Brussels, Antwerp, and some other towns. In the
vicinity of Brussels the storm was so tremendous
that trees were torn up from the roots. The same
thing took place at Antwerp. The Scheldt was like
a sea. During the storm the Spanish barque Arthur
and the English barque Oscar were driven from
their anchors.

The Dagbladet, a journal published at Copen-
hagen, in giving an account of the formal taking
possession of the Duchies by Prussia, says that the
population did not exhibit any enthusiasm on the
subject, but they seemed rather to deplore the
event. The ceremonial was everywhere the same
(it says). The first magistrate, surrounded by the
garrison, read the patent of annexation and a pro-
clamation of King William. The Prussian flag
was hoisted, and the affair was terminated with
the cry of " Long live the King," " but there was
no echo to the cry." The Ilagbladct argues
from this coldness on the part of the popula-
tion that it will strengthen the ilea of
Prussia not to consult the wishes of the in-
habitants of Northern Schleswig, and to consider
Article 5 of the Treaty of Prague as a dead letter.
This view is supported by the fact that the elections
for the North of Germany are about to take place
throughout Schleswig. The recent speech of Count
Bismarck in the Chamber of Deputies does not
reassure the Dagbladet. On the contrary, it sees
in all these circumstances a flagrant contradiction
of the formal promises made by the head of the
Prussian Cabinet.

The English and French commission charged
with inquiring into the circumstances connected
with the fisheries in the seas between the coasts of
the two countries, with a view to prevent the dan-
gerous collisions which have often occurred between
the English and French fishermen, have come to an
amicable understanding, and the resolutions which
they have adopted upon the subject will shortly be
embodied into a treaty.
A lady at Fontainebleau has given birth to three
children, two girls and a boy, all of whom with the
mother are in good health.
Vice-Admiral Page, President of the Council
of Naval Works, who died on Saturday, aged 60,
was buried to-day. The funeral ceremony, which
was impressive, took place at the church of Auteuil.
M. Fortune Delavigne, the brother of the eminent
Casimir Delavigne, has just died in Paris.

The Journal des Debats confirms the information
of La France respecting the new law upon the
press, and adds that the newpaper stamp will be
reduced, but that in future it will be applied to
literary as well as political newspapers.
