ADDRESS OF THE QUEEN-EMPRESS​

HER MAJESTY ADDRESSES THE HOUSE OF LORDS ON THIS HISTORIC MOMENT

The Dulwich Treaty of Peace was on Thursday concluded and SIGNED in the imperial metropolis. At six o’clock in the evening the cannons of the capital city announced the event by a salvo of one-hundred-one guns.

The House of Lords was opened to-day by her Majesty the Queen-Empress, in person. The doors of the House of Lords were thrown open to those who had the privilege of admission into the grand hall of Lords, shortly after nine o’clock in the morning, and from that period up to the entrance of her Majesty there was one continual succession of arrivals. The greater proportion of the arrivals consisted of the Ladies of the Realm attired in the most varied and perfect ensemble of diamonds, pearls and fine cloth, while the chambers, galleries, and corridors through which her Majesty passed on her way to the throne were equally crowded with the lower rungs of the aristocracy. The benches belonging to the Bishops of the Realms were rightly appropriated to the diplomatic corps, save for the Archbishop of Southwark and the Archbishop of Hampstead, and the woolsacks on the floor to the judges, many of whom were in attendance. The foreign ambassadors appeared in their official uniforms, and their presence served to increase the splendour of the spectacle which the interior of the chamber presented on the arrival of her Majesty. Perhaps the foreign minister who attracted the most attention was the representative of the Court of the Principality of Altai, demonstrating the extraordinary strides made in improving Engello-Altai relations. Nothing could more clearly indicate the deep interest that was felt in the Address of the Queen-Empress than the crowded aspect of the portion of the house reserved for the Peers of the Realm. For some decades now it has been a rare occurrence to see more than half the peers present within the House of Lords at any given time, but to-day the attendance was so large that some of their Lordships had a difficulty in securing seats. In fact there was a complete throng of Lords, amongst whom was the presence of all the dukes and earls of Engellex, Walssex-Battent, Wantage, Hessex and Went. The royal procession, which left Battent Palace shortly before eleven o’clock, exhibited no variation from when the Sovereign would ceremonially open parliament, but this wasn’t an opening, rather, an important address by the Queen-Empress. There was the usual display of footmen in imperial liveries, Yeomen of the Guard, and well-mounted dragoons; while the venerable state carriage was drawn as of old, by sixteen magnificent white coloured horses, and followed by several other royal carriages containing the Engelleaux-at-Arms and Marshal of the Corps of the Lords-at-Arms (Duke of Rothermere), Lord Steward of the Household, Lord Keeper of the Privy Purse, and Master of the Hounds. In the state coach with her Majesty were the Master of the Coach, and the Mistress of the Robes. The customary arrangements of a state opening of parliament were applied to this occasion by the constabulary, who had constables stationed along the entire route. The band of the Royal Blues was in attendance in the forecourt of Battent Palace; that of the Rothesay Guards at the entrance to the Imperial Parliament. The royal escort consisted of regiment march from the First Engellexic Division of the First Great Engellexic Army. The parks and streets of central Dulwich were very much thronged and at most points her Majesty was greeted with the energetic enthusiasm of a proud and grateful nation. Her Majesty having arrived, ascended the throne and read the passages of her Address with a firm and majestic accent. My Lords, Gentlemen and the Ladies, Since my last Address to the House of Lords the Plenipotentiaries of the Dulwich Conferences have achieved a definitive and historic success from their efforts. The Kingdom of Montelimar, the greatest stronghold of the European Defence Federation in Preuti-Borussia, has yielded to the perservering constancy and to the daring bravery of the Great Armies of Great Engellex; and from this victory of arms did we also celebrate the victory of diplomatic means from the signature of the Treaty of Dulwich that took place at Nonsuch House between the Plenipotentiaries of Great Engellex and Montel States. Even with this historic moment the naval and military preparations for the ensuing year have necessarily occupied my serious attention indeed; but while determined to omit no effort which could give vigour to the operations of the Great Continental War, I have deemed it my duty not to decline any overtures which might reasonably afford a prospect of a sincere and honourable peace between my Realms and the Courts of the Federation. Accordingly, his Grace the Duke of Fontaine-Harcourt offered to myself, yesterday evening, to employ his good offices as the Successor to the throne of Montelimar with the Federation, with a view to endeavour to bring about an amicable adjustment of the matters at issue between my Court and the Courts of the Federation, I consented, with the advice and endorsement of the Council of State, to accept the offer made. Negotiations for such a treaty shall, with hope, be shortly resumed at Christiansborg. In conducting those negotiations with the Federation I shall be careful not to lose sight of the objects for which the war was under taken; and I shall deem it right in no degree to relax my naval and military preparations until a satisfactory treaty of peace shall have been concluded, ending all hostilities. Although the war in which I am engaged to principally address on was brought on by events in the South of Preuti-Borussia, my attention has not been withdrawn from the state of things in Saamiskavia, and, in conjunction with the President of the Republic of Frescania and the Queen of the Kingdom of Gotarike, I have concluded an agreement containing defensive arrangements applicable to the War of Bantyr, and tending to the restoration of security and prosperity in that port of Europe. Similarly I have concluded a treaty of friendship, commerce, and security with the Republic of Jurzan. The stipulations that regard the importation and exportation of petroleum, agricultural produce, and military machinery between my Realm and Jurzan shall be laid before the Imperial Parliament next week. GREAT ENGELLEX AND JURZAN​ A treaty whereby her Majesty the Queen-Empress of Great Engellex GUARANTEES the integrity and independence of the City Port of Abasha was agreed and signed between the Governments of Engellex and Jurzan on Friday. His Grace the Duke of Nonsuch, in a preliminary report to the Imperial Parliament, points out that the chief aims which the Imperial Cabinet in framing the treaty has sought to attain. The guarantee extended to Abasha is a special and unique agreement between Engellex and Jurzan, having its cause found in the necessity of both countries requiring that the city port remain uncompromised by events that may occur in the near future in Northern Himyar. It follows the announcement from the Queen-Empress that a treaty was formed between the two countries on the matter of trade of specific manufactures and resources. Her Majesty informed the House of Lords that the text of the agreement shall be laid before them next week, it is believed that when it is the public galleries will be closed. The First Lord of the Admiralty confirmed that the Royal Engellexic Navy was making preparations for the deployment of anti-mining and auxiliary vessels to Abasha, and did not confirm whether, now or in the future, they would be accompanied by warships.

