The abovenamed period of six years is to be applied to
persons born in Denmark or the ceded territories who may
not be within the Dan,sh Kingdom or the Dachies at the
time of the exchange of the ratifications of the present

Art 10. Up to the period when the Duchies definitively
undertake the sum they agree to pay, according to Article 8
of the present treaty, instead of their share of the common
debt of the Danish monarchy, they shall pay half-yearly 2
par cent. of the abovenamcd amount (viz., 580,000 thalers, in
Danish currency), This payment shall be made in such
manner that the interest ancrinstalments of the Danish debt,
hitherto payable by the Treasuries of the Duchies, shall also
in fuure be defrayed by those same funds. _ These payments
shall.be made half-yearly, and in case they do not attain the
above stated sum the Duchies shall pay the remainder to
the Danish Financial Department in hard cash, or, in the
contrary case, the surplus will be repaid to them equally in
hard cash. The liquidation between Denmark and the
authorities charged with the supervision of the Duchies is to
take place in the manner laid down by this present Article,
or quarterly as this may be deemed necessary by one side
or the other. The first payment shall be specially directed
to defray the interest and instalments of the common debt of
the Danish Monarchy which were paid after Dec. 23, 1863.
Art. 11. The sums constituting the so-called Holstein-
Ploen equivalent, the remainder of the compensation money
for the former possessions of the Duke of Augustenburg,
including the priority debt with which they are charged,
and the Crown-land bonds Schleswig and Holstein, shall
fall to the exclusive burden of the Duchies.
Art. 12. The Governments of Prussia and Austria shall
be repaid the expenses of the war by the Duchies.
Art. 13. His Majesty the King of Denmark binds him-
self; immediately atter the exchange of the ratifications of
the present treaty, to give up all German, Austrian, and
Prussian ships, with their cargoes, which have been captured
during the war, to remove the embargoes laid upon neutral
ships carrying cargoes belonging to Prussian, Austrian, and
German subjects; and finally, to return all ships captured
by Denmark on account of any military reason in the ceded
Duchies. The above named objects shall be bona fide re-
turned in the condition in which they were at the time of
their capture. In cases where the objects to be returned are
no longer in existence their value shall be paid, and if they
have suffered considerable depreciation in value since their
capture the owners shall be compensated accordingly. It is
equally acknowledged as a binding obligation to compere
sate the charterers and freighters of ships, as well as the
owners of the cargoes, for all expenses and direct losses
which can be proved to have resulted from embargoes on
ships, and to indemnify them for harbour and station dues,
judicial and other costs, incurred for the provisioning or
sending home ships and crews.
With regard to such ships as cannot be returned in na-
tio a, the principle governing the compensation to bo given
shall be the value of the vessels at the time of their capture.
As regards destroyed, or no longer existent cargoes, com-
pensation shall be guided by the value they would have had
at the place of their destination at the time when it may be
assumed the ship would have probably arrived. Their Ma-
jesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria will
equally return merchant vessels captured by their troops or
ships of war, with their cargoes, in so far as the same be-
long to private persons. Where the return cannot be made
in nature, compensation according to the principles above
laid down will be paid. Their Majesties at the same time bind
themselves to calculate the amount in money value of the
contributions levied by their troops in Jutland. This sum
shall be deducted from the compensation to be paid by Den-
mark, according to the principles laid down in the presettt
Article.. Their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Em-
peror of Austria, with the King of Denmark, will nominate
a special commission to settle the amount of the respective
compensations, and which shall meet in Copenhagen at
latest within six weeks after the exchange of the ratification
of the present treaty. This commission shall endeavour to
accomplisk its task within three months. Should all the
claims which may be laid before it not be agreed upon after
that period, those still remaining unsettled shall be subjected
to the decision of an arbitrator. Their Majesties the King of
Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Denmark
will come to an understanding for this purpose in choosing
an arbitrator. The compensations will be paid at latest
within four weeks after they have been finally settled.
Art. 14. The Danish Government remains charged with
the repayment of all sums paid into the Danish Treasury,
by subjects of the Duchies), by oowmunes, by public insti-
tutions and corporations, as deposits, caution moneys, or
trust funds. Among others the following shall be repaid to
the Duchies-
1. The deposit destined for redemption of the Holstein
Bank notes.
2. The funds to be devoted to building prisons.
3. The fire assurance money.
4. The deposit fund,
5. The capital derived from legacies belonging to the
communes or public institutions in the Duchies.
6. The cash balances derived from the separate revenue
of the Duchies, and which were bona fide in their treasuries
at the time of the Federal execution and the occupation of
these countries.
An international commission will be commissioned to
liquidate the amount of the above sums, and to deduct the
expenses falling upon the separate administration of the
Duchies. The collection of antiquities at Flensburg bear-
ing upon the history of
Schleswig, but for the most part dis-
persed since recent events, is to be re-collected in that town
with the assistance of the Danish Government. Equally
Danish subjects, communes, public institutions,and corpora-.
dons shall be repaid in full by the new Government all the
sums they have paid as deposits, caution moneys, or trust
funds into the Treasuries of the Duchies.
Art. 15. The pensions included in the special budgets of
the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as of the Duchies, shall
be paid, subsequently as before, by the respective countries•

