of vain milatary glory. The Em- pire will stand by and maintain the alliance l with Austro-Hungary, regarding that com- pact as the basis of European equilibrium and the importance of German History. l Similar principles and needs unite the Em- pire with Italy.
 The arrangements and relations with these Powers are such that they will in no way prevent the maintenance of those pacific re- lations with Russia, which have existed for a 1 century, in consonance with the interests o1 l Germany and with the feelings of her En- l vbo y-in ha fro fo oora f11I Vyafe the personal friendship of the Car. l The speech was received with renewed cheers at it's conclusion. l The Emperor and Empress then passed | from the hall followed by the royalties and l officials, and the members of the Reichstae I withdrew to their own palace. -4 l VIENNA, June 26.-The Austrian men art delighted with the emphatic endorsement o 1 tho alliance made by the Emporer William in his speech to-day.