TROOPING OF THE COLOUR​

HER MAJESTY INSPECTS THE TROOPING ON HORSEBACK

The Trooping of the Colour took place in Dulwich with a mizzle of rain to honour and respect the Sovereign's birthday on Sunday. The King of Wissemandie and the Duc de Fontaine-Harcourt were in attendance; the Grand Duke of Wantage was not.

There are no tickets that are more eagerly sought for, and of which a higher percentage is actually used, than are those for the admission of spectators to the St. Georgiana Guards Parade to witness that quaintest and, when its full and original meaning is understood, most edifying of military ceremonies, the Trooping of the Colour, by the Household Guards, on the occasion of the celebration of the Sovereign’s birthday. The Lord’s Day, the Sunday of the 17th, was no exception to the rule. Light rain fell with difference for several hours before the ceremony took place. The drizzle parted with central Dulwich for a while, and the rain held off just sufficiently long for the guards to get through with the ceremony in dry times. Unfortunately that was not to last. Her Majesty the Queen-Empress, the Royal Colonels, and the Imperial General Staff, had scarcely entered the Mall of St. James (before Battent Palace) before the rain again set forth, though, light and with little harm to the sunshine that charmed the imperial metropolis of the Engellexic Empire. The spectators began to assemble at an early hour. By seven o’clock the constabulary estimated seven hundred people had passed within the inner line of sentries at the St. Georgiana Guards Parade entrance, and beyond the troops keeping the space on the opposite side of the parade the throng was so dense that it was only with the greatest difficulty the constables could keep a passage open for traffic. The stands of the Admiralty and that reserved for members and peers of Parliament and their friends on the occasion of the inspection were again occupied, as also were all the windows of ministry offices which gave view of the parade grounds. The duty of commanding the troops taking part in the ceremony devolved upon the Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, who remains Colonel Archibald Horace Ettrick-Napier, commanding the Rothesay Guards. Under this officer’s direction, and with the assistance of Major the Hon. Rowland Primrose, of the Royal Blues, who was badly wounded at social disturbances within the industrial metropolis of Sutherland, and is now happily making a good recovery, the ground sentries were rapidly posted, the troops being furnished by each of the three senior regiments of the Brigade of Guards and the Imperial Guards Reserve Regiment. Those spectators who arrived early witnessed the arrival of the various regimental contingents who later took part in the ceremony of the Troop. From the Grenadier Regiment came three companies for the line, and the Queen-Empress’s Company for the Colour. The Rothesay sent five companies and the Golsoncotts seven, thus forming, exclusive of the Escorting Company, a battalion of twelve companies. Of cavalry there was a mounted band, the muscians dressed in their splendid State uniforms, and one troop of Walssex-Battent Guards of the 1st and 2nd Regiments, and a similar unit of Grand Ducal Cavalrymen. The cavalry and massed bands of Foot Guards were on the right of the line turned inwards, and on the left of the line six companies were turned inwards. This formation, which is practically three sides of a square, adds very considerably to the effectiveness of the scene, although it is not adopted for that reason, but rather as a means of effecting an economy of ground space! The windows of the Admiralty Board at St. Georgiana Guards as usual were reserved for ambassadors, dignitaries and European Crowns. The first to arrive was the King of Wissemandie, who appeared at the middle window with Major Marmaduke, the Brigade-Major, where his figure was conspicuous, pending the arrival of the Duc de Fontaine-Harcourt. The parade was fully formed by ten o’clock, and it was just half past the hour when the Duchess of Middlesex, who had with her her three daughters, arrived. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and their children came almost immediately afterwards, and simultaneously the Marquis and Marchioness of Grafton, and the heir to the March, the Earl of Euston, drove up. At that moment the sun burst forth for a few moments, revealing a scene of astounding beauty and interest that most of Preuti-Borussia had unfortunately lost with age and self-proclaimed progress. As they stood rigid as statues against the background of beautiful green foliage in central Dulwich, the troops resembled a gigantic dado of imperial splendour. From the leafy distance of the Mall of St. James came faint echoes of cheers, which gradually reached those assembled on the parade in greater and greater volume and density. Then through the bright verdure fluttering navy and scarlet patches of national patriotism could be discerned. Commander-in-Chief the Queen-Empress and the Royal Colonels, the Imperial General Staff, a group of established European Military Attaches, and Major-General Dereck Trotter, and the Staff of the Home Counties were approaching. As the cavalcade came in sight, one familiar figure was missing, a figure that had not been absent on a similar occasion for more years than many people can remember, the Grand Duke of Wantage. Many were the inquiries as to the cause of his Royal Highness’s absence. Does it suggest that the Grand Duke was taken with an illness to discourage him from mounting a charger? That was the most favoured explanation. The procession was led by Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew J. Smith-Byrd, of the Quartermaster-General’s Department. First came the personal staff of the Commander-in-Chief, her Majesty’s Aides-de-Camp, Colonel Matthew S. Thomson, Major the Hon. William Locke, and Major the Hon. Thomas Frederick van der Alphen. Then the Equerries to the Sovereign – Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Blair Stewart-Wilson, and Wing Commander Sepala Godfrey-Faussett, and a onyx-clad officer of Zadar-Istrian Admiralty Office, Colonel Kemal Pamuk. Prince Alexander of Went came next with the Viscount of Hessex. The Queen-Empress was received with a Royal salute, and then came the inspection of the line, followed by the ceremony of the Troop, which was carried out with faultless precision, and with all the old-fashioned stateliness , in slow time. The colour that was Trooped was that of the Horse Grenadiers, which was wreathed with laurels in recognition of the fact that during the War of Preuti-Borussia, the Horse Grenadiers shared in the victory of Lille. The music played during the ceremony was rendered by the massed bands of the Foot Guards – a combination of nearly five hundred musicians – under the direction of Sir George T. Beauchamp, of the Rothesay Guards, who is now senior bandmaster of the brigade. The Queen-Empress was in the uniform of the Field Marshall of the First Engellexic Army, as Commander-in-Chief and Queen of Engellex. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Queen-Empress, the Royal Colonels, and the staffs returned to Battent palace, and before the parade was dismissed the Royal carriages and their distinguished occupants drove across the ground. Despite the rain which was then falling, albeit lightly, the King of Wissemandie and the Duc de Fontaine-Harcourt stood uncovered in their carriages in salutation to the troops and the crowds, by whom they were heartily cheered.

