LTI T VIR NT LI DR TA TR L RATIAT TR e R WA ILS 9 S TR D SBETET WL RO S TSN (Irom the Weekly Dispatch, dugust 27.) i e THI DUCHIES. THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN CONVEN. TION. The foliowing is a complete summary of the articies of the convention :(—Prussia will carry on the adesnistration of Schles- wig, and Auastria that of Holstein. The two great Powers will propose to the Federal Diet the establishment of a4 Ger- man fleet, and the couversion of Kiel into a Pederal port. Until this is accomplish- ed, Prussia will undertake the commund and turnish the police of Kial, and will be empowered to fortity the port and guard it with Prussian soldiers. Austria and Prussia will also propose to the Diet that X Rendsburg be made a Federal fortress, and antil this is decided Rendsbnre will be garrisoned by Austrian and Prussian trecops; the supreme command to be al- ternately assumed by each Power on the Ist of July of every year. Prussia will retain two wilitary and postal ronds— namely, the Holstein portion of the road from Lubeck to Kiel, and from Hamburg to Rendsburg. .On these roads the postal servies wian@eeacricd on by Prassia, who will also establish her own telegraph line between Kiel and Rendsbarg, The latter Power is authorised to consiruct the canal in Holsgein, between the Ger man Ocean and the Baltic, which will re main under Prussian control. Austria will surrender to Prussia her elaims to Lanen- harg for a pecuniary lademunity, this Dachy paying no portion of the Danish war expenscs. The Prussian troops will evacuate IHolstein, and the Austrian troops Sclileswig. Both the latter Dach- ies will join the Zollverein. These arti cles, and also some other measures agreed upon at Gastein, among which is the dis solution of the present Government of the country, will, it is expeeted, be carried out oa the 15th of next month. The negotiations for the final settlement of the question of the succession of the Duchtes have not yet led to any results as far as the most important points are concerned. The Emperor of Ausiria and the King of Prussia have agreed that a conference of the Minisiers of both Pow crs should eontinue the negotiations. The following is the note in the French Moniteur recarding the Convention:— “The Convention signed by the great Ger man Powers has just been published. It is not our inteution to discuss its different classes, but it is impossible for us not to point out the unfavourable reception it has met with even in Germany. The priuciplc ui ihe anion of the Duchies is one which has hitherto been most con- l stantly proclaimed by the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin; but the Gastein stip ulations proceed from a contrary order of idens. They, moreover, imply no par ticipation of the Duchies in the seftie ment of their own destinies, and take no account of the nationality of the inhabi tants of Nothern Schleswig. The two Courts, it is true, represent this arrange ment to be provisional, They have ouly ceographically separated the use of their rights of soveregnty until a fresh under standing has bern arrived at. It js, therefore, necessary to wait before pass ing a defiite judgment upon their policy in the question of thie Duchies.” The Moraing Post says:—“We are en abled to publish, upon the aathority of the best information derived from Berlin, the interesting fact that, in addition to the Counvention of Gastein, which was printed in fuil in onr impression on Mon day last, a series of sceret conditions were also agreed to between the high contracting partics. Os these conditions the following are the mest important Austria undertakes to ‘surveiller? the Duke of Auguastenburg in Holstcin—that is, to arrest or expel him on the slight est pretence. The Duchy of Holstein, which Austria is alone to oceupy, she tndertalies to' cede to Prussia on the pay ment of a pecanitary indemnity. In the two Duchics the Danish laws respecting the Press and the right of public meet ing are to he applied, and not the German laws, which are piuch lesssevere. Prus sia is to propose to the German Diet to guarantee all the possessions, German and non-German, of Austria.”’ The Debatli states that the rexotiations between the minor German States have resulted In a resolntion to abaudon the installation of the Duke of Aucnstenburg as a condition of any settlement of the Schieswig-Holstein question. The minor ptates will confine themselves solely to the malntenance of Federal right in the Duchivs. The official Buairische Zeitunz of Muanich deciares the romouar that vegetiations had taken place at Vienna between Ba varia, Saxo y and Wurtemburg, in ac cordance with which the mionor Stales would ecease to oppose the peliey of the ereat German powe:rs in the i‘)':."hi('S‘.'.'ig- Hols!ein qucstion, to be incorrvect. Ba varia, on the contrary, has, sinee the Conveuntion, become stiil more determin ed to take further steps in the Federal Diet, and maintains that the Duke of An eustenburg is alone entitled to the sover eignty of the Duchies, DENMARK. The Rigsraad was opened on Monday by the Presilent of the Counecil, who read the specch from the Throne. In this the Kingz announces that the chief reason for the counvoeation of the Rigs raad is to pass the draft for the modifi eation of the Coustitution. The Bill for this purpose now befere the House is the satie that waes reeently passed by the Laudsthing and rejected by thie Folke thing. The speech stated in conclasion, that the King was not altogether satisfi ed with the n:odification of the constitu tion proposed in the Bill. His Majesty would certainly oppose any further con cessions. SWEDEN. A Stockholm letter says that the object of the visit of the Grand Duke Constan tine to the Swedish Coart was to secure the alliance of Norway and Sweden with Russia in the event of a European confliet taking place. ITt is added that the twa Courts are now on very friendly terms, and that the Grand Duke had every rea son to be satisfied with his mission, MEXICO. b More successes are reported from Mex

The French Colonels De Courcy and Lia faille, the Belgian Colonel Vandersmissen, and the Austrian General Thon had each had an encounter with the Juarvists, who invariably were beaten, althongh Van dersmissen had but 850 DBelgians and Mexicans against 3,500 men, six guns and very scrong position held by the insur cont (teneral Arteaga. Nevertheless, he reports the complete rout of the enemy, with a loss of between 300 nud 400 dead and 165 prisoners, his artillery and a large gnantity of ammnnition. Tire total loss of the assailants is stated at less than 25 killed and wounded in the gallant Colo nel’s )':‘p():‘!. The Monitewr deelares this success as very important, and it would indecd be so 1f it assizted in bringiog about the pacification of the conntry. (From the Liverpool- Maid, Awvcust d.)

