Tile rupture OF the negotiations between
Prussia and HoIland relative to the navigation
:ofthe Rhine appears. to have caused some
alarm In Berlin, where the determination
shown by the Dutch Government in the mat
Jer is attributed to its being secretly support
ed by France. The point in dispute is whether
thenew convention, which it is proposed to es-
tablish in place Of those now in existence, is to
apply to the whole Of the river and its tributs-
Iies, or only 10 the streams on the other side OF
Gurkum and Dordrecht. The Dutch Govern
ment considers that, the Merwele and the
!@.Meuse being part Of Holland, the navigation
OF those rivers ought to be under it's exclusive
control This view is opposed, on behalf OF
the Zo;lverein, by Prussia, who appeals to the
last Convention on the subject (that OF 1851,
and the treaty Of Vienna, which stipulates that
the naviga alton Of the Rhine shall be free to
the sea. AS this is the first occasion on which
Prussia has acted as the representative OF the
Zollvsrein, it is believed that she will not allow
the meter to drop, but make further and more
urgent representations to Holland on the sub
ject.
