EARL RUSSELL TO SIR A. PAGET.

Foreiga-0f604, July 6, 1864.

Sir,—The Danish Envoy in London has placed in my
bands a despatch which he hes received from Bishop
Moored, of which I send yon a copy. Her Majesty's govern-
meat sympathise with the King and people of Denmark in
the severe trial which they have been obliged to undergo.
Her Majesty's government reoopriss the justice of many of
the reproaches addressed by the Danish government to the
powers which, having been parties to the treaty of London,
have departed from is provisions, and under the guise of a
federal execution in Holstein and of a temporary occupation
in Sleewig have, in effect, subverted the authority of the
Bing of Denmark is these two duellist. But it is of urgent
importance to Denmark that the Danish government should
look their present situation in the fall. When during the
conference the Danish plenipotentiaries declared to the
plesipotentiariem of her Majesty that the lines of frontier
proposed by the German powers could not be aocebritd by
Denmark, her Majesty's plenipotentiaries felt o to
uk them hrw the Danish government could expect better
terms by war. Accordingly, the possession of Duppel and
of Almon—which the Prussian plenipotentiary supported by
the Austrian, proposed to recommend their governments to
leave to Denmark, if Denmark would at once accept •
frontier line to the north of Flensburg—is now out of the
question. A few days of war have dispelled all hope of the
renewal of Count %mature proposal. The latter part of
Bishopllf oorad'sdempaiedi expresses the hope that the powers
which have shows so great an interest in favour of Denmark
daring the negotiations will not abandon bar during the war.
It is true that the neutral powers, moved by an earnest de-
sire to preserve the independence of Denmark, and by
admiration of the gallant struggle made by • brave nation
in Do unequal a contest, have endeavoured moat zealously
to obtain for the Danish government such tame of pesos se
the manifest superiority of Austria acid Prussia in arms,
and the views entertained by Germany, would allow. Bat
I beg to remind the government of Denmark that while
her Majesty's government, in conjunctiva with the other
neutral powers, were uswilling to urge upon the Daniah
government the acceptance of terms which that govern-
ment deemed incompatible with the safety and honour of
Deomark, her Majesty's government have never engaged
themselves, nor oan they now same themselves, to sup-
port the Danish cause by force of arms, or to impose upon
Germany the conditions suggested in conference. Yon will
reed this despatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
give him • copy of Sic. (Signed) Itcaum.t.

NEWAPAPER CORRESPONDENTS AT THE SEAT OF
WAR. —I was writing in my tent yesterday when a Minis
bullet came whizzing through the canvas, passing just by
Captain Bradly, Captain Zaft, and Lieutenant Dawkena, of
General Wood's staff, who were sitting inside. It com.
pletely disturbed my reflective powers for the time being.
Another struck me lately in the breast, passing through
me cost and vest ; but, fortunately for me, I bad my port-
' folio full of paper inside, through which it also passed, bet
did me no serious injury. I intend carrying my life pre-
server home with me. Mr. Beanie, of the Cincinnati
Tunes, had his portfolio shot through in his hand, and Mr.
Furey, of the Cincinnati Ga:ptte, was at supper, when an
unceremonious shell came and took away his candle, leaving
him a dark subject. Here we get accustomed to such
things.—New lurk paper.
ESILORATION TO AMERICA.—The number of im-
migranta larded at this port since the commencement of the
present year is about 80,000, or some 20.000 in excess of
the number for the comeepooding period in 1863. A note-
worthy fact, in this connexioe, is the preponderance of
male irors4ranta, the statistics showing that two-thirds of
the arrivals this year are composed of males, sad of a
marked superiority of intelligence and thrift, as compared
with those of former years. There is said to be among
them, too, en unusual proportion of mechanics and farmers,
who bring with them small sums of mosey which. whoa
taken in the aggregate, forms no insignificant addition
the wealth of our country. It is estimated that we have
thus had mare than 20,000,000 of dollars added to the
material wealth of the country since the Lt of January
