THE DUCHIES.

Letters from Rendsburg contain details of thel
great meeting held there on Sunday last. The
number of persons present was about 40,000 or
50,000, principally inhabitants of Sleswig from the
rural districts. A large platform was erected,
which was ornamented with flags of the duchies
and a bust of the Prince of Augastenburg. The
speeches were abort, and the assembly voted the
resolutions by acclamation. The first was in favour
of a separation from Denmark, the formation of
an independent State of Sleawig-Holstein andee
Frederick VUL, and the convocation of • repre-
sentative assembly in the duchies. The second,
while thanking the Austro-Prussian armies for
their aid, expressed a desire that natives of Sleawig
should be permitted to cooperate, arms in hand, in
continuing the work of emancipation.

by Austria and Prussia will be continued."
The same journal adds :—" Should this news be

the maximum of the German demands, and that the
Apenrade and Tondern line of demarcation was still
