THE KING'S SPEECH. COPENHAGEN, Die. 21. The Danish Ragweed was closed to-day. The Minister President read the message from the King. His Majesty says :—" At the time when this Assembly met in 1855 it was hoped that the con stitutional relations of the monarchy were settled. Such would have been the case had the Federal Diet confined itself to its competency. The constitution of the 18th November rested upon the same basis as that of the present constitution for the whole monarchy. That constitution also separated the common affairs of the monarchy from those appertaining specially to the respective pro vinces composing is. It conferred no competence upon the Rigsraad to interfere in matters hitherto concerning the provinces alone." The message then states that his Majesty in tended to give to his federal provinces the same freetkaa-asul. isdapimulsars, -thus restlicias Alma 00601111042 with the monarchy possible. "The new constitution was no obstacle to this end. It would therefore be a misunderstanding on the Fort of the Powers not to recognise the treaties on that account. The King then proceeds to say A desire to dismember the Danish monarchy has arisen in Germany. We hope, however, that Europe will nevertheless maintain our right to the hereditary succession. We have fulfilled every resolution of the Federal Diet concerning the Federal provinces. German troops have occupied Holstein and Lanen burg, although the latter has recently testified its satisfaction and loyalty to Denmark. " Although we do not recognise the execution on the part of the German Confederation as justifiable, we withdraw our troops to this side of the Eider, in order to avoid a collision." The Pddrelandett of this evening says :—" The Ambassadors of France and Sweden have abstained from exercising any pressure upon the Danish Government. The Swedish Ambassador has even received orders to support Denmark." The same journal says :—"All the Holstein sub officers of the garrison of this city have volun tarily expressed their desire to take pad in the campaign." THE DANISH DIFFICULTY. DRESDEN. Dm 21.

BERLIN, Dia 21 In to-day's sitting of the Upper House the draft of the address proposed by Count von Aniline- Boytezenburg came under discussion. Dr. Tell kampf and Herren von Groner and Von Kampf bausen and their adherents moved an amendment to the effect that Prussia should withdraw from the London treaty. This amendment did not, however, meet with sufficient support in thehouse, and after an animated debate the address was almost unanimously adopted. FRANKFORT. Dm. 21. A meeting of 900 members of the different Ger man representative bodies was held to-day, and numerously attended by the public. The follow ing resolutions were carried almost unanimously : " That united endeavours should be made to secure the recognition of the rights of Prince Fre derick of Augustenburg. —That the Federal Diet be induced to recognise Prince Frederick as Duke of Schleswig-Holstein.—That the validity of his rights be enforced, and the separation of the duchies from Denmark carried out; and finally, that the independence and inseparable union of the duchies be established." A committee of 36 memhers was appointed to carry out the above resolutions. This committee adopted, as the basis of their operations, the legal activity of the German nation for the carrying out of the rights of the duchies, and those of their legitimate duke. HAMBURG, Disc. 21. The police have just prohibited the military exercises carried on in the TurwhaUe, which they have closed and occupied.

