"Tun delegate of the Emperor at the same time de-
clares that the Imperial Cabinet consents to contribute
to the redemption cf the Sound Dues for the quotura
falling to the charge of Rissia according to the ab ,ve
indicated division, provided always ' that all the Powers
represented in the present negotiation consent also, on
their part to the same conditions for the redemption of
the S9und Dues.'

"The delegate of Denmark acoepts this reserve, de-
claring it to be conformable to the views of his own
Government.

" The delegate of his Majesty the King of Sweden and
Norway declares that his Government accepts the pro.
positions of the Danish Government, as well as regards
the principle of redemption as the amount, of indemnity
claimed by Denmark.
"The delegates of Russia and of Sweden and Norway
point out to observation that the mode of payment of the
different quota must be the subject of a special negotia-
tion between Denmark on the one hand and each of the
contracting Powers on the other, reserving it therefore
for a private agreement to fix the method and term of
payment of the quota falling respectively to the charge
of Russia and of Sweden and Norway.
"The delegate of Denmark adheres to this observation.
" Finally, the same delegate having pointed out that
the present negotiation is temporarily stopped in conse-
quence of a difference of opinion which has arisen be-
tween the Danish Government and that of her Britannic
Majesty, that, consequently the labours of the Conference
on the dues might remain a long time in suspense, the
length of which it is impossible to fix, the delegate of
Russia declares, 'That the adhesion of the Imperial Go-
vernment to the Danish propositions, as defined above,
shall remain in full force until such time as the Copen
hagen Cabinet itself shall declare the negotiation broken
off, and withdraw the propositions it has made.'
" The delegate of Denmark having expressed the satis-
faction with which he takes note of this declaration, and
the delegate of Sweden and N.,rway ha, ing declared
that he was convinced he would be authorised to make a
similar declaration as soon as be should have received
the instructions which, the case not having been fore
seen, could not have been given to him before, the pre-
sent delegates agree to leave the protocol open for the
eventual adhesion of the other Governments treating
with Danmark for a final settlement of the SJund and
Belt question._

GREAT ARRIVAL oF SHIPPING AT

LIVERPOOL.

A change of wind has brought the finest fleet of mer-
chantmen into this port that ever entered the Mers-y
in one week ; and with them an influx of wealth, in the
value of their cargoes and the amount of their freights,
we believe, without parallel. A greater number of ves-
sels may have entered the port in former years during
the same period, but in their aggregate tonnage and
value of their cargoes they would bear no comparison
to the arrivals of the present week. We here subjoin
the number of vessels and their tonnage, distinguishing
the countries they are from, but not separating the Bri-
tish and foreign tons:—
