" In spite of the applications made to the King
of Denmark," says a Copenhagen letter, " by a
certain number of manufacturers for setting aside
the law recently voted in favour of free tnanufac-
tures and trade, his Majesty has sanctioned the
work of the two chambers, and the measure has be-
come the law of the kingdom. It is in error that
the German journals have announced the nomina-
tion of the Count de Lewenhaupt to the functions
of marshal of the nobility of Sweden, in the room
of Count Hamilton, who was in ill-health. Count
Hamilton, it is true, manifested his desire to re-
sign his functions as marshal,- but he still retains
them in consequence of an application to that
effect made to the Prince Regent by the nobi-
lity. As to Count de Lewenhaupt, he has been
named grand marshal of the court, a title which
has no political significancy, although it confers im-
portant
functions in the palace."

A Naples letter of the 29th ultimo says :—" The

ruary last, attempted to poison H.R.H., but on
the solicitation of the prince, his life has been
spared. The man was triedalone ; but it is certain
that others were concerned in the crime ; in fact, it
appears that a plot exi=ted for killing all the mem-
bers of the royal family."

The Leipsic Gazette, tys :—" We can announce
positively, on authority of a letter from Berlin of

the 30th ult., that in a short time the question of
the Duchies will enier on a phase, the French go-
vernment having officially informed our cabinet
that it has authorised its envoy at Copenhagen to
pronounce on the affair in the same sense as the
Ruesian note of the ls& Dec. The Berlin cabinet
has, besides, reasons to believe that Denmark will
make other concessions, but the moment has not
come for making them known."
