FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1871. 3 EKOLAA'D'H Ohl.lOA TtOAK. hAT PRITAIN B TTlKATIM 01" nUAAHTY HER OBM(ATIONH TO TRK IKRT OF THB WOULD, f 'wm tk rail Hall Gazette. The present moment offers a fitting oppor tnnity for taking stock, ai it were, of oar in ternational liabilities. In IKM, during the J'ranco-Anatriao war, an impression got afloat among ns tliht we were in Rome way bound ty tbe European settlement of 1815 to secure to Austria the continued possession of her Italian prcinees. Under thee cirovunstanoe the House of Commons addrexsed the Crown for "copies of such parts of all treaties and conventions now existing Hud still obligatory as contain an engagement of guarantee under which tho Government of tbn country Is engaged eipreshly, or ly construction an 1 inference, separately or in conjunction with any other pver or powers, to interfere by force of arms, or by armed demonstra tion, or by the contribution of any military contingent or pecuniary subsidy, to attack or defend any Government or nation with re ference to its internal arrangements or foreign relations, or any other contingency whatsoever." Since the return to this ad dress was presented we have concluded the Luxemburg Treaty of lKi',7, and the dupli cate treaties with France and Frussia for the further protection of Belgium, made at the commencement of the ponding war, and terminable on the restoration of peace. With these three exceptions, the treaties of guaraUee, or, more properly, of guaranty, which we still admit to be in force, are pretty nearly the buuio as those which we admitted to be in force in 1S.V. The countries to which thoy have ' reft-raaoe are Bel gium, Greece, Sardinia, Switzerland, iJ rtngal, Prussia, Turkey, and the United States. The lirtit treaty named in the return is that between Great Britain, Austria, France, Prussia, Jliissia, and the Netherluu ls relative to tbo separation of Belgium from Holland. It is dated April i:t, 18IV.), and mpersedes the treaty of November l., 1S;U. But the hecond article of the treaty of lrt.'l!) renews the guaranty of the independence, integrity, and neutrality of Belgium by the five powers contained in 2"th article of tho treaty of 18.il. The next treaties are those between Great Britain, Franco, llussia, and Bavaria relative to the sovereignty of Greece. The convention of May 7, lS.'Jli, erects Greece into a kingdom, and sotiles the crown on Prince Otho of Bavaria. It likewise makes certain provisions with respect to the royal revenue and national debt. The convention of April HO, lfc.'j:!, guarantees thesaccesnion to the Greek throne in the line of Trinco Otho, or, that failing, in thelinesof Prince Luitpold and Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, from male to male, in order of primogeniture. We come, then, to a treatyj between Great JUritain, Austria, Frnnce, Prussia, Russia, and Swit zerland, dat'.d ilay 20, 18.17, by which the KiDg of Prussia renounces his sovereign rights over the principality of Neufchatel and the county of Valengin, assigned to him by the treaty of Vienna, and joins the other powers in guaranteeing their future connec tion with Switzerland. We then arrive at a series of treaties between England (or Great Britain) and Portugal. The earliest of them is a treaty of alliance conoluded between "the Lord Edward, King of Eugland and France, and the Lord Ferdinand, King of Portugal and Algarve," "given and done in the royal city of London, at the great cathedral church of the same, at the Festival of the New Solemnity of the Body of Christ, that is to say, on the lGth day of the month of June, in the year of our Lord i:$73, of the Iudiction the 11th, and of the Pontificate of the Lord Pope Gregory the XI the 3d year." It is an engagement of mutual guaranty of each sovereign's do minions. It was confirmed and enlarged by another treaty of May 9, i:i8fi. It is followed by others of like import of 1054, 1G00, 1703, and ISlO. The treaty, signed at Vienna, January 12, 1815, provides by Article III that: "The treaty of a'llance concluded at Rio de Janeiro on the 19th of February, 1S10, being founded on clr cnmBtances of a temporary nature which have hap pily ceased to exist, tbe said treaty is hereby de clared to be void In all Its parts, and of no eirect, without prejudice, however, to the ancient treaties of alliance, Irteudshlp, and guarantee which have so long and so happily subsisted between the two crowns, and which are hereby renewed by the high contracting parties and acknowledged to be of full force and effect." To Prussia we are by the 17th article o the Treaty of Vienna under the obligation, in common with Austria, ltussia, and France, of guaranty with respect to the "possession in full property and sovereignty" of her Saxon provinces. It was to this obligation of guaranty that Mr. Disraeli referred at the end of last session when Parliament was discuss ing the possible consequences of the Franco Prussian war, and when the French seemed more likely to be the invading than the in vaded belligerent. We have also guaranteed with the other powers the observance of the treaty of March 1C, 181(5, be tween Sardinia and the Swiss Confederation relating to the neutrality of the provinces of Chablais and Faucigny. We have with France guaranteed the integrity of the kingdom of Sweden and Norway by treaty signed November 17, 1855, against aggression on the part of llussia, and have "engaged to furnish sufficient naval and military forces to co-operate for the pur pose of resisting" it. Under the treaties of 1815 the perpetual independence, integrity, and neutrality of Switzerland is placed under the guarantee of the powers. Wa have guar anteed the independence and integrity of Turkey by the treaty of March 30, 185(5. We have guaranteed the sovereignty of the Sultan over tbe nnited principalities of Moldavia and wallacbia by tbe treaty of August lit 1858. Finally, by convention dated April !, 1850, between Great Britain and the United Stales relative to the establishment or a com munication by ship canal between the Atlan tic and Pacific Oceans, the neutrality of the said ship canal ia mutually guaranteed, and it is provided that neither party shall withdraw from the guaranty without first Riving six months' notice to the other. We have, at any rate, plenty of irons in the fire, and some of them may pernaps one aay uecouie unplea santly warm for handling. FRIGHTFUL NARRATIVE.