BOLIATURAN AGGRESSION​

GREAT ENGELLEX DECLARES WAR ON BOLIATUR

A Great Assembly of Concerned Crown Subjects came together in Support of the re-introduction of a constitutional provision for Public Subscriptions to Assist the Armed Forces.

A Great Meeting, called by local Pitt and Whig Members of the Commons Assembly, had taken place on Friday in the Grand Winter Gardens Palace in Hammersmith, to consider the propriety of addressing the Throne and the House of Lords on the subject a reviving the scheme of public subscription for the purpose of facilitating the formation of news regiments and the construction of new warships to be deployed against the tyranny of the Boliaturan regime. The meeting commanded national attention owed to the great number of people hoping to participate but – due to the lack of capacity – many large congregations formed before and around the building with stewards ushering in the use of technological systems of sound and motion for their benefit. Sir Thomas Bessingstoke, a Pitt Member of the Assembly for the constituency of Wett North, took the chair, and addressed :- The Armed Services are the strongest support her Majesty can have; but that the Armed Forces may be enabled effectively to support her Majesty, it must, in a reasonable way, it must be permitted for the Crown Subjects of the Empire to demonstrate their patriotism, and in order that this may be possible, the Armed Forces must recognise public subscription legally. We want a number of new regiments formed to the cause of Defending the Crown. We want more ships of war to Defend the Crown. We want the Royal Constabularies expanded to better Defend the Crown. In short, we want the expansion of the Armed Forces on an adequate scale to meet the threat of Republicanism from Boliatur, and we, the loyal Crown Subjects, want to support it directly. The navy had not the strength enough left in her to throw off the extremism so far from her shores in Boliatur; then, and it is so, the condition of the navy was all but desperate. Surely it is absolutely necessary now in this time of extreme peril and danger, when without are fightings and within are fears, that the Crown Subjects should come together as a Nation, an Empire, in a solemn deliberative union, to take measures to meet this crisis. How can we successfully support the efforts of our navy unless we be permitted to? How can it recover health and elasticity, whilst the action of the shipbuilding heart is so dulled? The chair, Sir Thomas Bessingstoke, gave way to Sir Benjamin Kirk, a Whig for Hammersmith Docklands and West, who supported the motion and said :- in addressing myself to the resolution which I have the honour to support, and the subject of my support naturally divides itself into four parts. The first, was that the Royal Engellexic Navy is crippled in its condition and mode of action. The second was, that to such a crippled state was owing in great measure to the diverse task set before the limited capabilities of the fleets. The third was, that its crippled state was a direct consequence of the repression of the Empire’s right to directly support it; and the fourth was, that, therefore, the re-introduction of public subscription was the best mode of defeating Boliaturan and Republican Aggression. Sixteen more esteemed persons at the meeting addressed with great and concerning speeches on the need for the resolution to pass and enter the chambers of the Imperial Parliament. At three o’clock in the afternoon the resolution was then put to the meeting, and was carried by an overwhelming majority of cheers. Opinion in official circles at Aldwych d’Evercy House are greatly irritated against Monterrey, to whose conduct the sudden aggression by Boliatur is attributed. Yesterday evening the document announcing the rupture of relations was sent by the Second Lord of Aldwych d’Evercy to the Engellexic Minister in Escalera al Cielo to be remitted to the Monterrey Governance. The Minister of Monterrey in Dulwich has received orders to hold himself in readiness to leave at a moments notice. The Duke of Nonsuch has prepared a new dispatch which will be soon sent to the Powers of Europe, declaring that Great Engellex will refuse all concession to Boliatur, and claiming that all the expenses of war shall be paid by that country, should they occur. Great Engellex is pushing forward every kind of preparation for war. Orders have been given that the recruiting offices of the Royal Engellexic Air Force increase efforts three-fold to meets the needs of increased productions of new attack aircraft, it was revealed in a circular sent around the country, and it is believed to be in anticipation of an Act of Parliament for the expansion of the air force. The Imperial General Staff have been engaged in the re-organisation of the security efforts of the Engellexic Army, with various units, deployed in urgent need, to be slowly withdrawn and replaced where deemed appropriate. It has been suggested in the Imperial Parliament, that due to the circumstance of the declarations of war, all Boliaturans should have to report to their nearest Constabulary Station to be detained.

