TREATMENT OF JEWS IN GALATZ.
The New Pree Press of Vienna publishes the
following protest of the consuls in Galatz spinet
the persecution of the Jews. It is addressed to
the Prefect :

Galatz, July 15, 1867.

The undersigned European consuls have been made ac-
quainted by public report and by precise information with
the painful events which took place yesterday in the port of
Galati. Eight or ten Jews were expelled the country on
last Saturday by order of the local authorities. The police
put them on board a Mall boat, and carried them to the
Turkish side of the river. Amongst these poor people was
an old man, so infirm th►t two persons had to
help him into the boat. Instead of taking them
to the Turkish station of Satoka, they were con-
veyed by the soldiers in charge to an inhabited
island opposite Galata, which was inundated with water,
and landed in the marshes, as was done on previous
occasions. The Turkish soldiers picked them up on
Saturday, and brought them back to Galata, intending
to leave them at the station of the port-captain.
Instead of receiving the outcasts, who were
now exhausted from fatigue. and who we are
assured are Moldo•Wallachian subjects, they were pushed
back Into the water with the butt-ends of muskets, and
with bayonets. Two Jews, namely, the old man and a
younger person, attempted to return to the Turkish vowel,
but they were carried away by the current and drowned.
The Rouman guard made no effort to save them,
although they sank near the bank, whilst the Turkish
vessel made off rapidly. The Mercury, a steam vessel be-
longing to the Austrian Danubian Company, got ready to
save them, but was too late. The remainder were
at last received and imprisoned, after having been
left a long time in the water exposed to •
burning sun. We do not know whether there
was any foreigner amongst the Jews, but in presence of the
notorous persecutions to which the Jews of this country
are exposed we consider it our bounden duty to protest
with energy in the names of the governments we repre-
sent against this act of barbarism, and to throw before the
civilized world the whole responsibility of it on you, the
prefect, and on the superior authorities."

PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.
BERLIN, Juts 25.

The reply of the Danish government to the last
Prussian note upon the North Schleswig ques-
tion, is to the following effect :—" In the matter
of the guarantee asked for by Prussia, Den-
mark has not been able to recede from the
point of view she has hitherto maintained. The
Danish laws, well known to be liberal, secure equal
rights to all subjects of the state, and, therefore,
afford ample protection to German residents.
Special guarantees, therefore, are not required.
With regard to the co-operation of Denmark in
settling the frontier of the districts proposed to
be restored, touched upon in the Prussia* note,
the Danish Cabinet points that Denmark is ex-
cluded from taking the initiative in this matter
by the clause of the treaty of Prague referring
to the subject. Denmark must therefore await
the proposals of Prussia."
The note concludes with the expression of the
readiness of the Danish government to enter into
negotiations with Prussia.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA. JUT 24.

A late edition of the Abendpost publishes Captain
Groller's official report of the death of the Emperor
Maximilian, partly confirming and adding to the
facto already known. Previous to the execution of
the Emperor Maximilian Captain Grolier had
offered Juarez the friendly alliance of Austria in
exchange for his liberty.
