GETINANY AND DENMARIC,

---4-

We take the following from the official report of
the sitting of the Ist of October of the German Diet
at Frankfort _ .

" The President laid before the Assembly a note from the
British Envoy, S r Alex, Maid-, dated the Ist of October,
in which the latter communicates to the Diet a despatch
from the Secretary of State for Foreign Aff tirs of Great
Britain, Earl Russell, dated the 13th of September, con-
cerning the constitutional question of Tiolstein-Lauenburg.
The Diet directed that this document should be referred to
the joint committees charged with the examination of the
question,

" After some local business, a vote was come to upon the I
report presented to the sitting of the 19th of Sept., relative
to the constitutional question of Holstein-Lauenburg by the
joint committees, as also upon the propositions advanced in
that report. These latter are approved by the majority of
the Assembly. The envoy charged to represent the Minis-
ter of Denmark and Holstein-Lauenburg protests against
this approval in the name of the rights of the Royal Ducal
Government, referring to the declarations made previously
by Denmark, and abstains from voting upon the approval
of the joint committees.

MANCHESTER, snEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN-

The total expenses of this company's railway,
&c., -
including rents, tolls, duty,f
rota the Ist July
to the 27th September, 1863, amounted to £77,826
as
T

£77,502
proportion for
of the s
r tl the corresponding ponding period of
1862. Junction
receipts
accruing to this company from the Ist July to
the
27th September amounted to £2,020 as against
£8,407 for the corresponding period of 1862, and
the expenses to £3,969 as against £3,589.

" The resolution which the Diet takes on the subj ect of
this question runs thus :
"1. The Government of Denmark and of Holstein-
Lauenburg has not fulfilled the federal obligations relative
to the constitution of the Duchies of Holstein-Lauenburg,
and, especially, by its declaration of the 27th of August of
this year it has not acted up to the federal resolution.of the
9th of July last; federal execution must, therefore, be
resorted to to enforce (if they have not already been com-
plied with) the application in the said Duchies of the federal
resolutions of the 11th of February and 12th of August,
1858, of the Bth of March, 1860, of the 7th of February,
1861, and of the 9th of July, 1863.
"2. The Austrian, Prussian, Saxon, and Hanoverian
Governments are charged to carry out the execution, and
the Governments of Saxony and of Hanover will be invited
each to name a civil commissary, who, if needs be, and
after having received the instructions of the Diet on the
mode of execution, will have to administer, according to
those instructions by order of the German Confederation,
the duchies of Holstein-Lauenbarg in the stead and in the
name of the King-Duke, without prejudice to the rights of
the latter, which are only provisionally suspended.
" Moreover, the said Governments shall be called upon
to place at the disposal of the civil commissaries a detach-
ment of 6,000 men, the composition of which they will de-
cide upon between themselves, and at the same time the
Governments of Austria and of Prussia will be invited to
hold ready, in case of resistance to the federal executive, in
concert with the kingdoms of Saxony and Hanover, a suffi-
cient body of troops to support victoriously the detachment
in question.

"3. Communication of this resolution shall be made to
the Royal Ducal Government in virtue of Article IV. of
the regulation for execution, through its envoy ; at the same
time, that Government will be reminded in an official state-
ment of the propositions of the committees of the 18th June
of this year, of the Federal resolution of the 9th July of
the same year, and of the report serving as a basis to the
motions actually made by the joint committees, and Den-
mark will be summoned to comply with the demands for-
mulated, and to make known her intention within a delay of
three weeks.

6' 4. This resolution shall be brought to the cognisance of
the Governments of Austria, Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover
by their envoys, and those Governments will be called upon
to make all the necessary preparations, that the measures
decreed may be immediately put into execution.

On this question the Journal desDebats publishes
the following, dated Frankfort, Oct. 1
" A note has been addressed by the English Government
to Baron de Kubeck, President of the Assembly for Austria,
in which Earl Russell calls upon the Diet to open fresh ne-
gotiations with Denivark through the intermedium of Aus-
tria and Prussia before carrying out its threatened invasion,
in the hope of thereby attaining a pacific settlement. The
English note has been referred to the two united committees,
who will make a report to the Assembly in an early sitting.
This new diplomatic incident will necessarily lead to a de-
lay in the execution of the military measures which the
Confederation proposed to take against Denmark. The con-
tents of the English note dwell, we are assured, upon the
proposals which the chief of the Foreign-office addressed
simultaneously on Sept. 20, 1862, to the Diet and to Den-
mark ; they pointed out the basis upon which a friendly
entente might be established between the two parties inte-
rested. Germany, it will be remembered, showed itself in-
clined to accept those proposals, but they were not well re-
ceived at Copenhagen."

