LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
PUBLIC FEELING AT COPENHAGEN.
PROCLAMATION OP THE KING TO HIE
ARMY.
(mom OUR own comercurniarr.)

OOPENHAGEN, his, 8.

On Saturday evening the sad tidings arrived here
that the army had abandoned the strong and—as
the people were always led to consider invincible—
position of the Dannewerk. The news soon spread
over the whole city, and created a most intensely
painful sensation, and loud murmurs of disgust
and indignation were everywhere expressed. It
was to be foreseen that a popular demonstration
would be made. After dark a mob collected in
the Amalia-street, and gave vent to their excited

feelings by groans and hisses. The police, who
mustered in force, did all in their power to per-
suade the crowd to disperse, but the latter became
desperate, and commenced an attack in which 14
of the policemen were more or less severely
wounded, as well as a great number of citizens ;
but at length order was restored, about 80 of the
ringleaders being arrested, and the street cleared.
The following is the text of the proclamation that
the King has issued to his army :
Soldiers !—lt is not only by bravery in the field, bet by
patiently enduring privations, hunger, coldness of the
climate, and fatigue, that a soldier proves his fidelityit4tis
sovereign and patriotism towards his native country. Only
a null number of you have had an opportunity of showing
in battle with a numerically vastly superior enemy that
you have not degenerated since the days of Frederica sad
ldstedt ; but on the other hand you have all been enabled
to give brilliant proofs of your firmness and perseverance,

combined with cheerfulnessand courage =icier adversity and
hardships.
Soldiers !—Receive the grateful thank' of your King. The
Danuewerk is abandoned. In possession of the enemy are
those guns that were to have tamed his haughtiness. The
country now lies open to the enemy. Deeply I feel with
you what we have lost by it. But, my friends, I have but
this one army for the defence of our kingdom, and your
leaders, with experience and knowledge of war, were unani-
mously of opinion that I should samitioe my army unless
it retreated, and that is why they pre the order.
Soldiers !—I stead alone in the world) with my people.
Hitherto no single power has offered us eesist►nce and on.
operation. But I place my oonidaoce in you and the
navy. Yon are ready to sited your blood ; but it will be
dearly purchased, foe we are but few against overpowering
numbers. May the Almighty grant that the hour may soon
come when we shall have oar revenge for the violence oom-
mitted against us and the wrongs we have so unjustly sog-
fered. (Signed)

Soaderborg, Feb. 6,1864.
The President of the Council returned to this
city yesterday morning. General de Mess and Col.
Kaufman, the head of Mostar, have received orders
to repair hither immediately to explain to the Minis-
ter of War their reasons for abandoning the Danne-
werk, and why the resolution was not communi-
cated to the War-office on Thursday instead of Friday,
when the retreat had already commenced and could
no longer be prevented. It was also only on Fri-
day evening that the King and Bishop Monrsd re-
ceived the first intelligence that the Dannewerk
was evacuated. On their departure from Gottorp
on Wednesday they had every reason to believe that
the position would be defended to the last. •
council of war was held, in which it was decided by
ten votes to one to abandon the Dannewerk. In
the meantime General von Littticban is appointed
to the command of the army, with Major Stiern-
holm as the chief of his staff. The central military
chest has been safely removed from Flensburg to
Sonderburg.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FIID►T EVENING.

The Pays tavata as the rash invention of a
journal anxious for notoriety the statement of the
France that the Dance had arranged to evacuate
Sleewig, and that the Austro-Prussian army was
not to Gross the frontier of Denmark proper•

The Pays is polite enough to describe the British
government as the " Pontius Pilate" of politica,
having now no other part to play than to wash its
bands, no matter what happens.