She left the Cape on the 20th ; St, Helena 28th ult.; and Ascension on the 2nd lost; she brings 39 paseesgers. Bishop Colenao's trial commenced at the Cape on the 17th ult. in St. George's Cathedral before the Metropolitan Bishop of C►pe Town and two suffragans, the Bishop of Graham's Tows and the Bishop of the Orange Free State. The accusing clergy, the Dean of Cape Town and the A rchilea coos of Graham's Town and George Town were present to support the charges they bad preferred. Dr. Bleck, curator of the Grey Library, attended on behalf of Bishop Coleuso, aed read a letter from the bishop denying the jurisdiction of the court, and handed in a formal protest against the proceedings. The Dean of Cape Town supported the charges in en eloquent and forcible speech, characterised by deep re search and great ability. The trial was expected to extend over several days. The question at issue would finally per 'sloths hands of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. A civil action was pending against the Dutch Reformed Church for suspending from the ministry the Rev. Mr. Robs. oc • charge of heresy. The Federal steamship Vanderbilt returned to Cape Tow n from the Mauritius, and remained in Table Bay until October 27. She then proceeded to A ngra Pequina, the Confederate rendezvous, and carried away a quantity of calm stored on Penguin Island, which war annexed to Cape Colony, two years acne.. The Vanderbilt also seized the British barque Saxon, of Cape Town (lu British waters it is said), that vessel boing supposed to have been laden with part of the cargo of the Federal barque Conrad, captured by the Alabama, and converted by Captain Semmes into • tender to the Alabama, and renamed the Tuscaloosa. The Vanderbilt then put • prize crew on board the Saxon, and seat her to New York for condemnation, the crew of the Saxon, with the exceptio• of the mate, said to have been shot by • Federal ofßeer, were transferred to a coasting vessel, and forwarded to Table Bay. There had twee destructive storms and heavy floods in the eastern province. Provisions continued plentiful and dump. Trade was reviving, THE MUSD= IN Warantas—The magisterial investigation with reference to the murder of the Kings wood coal hawker was resumed on Saturday, and lasted seven hours. It bee been decided that there boo case wawa the two younger wieners, and the evideoce against old Hicks and Kendall, while strong *Dough to justify suspicion, is, as the matter deo& at present, far from being conclusive as to their guilt. One of the most important points of evidence brought out on Saturday was the coo. venation between old Hicks and Kendall, overheard by the witness aag.t.

PROCLAMATION OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF POLAND. BERLIN, Dec. 21. Another proclamation of the Polish National Government has been published in Warsaw, in which the origin and object of the insurrection are again stated. The proclamation points out as (stamped, ld. Additional.) principles of the movement, " Equality of all in habitants before the law and free landed property foe the peasantry. The proclamation states in con clusion that the insurrection will be continued with undiminished vigour." PRINCE NAPOLEON'S LETTER. PARIS, Die. 21.

She left New York at nooa on the 12th inst., and has made the voyage in 8 days 19 hours, being the fastest passage yet made by a screw steamer. She brings the United States mails, 146 passengers, and 1,097,893 dole., and 2,000 i. in specie. (Per the City of Now York.) NEW YORK, Dec. 11. Emma. A short summary of Mr. Davis's message, de. livered to the Confederate Congress on the 7th, has been received here. Mr. Davis speaks despondingly of the loss of Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and many other points. There has been no improvement in foreign rela tions since last January's message. On the con. trary, there is a greater divergence in the conduct of European nations, assuming a positively un friendly character. The marked partiality of England iu favour of the Federals is strongly evinced in their decisions regarding the blockade, as well as in their marked difference of conduct on the subject of the purchase of supplies by both belligerents. This difference has been conspicuous since the commencement of the war. Prompt and efficacious remedy for the present condition of the currency is necessary to secure the full performance of the operations of government. Mr. Davis re commeuds taxation. The currency must be promptly reduced, to prevent the present inflated prices reaching more extravagant rates. Mr. Davis recommends the abolition of the sub stitute system and the modification of the exemp tion law, so that the army may be largely increased as rapidly as possible. He regrets the suspension of the exchange of prisoners, and that communica tion with the trans-Mississippi districts is so greatly obstructed. He says :—" The enemy refuse pro posals for the only peace possible between us. The only hope for peace now is in the vigour of our re sistance." Advices from Charleston to the Bth state that the Federals have ceased firing on Fort Sumter, and are altering their batteries, entrenching Fort Gregg to the eastward. One monitor has timber around her to protect her from torpedoes. Southern despatches state that General Long street has raised the siege of Knoxville in conse quence of reinforcements reaching General Burn side. Longstreet fell hack to Morristown, where he would probably make a stand. He lost 600 men at Knoxville. Southern despatches from Dalton to the Bth inst. state that the Federal cavalry had been driven a mile beyond Ringold. Some despatches assert that the Federals have been routed At Sollersville, Ken tucky, with a loss of numerous prisoners, and that the Confederates have made a raid on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad near Pocahontas, captur ing 400 and killing 300 Federals. The Senate of Georgia has ordered the enrol ment of all citizens over fifteen years of age for the defence of the State. The people of Tazewell, Tennessee, are deter mined to sell corn at 1 dol. per bushel, and were freely furnishing the government with one-tenth of their crepe. President Lincoln has pardoned General Gaunt, of Arkansas, and returned him his property, ex cept the negroes, under his new amnesty pro clamation. General Banks has returned to New Orleans. The plot to seize the Chesapeake was matured at St. John's, New Brunswick. Her cargo consisted of fat for a Southern port, it being intended to run her into Wilmington. Captain Pooker, formerly of the privateer Retri bution, went on board the Chesapeake at St. John's to take command of her. President Lincoln's health is improving. The Etna and Bremen have arrived out, and the Canada has reached Halifax. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK, Dsc. 11. EvErnrc. Money tight.

