THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
COPENHAGEN, Oar. M.

Dag&!cadet of to-day says :—" We hear, but can-
not vouch for the truth of the news, that on Wed-
nesday last intelligence unfavourable to peace, ar-
rived here, and the sudden summons of the Council
of State was oa that account. The orders issued
by the military authorities at Copenhagen seem to
confirm this rumour. It is asserted that Prussia
demands that the treaty of peace should not be
submitted to the Rigsraad. The rumour that
General Falkenstein has absolutely forbidden all
imports and exports by Ina is fully confirmed."

The subjoined weekly summary of the metal
market is extracted from the circular of Messrs. von
Dadelazen and North :

The metal market has boon seribly affected by the con-
dition of the mosey market. Some forced sales have bees
effected sad a heavy decline submitted to, but more buel-
nem has bees done than for some time pest, and as there
are signs of an improvement in financial circlet, we have
rater to hope for a reaction in commerce. Iron—Welsh

THE SWISS POISONING CASE.

The second day's sitting of the Court of Assizes
of Beres was chiefly devoted to the interrogatory of the
prisoner Demme. daring which the female prisoner was
taken out of court .

In reply to the President • questions Lemma stated that
M. Trump; wee • man of light character, but that Mme.
Tmmpy was • good sort of person. The marriage was
Dot happy. Trumpy frequently got intoxicated ; and in
that state was violent and brutal. In the spring of 1863,
M. Trump; having expressed suspicious os the nature of the
relations between him (the prisoner) and Mule. Trumpy,
explanations were given and accepted a■ satisfactory. Al-
ready, at that time, M. Trump; bad talked of committing
suicide; he even bought pistols for the purpose, and
but for the prisoner's persuasions would have then de-
stroyed himself. With regard to • voyage in the East made
by M. and Madame Trump; in company with him (prisoner)
he stated that he went at their request and paid hi■ own ex-
pensed". Dori:4 the voyage Trump; WM frequently very
morose, and behaved strangely. Oa one occasion he wanted
hie wife to take • certain powder to cure • cold, but she re-
fused, fearing it was poison. Trumpy afterwards told him
that be had purchased some very active poison while i• the
East. The prisoner denied that he had ever meditated an
elopement with Madame Trump;, hut be bad advised her to
live apart from her husband for • time, and she would have
dooe so but for the fear that it might have led to her
husband's ruin. He (prisoner) was aware that Madame
Trump; had some partiality for him, but he considered that
it arose solely from gratitude for the services be had rendered
to the family. With regard to Tmmpy's lest illneet, the
prisoner stated that it was of syphilitic origin and attended
with excruciating pain, to relieve which opiates were pre-
scribed. Of course Mme. Trump; bad been appruied
either of the nature of the &setae or of the remedies em-
ployed. On the day before his death Trump; had been t•
great pain, followed by vomiting, after which he slept
quietly. He denied that be was alone in the sick man's
chamber on that day. At night he was about to return home,
hut Trump; would not beer of his going, and implored him
to stay, saying : " Pray do not lame ; noire but you ma
esve me !" He accordingly coesestoil be stay.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE STUDENTS.
(nom on owx costazaromarr.)

PARIS. TUMMY EVINDIGI.

The Emperor and Empress, Prince Napoleon and
Princess Clothilde, Princess Mathilde, and Princess
Anna Murat went to the Odien last night to see
the first representation of the Marquis de Villenser,
a new drama by George Sand. The Duke and
Duchess de Morny, M. de Niewerkerke, M. Boitelle,
and many other court notabilities werepresent. It ap-
pears that the students have got it into their heads
that George Sand, once their idol, is now dazzled
by the splendour of the throne, and has become
reactionary. A certain number of young men re-
solved to take this opportunity to make a demon-
stration against her. There were loud cries of
" Vire l'Empereur " when the imperial party
took their seats ; but in the coarse of the
second act hissing began, and it was con-
tinued occasionally to the end of the niece.
But the principal movement took place outside the
theatre. A considerable crowd of students as-
sembled and sang the "Marseillaise " and the
" Chant du depart." The p Aloe being unable to
disperse them some troops were sent for. It is
said that several arrests were made and that there
were even some wounded ; but it is prob►ble, as
is almost always the case with such rumours, that
the current accounts are exaggerated.
The " working men's " committee of Paris
announce that their candidat ourrier for the fifth

