His Majesty, in reply to their address, said:—“ I rejoice with you at the successes attained by the valour of the allied armies, whereby an end has been put to your and your compatriots' sufferings. The greatness of the sacrifices made in the interest of your cause affords you a fresh guarantee tha not merely passing alleviation but also lasting satisfaction will be given to the just claims of your country. Providence has imposed duties upon me whioh I cannot permit desires threatening the general peace to override. I confidently hope that an honourable and assured futare may be attained, in every way corresponding to the principles of right and conditions of your welfare.”The Danish Minister of War has proposed to the King to dismiss General de Meza from the army. This is not the first, nor will it be tha last instance in which a faithful public servant has been sacrificed in concession to the senseless clamour of the populace; and we in England are not entitled to cast the first stone at the Danish Government for its treatment of the unfortunate officer who lately commanded its army, whilst our own annals record the judicial murder of Admiral Byng to sustain a falling Administration.The growing intensity of public feeling in Schleswig on the other side is illustrated by the fact that the Flensburger Zeitung publishes its Copenhagen news under the head of “ foreign intelligence.”The Zeitung, however, does not represent the universal feeling in the duchy, as will be seen from the following extract from a Gorman paper, the Cologne Gazette Falsehoods do not last. A few weeks ago the orators of the meetings proved in the midst of enthusiastic acclamations that all Schleswig was German. It was even said that the duchy was more than German. The orators pretended that all Schleswig waited with impatience the moment for throwing off the Danish yoke. But this was not enough for the demagogues. According to them the inhabitants of the north were in no way Danes, and did not wish to become bo. Falsehoods do not last. No sooner had the German troops advanced into central Schleswig than all these perspectives vanished. Already in^he Flensburg district, although it is considered as belonging to the mixed population territory, the soldiers had found themselves surrounded by people who did not understand German, and whose language was not more intelligible to Gormans. Every letter, without exception, shows that the rural population of these districts have no idea that they are akin with Germany. Our correspondents from whom we request merely the simple truth, have on several occasions made observations upon the langaage and the dispositions of the population of northern Schleswig. According to the ultras who rule publio opinion in a great part of Germany, especially in the south, the towns are completely in favour of Germany. On the other hand, we read in a private letter from FJensborg, “ Generally people here are absolutely Danish.” An Austrian officer said, in speaking of the concealed hostility and the cold demeanour of the inhabitants of Flensburg, that it is the same in Italy. Another letter said that the commission for obtaining military quarters was entirely favourable to Denmark, and that the superior officers had all been quarteredXu thorough Danes; and as it will be admitted that these sera were not quartered iu the most inferior houses, it follows that it is not merely •• the populace ” which is animated with favourable dispositions towards Denmark. It has been stated, too, that the German party in Flensburg was discouraged and anxions, even at the very moment when the town waa in the hands of the Germans. The Augsburg Gazette says the same thing. “ As I announced to you some days ago,” says its correspondent, “ the Schleswig Hol-ateinera of Flensburg complain of the discouragement of the population who sympathise with the Germans in this town. The proposition in ado in the Municipal Council, to break off all communication with the Court of Aldermen and compel it to resign, has been rejected. The famous Dane Siegealoewe remains in office without being disturbed.” In the same journal complaint is made “ that a great number of the partisans of Germany are opposed to separation from Denmark.” It is not necessary to cite additional evidence All this proceeds from German sources; but as we have just read in the Mercury of Suabia that Apearade has always been distinguished by its German sentiments, we wish to refute that assertion by a fact emanating from an authority that will not be questioned. Directly the German troops entered Apenrade, where the head-quartera of General Wrangel are established at this moment, the German party hastened to make known the sentiments by which it was animated. On this,occasion the Schleswig-Holstein journals themselves observed, that hitherto Apenrade had been considered a notoriously Danish town.TVEeuperi 33s. pi carriiu No. and Ccon appBAIIAndre*FinsbuiGrocersNervi pared C Cocoa, Igeneral t numerou from pail the Gum the inflan tending t no Child Parents s ▲MERIC the name* London ( the StampHeni toltention, by Dhemists, with glass tions for it and throug jennine nr ment Stamott!e.Sold in I arringdon iewbery ai Paul's Chw Sanger, OxfeOUGH SUM1KE.which are da from the mo most effects Cough and a Sold in boxes.