DULWICH, SUNDAY, 15th JULY 2012

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the President, Ministers and Commoners of the Republic of Frescania.

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.​

TO THE PRESIDENT, MINISTERS AND COMMONERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRESCANIA​

​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

Great Engellex, in my last communication, although well knowing of the views of the Governance in Monterrey, still declared that it saw no reason why a conciliatory spirit may not enable itself and Monterrey to overcome all obstacles to a satisfactory adjustment of the subject raised by the Foreign Minister of Monterrey.

Her Majesty’s Cabinet recognised the obligations of the Empire to the encouragement of strong diplomatic relations with Monterrey, and had, of course, desired to the allegations raised by Monterrey overcome and our diplomatic relationship returned to a positive character; however, the Governance in Monterrey has not executed an appropriate apology, or any reconciliatory act, in respect of the affront against her Majesty and the Engellexic people by the quite unfounded accusations. The Empire of Great Engellex steadily denies such claims, and will welcome an apology or evidence to validate the claims by Monterrey.

The claims and conduct of Monterrey, being contrary to established diplomatic etiquette and declarations of good will as determined by the exchange of diplomatic ministers, and the manifest tenor of the statement by the Foreign Minister, as understood by her Majesty’s Cabinet, have been found encouraging to the intolerable republican sentiments adopted by the regime in Boliatur. The Second Lord of Aldwych d’Evercy had communicated instructions to the Minister of Monterrey in Dulwich to ensure a pause in direct Dulwich-Escalera al Cielo relations would not be unexpected with due to the republican developments, that many in the Imperial Parliament have attributed to the conduct of the Foreign Minister of Monterrey.

Should it be argued, by the Foreign Ministry of Frescania, that Monterrey is in actual reality an internal affair of the Frescanian Republic, then it should be determined how sincere and legal the agreements and conversations with the Foreign Minister of Monterrey actually are; and whether it is reasonable to maintain an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary in Escalera al Cielo and Fortaleza Real.​

BOLIATURAN WAR​

FIRST LORD APOLOGY TO VESPER

The First Lord of Aldwych d'Evercy declared to the House of Lords that he released an apology to the Chancellery for not informing it prior to the declaration of war. The Commons Assembly also debated the diplomatic affair and voted on the motion to support the Cantignian sanctions, put forward by the First Lord.

Within the Commons Assembly the Shadow Minister of Aldwych d’Evercy rose to call the attention of the chamber to the relations of Great Engellex with Cantignia, and to move for the production of all correspondence with the Cabinets at Dulwich and Vesper relative to the conduct of the First Lord of Aldwych d’Evercy concerning Boliatur and republican terrorism in Europe. It had been stated by the First Lord of Aldwych d’Evercy, the Duke of Nonsuch, that the reason why Aldwych d’Evercy House did not inform the Chancellery of Cantignia of Engellexic concerns with the Boliaturan regime and intention of her Majesty the Queen-Empress to sign a declaration of war against the Touyouan state was, that, as the regional situation – largely between Cantignia and the Eastern States – was precarious, it would not have been to the benefit of the Chancellery to have been informed earlier in the event of strong opposition from Vesper; and the Shadow Minister appealed to the Commons whether, in that state of things, the Cabinet was merely trying to cover its back and ought to have given prominence to the Chancellery on this very important subject. It would appear to myself that the noble Lord had laid before the public and the House of Lords an incorrect statement of affairs, so that in fact they did not know what had occurred. He has brought forward his present motion in support of Cantignian sanctions because he thought he had it in his power to dissipate their ignorance on the question of this diplomatic affair, and to make them acquainted with only a slight error of judgement from Aldwych d’Evercy House. The noble Lord was correct, however, to address the House of Lords on the matter of the Cabinet to rectify its error, as men of honour and high public office. The Duke of Nonsuch stated to the House of Lords earlier that he had communicated an apology to the Chancellor Veronica North for the lack of exchange between Dulwich and Vesper on the Boliaturan situation. With an apology to the Chancellery in Vesper stated to have been given, it has yet to be supposed whether Chancellor Veronica North has accepted it. The Minister for Aldwych d’Evercy in the Commons assured the chamber that it will only be a short time before all the papers would be laid on the tables of the Lords and Commons, in due to the state of war; and then Parliament and the people would be enabled to judge. He claimed he could not follow the honourable member through all the details of his opposition. All he could state was that it was the desire and instruction of her Majesty’s Cabinet from the outset that nothing should be done that could cause instability for Cantignia’s position in the region, and thus opposition from Vesper. The Shadow Minister also referred to an editorial in a Cantignian publication that asserted the Chancellery should proceed to consider the permanency of relations with Engellex – the Great Disconnect – with the noted absence of prior communication seen as a serious affront. He asked the Minister whether it was now very difficult for the First Lord, holding the situation he did, to deal with relations with the Chancellery. The Minister responded to the questions with a statement that he believed little had been undermined between Dulwich and Vesper. The Commons Assembly voted with a majority of two-hundred-thirty-one to support the Cabinet in adopting the Cantignian sanctions against Boliatur. CHOLERA IN CHATHAM​ The first case of cholera occurred in Chatham, on the Bimbeck Islands, on Saturday. Dr. Seth Hazlett, a physician in the service of the local constabulary, died a few hours after returning from a situation in the tenants area of the west docks, of an authenticated attack of cholera. He was taken ill at the constabulary’s station, and at once went to the house in the neighbouring district where he resides. The doctors who were called in recognised the symptoms of cholera, and had the patient transported to the hospital close by, where a special ward had been established in case the epidemic should seek to leave Chatham. Dr. Hazlett expired shortly after his arrival there, and a post-mortem examination clearly established that he succumbed to cholera. He is said to have suffered from chronic weakness of the stomach. The house was disinfected from cellar to roof as soon as the patient had been removed, and living room in which he occupied was closed by order of the authorities, the furniture burnt. Similar precautions were taken at the station of the constabulary. A professor from Hammersmith, a great physician from the industrial metropolis, had expressed the opinion to a representative of the Dulwich Evening Dispatch that cholera epidemic is not to be apprehended in Hammersmith from Chatham, the present sanitary conditions on Engellexic merchant ships being eminently satisfactory. He does not believe that the possibility from Chatham, where there are at present five deaths a week from cholera in nearby boroughs, will bring the dreaded malady to Hammersmith. During this summer there have been no cases of affections of the stomach in Hammersmith hospitals that might have led to cholera, or reported outbreaks within the Engellexic merchant fleet.

