MOI ely, to tee mode OF calculating IT, aad as to the
auoult of the sum 10 be raised. The very position
which Denmark has thrown out ia IN the highest de-
gree complicated. According TO this, ~ we have
shown in the paragraphs copied from other papers,
the Sound tolls are divided INFO tao Glasses hose
csr we'd from imposs on the cargoes ana those upoa
vessels To dispose of the former IT is proposed that
the different States shall contribute IN proportion TO
the amount OF goods and mer handlse when eilher
when exported from imported into their ports pass
though the Sound ard Bells, so that nations out OF
the Baltic shall pay toll for ali goods which they ek'
mort places on the Baltic coasts and upon all viii ID
they in turn import thence and the nalous upon the
Baltic paw for all goods imported from places outside
the Sound or exported thither. An average OF t1e
sums paid by the merchants of the several countries
during the last few Yeas is 10 be made, and tbs re-
spectve quota of each alton thus in part determined

found by averaging the number of vessels which have
raised The Sound both ways under the various hAgs.
Our Copenhagen correspondent hiss Just sent US the
two tables annexed in which is given viey OF the
toll of the years lej23 paid by the several nations
and also in percentage the proportion which each
would have 10 bear in raising the proposed fund.
at il 10 be remarked that 10 notice Is taken here
of The various oTts the Baltic which have claimed
oremnton from the imposis aud which Denmark has
thus far ignored, althous these cases must come up

question. In fact these computations ana the dlyis'
ion proposed contain 60 many points tor conflict tlat
il is impossible TO now any unsnlmty IN the reeul,
can be reached. For such a concuson-just what
Denmark wi.hes-she is fully prepared. Perhaps tie
yery reason she has called the convention lies In the
conflicting opinions she ioiesees. Inc purpose OF a
revision Of the tariff she has by means given up
but merely placed it in the background there to let ts

to Epeiaud on twists and iron, perhaps one or TOE
other Of these States might hId revision OF the ta1n

Thus by the possibility OF revision OF the tolls kep'

She will pont at her unhappy position between
the agitation offhe commercial world, on the one hand
unwilling 10 pay the toll, and the other the cool aud
doubtful assistance rendered her by the governments
She will talk of her exertOns TO calm this agitation,
and her earrest Efforts which were only interrupted
by the unhappy war in the Duches; and. IN renewing
these Efforts to mitigate the evils attendant on her
well grounded rights, will, OF her own sccord aud
free will Offer the nations revision and reduction Of
the tariff-but such revision will not lessen her
receipts and will in no essential degree tighten the
burdens upon trsde and which, although only the full
