The Copenhagen correspondents of the London
a1~/o Ginr ~ 49, lsc !,
writes on May thus:-As had hoped and expect
ed the Danish Ministry in its blind hate to almost
every law passed by the Parliament, has not been
able or willing to veto the new free trade law with
Iceland. This would have been to defy England
too grossly, which has long submitted to q state Of
things entirely illegal.
The law in question is far from being perfect, or,
in fact, what the Parliament itself wished. The
peatedly, in both houses, their contempt for the
strictive, pettifogging principles on which it is
constructed. But they were afraid of the veto.
They therefore kept very closely to the last meas
ure OF the Ministry themselves, and yet even this
was in danger, Orsted threatening to oppose it as
now too liberal.
Undoubtedly the new law is great boon, an i'm
mense advance, both for Iceland and for England
unfriendly hands. Nay it be as great blessing to
the noble island which it frees from plumber, mo
nopoly, and poverty, Is the most eager Icelander
can desire.
The Russians I'm Montenegro.
The Vienna correspondent of the London Times,
writing on May 9th, says THE state Of things in
Montenegro must inevitably lead to some kind Of
Intervention on the part Of Austria. We are all
well aware that the relations between Russia and
this empire are not such as they were before the

connected with military matters is kept as secret
as possible, but there is reason to believe that
TIansylvania is strongly garrisoned, and the Blu

Austria to proceed actively against Russia, but he il

preparations for war are carried on with unre

are SO well managed that the inhabitants OF the
capital remark little Of what is going on. TIL,
