THE WAR IN DENMARK.
HAMBURG, Apia, 2.

THE ASSAULT t p'O DYBBOL.
(nom on incuz, COMISPONDEST.)
SONDERBORG, MAUCH 28.

It is said that the Austro-Prussian troops intend
to turn the position of Dttppel by crossing over to
the Wand of Alsen very shortly by means of Aus-
trian pontoons. Everything is said to be prepared
for an important action.
The Hamburger Nachrichten announces that
6,000 Danes have beaten the Prussians near Voile,
at the positions lately abandoned by the Austrians.

At last the Prussians have made as assault upon
Dybbol-hill, and been most signally defeated.
Easter Monday of 1864 will henceforward rank
among Danish anniversaries, for to-day has wit-
nessed one of the completest victories which a small
army behind entrenchment' can ever gain over an
enemy five times its number. There was, of course,
no pursuit, and less than 30 prisoners were taken.
But without a moment's confusion, with every
man at his post, and with, comparatively speaking,
a trifling loos, the Danes received this long-expected
attack driving their assailants back on all points.
Steadily and swiftly the Danes hurried forth to
defend Dybbbl-hill against this sudden attempt.
Nothing can be said which would praise too much
their coolness and discipline. Though taken from
sleep at the most discouraging hour of the twenty-
' four, and marched out in the cold dreary darkesai
sett ea/Iran:gag, with a rattle—of "musketry and
the enemy's hurrahs close in trout—with every-
thing, in fact, to shake and bewilder them, the
Danish regiments were steady as on parade. Here
stood loyal Sleswigera, eager for a shot at invading
Germans ; there the splendid battalion of Foot
Guards, in their first battle of this war, but with a
flag that was tattered in a former victory of
Dybbbl (June 5, 1849), and with an appearance
truly imposing from their gigantic stature. Gunners
were ready in each battery along Alsaund, or
waited, quietly smoking, among their field pieces
near the cantonment. Men stood, axe in hand,
upon the floating bridges with cords and planks
for keeping them repaired. Order reigned amid
this exciting scene ; and if the Prussians had come
a little further, they would have met with& resist-
ance greater perhaps than even the redoubts
afforded. Behind all those artificial defences were
10,000 resolute Danish infantry, so cool and so
determined that, could the enemy have got be-
yond the flames and smoke which lay immediately
before hint, it would still have needed a stout heart
to venture forward. Nothing that their officers
could do sufficed to bring another Prussian column
against Dybbol-hill. Two or three very desperate
charges had been made just at first, but they lost
I all force at some distance from the batteries, and
were repulsed with ease. In vain the companies
re-formed and came up cheering loudly ; it was
only to melt sway beneath a withering fire from
cannon and rifle. The soldiers hesitated, stopped
iu any shelter that presented itself, began to shoot
high in the air, and the battle was lost. Daylight had
come, bringing to Marshal Wrangel an unpleasant
knowledge that Le was thoroughly beaten. So
leaving a few regiments, wbo kept up a straggling
fuelled.: until eight o'clock, the German forces with-
drew to Sattrup, setting Dybbol village on fire to
cover their retreat. Taking all things into consi-
deration, this has been a glorious victory for Den-
mark, which she owes entirely to the frantic rash-
ness of her enemies. There never was a chance of
storming Dybbol-hill except by surprise, and when
that had failed the Prussians should have at once
gone out of range. Some sting of military
pride must accouut for the suluszquent waste
of life, in useless attempts to storm re-
doubts which were not previously breached.
No sooner bad their troops withdrawn than our
neighbours at Broager commenced a brisk bom-
bardment of the Danish position ; and this ended
the action of Easter Monday. A white flag pre-
sently came iu, requesting two hours' truce for
burying their deati,which General Gerlach instantly
granted. How many Prussians fell cannot be yet
known, certainly a large number. It is the moral
advantage of success, however, that is lost to
Prussia and gained by Denmark ; au advantage
fully compensating for the hundred Danes more or
less disabled in this morning's combat.
Without speaking minutely of the horrors which
were displayed this morning along that short hit of
road between Dybbol mill and the tit,de-punt, I
wish to mention how nobly the Danish wounded
bore their sufferings. Cart followed cart, bring-
ing down poor bleeding creatures from the
front. Some were sinking rapidly, others
had strength in plenty, but were maimed
by severe local injuries ; they all appeared
very anxious that their friends should not be
daunted by any show of pain. One man with a
crushed foot feebly cheered on his advancing com-
rades. A soldier, whose bandaged face was dread-
fel to behold, saluted the passing general with calm
politeness. No groaus escaped their tightly shut
lips durine all that cruel jolting towards Sdnderborg.
High natural courage may partly cause such won-
derful endurance, but the grave earnest character
of these Danish recruits, who flock to church un-
bidden and have home :memories always clinging
about them, is a more satisfactory reason.
Hospital staff as usual behaving most ten-
derly, lifting the wounded with care
and treating them like relatives in distress.
Two young Englishmen were conspicuous for the
kind assistance which they rendered in carrying
wounded Danes out of the enemy's tire. Au ample
justithation of their own thoughtless daring in
being there themselves.

AUSTRIAN ARMY.
The following telegram from Count Rechberg to
the Austrian Ambassador in Loudon has been re-
ceiyed from the latter at Mr. Reuter's aloe :
" VIENNA, SATURDAY, Aran. 2.
"Be good enough to deny the absurd rumour
that a mutiny had taken place among the Hunga-
rian troops in Jutland. The spirit of these troops
is excellent, and there is not a single case either of
insubordination or desertion."

adopted by the Investing portion of the public. Perhaps there
Is no clam of Institutions to which that principle has been more
successfully applied than to the recently established financial

wide field open for the profitable employment of capital both la
English and foreign enterprises.

of the Company, have agreed to hold shame to the capital to a
large extent, and to be only remunerated for their services by
receiving a portion of the profits after paying Interest to the