circumscription is M. H.Tolain, a working jeweller.
Ido not think he has the ghost of a 'chance. The
majority of the Paris workmen do not agree in the
opinion that they should be best represented by
one of their own class. They want a man of leisure,
education, political experience, oratorical talent,
and at least sufficient fortune to be not unduly
puffed up by the 10,000 fr. a year pay which Le will
get as a member of the Corps Legislatif. There is
great talk of MM. Carnot and Gamier Pagiss
coming forward under the patronage of the com-
mittee which carried all the elections in May ; but
I believe nothing is yet settled.
The Archduke Maximilian's grippe, which con-
flues him to Brussels, appears to be not yet cured.
He is expected and expected at Paris, but does not
come. The Nation very plainly hints to-night that
he will never be Emperor of Mexico after all.
The France says there is no truth in the news re-
produced from the Vigie of Cherbourg that any
pressing or extraordinary orders have been given
touching the iron-clad fleet.

A history of Louis xvr., with • collection of his
writings, and • letter of M. Berryer's by way of
preface, is announced as being in the press.
The soirde that Rossini intended to give yester-
day to celebrate his 18th birthday (he was born on
a 29th of February) was postponed in consequence
of the indisposition of Madame Rossini.
The Bourse, after a temporary fall, recovered to
yesterday's prices, and closed with tolerable firm-
ness.

THE DANISH DESPATCHES.
Xr. D. GRIFFITH mind the Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs wbether therein' not lathe papers on Danish
affairs • despatch from himself to Sir A. Paget, of date of
the 30th November, 1863, to wlikh an answer wee retarnad
by Sir A. Paget from Cops:Juges, dated the Ist December,
1863, and how be amounted for so rapid an answer if the
transmission of the first despatch was not by telegraph ?
Hr. LAYARD—As the boom is aware, my hoe, friend is
a great traveller, and liking to test foreign affairs by local
investigation, Soda it impomilge to go from London to
Copenhagen sad back in 84 hours. (A laugh.) We hod no
messenger at the Foreign-office who could perform the
rnwlY in that time. Bottle mystery is easily explained.
understand the hon. gentleman to ask whether it is cus-
tomary for the Foreign-office to give telegraphic despatches
in the printed papers—that is, in cipher. (Cries of "No,
no.") Almost an the despatches between the Foreign-
office and our agents abroad are sent in cipher, and these
are not given in the printed papers, because if they were
there would be an end of all such communications. Bat is
the ease of ordinary telegraphic messages that rale does not
apply, and such was the case in the instance alluded to by
the hoe. gentlemen.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH—Was the despatch telegraphed to
Sir A. Paget on the 30th November!
Mr. LAYARD—Yes.__

ID. D. GRIFFITH—Yon denied it yeaterd►y. ("Hear,
hear," and laughter.)
Mr. LAY A RD—lt woe inapoesible exact by means of the
telegraph to send to Copenhagen in 24 hours.

THE STATE OF SIEGE IN GALICIA.

The Austrian imperial manifesto concerning the
proclamation of the state of siege in Galicia, says :

For some months past the kingdom of Poland has hies
the theatre of deplorable events, and Galicia, owing to it;
sympathies with the destinies of its neighbours, has been
profoundly agitated. The government, in pregame of such
a state of things, has conscientiously observed its inter-
national duties, and applied the existing laws with all the
madams and moderation calculated to also the public
excitement. The result has sot responded to its expec-
tations. Treasonable relations have been organised
on this side of the frontier, enrolments have been
constantly made, and extortions practised in order to aid
the insurgents. The security of the country, the property
of its inhabitants, sad the prosperity of all are compromised
and legal order seriously menaced. The revolutionary
power exercising an occult action, the ultimate aim of which
is equally directed against the security and integrity of
Austria, arrogates to itself a formal governmental power in
Galicia; it exacts contributions from sworn agents, and
seeks, without shrinking eves from murder, to enforce obe-
dieoce to its order by intimidation. Numerous facts iodi.
ate that the revolutionary parties intend ere long to make
Galicia and Cracow the scene of open violence. Pene-
trated with a sense of his duties towards the country,
the majority of whose inhabitants are among his most
faithful subjects, the Emperor has been obliged to order
exceptional measures for the preservation of tranquillity
and the protection of the peaceable populations. The
Emperor trusts that these measures will soon be super-
litmus, and he feels confident that the support of the popu-
lations will not be wanting to the government in ila efforts
to re-establish order and legslity.

The Lieutenant-General bas just published two
ordounances, one of which requires all arms and
munitions to be given up within fifteen days under
pain of heavy penalties and imprisonment. The
other orders all foreigners to apply to the police
authorities within 48 hours for permission to
remain, and all who omit doing so will be at once
expelled from the country.

THE ARMY ESTIMATES.