VESPER, SUNDAY, 15th JULY 2012
​

THE Grand Covenant has had its satisfaction on the issue, and the Lady Chancellor is content with the public explanations provided to her. Our vision is always directed towards the future, so it is our natural desire that this event, which made a fool of Vesper, is not taken as the precedent for all Can-Engellexic relations. Let it also be known that our Chancellor, Madame Veronica North, is a woman of profound and model character; the North Chancellery is fully capable of considering the greater Engellexic scheme of things, which spreads from Dulwich to Vesper, and many posts in-between.

Madame North is not Lord Ilchester, and National Democratic values do not guide the Covenant and its position within the Establishment. If consulted on an international, or even regional issue, this Covenant between Queen and Chancellor habitually views the opinions of Dulwich as valid and relevant to the ambitions of Vesper. This same level of reverence is clearly not reciprocated, though as Cantigians we should not be entirely surprised. Age, size, and glory make Dulwich the premier power within this relationship - and Veronica North as Chancellor of the friendly confines does not dare to presume our dear Vesper is of the same caliber or class as our beloved Motherland.

Monterrey's foreign ministry is designed to promote the territory's cultural and economic ties with other nations. We are in the process of making the autonomous government understand that such rhetoric could cause trouble for Frescanian foreign policy. Due to the Republic's responsibility over the Commonwealth's foreign relations and defense, we send our apologies for such behavior.

However, we deny that Escalera al Cielo's rhetoric aided the outrageous action by Boliatur. Monterrey's republican system is closely tied to the Republic's, which respects the rule of law in all countries.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT​

STATEMENT AND SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET

The Earl Grey delivered a financial statement and supplementary budget to the House of Lords; it outlined war estimates, a stimulus strategy, and the implementation of a naval development and procurement program.

