DENMARK.

We have received the indictment just presets:l
against the members of the late Danish Cab:n.4ll:4
are about to be tried by the High Court of the ling.
dom. This document is remarkable for the new (sob
which it brings to light relative to the policy followed
by the Oersted Ministry; for the public, promicator
named by the Diet, M. Brock, was empowered is
consult every register and document relative to the
administration of the fallen ministry, including era
the minutes of the sittings of the Cabinet Councils. It
must, however, be stated that it was at the request of
the accused ministers themselves that this authorises
tion was accorded to M. Brock. The document in
question is of extraordinary length, but the following
are the principal facts set forth in it :
In the month of December, 1813, when a replan wee
imminent 'mime's the Western rowers and Buds, the
Danish government manifested its iatentioa of remaisiag
strictly neutral. However, towards the end of Jewry,
1864, or about three months before the declaration of we,
the Ousted Cabinet prepared to make certain amines%
First, Rear• Admiral Steen Bills proposed to have as ass
ordinary levy of sailors to men vessels to defend theses&
A bill wee presented for the purpose to the Dist, OA
evinced a strong opposition to the 11011/11re. However, tin
'Riskier at last overcame its repugnance by Uderbg 8,8
the levy in question would not require soy additioaelhaes
Some days after, on Feb:uary 8, General de Hama,
mister of "far, proposed to the cabinet to increase *sow,
alleging as a reason for the step, that if Denmark ems art
well defanded,England would adopt violent swam Woe
her to declare for the Western Alliance. Motet the
opposed the plan, being of opinion that the mesa
24,000, was quite sufficient. M. Mumma, Muster
Foreign Affairs, declared that he had no doubt as to the
intention of foreign powers to respect strictly the sehlfhlq
of Denmark, and Count de Spooned', Minister of foam
affirmed that the state of the exchequer would not wrest
any lacrosse of expense. General de lames, Doerr, di
not give way. He merely made some slight mistimes •
his original plan, and then obtained from the Huse all'
dosimeters authorising en augmentation in the iskalrb
cavalry, artillery, and engineers. In like mune, thi
Minister of Marine acted irrespectively of the Diet, ft
levied sailors, defraying the expense of their Kilt
meat and of that of the vessels which they wee II
serve in from brads intended for other eliell•
The Diet soon began to suspect that some unanthessi
acts were in course of execution ; and at be
there appeared the well-known ordonnence of Jai/ A
1851, which, by creating a legislative body for the !Ws
ref
the Danish territory, tended to deprive the Diet of its WS
important t rivileges. It may be remembered that Nil
after the Diet sent in an address to the King, in obeli
declared that the councillors of his Majesty had test tY
confidence of the national representatives. West "NA;

after the Ministers of War and Marine proposed ecellsew
to establish a line of defence on the coast of Zesissdi e
further levy of 14,080 men, and the constrectioe of Orel

opposed that step at quite unnecessary ; and the Kisitii.^
