TIIE PUBLIC LAW OF FINLAND.
26 and 27. Ministers of the Empire exercising
functions for the Grand Duchy.
(26.) The Ministry for Foreign Affairs.—
Matters affecting tlie relations of Finland witli
foreign countries are not reported to tlie
Emperor by tlie Minister-Secretary of State for
Finland. The Union of the Grand Duchy to
Russia having as its consequence a community
of relations with foreign powers, the authority
of the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs
extends to Finland as well. This Ministry
addresses itself to the Minister-Secretary of
State for Finland, either to ascertain the
views of the Finnish Senate on international
questions affecting the interests of Finland, or
to obtain such information as may be thought
necessary to represent those interests.
Treaties ratified by the Emperor, and not
relating exclusively to the affairs of the
Empire, are communicated to the Finnish Senate
and published in the collection of the laws of
Finland.
