LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 16.

Tux reports which reach us daily from Sonder-
borg tell orly too plainly what must at no distant
date be the result of the Prussian operations before
DilppeL These are not days, if ever there were
such, when the combination of valour and fortitude
in a just cause is sufficient to ensure success ;
and it is easy to see that if the conflict continues
the over-matched Danes must before long lose the
position they have hitherto so worthily defended.
From the time that Marshal WRANGEL began
to press the siege of Duppel in regular form the
end has been seen to be inevitable, although its
date is still uncertain. The German trenches are
creeping slowly and surely towards the forts and
redoubts on Duppel Hill amid a storm of shot
which the Daniah gunners vainly direct upon the
advancing foe. The superior numbers and mili-
tary resources of the Prussians, joined to the
ordinary advantage of the attack over the defence,
are telling upon the Danish position. Our Special
Correspondent, writing from the scene of the con-
flict, remarks :—" Extreme fatigue begins to
" weaken the gallant army of Denmark. Officers
" and men have been without rest for many days.
" They are still resolved upon fighting to the last,
"if so ordered. But Europe must not expect
" too much." Let it be remembered that for
two months fifteen thousand Danes, 'W-
armed as compared with the Germans, have held
their ground by mere bravery against five times
that number of the enemy. During that time they
have done such wonders as are only accomplished
by men who feel that they are fighting for country
and home : but, as before at the Dannewirke, they
are exhausted by fatigue and fairly overborne. Their
artillery is not sufficiently powerful to silence the
formidable rifle guns of the Prussian, and they
themselves are not strong enough to sally out and
destroy the breaching batteries of the enemy. Alt
that is left for them is quietly to receive the mur-
derous fire of their assailants until the latter shall
attempt to storm their works, and thus possibly
restore to valour once more, and for a moment, that
decisive superiority which the progress of the mili-
tary art tends more and more to give to science
and material resources. We were told early in the
week that the besiegers had opened fire from their
third parallel : it is now stated that on Wednesday
night four companies of Prussian infantry drove
the Danish outposts behind their works, within a
hundred yards of which the besiegers enteenched
themselves. It is thus rev plain that the critical
moment will not be much longer delayed.
It is agreed on all hands that the attempt to
storm Dtippel will cause ages of blood to flow. The
Danish army, though small, defends a lip, not more
than a mile and a quarter long ; but that Marshal
WRANGEL will lavish life in the endeavour to take
the position is certain to be expected. Hitherto
l•`s army baa not shone by conspicuous valour, his
greatest advantages having been due to the supe-
riority of his artillery. The credit of Prussia in
Europe, the pretersions of Prussia in Germany,
and the status which the Prussian Government
seeks to give to the military class in society and
in the State, are all at stake in this conflict. The
Prussian battalions will therefore be hurled with
relentless impetuosity against the redoubt& at
DuppeL But it does not follow that the men will
share the ardour of their commander, or take ac-
count of the necessities and enter into the feelings
of their Government. When the critical moment
comes, and the Prussian storming columns have
to advance, unaided by the artillery which has
hitherto been so effective, the Danes will no doubt
give as good an account of them as they did on
Easter Monday. Still we cannot be sure of the
result.

While, however, the contest is still impending,
we may ask once more why it should take place I
We know how the armistice, which must be one
of the first works of the Conference, has been
averted. The Conference was to have been opened
last Tuesday. The Danish Plenipotentiaries have
been waiting here • week. England and France
were ready, but the Austrians and Prunians de-
manded delay. In deference to German require-
ments, we had given up, and made the Danes give
up also, the negotiations of 1851-52 as the basis of
the Conference. We thus left it open to any of the
parties to recommend a departure from the Treaty
of London, deny the rights of King Ctimarratr,
and advocate the pretenaions of Prince Fiurnr.lucs
of Avorsreserso. It might have been supposed
that, after this,A ustria and Prussia would have been
prepared at once to take their places in the Con-
ference. Bat excuses were made ;it was said
that the Federal Diet had not had time to consider
the communication by which it had been invited to
send a representative to the Conference. There
was, of course, nothing real in this pretence. The
Conference might have been held at first with or
without the Plenipotentiary of the Diet. The
Protocol would have been left open to late corners,
and the first business at the Conference was a