tinned between the Kingdom and the Duchies in proportion
to the respective populations. For this object it has been
agreed to draw up a list of all these pensions, to capitalise
the value of their life-rent amounts, and to invite all cons
cerned to declare whether they wish to draw their pensions
in future in the Kingdom or in the Duchies. In cases where,
in consequence of these declarations the proportion between
the two parts— t.e., between that charged upon the Duchies
and that falling to the burden of the Kingdom—shall not

part thereby affected. The pensions charged upon the Gee

terns will be paid subsequently as before, so far as those funds
shall suffice for the purpose. As regards the additional sums
to be paid by the State to these funds, the Duchies under-
take a share in these additions proportionate to their respeo

The Treaty of Peace between Denmark and
the German Powers.

The following is the full text of the Treaty of
Peace between Denmark and Austria and Prussia :
In the name of the Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity.
His Majesty the King of Prussia, his Majesty the Em-
peror of Austria, and his Majesty the King of Denmark
have resolved to transform the preliminaries of peace signed
on the Ist of August into a definitive treaty of peace.
For which purpose their Majesties have appointed their
plenipotentiaries as follows :

THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
BARON CHARLES VON WERTHER, Knight of the Red
Eagle First Class, Citand Cross of the Imperial Order of
Leopold and of the Dannebrog, &c., and Minister Extra-
ordinary and Plenipotentiary at the Court of Austria ;
and
BARON AR➢IAND LOUIS VON BALAN, Knight of the Order
of the Red Eagle Second Class, &c., Member of the
Council of State, Minister Extraordinary and Plenipo-
tentiary, &c.

_
THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.
COUNT JOHN BERNHARD VON RECHBERG-ROTHEN-
LOWEN, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of
the Hungarian Order of St Stephen, Knight of the Iron
Crown, of the Black Eagle, &c. ; and
BARON ADOLPHUS MARIE VON BRENNER-FELSACH,
Commander of the Imperial Order of Leopold, of the
Dannebrog, &0., Minister Extraordinary and Plenipo-
tentiary.
HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF DENMARK.
GEORGE J. DE QUAADE, Commander of the Order of the
Dannebrog, of the Red Eagle, &c., Minister without a

portfolio ; and
HENRY AUGUSTUS THEODOR VON KAUFFHANN, COM-
mander of the Order of the Dannebrog, &c.
Who, having met in Conference at -Vienna, and having
exchanged and verified their credentials, have agreed upon
the following articles :
Art. 1. There shall be henceforth and for ever peace and
friendship between their Majesties the King of Prussia, the
Emperor of Austria, and his Majesty the King of Denmark
—as also between. their heirs and successors, their States
and subjects.

