DENMARK.

It has been given out from official quarters that
the ministerial crisis in Denmark is over, and that
the most perfect harmony reigns in the Copenhagen
cabinet; but the Prenssesclee Zcitunq, generally very
well informed on Danish subjects, denies this. The
assumption of the command of the Holstein contin-
gent by General Bardenfleth, and the appointment
of Danish officers to that corps, certainly seemed to
bespeak the confidence of the great powers,but these
powers had
.previously received the assurances they
desired from the Danish government, and there is a
long way between this fact and the real relinquish-
ment of Denmark and the Duchies to their natite
authorities; so that too much weight has doubtless
been laid upon it. Meantime, the efforts of the
ministry to agree with respect to the programme
have been hitherto, the best-informed say, in vain.
The opinion of M. Peruke, touching the Danish
succession question, is given in the Kreutz Zcituol,
as follows:

Ist. That on the extinction of the male Danish line, the
right of succession of the Sonderburg house comes into
force, and this legally acknowledged title, and by virtue of
treaties concluded with the royal and Gottrop line.
2nd. That the house of Gottrop, also the Emperor of
Russia and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, likewise the
crown of Denmark, are by treaty bound, on tho extinction
of the Danish male line, to procure for the Sonderburg
house, in its chief, the Duke of Augustenburg, as equiva-
lent for Oldenburg, the Grand-dukedom (gros' funtlahot
Antheil) of Holstein.
3rd. That the Gottrop house and its chief, the Emperor
of Russia, have in no way any claim to the succession on
the Graud-dukedom (gross furstlichen Theil) of 11..lstein,
whilst any of the male line of the Sonderburg house exists.

SOUTHAMPTON, Wrovrso.tv.

dols., from the Pacific, the Spanish main, and the

broken out in Green Island in a very malignant form.
From Demerara we learn that the Governor had
withdrawn from the Court of Policy the plan of reform
of the legislation institution, alleging as reasons of
so doing, that he had no desire to consent to a sur-
render of the prerogative of the crown, and that he
was reluctant to press through the court, by a ma-
jority composed chiefly of official members, measures
not approved of by the majority of the elective sec-
tion, although popular among the community. Be-
fore the Court of Policy adjourned, the following
resolution was passed:

That it is the opinion of this court that the sum of
50,000/., as part of the parliumentarr loan, should be ap-
plied to the introduction of Chinese immigrants.