Federal despatches confirm the report that Long street is at Morristown, East Tennessee. The monitor Weehawken, lying at the entrance of Charleston harbour, stink suddenly at her an chorage during a gale. She went down very rapidly. Four engineers and twenty-six of her crew were drowned. She is lying in five fathoms of water, and will be raised, when the cause of her sinking will be ascertained. A fuller summary of President Davis's message has been received. H 7 sari : " Whatever obeti- [TWOPENCE nacy may be displayed by the enemy in his despe rate sacrifices of money, life, and liberty, in the hope of enslaving us, experience of mankind has too conclusively shown the superior endurance of those fighting for horn; liberty, and independence, to permit any doubt of the result." He bitterly criticises Earl Russell's policy in regard to the blockade ; and referring to Earl Russell's speech that Englishmen would have been for ever infa mous if, for the sake of their interests, they had violated the law of nations and made war with the slaveholding States against the Federal States, says :—" Earl Russell would probably have omitted his remark regarding the slaveholding States if he had remembered that those States were when colonies made slaveholding by the direct exer cise of England's power, whose interests in the slave trade were then supposed to require that her colonies should be slaveholding." President Davis says there are only two measures applicable to the present condition of foreign relations. One is to imitate the wrong under which the Confederate States suffer, namely, to retaliate by declaring a paper blockade of the Federal coasts, and capturing all neutral vessela trading to Northern porta. " This course I do not recommend, although it would only be following the precedents of France and England in the Berlin and Milan decrees. " - The other measure is not so objectionable. The Paris declaration provides that a neutral Sag coven an enemy's goods, except contraband of war. The South acceded to this declaration by the treaty of August, 1861, but the consideration tendered for • that concession has been withheld, and she is there fore not bound by the compact. As, however, the South approves of the principle of the Paris decla ration, she will uphold it, and hope for redress from the returning sense of justice of the great people, who will awake to the consciousness that the war in which the South is engaged ought rather to be a reason for forbearance of an advantage than the occasion for unfriendly conduct. THE GREAT 'IRS IN THE CITY. A closer examination yesterday of the track of the recent fire in Wood-street shows in • striking mairaer how much it was confined to a class of buildings the interior arrangements and means of communication of which tippetr to have been made in defiance or in ignorance of the prima plea which now regulate such matters, under the operatics of the Metropolitan Building Act. The warehouses and aloes which have perished seem to have bees sop,. mid from each other by thin lath and plaster pants tioos for the most part, and only in one instance wee there an iron door between oce part of the interior of the same building and another, such as is now commonly used and made imperative, iudeetl, in the construction of warehouses ae an invaluable means of shutting off communication in cases of fire. That iron door, too, which remains uninjured, would have been completely effectual in arresting the flames in that direction had they not penetrated by • vulnerable point into the part of the building which it protected. The ties of iron for safety against fire was most conclusively proved by a very remarkable circum stance. The large and haodarrne warehouse of Messrs. J. and B. Morley, Moeda at the corner of Gresham and Wood streste, overlooked by a large window on the ground floor at the back the little court in which the fire originated, and to which it was at first confined. This large window was protected on the outside by • folding iron shutter, and that more again-t robbery than fire. On this occasion, for some time, the flames played fiercely but harmlessly about the