The Suez Canal banquet camel off yesterday in
the Exhibition Palace of the Champs Ilya&
Prince Napoleon was in the chair, supported by M.
de Lessepe on his right hand and Admiral Jurien
de la Gravibre on his left; 1,500 people sat down to
dinner. The attraction of a great spread at the
low figure of 10fr., and a speech from the prinoe,
produced a great many applications for tickets at
the last moment which the committee were obliged
to refuse. Notwithstanding the great national int
portance which M. de Leeseps' friends attempted
to give to this banquet, the Moniteur only publishes
the following short and altogether uninteresting
account of it :

M. Mllleommus proposed a toast to the Emperor, the Eta-
geres, and the Prince Imperial, which was chunk with
load acclamation'. Prince Napoleon, in speech which was
!madly applauded, gave an histories sketch of the under-
taking, pointed out its grandeur and utility, and paid a just
tribute of praise to 01 those who had taken part in it. M.
do Limps afterwards addressed the company present, sod
explained the results which had been obtained and those to
be 'spooled. He thanked Prince Napoleon for the interest
he had always taken in the work, and the shareholders for
their indefatigable co-operation. Procureur-General Dupin
briefly dessocixtrated the importance of the junction of the
two seas, and, expressing his confideoce in the future sue-
OM of the undsrtakieg, named it the Canal of Good Hope.

The above paragraph in the back pages of the
Moniteur contrasts strangely with the boasts of M.
de Leseeps' partisans in the evening papers, that
" France has spoken, " and therefore the Isthmus
of Suez Canal is made. No report of Prince
Napoleon's speech is yet published ; but there is no
doubt that it will appear in due time as an ad-
vertisement. The Opinion Nationale, his own
peculiar organ, is careful to tell us that he attacked
the English government, and laid stress upon the
distinction which seems fashionable just now in
Paris between the English " government " and the
English " nation." All the difficulties which M.
de Leaseps has encountered in Egypt are repre-
sented by the prince as owing to the " ego-
tistical," " odious" conduct of the narrow-
minded sristocratical rulers of England. Even
M. Dnpin, the chicken-hearted president of
the Legislative Assembly—Dupin, the turnooat
and renegade par excellence, thought the
occasion opportune for saying that England, for-
merly a power who made (the world tremble,
seemed now to be frightened at everything :

None sow so poor as do us reverence.
For myself, I repeat what I said years ago, that
I do not think England ought to oppose the
making of the Suez canal, and I do not believe
she does. But the doubts which 1 bad from the
first whether M. de Leaseps will ever achieve the
work, and whether he is not leading his share-
holders into a quagmire, are greatly strengthened
by the opinions of such men as Odillon Barret,
Dufaure, and Jules Fevre, which are at this
moment the subject of more litigation in a court
of justice. A great many French papers use now the
very same language with regard to M. de Lessept
and his scheme which the English journals did
long ago ; but then the allegation here is that they
are all corrupted by English gold. I myself heard
one of the stewards of this banquet allege gravely
that one Paris journal alone had received 200,000 fr.
from England to write against M. de Lseseps.
The Bourse is decidedly firm. Bente rose 10c.
The Credit Dfobilier Society is operating largely,
and appears to have confidence in the rise.
The following letter is said to bare been received
by a Milanese gentleman from Count de Montalem-
bert, in answer to the question as to whether he
had recommended the Pope to grant liberal reforms
or not:

My dear Friend,—lt appears that the Milanese amuse
themselves with inventing little stories, which are devoid
even of s shadow of probability. It is absolutely false that
the Bishop of Orleans and I ever took a step to induce the'
Pope to yield in anything. I believe there is not a person

self, applauds the immortal firrnoess of whirls Plus IX. sets

Mixing with heroic Poland—alone in this among all the
Sovereigns of Europe.—MONTALLVSZAT.
I do not know whether the above letter is
genuine, or whether it is correctly translated.
What °our talon M. de Montalembert can see between
the Pope's obstinate refusal of all reform and his
sympathy for Poland passes my understanding.

The Mortal remains of the Duchess of Parma
arrived last week at Goritz (Carniola) from Venice,
in charge of the Abb•S Trdbuquet. The body was
received at the railway stttion by the clergy and a
number of Franciscan monks, who followed it in
procession to the church of the convent, where the
vault Is situated that contains the bo3y of Charles
X. The Count de Chambord arrived at an early
hour the following morning, and the funeral took
place at eight o'clock. The archbishop officiated
pontifically, and after mass five absolutions were
given, as is the custom for crowned heads. The
coffin was afterwards placed in the vault. In the
evening the Count de Chambord returned to
Venice.
