SWEDEN AND DENMARK

The late outrageous " post-convention" enacted
or submitted to by England has almost stopped all
English newspaper reading. Since the ukase ap-
peared nine-tenths of the British journals have
been given up as a matter of necessity.
The German Bund, at the formal request of
Prussia and Austria, have solemnly agreed to grant
pensions to invalid Schleswig-Holstein officers, and
their widows and orphan children. They will do
this in the shape of a " free contribution" from
each state. This is in addition to the immense
BUMS raised privately, and to the appointments
given many of these men in various parts of Ger-
many. So it ifs clear that rebellion is a better
trade than loyalty, when it is used for getting the
German empire new provinces.
The last news received from the East has
strengthened the hands of the Russian party. They
justly observe that England merely plays the double
of Russia, which has all along acted with energy and
consistency, and that it is merely suicidal to be the
ally of Great Britain, especially when Russia is in
the way.
There is to be a great Industrial Exhibition in
Christiania next summer, to which all Norway will
contribute specimens of its produce.
The Norwegian Government has sent two of its
high officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Wergeland and
First-Lieutenant Nielsen, to Stockholm, to confer
on a uniform plan for telegraph lines in the two
countries.
A part of Stockholm was lit with gas, on trial,
on the 19th. The effect was very fine. The whole
was to be opened in a few days.
A new and elegant translation of Sir W. Scott's
novels is appearing in Stockholm. Each volume
contains a whole romance, and costs only 2s. The
best English romances appear immediately iu Swe-
den, well translated.

the desire of terminating the present war at the earliest pos-
sible moment, by the re-establishment of general peace on
solid bases, ailbrding to the whole of Europe every guarantee
against the return of the complications which have so un-
happily disturbed its repose ; being convinced that nothing
would be more conducive to that result than the complete
union of their efforts until the common object which they
have in view shall be entirely attained; and acknowledging,
in consequence, the necessity of coming to an immediate un-
derstanding with regard to their respective positions, and to
arrangements for the future ; have resolved to conclude a
Treaty of Alliance, and have for that purpose named as their

his gallant and beloved relative (Sir E. Lyons), in which that
officer eta ed that he was above all things indebted to the
conielauder-in-Chief for the perfect responsibility he had
vested in his hands, and for the confidence he had displayed
in 111111 -ft confidence which had been his greatest encourage-
ment iu the performance of his duty. (Hear, hoar.)
Capt. SCOI3ELL explained that the reason why the Com-.
mauder-in-Chief had not superintended the landing o: the
troops was simply that be was the Commander-in-Chief.
(Hear, hear.) Tile officer who held the command-in-Chief
never undertook a detached duty. They might as well have
expected Lord Raglan to take command of a detachment as
Admiral Dundas to superintend the landing. (Hear, hear.)
He had had a letter from Admiral Dundas, written before the
letters were written from the maintop of the Agamemnon, in
which the gallant officer seemed to be very sensible of the
unfair comments made on his conduct. It was cruel that
such attempts should be made to traduce the character of a
gallant officer Serving his country bravely abroad.
Mr. OTWAY remarked that it was not the hon. member
for Aylesbury who first mentioned the name of Admiral
Dundas in this debate ; it was the hon. member for Surrey.
The subject then dropped, and the house :adjourned, at
half-past seven, till Monday.

THE AUSTRIAN TREATY.

The following is a copy of the Treaty of Alliance be-
tween her Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, and the
Emperor of the French, signed at Vienna, December 2,
1854, which was last night presented to both Houses of
Parliament :--

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and
his Majesty the Emperor of the French, being animated with
the desire of terminating the present war at the earliest pos-
sible moment, by the re-establishment of general peace on
solid bases, affording to the whole of Europe every guarantee
against the return of the complications which have so un-
happily disturbed its repose ; being convinced that nothing
would be more conducive to that result than the complete
union of their efforts until the common object which they
have in view shall be entirely attained ; and acknowledging,
iu consequence, the necessity of coming to au immediate un-
derstanding with regard to their respective positions, and to
arrangements for the future ; have resolved to conclude a
Treaty of Alliance, and have for that purpose named as their
plenipotentiaries :

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, the Right Honourable John Fane, Earl
of Westmoreland, a Peer of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, a General in her Britannic Majesty's
Army, Colonel of the 56th Regiment of Infantry of the Line,
Knight Grand Cross of the most Honourable Order of the
Bath, and Commander of the Military Division of the same
Order, Knight of the Imperial and Military Order of Maria
Theresa, a Member of her Britannic Majesty's Privy Council,
and her Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
to his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, &e., &c.
His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, the Sienr Charles,
Count de Buol-Schauenstein, his Chamberlain and Privy
Councillor, Minister for Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial
House, Grand Cross of the Imperial Order of Leopold, Knight
of the Order of the Iron Crown of the first class, dra,, ke„
His Majesty the Emperor of the French, the Sieur Francis
Adolphus, Baron de Bourqueney, his Envoy Extraordivary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to his Imperial and Royal Apos-
tolic Majesty, Grand Officer of the Imperial Order of the
Legion of Honour, &e., &c.

. .
Who, after having communicated to each other their full
powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and
signed the following Articles :

ARTICLE I.

The high contracting parties refer to the declarations eon.
tained in the protocols of the 9th of April* and the 23d of
May+ of the present year, and in the Notes exchanged on the
Bth of August last and as they reserved to themselves the

tions as they might judge necessary for the general interests of

out having first deliberated thereupon in common.

SMALL ARMS.

Oa the motion of Mr. MUNTZ the following return
was ordered :—Return of all orders given, and contracts
entered into, by the Board of Ordnance for small arms,
since the Ist day of January, 1853, with the dates
thereof, the time of the delivery of each pattern, and
also, when each material was given out to, be set up;
specifying separately London, Birmingharri, and foreign
orders ; and stating what part of them have been re-
ceived, and what number of materials, and muskets, or
other guns have been accepted of 577 bore, and all
other kinds, and when.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.
Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to put a question to
his right hon. friend the Commissioner of Works upon a
subject of considerable importance to the metropolis.
The house was probably aware that owing to the improve.
ments which had lately been made in the City there was
now a large vacant space on the north-east side of St.
Paul's Cathedral affording a most excellent view of that
magnificent building. Now it would be disgraceful to
the country and the metropolis if that vacant space were
allowed to be again built upon. It might be pur-
chased for a sum of 60,0001., and he should be glad to
know from his right hon. friend whether he would
direct his attention to the subject, with the view of pre-
venting the space being again covered over. (Hear.)

Sir W. MOLESvircRtH. said, some months ago his
attention was called to the question, and he entirely
agreed with his right hon. friend that the space ought
not to be covered. (Hear, hear.) But this was a ques-
tion which did not belong to the Government ; it be-
longed to the Corporation of the City of London, who
estimated the value of the laud at 60,000/. ; but it
would be a gross act of Vandalism to cher the ground
with buildings. As Commissioner of Works, however,
he had no power to prevent it, nor had he any funds
-wherewith to purchase the land. (Hear.) He did
not think Parliament ought or would give the authorities
of the city 60,0001. to induce them to do their duty,
but he should be happy to consider any plan to prevent
the land being built upon, provided it would not involve
any outlay of public money.
