THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.—ATTACK
UPON DIIPPELL.
COPENHAGEN, Fee. 12, 8.50 EL
Fcedre/andet, of to-day, publishes the following
telegraphed advicee :
" The enemy has halted near Flensburg, and has
not continued his advance. Loyal Sleswigers are
still expelled by the people, partly with the concur-
rence of the Prussian troops. No farther news from
the army. The German reports of the engagements
near Oversee and Bilakaw entirely misrepresent the
facts. The Danes had only two regiments reduced
in strength, the numbers in all amounting to 3,000
men. No fighting took place in the streets of
Flensburg."
BERLIN, Fut 13.

The Neue Preussische (Kreic) &Stung of this
evening says :—" The expectation we expressed yes-
terday, that the proposition of England, France,
Russ* and Sweden, for an armistice, leaving
Aloes to the Danes, would not find acceptance here,
is confirmed."

The Bing gave audience to-day to the Kiel Pro-
fessors Forchhanuuer and Behn, in the presence of
Count Bismarck.

DRESDEN, Fn. 13.

The official Dresdner Journal of this evening
publishes the following telegram, dated Alton,
Saturday afternoon :—" It is stated upon good
authority that an order to suspend the occupa-
tion of several Holstein towns by the Prussian
troops was forwarded from Berlin, but arrived too
late to be of use. The second Prussian battalion
which moved into the town will probably march
further. Three battalions of Prussians are still
at Hamburg."

STE/TIN, FIB. 13.

Advices received here from the Prussian Consu-
late-General in Copenhagen to the Ath inst. state
that by order of the Minister for Foreign Affairs
the ships upon which embargo has been laid shall
be considered free for six weeks, calculated from
the Ist inst. Prussian light cavalry have been
despatched along the Pomeranian coasts to watch
the sea-board and give notice of hostile approach.
The signal lights in the lighthouses have been ex-
tinguished to mislead the Danish ships. One light,
only known to natives of the country, is still kept
up.
FL/M381711G. Fra. 13.

Duke Frederick has been proclaimed at Tondern,
and the Danish officials have been expelled from
the town. So long as Field-Marshal von Wrangel
and General von Gablena remain here, no attack
upon the works at Dttppel is expected to take place.
Small outpost skirmishes have occurred, after which
the Danes have withdrawn behind their entrench-
ments. The Danes have dismissed 100 Friesland
soldiers from their army, and it is said that they
will also send away the Sleswig-Holsteiners. The
Danish army is reported to be greatly
exhausted and suffering. The sick have
been sent on to Copenhagen from Alum.
The chief of the Flensburg police has been replaced
by a'Prussian officer. Large numbers of troops
continue to peas through the town. Prussian
pontoons have also been sent forward. The Aus-
trians are now being held more in reserve.
FLENSBURG, Fa. 13, Enntic.

Large quantities of captured war material have
been brought in here. Advices from Tondern state
that after the inhabitants had expelled the Danish
officials, they recalled the burgomaster.
At the distribution of medals among the troops,
which took place to-day, General von Gablenz pro-
posed the collection of a fund for the support Of
the widows and orphans of the fallen. The general
himself opened the subscription by giving one
year's stipend of the Maria Theresa Order, con-
ferred upon him by the Emperor. He said that he
reckoned upon the powerful support of the press,
never wanting for any really good object, in inviting
public co-operation and in opening a subscription
for that purpose.
A deputation of citizens waited upon General
von Gablenz to offer their thanks for the bravery
abown by the Austrian troops. They expressed
their hopes that so much blood had not been shed
in vain, and requested the general to be the ex-
ponent of the national wishes to the Emperor.
General von Gablenz replied that be was only a
soldier, and no politician, wished well to the
Duchies, and would report the desires of tbe in-
habitants to the Emperor.

