THE POLICY OF AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA
IN THE SLILSWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION.

BERLIN, JAIL 19.

The Austrian and Prussian ambassadors in
Copenhagen merely banded a summons to the
Danish government on the 16th inst., and not an
ultimatum, relative to the withdrawal of the
November constitution. The ambassadors having
been instructed to leave Copenhagen in the event
of a refusal on the part of the Danish government,
are now probably on their return to their respec-
tive courts. The ultimatum will be presented on
the arrival of the Austrian and Prussian troops on
the Eider.
