1t is thought that this kingdom is about TO
receive new constitution. The law called
Royal prohibits the monarch, under tie pc
nalty Of dethronemeht, from ceding any por.
ton OF the territory; and the king have ced.
ed Norway, the constitution is thereby vio-
lated. On the other side the succession TO
the throne is deranged by the solemn abdis
cation of Prince Christian. II Is thought
that by fReans Of q new constitution. the
crown may be made to pass to the Princess
Royal, daughter Of the king.