Danes at Diippel yesterday. A determined battle

strand batteries here. General von Gablenz has

COPENHAGEN. FEB. 13, 7.5 ram.

selves able to state upon good authority that the

tiations are untrue.

the Privy Council the day before yesterday to
devote the whole strength of the nation to the
recovery of Bleswig.
" Nothing new from the army. The enemy is in
Hadersleben."

HAMBURG, Fes. 14.
The weather is very mild, and all ice is fast
breaking up.
A proclamation of the Federal commissioners
was published yesterday, at Altona. It enters
into details of the recent occurrence, and gives the
text of thecommissioners' protest against the Prus-
sian occupation of Altona, NeumUnster, and Kid,

powers, that Holstein should continue to be occu-
pied solely by Federal troops.

HAMBURG, Fn. H, Erarticc.

to-day that the King of Prussia had arrived here,
and was staying at Streit'a Hotel, but it is denied
is official quarters.
PARIS. Fn. 14.

The Nord, of this evening, contains a coin;
ineiniqu,, declaring the statement entirely inexact
that a French army of observation was about to be
placed upon the frontier.
La Fran« says :—" Prussians assert that an
assault upon Ditppel would cost too great sacrifice
of life. Mortars are therefore being placed in
position to shell the Danes from their entrench-
ments." The same paper mentions a rumour of the
intended reinstatement of General de Mesa in his
command.

[TWOPENCE

The Patric asserts that Austria was willing to
accept the armistice, upon condition of the Danes

debated at the next sitting of the Diet.
Notice was received from General von Hake,
commanding the Federal troops in Holstein, and
from the Federal Commissioners in that duchy, of

out the consent of the Diet. Re moved that these
promises should be fulfilled, the authority of the
Confederation be secured, and that the reserves
(Austria and Prussia) which had left the army of
execution should be replaced by other Federal
troops. The Austrian and Prussian representa-
tives declared that the promises made should in no
way be infringed by the Prussian occupation.

be adopted includes decision upon common action
in the two followi-ig cases : 1. Provided the recep-
tion of the Duke of Augnstenburg's representative
at the Diet should encounter obstacles from mem-
bers of the Confederation. 2'. Provided the occu-
pation of Sleswig by the great German Powers
should not effect the separation of that province
from Denmark. The Bavarian Government further

arrange a mutual obligation to recognise the Duke
of Augnstenburg.

THE REICHSRATH.

VIENNA, F. 13.

In the Upper Howie of the Reicharath to-day a
debate took place on the credit demanded by
government to cover the expenses of Federal exe-
cution. Cardinal Rauscher and Count Hartig
advocated the maintenance of the London protocol.
They declared that it must be respected similarly
to other treaties. Both speakers considered that
Germany should be thankful to the great German
Powers for undertaking the occupation of Sleawig
in the interests of European peace. Count Rech-
berg asserted that the credit already granted would
suffice, as nothing more was to be apprehended in
Sleawig from the enemy.
The Lower House at its last sitting consented
that forty million florins should be provided by
loan towards the expenses of 1&4.

THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN PROGRAMME.
PARIS, Fn. 14.

The Memorial Diplornatique of this morning says
that Austria and Prussia, " who have assumed
the part of mediators between the Germanic Diet
and the government of Denmark " are likely to
propose an arrangement when Sleswig is cleared
of the Danes, upon the following basis : 1. Col
firmation in principle of the territorial integrity of
Denmark. 2. The Holstein question to be decided
exclusively by the Diet. 3. In deciding the fu-
ture of Sleswig, the constitutional and succession
questions to be kept distinct, the first being treated
as a purply German matter ;Abe second examined
by a conference of the signitaries of the London
treaty, with a representative of the Confederation.
The guarantees claimed to prevent future incorpo-
ration of Sleswig with Denmark will be, personal
union, like that of Sweden and Norway ; commu-
nity of administration, and perhaps representa-

tion. 4. The Augustenburg princes to obtain formal
confirmation of their eventual rights upon the
extinction of the Gliicksberg line."
