A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen, dated
the 4th inst., says—
" Yesterday the President of the Council of
Ministers opened, in the name of the Kiug, the
extraordinary session of the Supreme Council of
Monarchy. The royal message, which was read,
designates the approval to be given to the treaty
on the Sound Dues as the principal object of the
deliberations of the Supreme Council.
" The Deputies of the Duchies of Holstein and
Lauenburg did not attend."'

SIAM.
The .3loniteur de la Flotte says :—" A letter from
China informs us that the King of Siam, in order
to enforce the execution of the treaties concluded
between him and different European nations, has
published the following edict, dated 25th Dec.:—
" We, sovereign of the country of Siam, of the
states of Laos, Camb odje, Malacca, and Djonkseylou,
being desirous that the treaties which we have
concluded with the powerful nations of Europe,
France, England, and Russia, shall be executed in
all their clauses, make known these conventions to
the governors of our provinces, the officers of our
customs, and all our subjects. We will that the
members of these different nations shall freely cir-
culate in our state, transact commerce, and exer-
cise their religion, while conforming to all our laws,
and respecting the acts of our authority. Done at
our palace at Bangkok, the seventh day of the
twelfth moon.

To this document is annexed a long list of customs
tariff with the import and export duties to be paid
on each. France is in this respect, as in every
other, placed on the footing of the most favoured
nations. The King of Siam, as well as his brother,
who shares with him the supreme power, is ani-
mated with the best intentions.

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. A
medical bulletin was posted up at the palace from
M. Juan Sanchez, chief physician to the Queen,
stating that, though the King had been obliged to
keep his bed from a catarrhal fever, no danger was
to be apprehended. M. de Bourman, one of
the Spanish commissioners for the settlement
of the Portuguese boundary question, having ar-
ranged a number of points connected with the
subject, had returned to Madrid to receive addi-
tional instructions, and was to go back immedi-
ately after to Gallicia. M. Poitevin, the well-
known French aeronaut, was at Bilboa, where his
ascensions excited much attention, several of the
principal inhabitants having (tone up with him.
