DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

In the sitting of tit, Sala['swig-Holstein Amenably
of the 16th, Kamphiivener add-essed an interpelle-
Con to the and. r e‘cretary if tiro fo:eign &pertinent
on Rubio< t. of the bare which had bean adopted at
Berlin f r ;race with Denmark. Ile had beta
alarmed by wring a passage in the Deutsche Reform,
shirt'. pissed for the ia'nisterial organ at B-tlin, and
wh'eh declared that, if th.. indept Memo of Schleswig
could be secured by the treaty, all mo'ive for con-
tinnin2 tl.e war fell to the grourd. Now there was
tr.t a men i t that hoes?, or rather in all the duchies,
wbo did t o• know that they were not fighting fir the
ro-c dled dem trlonre of Schlrs'c g.hatfrrhetrim
of S,lll, swig with Holstein, an ird feasible right of
the duchies, the att..l. la' to viol te %Wet by the King
of Denmark had led to the war. Pru.sia had en'ered
int') the most ergsgemente to maintain that
union, as the hon. deputy proved by roadint first the
letter of the King of Prussia to the Duke of Angu4-
tenburg, on Much 24. 1848; secondly, tie declara-
tion of the Prussian srobiss cl,,r in the si,,ir,g of the
G•rnan Diet on April, 2, 1848. that tee ri 'ht of llel-
Wein to r. main unit d with Schleswig bad been rio•
leted he the King Denmark's answer to the Schles-
wig-Holstein dep itation; and t=at en this account
I Piussia had unsheathed the sword ; and, lastly, the
resolutimm of th diet on the 4th and 12. h Alia in
ronsequeeer of V.e de:larati oo just mentioned, which
rlecre d that in c ueD nmark tcfu-t d tosuspend Itnetili-
ties and wi.hdraw the Danish troops from the duchy of
Scleswig, srhich they hal invaded, this r stilt must
h ohsi, ed ,hrou7h f ire-, in order to m...ntlin the
rids' of 11,11a.en ti urn in with Schleswig, which was
clnfld ol to the protection of the G.-rman Confedera-
tion. In the fare of such binding cbl gations, it was
ircreclibl,. that P,us-ia was now going to bttrav the
c use fur which she had entered lien the war, and for
which so much of .od had been spil'ed, and to allow
Domestic conquered to impose the terms of a con-
quemr. But this, which be believed nut, should
he true, then hs felt wurei that such an injurious
peace would never be signed by any man in
the duchies who had one spark of honour.
If they were abinchonsi by Prussia, they must carry
on the war by themselves. This announcement, ap-

perrirg as it aid in a j,.nrral rt pn ed to be the 91 gav
of the Praeeian• governmi-nt. rrquired explanation.
He woull therefore ask of the under stqrerary for
foreign affairs wl'e•her he was it firmed that the
inder endence rf Schleswig was assurnet as the babe
of the nego'iations for pC3C3 with Denmark which
sure cirrird on at Berlin. .

Thereupon the and r-s. eretary, Harbon, answered
that no official information had reach-d him as to
what bise had betn settled for the uego htiors in
quee•ion.
Reforing to the shove, our Berlin cirrespondent
rays : —" Two cams(', I think, et this moment (wilt
the least doubt as to the union with Holstein having
bten given up."
