GERMAN AFFAIRS.
Berlin, March 20,
The Emperor Frederick’s messages to the Landtag and Reichstag, in which he solemnly promises to adhere to the Constitution, and said he would follow his father’s example and foster the welfare of the people, safeguard the honor of the Empire, and maintain peace, were received with applause. Prince Bismarck, on moving that the thanks of the Reichstag be given to the friendly Powers at their expression of sympathy on the occasion of Kaiser Wilhelm’s death, referred in a marked manner to the touching signs of sorrow displayed at the antipodes, which he declared was unprecedented in the annals of history. The people of the antipodes, he continued, desired to lay wreaths and palms on their monarch’s tomb.
The Emperor Frederick proclaims that he is determined to preserve Alsace and Lorraine, and to cultivate German ideas and opinions there. The Reichstag has assured the Emperor of its unswerving fidelity.

The other medical men intended to excise the larynx, and thus render the Prince ineligible to assume the monarchy. March 22.
The Prince of Wales, from the surroundings, is convinced that the Emperor Frederick’s malady must prove fatal. The Queen has received B iron Voulve, special envoy of the Emperor Frederick.
