The Finnish Diet

London vid Bomba:, August 7.

The Finnish Diet has been opened with a stern speech from the Throne, which lamented the absence of a feeling of solidarity of Finnish interests with those of the Russian people, and the failure to recognize the justice of the obligations to the Empire fre. imposed upon the Finns.

The President replied, firmly insisting upon the principle of independent administration, any departure from which must be considered asa disregard of Finnish rights.—Reuter.
