CLOSING OF THE DANISH RIGSRAAD.
THE KING'S SPEECH.
COPENHAGEN, Die. 21.
The Danish Ragweed was closed to-day.
The Minister President read the message from
the King.
His Majesty says :—" At the time when this
Assembly met in 1855 it was hoped that the con-
stitutional relations of the monarchy were settled.
Such would have been the case had the Federal
Diet confined itself to its competency. The
constitution of the 18th November rested upon the
same basis as that of the present constitution
for the whole monarchy. That constitution also
separated the common affairs of the monarchy from
those appertaining specially to the respective pro-
vinces composing is. It conferred no competence
upon the Rigsraad to interfere in matters hitherto
concerning the provinces alone."
The message then states that his Majesty in-
tended to give to his federal provinces the same
freetkaa-asul. isdapimulsars, -thus restlicias Alma
00601111042 with the monarchy possible. "The new
constitution was no obstacle to this end. It would
therefore be a misunderstanding on the Fort of the
Powers not to recognise the treaties on that account.
The King then proceeds to say A desire to
dismember the Danish monarchy has arisen in
Germany. We hope, however, that Europe will
nevertheless maintain our right to the hereditary
succession. We have fulfilled every resolution of
the Federal Diet concerning the Federal provinces.
German troops have occupied Holstein and Lanen-
burg, although the latter has recently testified its
satisfaction and loyalty to Denmark.
" Although we do not recognise the execution on
the part of the German Confederation as justifiable,
we withdraw our troops to this side of the Eider, in
order to avoid a collision."

The Pddrelandett of this evening says :—" The
Ambassadors of France and Sweden have abstained
from exercising any pressure upon the Danish
Government. The Swedish Ambassador has even
received orders to support Denmark."
The same journal says :—"All the Holstein sub-
officers of the garrison of this city have volun-
tarily expressed their desire to take pad in the
campaign."

THE DANISH DIFFICULTY.
DRESDEN. Dm 21.

It is announced that the Civil Commissioner for
Holstein sent by Saxony left for that duchy. yester-
day.
Denmark has given notice that Holstein will be
evacuated by the Danish troops.

BERLIN, Dia 21

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House the draft
of the address proposed by Count von Aniline-
Boytezenburg came under discussion. Dr. Tell-
kampf and Herren von Groner and Von Kampf-
bausen and their adherents moved an amendment
to the effect that Prussia should withdraw from
the London treaty. This amendment did not,
however, meet with sufficient support in thehouse,
and after an animated debate the address was
almost unanimously adopted.

FRANKFORT. Dm. 21.

A meeting of 900 members of the different Ger-
man representative bodies was held to-day, and
numerously attended by the public. The follow-
ing resolutions were carried almost unanimously :
" That united endeavours should be made to
secure the recognition of the rights of Prince Fre-
derick of Augustenburg. —That the Federal Diet
be induced to recognise Prince Frederick as
Duke of Schleswig-Holstein.—That the validity
of his rights be enforced, and the separation of
the duchies from Denmark carried out; and finally,
that the independence and inseparable union of the
duchies be established."

A committee of 36 memhers was appointed to
carry out the above resolutions. This committee
adopted, as the basis of their operations, the legal
activity of the German nation for the carrying
out of the rights of the duchies, and those of their
legitimate duke.

HAMBURG, Disc. 21.

The police have just prohibited the military
exercises carried on in the TurwhaUe, which they
have closed and occupied. The sergeant-major
superintending the list of a company of volunteers
wasarrested.

It is stated that a meeting of the members of
the Holstein Estates will take place to-morrow.
A great popular assembly is intended to take
place at Elmahorn on Wednesday next. Deputa-
tions from all parts of the country are expected to
attend. It is believed that the Assembly will
proclaim Prince Frederick as Duke of Schleswig-
Holstein.
