DENMARK.

The draft of a fundamental law for Denmark,
which was presented to the Volksthing at its last sit-
ting by M. Oerstadt, President of the Council, con-
tains the following modifications to the fundamental
law now in force:—" The Danish Diet is to meet
only every two years, in place of every year. An
electoral law shall be examined and voted. Func-
tionaries cannot accept the place of deputy unless
with the assent of the King." This draft con-
tains 11l paragraphs and three temporary provisions.
After making this communication the Minister read
a royal rescript, pronouncing the close of the session.
The Assembly separated amidst ci ics of "Long live
the King."

FRANCE.

PARIS, TeICIDAT Evawixo.
The Muniti :sr contains a decree dividing France'
for the purprses of prefectural inspection into nine
cireuniseriptions, and itioixniog to the inspectors np- •
rimed by the decree of Feb. 2, 1833, the ciream-
scrip • tions which they are respectively to survey.
These inspectors are the following councillors of
state: MM. Nlarchant, Cartier, Buulatignier, Ville-
Woisse, Fremy, St lune, Dubessey, and Dariste.
The only striking piece of news relative to the
Ext re question to-day is an assertion put forth very
confitlentty by the Cl:lit ituti"nnel. that Russia does
not admit the right of either France, Eng:and,
Austria, ur Prussia, to interfere in the matter. This
extraordinary finale to the reports with which we
bare been inundated during the last fortnight, that
Mine one or more of the proposed mediations had
twos accepted, produced a considerable sensation at
the opeieng of the Bourse. The Presae observes
upon Oda statement:
We shall take the liberty in future of paying no attention
to the pretended sews from St. Petersburg, which the
t.„retso Journals nations to give us with more regolari y
than mtteority, and the Firm dings of Count Guile,' are
*ow to us a nastier of the utmost itdifferanee. With re-
pr,,l to the powers, it is evident, *reaming the Co/oaths-
mime to be well informed, that they have merely been
'sing time at St. Petersburg. It is at Constantinople that
they must act, either with a view to submission or resist-
ance. hut in either case they must act with promptitude.
Marshal Prince Jerome Bonaparte has left the
Palais Royal fur his chateau of Villegenis, where he
Heads to pass several days.
M. Martinez de la Rosa arrived at Bayonne on
the 9:!ntl, coming from San Ildefonso on Ur way
to Paris.
The TAW,' of Lille says that the mayor, M.
Iticheb;•, on his return from Paris, whither 'he load
been to inspect some decorations preparing for the
f;te to be given to the Emperor when he shall visit
'that town, expressed a confident hope that his Ma-
jesty would be at Lille between the 10th and the
13th of September.
I observed on the day of the publication of the
&crte relative to the importation of corn from Eng-
lish possessions in Europe, that people were not
agreed as to its precise meaning. It appears that
the construction is still a matter of controversy. The
Echo Agricole says:
We received from England a letter commencing with
these words; " Yesterday the news of the suspension of the
French corn laws produced some sensation among our
Greek houses. The meaning of the despatch was not how-
ever very clearly understood, and we are looking for an
explanation in the Echo!" This communication shows how
seceessry it is to make such commercial laws as may not be
dentition to the minds of commercial men. It is not the fact,
as some journals have interpreted the decree, that " foreign
corn, :whether in English ships or in English bonded
warehouses can, by payment of the duties im-
posed upon vessels by the law regulating the importation
of grain, be brought Into France for consumption." Fo-
reign corn earning directly from Americo. Africa, Asia, or
reentries in Europe, other than Eugland or her possessions
in Europe, is still prohibited from entering France in Eng.
lish bottoms. Tne Green houses shou!cl take nothe of
this, for in this respect there is no change in the law. Coro
coming directly from the Block Sea, Egypt, America, and all
other countries other than British possessions in Europe is
prohibited. Cora of any origin shipped in England or in
the English possessions in Europe is admitted, paying the
same duty as that paid upon corn imported under the
French flag.