Lord HOTHAM observed that notice bad been given that
the army estimates would be proceeded with on Thursday.
He wished to know whether they would be preceded with
in the usual manner, or whether that cure would be par-
sued which had been adopted with regard to the navy esti-
mates, and whether than votes only would be takes which
had reticence to the Mutiny Bill and the financial state-
meet of the Chancellor of the Eschequer ; and, if so, what
would be the lest vote takes oa Thursday.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON we. unable to say what
arrangement would be made with respect to the public
business, but on account of the shortness of time before
Easter it was Deeineary to obtain as many votes as possible.
It was necessary to get the vote for the men, but he yam
unable Wry whether any other vote would be asked for on
1 heyday night.
Lord BOTH AM gave notice that on the proposal of
vote No. 6he should make some observations on the ad-
ministration of martial law, and on the coons which bad
been adopted towards Colonel Crawley, of the Inniskilling
Dragoons. (Cheers.)
Lord CECIL said the noble lord would consult the am-
veneer of members if he would state the latest hoer at
which he was likely to bring on the army estimates.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it would be neer
sary to consult the convenience of the house, but his noble
friend at the head of the government had suggested that the
altimeters might be brought on at any hour on Thundsy
night before 12. (Laughter.)

THE CONFERENCE.

The Berlin and Vienna journals no longer speak
of the conference except to ridicule the effort of the
English cabinet. The Wanderer calls the proposi-
tion "a pure absurdity." The Oct-Deutsche Post
rejects all idea of adhesion on the part of
the Diet, but calculates that if, by an impos-
sibility, the Frankfort Assembly should consent
to have itself represented at London, so much
time would be required before any decision could
be come to, that the war might be finished before the
determination was taken. The following formalities
should be gone through:—Presentation of a motion
at a general assembly ; appointment of a committee ;
meeting of that committee ; report and conclusion ;
reading of the same to the general tuff embly ; choice
of a delegate ; examination of that selection by a
commission, and lastly, the definitive nomination.
To judge from the dilatory manner in which pend-
ing questions are got through at Frankfort, to
arrive at the nomination of a delegate would re-
quire at least three months.
London, England, 1864-01-30

,;,.coated everything combustible by 10 o'clock. Tan.
defying the sickening stench, people came to look for
their lost ones. Oh, what a sight the fair, placid moat
looked down upon Close-packed crowds of calcined
tertad forms, wearing the fearful expression of the last
T. 04, whose smile ins once a heaven—the ghastly pha-
hos of black statues, twisted in every variety of agony,
stretching out their arms as imploring mercy, and then
of the heap that had choked up the door, multitudes
with the lower parts pe
alI rfectly untouched, and some
a shapeless masa bet with one arm or foot unscathed.
The silence, after those piercing screams were hushed in
death was horrible. It was the silence of the grave, un-
broken but by the bitter wag or fainting cry. Two
thousand souls had passed through that must of fire
to the judgment seat of God. Heroic acts of sublime
d.rrigg have not been wanting. Enduring gratitude
h,,.s been excited in every Chilian heart by the
pliant efforts of Mr. Nelson, the minister of the
United States, his countryman, Mr. Meiggs, and several
other foreigners. There were generous men who defied
the fury of the fames to save lives, and seme of them, died
martyrs to their noble hearts. An Englishman or an
America, it is unknown which, was seen to rush through
the jwges, to seize in his powerful arms a lady, stride
with her • little way, and then, his hair in a blaze and
choked with smoke, to fall back into the volcano never to
rise again. A young lady named Orells, having in vain im-
plored some bystanders, on her knees, to save her mother,
rushed in and shortly afterwards miraculously lasted forth,
bearing her glorious load. A young lady named Solar, just
before the smoke suffocated her had the presence of mind
to knot her handkerchief round her leg, so that her corpse
mi4bt be recognised."
The P ria of Valparaiso says that of the 20,030 lamps
:,.(rsi were paraffin, and the explosion of one of the latter
as the cause of the calamity.

TEE DANISH QUESTION.

The Morning Post, of to-day, says :—" We
believe that the governments of Russia, France,
and Sweden have signified their willingness
to assent to the proposal which has been re-
cently put forward by the English government
for the joint recognition of the integrity of the
kingdom of Denmark. The same proposition was
also submitted to the two great German powers.
We hear that, at Berlin, its acceptance has been
made a cabinet question."

MEXICO.

Advicea from Mexico via Savannah state that
the battle of Morelia, which occurred ou the 18th,

No further organised resistance on the part of

Juarez fled secretly without any escort to

Monterey.
The French bad occupied San Luie. The re-
ported capture of Orizaba by the Mexicans is not
credited.
