DENMARK.

An event, to which it would, perhaps, be pre-
mature to attach any political importance, is at
present a subject of conversation. The King of
Denmark is about to leave Copenhagen on a visit
to the King of Sweden. It is a private visit only,
his Majesty travelling under the name of Count
Danner ; the Countess Danner will accompany
his Majesty, as well as M. Liebenberg,. the Secre-
tary of his Cabinet, but no member of the Ministry
is of the Royal party.
The Stockholm Aftonblad thus commences an
article on the fall of Sweaborgi of which the intel-
ligence had just reached the Swedish capital :
" At length the ' cannon. have spoken ;' while
we were expecting some great operation in the
Black Sea the mortars of the allied fleet in the
Baltic have opened on the northern Sebastopol,
and the echo of their music has gladdened the
Swedish heart, which no family compact' has con-
nected or ever shall connect with Muscovite force
or Muscovite cunning."
The articles goes at some length, having been
written before any details were known into a specu-
lation as to the manner in which the attack was
made, and concludes as follows :

" The quantity of stores and provisions in the
place must have been very great, as Sweaborg, even
in time of peace, had a garrison of 8,000 or 10,000
men, and was the chief military depot for the whole
of South Finland. If the arsenal and stores have
been destroyed and the powder magazines blown
up, the material damage must be immense, and a
long time must elapse before the Russian colossus
will be able to supply the loss. Will the allied fleet
be content with this achievement; without deriv-
ing more direct results from it, without attempt-
' in, to take possession of the works, of which the
power of resistance, if not wholly destroyed, must
necessarily havOeen much weakened Thequestion
is impossibe to answer, as nothing has occurred'
to indicate the intention of the commanders. An
occupation does not appear probable, as the fleet
has no land troops for the purpose. But it is pos-
sible the event may bring about some change in the
plan of operations in the Baltic. In the meantime
we heartily congratulate the allies—we could
almost say cur allies—on the unexpected event,
the first of the year, and we hope now, with some
degree of confidence, that it will not be the last
before the winter closes in. It would not surprise-
us if the flames of Sweaborg should help to melt
the icy bond of the neutrality that now protects the
flank of the Russian giant. It is at least certain
that they will contribute to strengthen and vivify
the sympathy for the cause of justice and civilisa-
tion
among the people of the North."

SPAIN.
The Madrid papers of- the 24th have come to
hand, but contain little of interest. The Espana
asserts that 50 bales of merchandise are daily
smuggled from Oleron across the frontier at a'
moderate cost, Without meeting with any obstacle
on the road, and justly observes that, if matters
are allowed to continue on that footing, the cus-,
toms' revenues will soon disappear from the budget.
The same paper states that the subscriptions to the
voluntary loan amounted at Barcelona, by the last
accounts, to 10,000,000 reals. A private letter
from Madrid, of the 25th says :—There has been a
mischievous rumour spread of a fresh outbreak at
the Escurial. But there is no fear of that ; there
op 100 horse and 300 foot at the Elotiri4l, all old
