rIBERMENT OF DENMARK
AND DANISH OPINION&

Is Germany the majority of the journals con-
tinue to declare themselves against the partition of
Sleswig, with an energy and vivacity of expression
which often extends to indecorum. •' Germany,"
says the National Gazette of Berlin, " permits
gouty Palmerston and prating Russell to sketch the
line of demarcation is the Duchy. When these
two ruins of statesmen offer to us for the lives and
blood of 10,000 German soldiers the line of the
Schlei, which perhaps the Danes would have
ceded to us without war, and which England is
very desirous of according to us, shall we accept
such a reward of victory, and shall we betray the
northern Sleswigers whom we wish to free I As
we are not obliged to leave England to dictate the
terms of pesos, the German powers will doubtless
semember that in preferring war to negotiations
they are compelled to secure a peace cor-
responding with the victories gained by their
armies." The Gazette de la Croix sustains the
same thesis by other arguments. " The question
to whom Holstein and Sleswig belong ought," it
says, " to be decided legally now that the protocol
of London has been abandoned, and Denmark
rejects personal union. But when he who
has the greatest right to the sovereignty of
the Duchies shall have been designated, it
will be necessary to give him all Sleswig.
The fact that Denis inhabit the north of that
Duchy can have no influence on the question of
right. Whatever may be the pretensions of Ger-
many with respect to Sleswig they relate to the en-
tire Duchy. Is the French language only spoken
in Alsace i Is the English language only spoken
at Gibraltar, at Malta, and at Heligoland 1"
At Copenhagen people are not yet familiarised
with the idea that the neutral powers can lend a
hand in the dismemberment of Denmark. "The
maintenance of our integrity," says the official
organ of the Danish government, " appears to be
the only means of avoiding a considerable extension
of power on the pert of Prussia. A Sleswig.Holstein
under the Prince of Augustenburg would be nothing
else than a vassal state of Prussia. To authorise
such a distribution of the balance of power in
Europe, and to allow Prussia to occupy all the
positions of the Eider and of the Scblei, as well aa
the most important ports of the Baltic Sea,
would be a weakness and a condescension
on the part of the European powers which
would singularly clash with the policy they
have followed on other occasions." The same
journal announces that Artillery Major Kauffman
has, by order of the government, set out for
London to assist, in case of need, the Danish
plenipotentiaries in reference to military questions.
" It is," says the writer, "doubtless the new con-
ditions to be agreed upon in view of the prolonga-
tion of the truce, and the numerous strategic de-
tails oonnected with the partition of Sleswig, that
have dictated this mission."

ENGAGEMENTS.

MELBOURNE, Arun Z.
Advices from New Zealand announce that two
severe engagements bad occurred at Maungata-
whirl and Tarachi. The natives were defeated at
the former place, which they abandoned, wb.le at
the latter the English troops suffered a reverse.
The English lass in killed and wounded in both
engagements amounted to 80. The probability of
the close of the campaign is still distant.
The international cricket match ended in a drawn
game.