Art. 2. All treaties and agreements concluded between the
high contracting parties before the war are again made valid,
in so far as they are not abrogated or modified by the con-
tents of the present treaty.
Art. 3. His Majesty the King of Denmark renounces all
his rights over the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and
Lauenburg, in favour of their Majesties the King of Prussia
and the Emperor of Austria, binding himself to recognise
all decrees which their above-named Majesties may issue as
regards the said Duchies.
Art. 4. The cession of the Duchy of Schleswig includes
all the islands appertaining thereto, as well as the territory
on the mainlar d.
To simplify the frontier line and to avoid the inconveni-
ences which arise from the position of the Jutland enclaves
situate in Schleswig, his Majesty the King of Denmark
makes over to their Majesties the King of Frussia and the
Emp-iror of Austria the Jutland possessions which lie to the
south of the south frontier line of the district of Ribe, viz.,
the Jutland territory of Moegel-Tondern, the island Amrom,
the Jutland portion of the isles of Fohr, Sylt, and Romoe.
In return their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Em-
peror of Austria grant that an equivalent portion of Schles-
wig, which comprises besides the island of Aeroe such por-
tions of territory as serve to connect the above-named dis-
trict of Ribe with the rest of Jutland, and to regulate the
frontier line between Jutland and Schleswig on the Kolding
side, shall be separated from the Duchy of Schleswig and
incorporated in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Art 5. The new frontier between the Kingdom of Den-
mark and the Duchy of Schleswig starts from the middle
of the Bay of liejlsminde, in the Little Belt, and after tra-
versing that bay it follows the south border of the parishes
of Hejls, Vejstrup, and Taps ; it follows the latter until it
reaches the water which is situate south of Gejlbjerg and
Bramore ; it then follows that stream from its mouth in the
Fovs-Aa along the south boundary of the parishes of Oedis
and Vandrup, and thence along the south boundary of the
latter to the Konge-As, to the north of Holte. From this
point the valley of the Kenge-Aa will form the boundary line
as far as the eastern limit of the parish of Bjortlund. From
this point the line follows the same boundary till it reaches
the promontory north of the village Obekjar and then the
east boundary of that village to the Gjels-Aa. From thence
the east boUndaries of the parishes Seem, Ribe, and Vester
Vedstedt form the new frontier line which in the North Sea
will run in equal distance between the islands Monoe and
Romoe.

In consequence of this new frontier line both parties agree
to regard as annulled all claims and titles, as well civil as
religious, which have hitherto prevailed in the enclaves on
the islands and in the mixed parishes. Consequently the
new sovereign power will enjoy its full rights in this re-
spect in every portion of territory separated by the new
frontier line.
Art, 6. An international commission, composed of the
representatives of the high contracting Powers, will be
charged, immediately after the change of the ratifications
of the present treaty, with settling upon the spot the line
of the new frontier, in accordance with the stipulations of
the preceding Article.
This commission will also have to apportion the expenses
of constructing the new road from Ribe to Tondern between
the Kingdom of Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig, in
proportion to the extent of the respective territory it will
pass through. The same commission will preside at the
division of the real estate and property which has hitherto
belonged in common to the districts or communes inter-
sected by the new frontier.
Art. 7. The stipulations of Articles 20, 21, and 22 of the
treaty concluded between Austria and Russia upon the 3d
of May, 1815, which forms an integral part of the general
act of the Vienna Congress (stipulations with regard to
proprietors of mixed lands, to the rights they exercise, and
to the relations of neighbours upon landed properties
bisected by frontiers), shall be applied to the landed pro-
prietors and possessions in Schleswig and Jutland which
are in the cases provided for by the above-mentioned regu-
lations of the Vienna Congress.
Art. 8. To obtain a fair distribution of the national debt
of the Danish Monarchy in proportion to the respective po-
pulations of the Kingdom and of the Duchies, and to pro-
vide at the same time against the invincible obstacles which
a detailed explanation of mutual rights and claims would
occasion, the high contracting Powers have settled the
round sum of 29 million thalers (Danish currency) as the
share of the national debt of the Danish Monarchy falling
to the charge of the Duchies.
Art. 9. The share of the national debt of the Danish
Monarchy with which the Duchies are charged in accord-
ance with the preceding article shall be paid under the
guarantee of their Majesties the King of Prussia and the
Emperor of Austria, as the debt of the three above-named
Duohies, to the Kingdom of Denmark, within the period of
a year, reckoned from the definitive organisation of the
Duchies, or if possible still earlier. To defray this debt the
Duchies may avail themselves, wholly or in part, of one or
other following methods of payment :
, 1. Payment in hard cash, 75 Prussian thalers being taken
as an equivalent to 100 Danish rigsdalers.
2. Payment to the Danish Treasury in 4 per cent. non-
returnable bonds belonging to the internal debt of the
Danish monarchy.

Protocol concerning the evacuation of Jutland by the
allied troops.
In accordance with Article 22 of the Treaty of Peace con-
cluded this day between their Majesties the King of Prussia
and the Emperor of Austria on the one part and his Majesty
the King of Denmark on the other part, the high contract-
ing parties have agreed to the following conditions :
1. The evacuation of Jutland by the allied troops shall

take place at latest within the space of three weeks, and in
such a manner that at the end of the first week the districts
of Hjorring, Thistad, Viborg. Aalborg, and Randers shall
be evacuated; at the end of the second week, in addition to

down its functions upon the day of the exchange of ratifi •
cations of this present treaty. The entire administration of
the country shall be handed over to a commissioner ap-
pointe by the Danish Government, who shall be present at
the head-quarters of the Commander.in-Chief of the allied
armies in Jutland during the whole continuance of the

