DANIEL MENSI, RITTER VON KLARBACH. [Protocol of Warsaw. 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. [Protocol of Warsaw. Danish Succession.] receive its pure and simple application to one part of the Monarchy; Have acknowledged the obligation and the right, as successors of the august Contracting Parties, to the engagements of 1767 and 1773, to come to an understanding as to the ulterior arrangements most suited to the double objects which they have had in view. In consequence, the Undersigned, after mature examination of all the questions connected with this affair, have agreed amongst themselves, under the express reservation of the high approbation of their respective Sovereigns, and have embodied in the present Protocol the points which follow: 1. The objects proposed in the interest of the Peace of the North, as well as that of the internal Peace of the august House of Oldenburg, namely, the maintenance of the Integrity of the Danish Monarchy, can only be realised by means of an arrangement summoning to the Succession of the whole of the States actually united under the sceptre of His Majesty the King of Denmark, the male lineage solely, to the exclusion of women. 2. The male lineage of Prince Christian of Schleswig-HolsteinSonderbourg-Glücksbourg and of his consort the Princess Louise of Hesse, unites in itself the rights of inheritance, which, on the extinction of the male line actually reigning in Denmark, devolve upon it in virtue of the Renunciations of Her Royal Highness the Landgravine Charlotte of Hesse, of her son Prince Frederick of Hesse, and of her daughter the Princess Mary of AnhaltDessau. 3. Wishing on his part to complete the Titles resulting from these Renunciations, and thus to effect an arrangement which would be of such high importance and interest for the maintenance of the Danish Monarchy in its Integrity, His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, as chief of the elder branch of Holstein Gottorp, would be ready to renounce the eventual Rights which belong to him in favour of Prince Christian of Glücksbourg, and of his male lineage. Nevertheless it is understood: That the eventual Rights of the two Younger Branches of Holstein Gottorp should be expressly reserved; That those which the August Chief of the Elder Branch should abandon for himself and for his male lineage in favour of Prince Christian of Glücksbourg and of his male lineage, should be revived |
