THE Jews IN SWEDEN AND NoRwAY.--The
repeal of the clause Of the fundamental law which
prohibits Jews from settling in Norway, may
probably lead to the conclusion that they are
thereby permitted to settle in the country such
is not the case. In order to prevent the Jews
from acting upon a mistaken dea oil this kind,
the Swedish journals call particular attention to
the fact that the change introduced by the Stor.
thing into the fundamental law is inefficient
so long as the private law of the kingdom re-
mains unchanged. So much, however has been
gained by the abolition Of the obnoxious clause
by the Stortfing, that the possibility of change
in the private law Of the kingdom is conteri-
plated. But till this has been done no Jew will
be permitted to settle in the kingdom, and every
Jew who visits the country must provide him.