evacuation.
The Danish officials will without hesitation supp!y the
allied troops with whatever provisions and means of trans-
port they may require during their stay on Jutland terri-
tory. The Danish Government will hold their commission-
ers responsible for the fulfilment of this condition. The -
supplies mentioned in this Article shall be limited to the
merest necessities.
4. All hospitals, field-posts, and telegraph lines at pre-
sent established for the use of the allied troops will continue
to be used by them until the evacuation of the said districts
is fully completed ; nevertheless, this shall be done without
prejudice to the similar institutions belonging to the Danish
Administration. The Royal Danish Government expressly
pledges itself that no hindrance shall be platen in the way
of the exact fulfilment of this article.
5. In case it is necessary to leave behind sick or wounded
men of the allied army after the evacuation of Jutland, the
Royal Danish Government engages to see that the same
shall be properly cared for and nursed, and after their re-
covery forwarded by carriage to the nearest station of the
allied troops.
6. From the day of the exchange of the ratifications of
the present treaty all costs of the allied armies incurred for
the above-mentioned supplies, for lodging, board, treatment
of the sick, and means of transport, shall be defrayed in
accordance with the tariff in use by the Federal army when

700 yards slightly to the right. In the second
round the shots were in line.
With regatti to the behuviuur of the shunt gun
in prematurely bursting its shell on Friday last, it
would appear that the fault lay with the experi'
mental fuses used rather than with the gnn (as we
antizip2ted in our report in The Sun of Saturday),
and yet, in yesterd;3's firing, the same fezces and
shelis not only did nut burst constquently on the
shell leaving the gun, as they did en Friday, but
they did not even do so on the first concussion the
shell received on striking the water. No mis-slires
occurred from the Whitworth gun, the precaution
being taken every few rounds of passing the wire
through the vent, which appears to be all that is
necessary to keep it clear.

It was yesterday announced in the garrison at Woolwich
that Col. Hopkins, C,8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and
who succeeded a few weeks ago to the command of the divi-
sion of Royal Marine Light Infantry in that garrison, has
requested and obtained permission to retire from the service
with the full pay of his rank. The post of aide-de-camp
which the gallant colonel has held for the last five years
therefore becomes vacant. Col, Hopkins will retire from the
service with the rank of major-general. He obtained the
Commandership of the Bath and the appointment of aide-
de-camp to her Majesty in testimony of his arduous and
efficient services while in command of a brigade in the Cri•
mea, and retires at the early age of 55. His departure from
Woolwich is much regretted.
In the list of naval appointments which appears in The
Sun of yesterday read James T. Syme instead of James T.
Lyme, assist, paymaster, supernumerary, to the Fisgard.

The Slaves of the South.
---4.-- -

The following article appeared recently in the
Richmond Enquirer :

" CONSCRIPTING THE SLAVES.
" The proposition to extend the Conscript Law to
the slaves of the States was first formally advanced
by the Enquirer i❑ the issue of the 6th inst. Since
that time we have received many assurances of its
popular favour, and none whatever of opposition to
it. We learn that the planters in the extreme
Southern States favour the proposition, and some
have signified their readiness to free five, 10, or 15
of their slaves if they will enter the army. The
near approach of the time when the Congress meets
again requires that expression be given to the sen•

timents of the country upon this important measure.
We therefore earnestly invite its discussion, and
open our columns to opponents as well as friends of
the proposition. The result of the late elections is

