troops will amount to from 80,000 to 100,000
men. Another decree is spoken of, which is to raise
the income tax 11 per cent. The greater pert of the
Srd division stationed in Styria has been called to
Vienna, while nearly the whole garrison of Vienna
has lett for Oallicia. The 6th division, under Prince
Lichtenstein, which was clutoned at Udine and Tre•

for further orders. It is believed that it will be sent
to Transylvania,
.part of the troops there being
ordered to Moldavia."

Letters from Vienna (says the Pogrie) stated that,
in conformity with the instruction, of the Emperor
of Austria, Generals Crawford and Letang were to
accompany Baron de Hess to Osßiala. But it appeen,
according to a letter in the Inchgpendance of Brumes,
that this circumstance has given rise to very warm

at Vienna. Prince Gortchakoff is said to hate de-
clared that the presence of the military representa-
tives of France and England among the staff of the
Austrian army would be the signal for a rapture
between the cabinets of Vienna and of Sr. Petersburg,
sod that he would immediately demand his passports.
It is not known what ulterior resolution may become
to by the Austrian cabiLet, and whether the post-
ponement of the departure of General de Hess can be
connected with this state of indecision.

COPENHAGEN, NAT 6.
Circulars have been sent round by the Minister for
Foreign Affairs to the different custom-house autho.
ritiee of the kingdom, authorised to grant to Danish
ships the usual sea passport (in the Latin language),
impressing upon them the necessity of exercising the
greatest vigilance to prevent abuses, and particularly
to insist on the execution of all the formalities con-
tained in the original royal ordinanoe of the 4th of
May, 1803, relative to the proofs of ships being bona
fide Danish property, before obtaining permission to
sail under the national flag. Especial reference is
called to the Third Article of the Ordinance, which
would shut out from the benefits of the Danish flag
the vessels of those subjects who were still domiciled
in one of the belligerent states alter the breaking out
of the present war—that is, subsequent to the 29th
of March last year—from which it is inferred that
their ships were placed under the flag of one of the
belligerent states.
The King has bought the beautiful and extensive
estate of Roohave, in the Duchy of Schleswig, for
the sum of 180,000 rix dollars, and made a present
of it to his wife, the Countess Danner.
Her Majesty's ship Conflict is still at Elsinore,
making good the damage she received from the fields
of ice with which she came in contact in her late
cruise up the Baltic, and in which a good deal of the
copper sheathing on her bows was carried away, like
that of the Miranda last year. She has also damaged
her rudder, but will be able to effict her repairs at
Elsinore, although the place afl'ords no great facilities
for the performance of such operations.
An American bark (the Jupiter of New Orleans),
which arrived here as soon as the Sound was free of
ice, destined for some Russian port, has been deterred
by the early appearance of the British cruisers from
proceeding, and remains in the roadstead awaiting
orders from her owners. _

When Admiral Dundee was here, he made minute
inquiries into the Danish system of educating young
naval officers, which consists in not letting them
serve afloat all the year roundi but only for three oe
four months in the summer, whilst the rest of the
year they prosecute their studies on shore, and geta
more general education as to the theory of their pro-
fusion. On occasions when foreign potentates come
on a visit to Copenhagen, naval officers are generally
selected to do the honours of the place. This was the
case, amongst others, during the visit of the late
Emperor of Russia, the King of Sweden, &c. The
admiral praised the system, and said he believed and
hoped that after the restoration of peace, an &iterates
would be made in the British naval service, mini.
lating it in some respects to the system pursued by
the Danish government.

quickly from mouth to mouth, and gave rise to tit
most fabulous combinations. "News from Sweden.
