The Sound Dues.
BERLIN, June 21.-It is stated that owing to the
mediation of Russia, an arrangement has been con-
cluded between Denmark and the United States, in
virtue of which provisional toll convention will
main in rorce till June, 1857, and the Sound Dues
| will be collected under this convention as formerly.
The Paris PyeSSe mentions the same circumstance
in the following terms:
The prospect of conflict between Denmark and
the United States is set aside for the moment. The
Washington Cabinet at the request of that of Copen
hagen has consented to further prolongation for
year of the treaty of 2Sth of April 1856 and the e
tension Of which for two months has just terminated.
American ships passing through the Sound and Belts
will continue to pay the dues without protest, but
with reserve of their rights Moreover, the question
is to be settled bynternatonal negotiations before the
end Of the year. Such are the two conditions put by
| the United States and accepted by Denmark. 1t is
said that the good offices of Russia have contributed
| to this temporary arrangement
ELsINoRE, June lS.-The first American vessel that
arrived in the Sound since the expiration of the treaty
with America, and which paid the Sound Dues under
protest, the Sarah L. Bryant Gellerson, of Bos-
| ton, from St. PeterSburgh to New York. witha gem
eral cargo of Russian produce. The captain at the
j instance Of, and accompanied by the United States
Consul at this place. made his declaration at the Sound
Dues office in the usual manner but protesting for
ma)ly against the act Of payment and reserving to
| himself on the part of the owners Of the ship and
cargo the right of receiving back the full amount of
the dues paid in the event of its being decided atany
subsequent period, by an understanding between the
governments of the United States and Denmark that
American vessels be exempted from the payment OF
Sound Dues after the expiration OF the treaty. winch
ceased on the l4th instant The officers of the Sound
Dues were rather startled at the conduct OF Captain
Gellerson and in the course of the day drew up and
lodged with the American Consul counter protest
against the course pursued by the captain.
But the most extraordinary part OF the story that
the Sound Dues office people entered the ship and
charged the duty and fees belonging to the privileged
nations-that is, those nations with whom Denmark
is bound by treaties; whereas, the treaty having eN-
pired it is clear that the American flag lay no
claim to be included in that category and according
to the general rule and the existing tariff ought to
have paid much higher dues nonprivileged ship.