The Moors and Forests in Scotland.

(From the lnvel nese Courier.)

The moors and hills are so difficult of access, on account
of snow, that very little sport has been obtained during the
past week. Deer-stalkers especially are compelled to
remain idle, and most of them have left for the South.
Lord Selkirk took his departure from Gildermory, on the
Novar estate, this morning, his lordship having this year
concluded one of the oldest shooting leases in the North of
Scotland. The following are the notes which we have been
able to collect :

Lord Dacre and party have killed 37 stags at Ceanacroc,
up to Monday last. On the 23d ult. his lordship killed a
very fine royal, with a head of 13 points. The brow
antlers measured 12 inches in length. Lord Middleton has
shot a number of fine fat stags in the Applecross Forest.
The weight of one of them has been tested, and found to be
20 stones 21bs. clean, with a fine "long-tined and beau-
tifully-formed" royal head ; span 341 inches. Captain
Ayre also shot, in the Applecross Forest, 6 stags, from
10 to 12 points, by only firing seven shots, and Lora ill-
ing one stag at each shot. A few days ago, H.
Bentinek shot two stags right and left in the forest of
Glenavon, and two on each of the two following days.
On Friday week he shot three stags at one stalk, and an-
other stag on the afternooa of Saturday. Among these was
a royal, and another with 11 points. All were in good con-
dition, averaging about 15 stones. His lordship has now
left for the forest of Loch-Errocht,. and will finish
his deerstalking for the season by returning to Mar Forest
through Glenavon, thus hunting three extensive forests in
one season. Up to the present time, 19 stags have been
killed in Sir James Matheson's forest of Moregail, in the
Lows, most of them in very fine condition. In spAte of the
weather being unfavourable, Lord liinloch has succeeded
in bringing down three stags, one of them having a head of
14 points. Sir Gr orge Deuys has shot three stags, Mr. E.
A. Tanford one, Mr. Magnay two, one being a royal ; Mr.
Ryrie two, one with 14 points, and one a Royal. The sal-
mon fishing in the river Creed, near the Castle, and at the
Ghrimersta on the west side of the island, has been success-
ful, although the season was a late one, owing to the dry
weather during the summer preventing the fish running up
the river. Mr. E. A. Tanford has caught 9S salmon, having
several times brought home eight or nine fish in a day, and
on one occasion at the Ghrimersta, 13. Three gentlemen
from the Castle, in a day and a half, caught in the Ghri-
mersta, 27 salmon, the two largest weighing respectively 15
and 16 pounds; and two gentlemen, a short time before,
caught in little more than two days 32 salmon. In fact the
lochs and river at the last named places quite swarmed with
fish, affording sport unsurpassed in Scotland.

LOLD CLYDE'S BEQUEST TO GENERAL VINOY.•—•
In a codicil to his will, dated May 23 last, the late
Lord Clyde thus expresses himself in reference to the above
distinguished French general, now commanding the Ist di-
vision of the army of Paris :—" I give and bequeath to
Lieut.-Gen. Vinoy, commanding a division in the French
army, and my old and beloved comrade in the Crimea, the
sum of £5OO, as a token of my especial esteem and regard."
During the Crimean campaign Gen. Venoy commanded a
body of French troops placed near those commanded by Sir
Colin Campbell at Balaklava. On several occasions difficult
and perilous duties were confided to their united forces.
The upshot was a warm and lasting friendship between the
two generals, whose example contributed much to the esta-
blishment of that thorough good understanding, kindly feel-
ing, and mutual admiration, which marked the intercourse
of the Zouaves and Highlanders throughout the Crimean
war, If we are not misinformed, a portrait of Gen. Vinoy,
painted expressly for Queen Victoria, now hangs in her
Majesty's writing-closet at Windsor Castle, as a companion
picture to that of his comrade in arms, Sir Colin Campbell.
At At the assault and capture of the Malakoff Gencralre
greatly distinguished himself, and at this momentl thNel l°
no officer in the French army more likely than Yto
obtain a marshal's baton.
