[Convention of Olmutz.] each, who will have to agree upon the measures to be taken in common. Establishment of Legal state of things in Electoral Hesse and Holstein. § 3. As it is, however, for the general interest that both in Electoral Hesse and in Holstein, there should be established a legal state of things conformable with the Fundamental Laws of the Confederation, and rendering the fulfilment of the Federal duties possible; as, moreover, Austria has given to the full, in her own name, and in that of the States allied with her, the guarantees for the security of the interests of Prussia required by the latter in regard to the occupation of the Electorate, the two Governments of Austria and Prussia agree, in order to proceed with the discussion of the questions, and without prejudice to the future decision, as follows: Maintenance of Tranquillity in Hesse-Cassel. A. In Electoral Hesse, Prussia will oppose no impediment to the action of the Troops called in by the Elector, and, therefore, will issue the necessary orders to the Generals in command there, to allow a thoroughfare by the military roads occupied by Prussia. The two Governments of Austria and Prussia will, in concert with their Allies, call upon His Royal Highness the Elector to give his consent for one battalion of the Troops called in by the Electoral Government, and one Royal Prussian battalion to remain at Cassel, in order to Maintain Tranquillity and Order. Austria and Prussia to send to Holstein Commissioners to demand Cessation of Hostilities. B. After consultation with their Allies, Austria and Prussia will send to Holstein, and that as speedily as possible, joint Commissioners, who shall demand of the Stadtholdership, in the name of the Confederation, the Cessation of Hostilities, the withdrawal of the troops behind the Eyder, and the reduction of the Army to one-third of its now existing strength, threatening common execution in case of refusal. On the other hand, both Governments will endeavour to prevail on the Danish Government not to station in the Duchy of Schleswig more troops than are necessary for the preservation of Tranquillity and Order. [Convention of Olmutz.] Conferences to be held at Dresden. § 4. Ministerial Conferences will immediately take place at Dresden. The invitation to them will be issued by Austria and Prussia conjointly, and will be so arranged that the Conferences may be opened about the middle of December. (L.S.) SCHWARZENBERG. (L.S.)

Danish Succession.] No. 229.-PROTOCOL between Denmark and Russia, relative to the Danish Succession.-Warsaw, 24th May. 1851.* 5th June, (Translation as laid before Parliament.) His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, and His Majesty the King of Denmark, taking into consideration the engagements entered into between their august predecessors, in the years 1767 and 1773; † Considering that, as well for establishing the tranquillity of the North of Europe on a durable footing, as for removing all that could then, or for the future, give rise to misunderstandings or differences in the august House of Oldenburg, the Emperor Paul, of glorious memory, then Grand Duke of Russia, renounced for himself, as also for his heirs and descendants, in favour of His Majesty King Christian VII, of glorious memory, as also of the heirs of his Royal Crown, all his rights and pretensions to the Duchy of Schleswig in general, and to the heretofore princely portion of that Duchy in particular; That in the same manner, and from the same motives, His Majesty the Emperor Paul ceded for himself, as also for his descendants, heirs, and successors, all that he possessed in the Duchy of Holstein, whether in common with His Majesty the King of Denmark, or separately; Considering that this Act of Cession of the Duchy of Holstein has only been made expressly in favour of His Majesty King Christian VII, and of his male lineage, and also eventually in favour of the late Prince Frederick, the King's brother, and of the male lineage of that Prince, and that the eventualities which the terms themselves of this Act of Cession admitted, have already in part been realised by the extinction of the male lineage of King Christian VII, or may be realised at a period more or less near, without the said transactions having in any manner provided for them; Foreseeing the dangers which this silence in existing Treaties may cause to the Danish Monarchy, if, on the extinction of the male line actually on the throne of Denmark, the lex regia should * See Treaty between Great Britain, Austria, &c., and Denmark of 8th May, 1852. + See Appendix. |