The First Lord of the Commissioners of the Treasury, the Earl Grey, rose in the House of Lords to-day for the purpose of making a financial statement to the Imperial Parliament. In laying a series of resolutions before the Commissioners of the Treasury, Earl Grey observed that it was the ordinary practice, in years when hostile relations existed between the Cabinet of her Majesty and those of other states, for the First Lord for the time being to submit to the House of Lords more than one financial statement, comprising the revenue, expenditure, and estimates of war of the past and ensuing years. Earl Grey stated his gratitude that it was within his power and responsibility to follow such a practice for the present occasion. The circumstances, however, in which the country was now placed compelled him to take his course, and make a statement. The statement, which I am about to lay before the House will be confined to the finances of the present year, and would not trench upon the revenue of the past year, though it would have been desirable upon an ordinary and peaceful occasion to have only one financial statement for the year, and yet, considering the great efforts which the country has been called upon to make, and the heavy expenditures which those efforts, had entailed, it would no doubt be satisfactory to the House to hear at this present period of the session the state of the revenue and expenditure of the country. The House would recollect that, in submitting the budget for last year, I estimated the revenue together with an issue of income tax for the year, at two-hundred-forty billion. In addition, fifty-two billion Exchequer Bills were issued, making the total estimated revenue two-hundred-ninety-two billion. The expenditure was estimated at two-hundred-eighty-two billion; and had the war estimates not been greater than the estimate then made, a surplus of ten billion would have been left in hand. In January last, it became necessary to make a supplementary estimate. The war estimates had been made at one-hundred-ten billion; but in the course of January estimates, with the calculation being scrutinised in Parliament, I was compelled to acknowledge an additional five billion, and the war estimate before the Parliament was consequently increased to one-hundred-fifteen billion by early February. In February, the House assented to an additional grant of Exchequer Bills amounting to sixty-five billion, making a total estimated expenditure of three-hundred-fifty-seven billion. He then endeavoured to show the House what had been the expenditure incurred by the country in prosecuting the war, by showing what amount of expenditure had been incurred in an ordinary year of peace, and what additional expenditure had been incurred during the period of war. The peace expenditure for the army, navy, and air force, amounted to one-hundred-eight billion. The present war had lasted not twelve months, and the entire expenditure of the country during that time, under the heads named had been two-hundred-twenty-three billion, making a difference between the two sums of one-hundred-fifteen billion. That, as nearly as could be calculated, was the sum the war had so far cost the country directly. Lord Grey proceeded to state that he would not prolong the secondary statement, on indirect costs of the war, instead, directing the House to the Parliamentary Library where they can receive a Red Book detailing additional values, including deficiencies in imports and export. With all dues considered, no doubt, appears a heavy sum, but considering the magnitude of the war and the circumstances of economic declines in Europe, the House must not allow yourselves to be disheartened, and must not suppose that in defraying the expenses of this costly war, you were loading the springs of industry in this country with a burden, which should likely crush us all. He then went forward with a statement on how he intends to apply a degree of relief on trade and industry, and the military. I, therefore, intend to submit to the House these resolutions :- empowering the Commissioners of the Treasury to implement an income tax for the years twenty-twelve to twenty-seventeen, supplementing revenue by one-hundred billion for the years twenty-twelve and twenty-thirteen; seventy-five billion for the years twenty-fourteen and twenty-fifteen; and fifty billion for the years twenty-sixteen and twenty-seventeen; a total of four-hundred-fifty billion for that five year period. A reduction of the rate of corporation tax by ten points, reducing revenue estimates by twenty-two billion. An increase in the Poor Law* to the supplement of twenty-one billion, to a total of sixty-five billion, for the period between twenty-twelve and twenty-seventeen. With departmental expenditures; the Home Office will implement a budgetary reduction of five billion; the War Office, a budgetary increase of twelve billion; the Justice Ministry, and increase of six-hundred million. The Public Board Departments will also see changes; Education, an increase of seven billion; Health, of five billion; Trade of five billion; Welfare of one billion; Works of seventy-nine billion; and the Board of Public Enlightenment will be abolished and the activities and programs concluded, with a reduction to public expenditure of two billion. In conclusion, revenues will be supplemented by one-hundred-nine billion, to three-hundred-nine billion; public expenditure will be increased by one-hundred-two billion, to three-hundred-forty-four billion; the estimate has a tight allowance of five billion. The Earl Grey demonstrated to the House how the resolutions would work to diminution the ills of war and economic crisis on the country. I care to admit to the House that his Noble Lord, the First Lord of the Admiralty will expand on the details necessary for Parliament's consideration; but I can inform your Lordships that this budget supplement allocates twelve billion to finance a much desired and needed naval development and procurement program. The Imperial Projection Capability Program (IPCP) is the development of a carrier, differing in design and function from the presently commissioned vessels, for the purpose of supporting the Royal Engellexic Navy in deployments requiring air power projection. A program for the construction and procurement of fifteen Type Twenty-Three frigates, to replenish and reinforce the surface fleet. An additional program for the construction and procurement of five submarine vessels to replenish those lost in the Montel war. He continued, though, expressed that the House should hold its anticipation of the following announcement for the statement on the next program from the First Lord of the Admiralty; a joint development program, Horizon, with the Kingdom of Great Danes for a new air defence destroyer. In addition to the procurement endeavour of her Majesty’s Cabinet, I have implemented the necessary increases to budgets to commence a stimulus effort thats benefit shall contribute to the overall national improvement that will be seen from this budget. The Public Works budget has been supplemented to one-hundred billion, from twenty-one billion; thirteen billion has been allocated for the repair and expansion of coal-powered stations in Walssex-Battent and Went; sixteen billion for the repairs and expansion of naval and shipyard dock facilities; twenty billion for the expansion of the public transport system; eleven billion for the reconstruction of estates in Zadar-Istria; twenty billion to be allocated to a number large and industrial cities for the redevelopment of centres. The five billion addition to the budget of the Board of Public Health has been determined to finance her Majesty’s effort to end cholera in Great Engellex by twenty-seventeen.

DULWICH EVENING DISPATCH

WEDNESDAY • JULY 18 • 2012​

ELECTIONS​

PARLIAMENTARY CONSIDERATIONS GREAT QUESTIONS

The Imperial Parliament at Dulwich is to decide on a question of great political important :- Elections in the Successor States of Montelimar.

