NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Settlement Arrived Ai. (Received 7.20 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, April 7. The Crown Prince of Sweden, who is acting as Regent during the illness of King Oscar, has proposed a scheme of settlement, placing the Swedish and Norwegian Consuls under a common Minister for Foreign Affairs in matters affecting the relations with foreign Powers, and maintaining the union of the two countries on a basis of equality. [A recent Xew York "Herald ,- special from Berlin said: The latest reports from Norway are causing considerable anxiety here, for it is recognised that the Ministerial crisis is only a transition stage of a national .crisis which may end in civil war between Norway and Sweden. There seems no doubt that the Norwegian party is determined to bring about a separation between Norway and Sweden by force of arms, if necessary. I There is little chance of the Swedish party giving way, as the Swedish fleet is in condition to blockade JMorway and bring the commercial life of the country to a standstill.]
