THE STATE OF JUTLAND.

The Berlingake Tidende of October 4 contains a
very distrusting account of the hardships to which
the people of Jutland are subjected by the army of
occupation. After showing the great interest,
commercially and financially, which Denmark must
have in a speedy settlement of the matters in dis-
pute between her and Germany, and the ab-
surdity, therefore, of supposing that Denmark is
throwing any obstacles in the way of an equitable
adjustment, the Berlingske Tidendc proceeds to
say:

The information we receive from Jutland is most &Mitr-
ing, and it would appear as though the German authorities
were striving to make the yoke which they have imposed
more intolerable every day to the unfor►unate inhabitants
of the province. It is well known that after the armistice
the allied powers engaged to keep in Jutland only inch a
number of troops as was required by purely military con-
siderations, yet the army of occupation amounts to between
35,000 and 4005 men, and the cost of their maintenance is
nearly 112,000 i. per month. Moreover, by a recent order
of General you Falkenstein all the troops have been con-
centrated in the principal towns of the eastern coast, even
in those which were not occupied on the 2nd of August,
for the purpose of making them their winter quarters.
The rations of moratoria and forage have been so much
augmented that it is materially impossible for the people
to meet the hairless imposed oo them whilst they
have only one or two rooms in their own houses,
all the others being given up to German soldiers
and officers. But this is not all. Under pretence
that the ordinary revenues of the province are
inadequate to supply the wants of the army, all the imports
from the Danish Wm are subjected to a customs' duty,
whilst, at the same time, the exportation of the cattle,
butter, and the other agricultural products of Jutland is
prohibited. These measures, added to those which were
already in force, and which are entirely opposed to the
text and spirit of the armistice, are musing the
total ruin of the people. The Danish government, '
who feel sensibly for the condition of the Jatlandete, have
made representations on their behalf to the route of
Berlin and Vienna on the subject of thews severities, which
are the more difficult of explanation, u the people of
Jutland have not given the military authorities the slightest
ground of complaint or disquietude. We can hardly credit
the statement of an officious journal of Berlin that there
proceedings have been adopted in order to force t►e Danish
government to swept financial conditions which ware not
within the scope of the preliminaries of peace and which
would be fraught with the gravest consequences to
Denmark.

THE FRANCO-ITALIAN TREATY.
Ocr. 10.
A banquet was given hare to-day in honour of
the Marquis Pepoli.
The marquis proposed the toast of " Success to
the City of Turin." Speaking of the Franco-
Italian treaty, he said, " It 's not only a benefit
for Italy, but still more a triumph of prowess and
civilisation. The treaty attacks no part of the
national programme, and breaks the last link which
united France to our enemies."

The marquis, in his speech, indignantly repelled
the unworthy rumours of cessions on the part of
Italy, and pointed out their absurdity.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
COPENHAGEN, Ocr. 10, 10.4 r.w.
Fadrelandet of to-day says :—The conclusion
of pesos i 9 near at hand, Denmark haying consented
to fix at a round sum of nine millions of rigadalers,
the share which the Duchies are to have in the
public property of Denmark. This amount is con-
sequently to be deducted from the portion of the
Danish public debt, which it had been arranged
should fall to the charge of the Duchies."