The following, received from Mormant to-day, possesses great interest. It would appear that her Majesty’s Cabinet is about to have an opportunity of determining before the whole of Europe whether it is honourable to the principles declared when Engellex established the Montel Successor States, and that many influential liberals and nationalists in Mormant are determined that any parliamentary election shall be fairly and intensely tried. If this be the case, we shall soon know whether the parliamentary traditions of the former Montel Kingdom can be fully and peacefully transferred in their full glory. The House of Lords and the Commons Assembly will call upon the Imperial Chiefs of Staff and the Bletchley Intelligence Bureau next week to aid in the determination of the question of vast political important. The situation immediately before the Imperial Parliament is whether to initiate the parliamentary process for the financing of the security and framework of the Montel elections; the Imperial Parliament has already conceded to the Ministers of Wissemandie and Montelimar that the elections will be conducted under the laws and electoral conditions established under the former kingdom, which is inclusive of universal suffrage to every man and woman aged eighteen or over. The matter of the Montel elections, although the public has not hitherto troubled its head much about it, is likely to become one of immediate interest as soon as the Parliament considers the statements from the ICS and the BIB. What is more, the four-year term for which the Parliament at Dulwich was elected is due to expire in twenty-thirteen. The Queen-Empress has reserved no instruction to formally prolong the term as of yet, having rescinded a decree from last year in respect of prolonging the Parliament’s term. There would be an inconvenience in allowing the Parliament to exist up to the latest moment of the constitutional period, because the authority of the Commons Assembly is always weakened in its expiring moments. Among the members of the Parliament itself, dissolution and a general election is looked for so soon as early next year. Now it is quite certain that if this election shall take place under conditions permitting, even present suffrage and election laws, the majority of the Pitt Party in the Commons Assembly will be very greatly reduced, it is foreseen. This is despite the fact that popularity of the Queen-Empress has not diminished, but in fact grown substantially, over the past twelve months. Many in the House of Lords have warned that elections so soon are likely to take place under peculiar circumstances, including terror and excitement, which the Cabinet has determined to not occur, though, cared to admit that they anticipate the election campaigning to be conducted with the greatest energy, but by unscrupulous means in some quarters, for political existence. The apprehension of being roasted alive by the new front of Montel republicans has impelled many thousands, mostly with keen interest, of monarchists to bombard the postal system of the premier Mormant minister, Valery Giscard Pompidou, with questions respecting candidacy; moreover, a whole generation of Montelimariens who stood apathetic before the war toward national politics are now prepared to come forward. In Great Engellex it may be correct to observe that those Montels who are not for the monarchy are against it; there does not appear to be any room for shades of opinion. CANTIGNIA-YUJIN TARIFFS​ The Shadow President of the Board of Public Trade questioned the President of the Board, in the Commons Assembly, as to why the reports from Engellexic consuls and ambassadors abroad respecting changes tariffs, in Cantignia and Yujin, had not been presented to the Imperial Parliament, especially considering how many aspects would appear to possibly conflict with Engellexic interests in trade. The President of the Board replied that he was fully sensible of the importance of this species of information, and that nothing had been neglected for the purpose of obtaining the requisite facts. The course formerly pursued was to direct our consuls and ambassadors abroad to forward the information to this country in the shape in which it would be procured abroad; but it had been found that the information was received here in so voluminous and in-complete a form, that in order to be presentable to the Commons, it had been deemed reasonable to discontinue the practice temporarily, while her Majesty’s representatives in Cantignia and Yujin seek greater clarification on the new economic arrangements between the two countries. ROYAL ENGELLEXIC NAVY​ His Royal Highness, Crown Prince of Walssex-Battent the First Lord of the Admiralty, addressed the House of Lords on the Naval Development and Procurement Program. From the present session of Parliament the Royal Engellexic Navy will commission the construction of twenty-one warships for the replenishment and modernisation of the senior branch of the Armed Forces. The Queen-Empress will form a Lords Committee for Naval Development and Procurement to examine the case for the need of a third aircraft carrier; the Admiralty is determined for the development of a new class of aircraft carriers that would incorporate twenty-first century design and technological engineering for the purpose of carrying Engellexic airpower, extending her Majesty’s reach to every corner of Europe without hindrance. His Royal Highness cared to admit that, with permitting conditions of economy and public finance, the Admiralty is of the opinion that a background development, on the existing carrier class, could be revived if necessary to supply a much modernised third carrier of the existing class; the Admiralty has determined that a very significant refit, to be undertaken in two parts, will be required for the existing carriers, once operational requirements permit it. Returning to the program for a new carrier development, his Royal Highness stated that the Admiralty has calculated initial estimates for the development and construction of the carrier to be at two-billion-five-hundred-million; required specifications include short-take-off-vertical-landing, a displacement of near seventy-thousand, and the ability to launch thirty to forty aircraft and an assortment of helicopters of various use. Succeeding the address of the carrier development, his Royal Highness, conveyed greater detail on the procurement of additional warships. Fifteen type twenty-three frigates will be laid down in three batches of five, in order to accommodate other warship constructions, and will occupy shipbuilding capacities in Chatham (Bimbeck I.), Peterloo (Walssex-Battent), Caern (Wissemandie), Fecamp (Wissemandie), and Glenbeigh (Bantyr). The estimates for the frigates are placed at three billion. Additionally the Admiralty will commission the construction of five submarine warships, in two batchs, and occupying the capacities at Hammersmith (Walssex-Battent), and Weybourne (Went); their construction is estimated at one billion. I can inform my Noble Lords on the collaboration of effort between the Admiralty and the Board of Public Works on the matter. With this great and industrious endeavour, it is necessary for the financing of works at our shipyards – repairing and, certainly, expanding – of which, our keen attention shall be delivering exceptional and expanded facilities in Hammersmith, Fecamp, Caern, and Glenbeigh. The estimates, of sixteen billion, will arrest the decline of Engellexic shipbuilding industry and place it upon a solid footing for strong growth. Figures of additional direct employment are estimated to be within the tens of thousands – across Bantyr, Wissemandie, and Engellex – with an even greater number indirectly formed around the Empire. The Royal Engellexic Navy will be in need of an additional six thousand persons ; putting official figures of employment creation for this enterprise at almost fifty-thousand. The First Lord of the Admiralty informed the House that he will make an indepdent address to their Lordships respecting the Engello-Danish naval program, Horizon.

THE Friendly Confines grow weary of the muckraking inflicted upon Can-Engellexic relations by the Dulwich Evening Dispatch, and hope that no agenda exists within that historic information service which could contribute to distrust between this Covenant and its Motherland. We find it likely that the Evening Dispatch considered the following speculation from Yujin's Combined Newsmedia as fact:

Said anticipation and speculation is considered irresponsible, in consideration of Cantignia's historic preference for luxury products from Engellexic and Montelimarien merchants.