outside of the window so guarded by the iron shutter. Had they ones entered Mime. Mors ley 's premises at that point, the stock stored inside, sad estimated at from 210.0001. to 300.0001., would inevitably have been destroyed, If, indeed, the devastation would have ended in that oes vast pile of buildings. Upon such a cinder condition of safety did property almost fabulous in value, and belonging to a single firm, depend in this case. The ruins, consisting for the most part of large muses of charred timber, show how largely wood rather than brick had 'peen u sed in the construction of the booms ' which have perished. The fire. isdeed, has literally followed in the track of the combustible material, and oo each side of the gap which it has left iragepbles of brick, some of them supposed to be 300 years old and which the flames were powerless to harm, remain staking. It is the opinion of Mr. Woodthorpe, the district surveyor for the northern division of London, who visited the spot yesterday, that but for those formidable old walla the whole man of warehouses forming the east side of Wood-street sod the west of Milk-street, right up to Cheapside, and including with their contents some of the moat valuable in the city of London, would have bees destroyed. Captain Shaw, too, the chief of the London Fire Brigade, who was out for the first time after his recent dangerous illness, and could not resist the temptation to go and see the place expressed his amazement that in • neighbour. hood so &mill packed the conflagration had been confined to so oomparatively small an area. The truth is that the promptitude with which the 'testi fire-engines, six or seven in number, were brought into action, and the resist less vigour with which they played on the firs, materially checked its program from the first, nod that in spite of difficulties experienced in bodieg access to it only through a few blind court+ and alleys. The firemen had at immi nent risk to conduct their hose over the tops of lofty pies of houses both is Wood-street arid Milk-street, and through little by-ways, before the engines (thirteen in n 11) could be brought to bear on the burning mass. Fortunately, the trade books of Messrs. Grant, who are the largest W irers, were preserved intact in an iron sale on their pre mises ; but about 300 people to whom they gave employ ment have boss suddenly thrown out of work. The firm is understood to be insured to the amount of 37,0001., that sum being spread over eight different insurance offices. Their stock consisted mostly of underclothing of all kinds, shirts, neckties, umbrellas, and parasols, of all of which they were manufacturers on • large Kale. In ore room alone on the third floor they bad 1,200 dozen of Ise flannel shirts stored, all of which have bees burnt. They occupied four large warehouses four stories high , two of which have been completely, destroyed, with their valuable contents. Messrs. Morley, notwithstanding the risk they ran, did not suffer to an extent at all commensurate with the loss sus tained by Meant Grant. It ir true their shirt factory oritli many valuable machines, has been buret, but it was not a place in which they kept any very considerable quantity of stock, and they only estimate their loss, which is covered by insurance, at about 4,0304 or 5,000/. An underground communication existed between the @hit factory which has been destroyed and another part of their very extensive premises, and there, too, the laity afforded by au iron door, which shut off one place from the other in the sub terraneau passage, was established by the result. A con siderable amount of salvage was being collected from among the ruins of Messrs. Grant's warehouses yesterday ; but of Messrs. Morley's factory and its content+, or of the stocks of Mr. Bunting. Messrs. Henry, and Mr. Gibson, the other sufferers, not a vestige remains.— Times. FZDZILAL PROWL= MAP.—Notary. Bacon and Co., of Faterooster•rw, have published what they style a Federal Progreso Map of America—that is to say, a polit:cal and military map, ooloored so as to show the territory le covered by the Federal armies since the war commenced.
