NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Revision Of the Act of Union.

Revision OF the Act Of Union.
The two Chambers OF the swedish Diet have just
discussed tho royal proposition relative to the rev-
sion Of the Act OF Union between Sweden and Nor
way. This suggestion was intended to realize the
idea, constantly pursued by King Charles, OF draw
ing closer the ties which unite The two scandinavian
Kingdoms and TO assimilate their legislation, the
differences OF which are essential, from political
point OF view. Norway, enjoying democratic In
stltutions and an almost absolute autonomy, eX-
periences, rs may be conceived, the greatest re-
pugnance to sacrifice the slightest portion OF
her privileges for union the advantages Of
which do not appear very clear. In sweden, for
other reasons, the proposition also encounters per-
sistent opposition In the Upper Chamber the c0m-
mittee charged with the examination OF the affair
advocated the postponement OF the question as In.
volvlng reform OF the fundamental law, and that
course, in spite OF the instances OF the government
was adopted by large majority. The Lower Cham
Der pronounced still more empnaticay IN the same
sense. The matter is, therefore put or till the Diet
OF 1870 but Will certainly be again postponed, be-
cause 1t cannot be considered by the Norwegian
Storthlng till 1871 ,the annual meeting OF that
Assembly then commencng), and the decision has
been adoped TO treat the question simultaneously In
DOtu counties.

AUSTRIA.



The union between Austria and Hungary is be-
coming closer. The government OF Vienna has
shown careful consideration for Hungarian sus-
ceptbilty, and at the present day the greatest
tdence subslsts between the empire and the king
dom. This intimacy seems to be dispeaslng to
Prussia. The North German Gazette would appar-
emily be glad to see divergence between Vienna and
Pesth and it therefore endeavOrs to dlsc0rd be-
tween the two Ministries The Pesth LtOyd replies
to the Prussian journal in remarkably clear Ian
guage. 1t says
The Hungarian Ministry is satisfied with the share Of the
executive which the law allows with respect to foreign
affairs II has used its right and will continue within
the limits traced out by the legislature But long the
Andrassy Ministry and Count Beust shall remain
Hungary and Austria will form but State in presence of
foreigners Prussia must needs resign herself 10 that
of things.
The Pesti Ndplo expresses the same idea in a lead
ing article. In the opinion OF that journal the con-
tract which attaches Hungary TO the throne of the
Hapsburg dynasty is definitely concluded. The last
elections, 1t says, have proved tne fact, and the
majority commanded by the Deak party III the Diet
OF Pesh Is, 1t thinks sure guarantee Of the truth
OF its assertion.

The French Press OH the Alabama Question.
The opinion Rationale or Paris OF the 5th has
the following comments on the above topic:-
The intermnabie affair of the Alabama still keeps
the pubic mind in suspense in England; and the
highly irritating tenor OF certain American Journals
cannot fail, in the long run, to set the public feeling
on edge. However pacific may be the temper OF
our neighbOrs, however they may be disposed to
avoid u conflict that would entail serious trouble
upon their commercial interests IL must be borne In
mind tnat reserve and prudence have their limits.
In one word, 1t cannot be said that England fears
war with the United States, although she endeavors
in every way compatible with the honor OF a great
nation. to avoid 1t.
The Times takes up the more than violent speeches
that have been uttered in Congress and the Senate
at Washington, tending to prove that nothing but
war Ontrdnce with Great Britain can solve the
difficulty, unless she agrees to relinquish Canada to
the United States. The city organ suggests that
these peeches must not be considered serious IL
cannot however be doubted that they will cause an
irritating impression with our neighbors.