Harriet Fauconberg,
Chief Officer​

Dear Miss Fauconberg,

I will maintain that the Dulwich Evening Dispatch not only does consider, enthusiastically, particular the relationship between Engellex and Cantignia but also the fact that we are experiencing a situation of great crisis in respect of Engello-Cantigian relations; and I can extend assurances to Miss Fauconberg that the Dulwich Evening Dispatch is never distressed at the opposition of those from whom opposition was usually expected, but at the hostility of the Chief Officer. The eminent services rendered over our history to civilisation and Empire should never be forgotten, and it was a pure misfortune that the Dulwich Evening Dispatch felt now obliged to separate itself from the political fringe; which is what Engello-Cantigian relations are now, a fringe movement that occupies the Dulwich corridors of power, but nowhere else. Of course, it is sincerely hoped that Dulwich and Vesper can escape the turmoil as a close association of Northern-Southern Powers, if not historical partners of blood and tradition. There is, however, much cause for anxiety that if the present escalations continued our two countries would, owing to the permitting international crisis, fail to pass through it together uninjured at all.

With respect to the letter of the Chief Officer, I could not help thinking it would have been better if that letter had been given more consideration, and, certainly so, accuracy in fact, and so have prevented an effect contrary to that which her Majesty the Queen-Empress will most definitely frustrate over. If the Pitt Party appealed to Engellex for another Parliamentary majority, I am sure they will be emboldened more so to return to power one of the parties opposite, therefore, it was quite possible that the next Cabinet, and Parliament, would endeavour to turn their back upon the coarse and threatening rhetoric of the Cantigian Estates, and that her Majesty the Queen-Empress, with the assistance of a new Parliament, should be compelled to relinquish her hopes of returning Cantignia as a beacon of imperial prestige. Indeed, prestige long escaped the friendly confines.

But before I lay these words before your crimson eyes, I shall say that never had I – or the people of Engellex – known in a great diplomatic crisis assurance and efforts by her Majesty and the Cabinet so ample as has been from Dulwich to Vesper for the past few years; and to endeavour to list those assurances, the times that Dulwich has sought to reconstruct the declines experienced here-and-there over the years, would be to publicly humiliate her Majesty without being any relief to the loss of national prestige Great Engellex has experienced at the fault of the many written statements and publications from Cantignia.

Support for Cantignia was always absolutely safe in Engellex, whether by the people or by the Establishment, one would ensure it from the other; but I fear you already knew that, and simply spoil for a good rattle.

The contemporary conditions of Cantigian partnership, a term to be used loosely, were such as to make it impossible for any spirit of honour and friendship to be sustained. The Dulwich Evening Dispatch, perhaps the most supportive of Vesper in Europe (outside of Cantignia), should be accused of such lines as those written by yourself is demonstrative of the disconnect between our capitals, but only as a consequence of Cantigian political prescription, and not in due to any Engellexic agenda. Addressing the Chancellery in its entirety, I would like to point out these very significant instances between Engellex and Cantignia :- The Cantigian disputes with the European Defence Federation presence in the Implaric-Oceanic Territory; the decline of Pasilia Accord and Touzen’s position against Cantigian culture and political religion; the Engellexic war against the Federation; the escalations with the Germanic League; the Europalandian threats; the Karoskland-Ilchester Incident; the Zadar-Istria invasion; the Banto-Suionian war; I can list many more instances, but the point to be made is this :- Engellex has always fully supported Cantignia in her moments of great need, yet, and I believe it will always remain so, Cantignia has never been able to escape the humdrum of frontier-isolationism to extend support to Engellex in any incident that has arisen to afflict the country. I daresay, due to the Boliatur Crisis, the military cabinets of Vesper have or are contemplating invasive manoeuvres against Great Engellex, an announcement of that nature would be of no surprise to the country. The people are not ignorant, madam.

Therefore, it would be wise indeed for the political halls of Vesper to reflect carefully on how it foresees future Engello-Cantigian relations, as I believe the next general election will see a new Cabinet unwilling to acknowledge the hyperbole and discourteous snubbing from Vesper.

And madam, on my earlier point of factual accuracy, the articles in which you have found time of day to object, does simply to inform that the Opposition Benches’ displeasure at not having the President of the Board of Public Trade submit reports to Parliament on diplomatic developments between Cantignia and Yujin – not a displeasure on the contents of those developments themselves.

Yours faithfully,
Chief Editor of the Dulwich Evening Dispatch

VESPER, WEDNESDAY, 19th JULY 2012
​

THE Friendly Confines are of the entrenched opinion that Engello-Cantigian relations, or the Dulwich-Vesper Connection, are at their optimum level in Imperial History. Detracting from this incredibly truthful view is not only irresponsible, it is borderline criminal, and this Foreign Office intends to investigate those propagandists within these friendly confines who might seek to profit from the wretched phenomena of disharmony between this Covenant and its Motherland.

This Administration has answered every Imperial call, and we are almost certain that the Ilchester Administration most explicity put his nationalist agenda aside when it came to following direct order from the Imperial Crown. In that same tradition, we will continue to follow our truest ally in Dulwich, and laboriously preserve the Great Civilisation established by our forbearers of the frontier, who are not to be mocked by any self-respecting historian. Our purity and patriotism are unvanquished by the forces of Tribalism, Republicanism, Communism, and only now Post-Delegationism, which we have organized the world to condemn in league with the Great Engellexic vision.

In order to preserve our ongoing strategic process concerning Boliatur, we will neither confirm or deny our plans, though we can naturally assure speculating journalists that any and all decisions will be made in full consideration, and through close communication with our Imperial Allies in Dulwich. The ignorance of the properly Engellexic people is not our concern as the Cantigian Covenant, we can only hope that the media of the Motherland performs its duty to inform the Engellexic electorate on the realities of persisting Cantigian loyalty and service to an Empire Greater than itself: Engellex.
