Ho exchauged friendly greotings with tho Speaker, Herr von Forkeu- beck, and the Ministers Camphausen and Dele bruck, by whom ho was heartily welcomed. ‘Tho sojourn in Varzin, which lseted over five montha, seems to havo bonetived the Chancellor boyond all oxpectation, His whole appearance again displays his acenstomed vigor and elasticity, Provious to the Imperial Chancellor taking his seat, ou tho right side of the Speaker, exactly apposite tho House, be retired with President Delbruck into a corner, and held a Jong confex- once with him.