BBy §sii!:('\’ o Dove, F.S 8., (Member of the Couneil and Fellow of the Aetuaries’ lustitute,) Actuary of the Loyal Insurance Com pany. The Royal Insurance Company was es tablished in the year 1845, and its Share ho!ders assembled, yesterday, to receive from the Directors their twentieth Annu al Report. It ceased, long ago, to be regarded as a promising exper tment ;and, having passed through the perils of in fancy, and the vicissitudes of youth, to a healthy and virzorous: maturity, it may appeal with confidence to the results of a protracted experience for proof of the soundness of the principles upon which its promaters proceeded, and of the ex emplary care and prudence with which those principles have been earried out. If there had been any latent fallacy—any inherent defeet—any fundamental error of caleulation—or anything like laxity of practice, upon the part of those who have been entrusted with the manage ment of the Company’s affuirs, it must, before this, have been bronght to light; for time, which “tries all things,” makes sad” havoe- with insurance institutions whose foundations are insecure, whose proposals are delusive, and whose pro mises are ineapable of realisation. Os up wards of six handred oflices which have been projected, within the United King dom, during the twenty years which have elapsed since the Royal Insuraunce Company was launched, comparatively few are maintaining, at this moment, an independent and prosperous existence; and we may venture to affirm that, of those few, not one has hitherto achieved a measure of success at all 1o Le compad ed with that which the “Royal” has been enabled to attain. One-half of these pro jeets were still-born; and of the 310 which, up to the close of last year, had been brought into actual operation, a ve ry large proportion collapsed, upon the first shock of adversary, to the grievous injury and disappointment of those who had been credulous enough to irust tu glowing prospectuses and high-sounding professions. Some died, and made no sT¢e GCROLE AVIS. sion. Some were wound-up— and at least sixty are still. winding-up—in the Court of Chuncery. Some were absorb ed by amaleamation into stronger and mors {lourishing coneerns; and thos saved their poliey-holders from utter aud irretrievable loss, The survivors, as we have satd, are very sow 3 and fewer sill are they which not ouly live bu! thrive.

A similar Bonus had been declared in the year 1865; and going back; as it did, to the very origin ot the Company, it was considered, with good reason, as satisfactory as it was unexam pled.

PROCEEDINGS OF THI COLONIAL COUNCII J FOR ST. CROIX. NI()NDAY THE 4TH SEPTEMBER 1865, forenoon at 11 o’clock, the Colonial Council held their Bth meeting. All the members were present. The minutes of the former session were read. The Chairman informed the Council, that the following cases had bLeen laid on the table for perusal: a proposal of the Government concerning aid from the Immigration-Fund for the promotion of the importation of laborers hy private parties, and a proposal of 3 members (Heilbuth, Christmas and Sarauw,) for the ap pointment of a permanent committee for the purpose of investigating memorials addresged to the Council econcerning the economy of the Island. The firstmentioned proposal was en tered on the order of the day, according to the notice issued to the members. The Council proceeded to the discussion of the cases on the order of the day. 1. The proposal of the 3rd member for Chris tiansted’s town (Holstein) for the repeal of tho Ist sentence of 8 of the plan of organisation of the forces, dated sth June 1851, together with the amendment given in by the proposer and the Ist member for Frederiksted’s town (Sarauw). The proposer stated the motives for tho mo tion. His Excellency the Governor stated his opin ion regarding the form of the proposal, and pointed out, that the existing practice relative to the nomination of officers for 4 years was founded on economy in behalf of the colonies, to this effect that the eventual pensions are borne by the mothercountry. Ilis Excellency the Governor led the attention to the wording of the proposal. Several members expressed their opinion in favor of the proposal. The proposer modified the redaction of the proposal in accordance with the remarks of His Fixcellency, whereupon the Council resolved, with 16 votes against 1, to recommend the proposal to the Governor. 2. Petitions for the unchanged continuance of the system of weights. The sth crown-member (Walker) and the 2nd member for Christiansted’s town (Ponta vice), who had adopted the petitions as their own, respectively for Frederiksted and Chris tiansted, stated the motives to the memorials.

Petition from P. B. Hatchett for remunera tion for sérvices executed in the printing office for the St. Croix Burgher Council. p The 3rd crown member (Dußois) introduced the case as his own, observing, that the memo “rial had been laid before the said Council after he had retired; thus he was ignorant of the treatment of the case by the Council. S Te CRODLX AV S, His Excellency the Governor informed the Council of the nature of and matters connected with the case, whereupon the Council resolved, with 16 votes against 1 to make over the peti tion to the Governor’s decision. 4.
