THE DANISH DISPUTE.

anarchy. This must no longer exist. The example
of recent years proves the possibility of conciliating
what has long appeared irreconcileable. Really
fecund progress is the fruit of experience.
Its advance will not be hastened by systematic and
unjust attacks, but by the intimate union of the
government with a majority inspired by ratriotism
and unseduced by vain popularity. Let as await
from agreement and from time such ameliorations
as are possible. Do not let the delusive hope of a
chimerical future unceasingly compromise the pre-
sent good which we have at heart to consolidate
together. Let us each remain in our right sphere
—you, gentlemen, enlightening and controlling the
progress of the government ; I taking the initiative
in all that may promote the greatness and pros-
perity of Prince."

ROYAL RELATIONSHIPS AND FOREIGN

POLITICS.

Mr. Bright, in his recent speech at Birmingham,
referred to the complications in foreign politics
which arose from our royal marriages. Without
prejudging the question how far the action of our
government w.th reference to foreign states is, or
can be, influetued by the family ties of the sovereign,
we may point out some of those connexions, some
of which are less known than others.

ATTACK UPON THE KRONENWERK, AND
ITS EVACUATION BY THE DANE&
REND:WNW, Fru. 1, 7.30 a.m.
Two Austrian regiments (the regiments of Hesse
and the regiment of the King of the Belgians) have
just crossed the railway bridge to attack the
Kronenwerk.
After a few shots had been exchanged the Danes
retreated. No one was wounded.
The main body of the troops advanced through
the evacuated Kronenwerk.
Field• Marshal Wrangel and the Royal Princes
have already passed.
An engagement is expected to-day.
The weather is splendid.

The Prince of Wales, u everyone knows, is mar-
ried to the daighter of the King of Denmark, one
of the parties to this German contest. His eldest.
sister, the Princess Royal, is married to the Prince
Royal of Prams, one of the parties opposed to the
King of Denmark. His second sister, the Princess
Alice, is married to the Prince Louis of Hesse-
Darmstadt, whose mother is a Princess of Prussia,
and whose brother is an officer in the Prussian
army. . . . . .

Time are direct relationships ; but there are
others scarcely less so with which the public are not
so well acquainted.
Prince Frederick of Augustenburg—the Duke of
Augustenburg as be is generally called here—
although that title properly belongs to his father,
is a very close connexion of our royal family,
and is much better known to the Court than
to the people of these realms. It will be
remembered that when the mother of Queen Vic-
toria mauled his Royal Highness the Duke of
Kent she was a widow. She was first married, in
the year 1803, to the Prince Erich Charles of
Leiniugen, who died 4th July, 1814. By this
marriage the Duchess of Kent had que son, born
1804, cud one daughter, born 1807, who were con-
sequently half brother and half sister of the Queen.
the Queen's half-brother, Charles, Prince of
Leiningen, died 1836, and was succeeded by his
sou, Prince Ernest of Leiningen, nephew of
the Queen, who is a captain in the Royal Navy
of Great Britain.

ENTRY OF THE PRUSSIANS INTO
ICKENFORDE.

KIEL. 1,13. 1.

The Prussians entered Eckenforde at noon to-
day, the Danish troops retiring on their approach.
The Danish ships lying off Eckenforde, after ex-
changing some cannon shots with the Prussians,
sailed away.
The Prussian and Austrian ministers, on their
return from Copenhagen, passed through this city,
haring travelled rid Eckenforde.
It is said that Duke Frederick of Augustenburg
has been proclaimed at Kekenforde and Bettor[.
Prince Charles of Prussia goes forward with the
army.

ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE PRUSSIANS
AND THE DANISH SHIPS.
ALTONA, FEB. 1, Eructs°.
To-day, at noon, an engagement took place
between the Prussian artillery and two Danish
screw steamers, off Eckenforde. The town was
taken by the Prussians.
The ships ultimately left the harbour.
Count Baudissin, with other landed proprietors
and inhabitants, have proclaimed Duke Frederick
in Gettorf.

The half sister of the Queen, the Princess Anne
Feodorovua of Leiningea, married in 1828 Ernest
Prince of Hohenlobe-Langenburg. He died in 1860,
leaving a widow and five children, the latter
nephews and nieces of the Queen. Of these children,
the third son, Prince Victor of Holienlobe, who
took the name of "Count de Oleichen " on his
marriage with a daughter of Admiral Sir George
Seymour, is a captain in our Royal Navy. His
next sister, the Princess Adelaide Victoria of
Hohenlobe (born 1836), married in 1856 "Frede-
rick Christian Augustus, Prince Hereditary of
Sleswig - Holstein - Sonderbourg - Augustenburg,"
the Pretender to the sovereignty tithe imaginary
state of Sleswig-Holstein, who Is by his marriage
the Queen's nephew.
Besides these relationships of our royal family
with the contending parties there are others leas
immediate. The King Leopold of Belgium is the
Queen's uncle. His eldest son and heir, the Duke
de Brabant, is married to an Archduchess of
Austria, and his daughter, the Princess Charlotte,
is married to the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian,
brother of the Emperor of Austria, another party to
the contest. Besides these oonnexions the Duchess
of Cambridge. who was a Princess of Hesse Cassel,
is an aunt of the Queen of Denmark, who was also
• Princess of Hesse Cassel.

THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN OCCUPATION OF
SLESWIG.
PROTEST OF SWEDEN.
VIENNA, Fri. 1.
_ _ _

Sweden has protested at Vienna and Berlin
against the decision of the two great German power
to occupy Slaving.
THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH.

VIENNA, Fm. I.

To-day, in the sitting of the Lower House of the
Reicherath, the sum of al millions florins was voted
for the Austrian proportion of the expenses of
Federal execution in Holstein, instead of the 10
millions demanded by the government.
The resolution brought forward by the Opposition
a short time back was rejected by 103 against 59
votes. This resolution censured tbecoursepursued
by the government, and stated that Austria has no
interest in Sleswig-Holstein, and that her action
should be subordinate to the policy of the Federal
Diet.

Every party to the Dano-Germanic contest may
therefore be said to be more or lees immediately
connected with the royal family of Great Britain.

PARIS, FIX L
The Emperor received the deputation to-day
from the Corps Legislatif, which brought up the
address in reply to the speech from the throne in
November last.
His Majesty said, in reply, that the debates upon
the confirmation of the members' elections and on
the address had been long and profound, and
though they had taken nearly three months from
the legislative business of the House, they had not
been useless. To an impartial mind the result had
been to reduce into nothing the accusations which
had been skilfully spread.