still in doubt, and whether Lincoln or M'Clellan
will be elected it is yet impossible to determine, but
there is no uncertainty as to the question of carrye
ing on the war. Whether Lincoln or M'Clellan be
the next President, the voice, the almost unanimous
voice, of that people is for a vigorous prosecution
of the war. The duty of preparing to meet that
issue will be before the approaching Session of the
Confederate Congress. That body will have before
it for consideration the ways and means, as well as
of men as of money, for carrying on the war on our
part. The war cries of the enemy, 'No parley
with rebellion in the field—no compromise with
slavery in the readjustment fully inform our people
that in plain vernacular the whites of these States
are to be subjugated to slavery, and their slaves
reduced to the miserable condition of Yankee free
negroes. This is the view of the people among
our enemies, and this will be the result of the
war, whether ended by Lincoln or M'Clellan,
if the people of these States permit theme
selves to be conquered. The conscription of
negroes should be accompanied with freedom and
the privilege of remaining in the States ; this is no
part of abolitionism, it is the exercise by the master
of the unquestionable right of manumission ; it is
remunerating those who defend our cause with the
privilege of freedom. Nor should this important
subject be prejudiced with questions about putting
the negro on an equality with our friends, brothers,
and fathers. Many of the soldiers in their child•
hood were fondled and nursed by faithful negro
nurses, and yet no question of equality was ever
raised. Many a man has manumitted slaves with-
out ever being subjected to the suspicion of being
an abolitionist. The issues involved in this war
are too exalted in their importance and character
for us to permit them to be compromised by being
degraded to a question of property. The liberty and
freedom of ourselves and of our children, the nae
tionality of our country, the right of enjoying any
kind of property, the houses over our heads, and
the very graves of our children and friends, are
involved in the struggle. Failure makes slaves of
all, white and black ; robs all of property, real
and personal ; divides our land among our con•
qaerors, who will plough up the very graves of our
dead as fertilised ground for making money. We
have in our midst a half million of fighting mates
rial which is property—shall we use that property
for the common cause ? Justice and sound policy
demand that we make freemen of those who fight
for freedom. We conscript the master and we im•
press his horses, cattle, wheat, and every other
property except slaves. This very exception is an
imputation that this war is for slavery and not for
freedom. By conscripting the negroes we show to
the world the earnestness that it is in our people ;
we prove to our enemies that at the moment of our
supposed exhaustion, in the fifth year of the war,
we shall meet them with larger armies than we
have before raised; and we explode the false accu-
sation that we are fighting for slavery, or a slaves
holder's confederacy. There are those who doubt
whether sound policy would trust negroes with
arms. We are not of those who entertain any fears
upon that subject. Drill and discipline make valu-
able soldiers of Russian serfs, and no negroes in these
States are so ignorant and brutal as those serfs. Bel
t ween service with the Confederacy and with the
Yankees, between living among us,with their strong
local attachments, and going among strangers, who
are now openly buying and selling them to recruit-
ing officers, our slaves will find no difficulty in
choosing. And when once it is understood that free•
dom and a home in the South are the privileges
offered by the Confederate authorities, while the
enemy extend the beggarly hospitalities of Yankee
philanthropy, not only will desertion from our ranks
be unfrequent, but the draughted negroes of the
Yankee armies will exchange services. This subject
addresses itself to the consideration of our people at
this particular time with great force. The prospect
of four more years of war are before our people ; the
enemy will not even parley with us without uncons
dition al surrender, the fruits of which would be con-
fiscation of all property, the deportation of whole
communities, the degradation of the people, and the
domination and tyranny of Yankee masters. There
can be no reconstruction which does not embrace
a surrender first, which will not permit confiscation
afterwards, which does not insure enslaving the
whites without freeing the blacks. If there are
any weak-kneed people who imagine they can save
their property by reconstruction, let them study the
shibboleth of all parties in the United States
No parley with rebellion in the field; no compro-
mise with slavery in the adjustment.' Uncondie
tional surrender is first demanded before even a
parley. We are to lay down our arms and submit
to the kindness of the Butlers, Grants, Shermans,
and Sheridans ; to the fate of New Orleans, the
condition of the valley, the misery of Atlanta, and,
after all that degradation, to give up all our slaves
in the adjustment. If there are any reasons against
extending the conscription to slaves, we should like
to have them stated, but we are decidedly of opinion
that the whole country will agree to the proposi-
tion, and that at an early day the next Congress
will be called upon to provide for it by law."
The following is an extract from a despatch from
Henry W. Allen, Confederate Governor of Louise
iana, to the Secretary of War :
" Executive.office, Shreveport, Louisiana,
Sept. 26.
"My dear Sir,—The time has come for us to put
into the army every ablesbodied man as a soldier.
This should be done immediately. Congress should,
at the coming season, take action on this most im-
portant question. The negro knows that he can•
not escape conscription if be goes to the enemy.
He must play an important part in the war. He
caused the fight, and he will have his portion of the
burden to bear. We have learnt from dear.bought
experience that negroes can be taught to fight, and
that all who leave us are made to fight against us.
I would free all able to bear arms, and put them into
the field at once. They will make much better sole
diers with us than against us, and swell the now
depleted ranks of our armies. I beg you to give this
your earnest attention. With assurances of my
friendly regards and very high esteem, I remain,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
" HENRY W. ALLEN, Governor of Louisiana.
" To the Hon, James A. Seddon, Secretary of War,
Richmond, Virginia."
