DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

HAMBURG, At:o. 3.
TI o circumstance cf no troops having arrived at
Altona from the north since Surday last gave rise to
the rumour that the were countermanded by their
governments. Such is however not the case. The halt
they are making is owing to the ordnance, the trans-
part a s hied zeroes the Elbe is slow work, and, though
eerily railway train is bringing parks of artillery,
munition waggon., &c., there is still a good deal of it
behind. The etipulasin of the armistice to vocite
Jutland and the northern part of Schleswig is effected
already ; but the commissioners could not agree about
the line of &mane:ion. It isastonishieg that this hi e
was rot fixed upon at Berlin, previous to the treaty
being *ivied. By taking a map at hand, it might
have Fein done there just as well as on the spot.
Besides this difficulty, the Danes will cot
give up those prisoners who are natives of
Schleswig, having separated them from the Hol-
steiners. The treaty says "all the prisoners," but
the Danes are no very nice in keeping solemn en-
gegemeets. If they were, they would have raised
the blockode before now, the conditions having been
fulfilled on our part.
The publication of the Prussian Minister of Com-
mere •, announcing that another diplomaist, M. de
Werthur, wee sent to Copenhagen to treat on the
treaty, and get in the first instance the captured
vessels, shows the incapacity of that ministry who
were ncgociating for m mills and months, and at test
it teems agreed to &wiggle. M. Von der Heyde&
publication made a very bad impression on our Ex-
change to-day, as we must apprehend that things are
far from being settled, and consequently no end to be
seen of the state of blockade, the termination of which
we expected to be so near at hand.
M. Franke, of Schleswig, who was sent by the re-
gency of the duchies to Munich and Stuttgardt, to
solicit the assistance of the governments of Bavaria
and Wirtemberg in the defence of thecountry against
her enemies, returned tt e day before yesterday from
his mission ; with what success is not known ; per-
haps it will transpire on Wednesday next, when the
Diet is to meet, standing adjourned to that day.
SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Copenhagen
papers contain the following proclamation from the-
king :
To my faithful Jutlanders—My paternal wish is com-
pleted; Jutland is at length released from those insurree
tiunary bands, it is liberated from those Imsfile armies,
which have so long demisted their lads. I have returned
my !warty thanks to the true and faithful God, who has held
out his hand over Denmark; I have returned my thanks to
ray valiant soldiers, wh i have heroically defeated the hon-
our of their king and country. You also nay faithful Jet-
hinders bare a claim upon my gratitude. I thank you for
the patience and fortitude, and invincible confidence in the
justness of our cause, with which doting this year, as well
es the last, you .endured all the hardships of war.
It was not for yourselves alma, for what you
suffered and endured, it was for the weal* of
Denmark. Yee, and the whole Danish nation suf-
fered frith you ; and I am assured that my people earnestly
desire to testify by deed, their senentenes for their Jutlaod
brethren. It le, therefore, my intention to lay before the
Diet which will be c,nvoleed this year a project of law rela-
tive to an indemnity for the losses incurred by imposing
them upon all the burghers of the nation ; the nunnery pre-
liminary steps bare elready been taken ; and I dawn doubt
that the Dist will assent unanimously that your Ines emit he
the ions cf the entire nation. Your Mill greats yen ! B.
of good courage, and hold fast with me to tfie conviction
that the severe trials *PI which it has pleased the Almighty
to visit us, will, if rightly received, bear rich fruits for the
future welfare of oar native land.

TURNEY.—Bosma, JULY 31.—The insurgents to
the number of 12,000 have quitted Ponied and have
arrived at Bihae, where they summoned the Pasha
Biscevie to open the city gates. The Puha replied
that he could do so only by orekr of the Sultan, upon
which the insurgents attacked the fortress. The
Puha has been defending the fortreaa for three days
with his adherents, which do not exceed 300 in num-
ber. They have been obliged to have recourse to
their cannons, and the Pubs his sent to demand
assistance from Bosnia : unhappily the government of
Bosnia is unable to comply immediately, being obliged
in the first instance to procure orders from Constanti-
nople. M. homed Boy and Effendi Bey have tied to
Oaxaca, where they have entrenched thenmelves. A
price has been set upon the head of Kerin, the princi-
pal of the insurgents.. An attempt has already been
made to assassinate him, which, however, proved
abortive. It is welted that the insu-gent rajahs,
who in religion, language, and customs, are allied to
their near neighbours, the Croats and Solavonians
of the Austrian emigre. demand the same rights and
privileges u those enjoyed by the Mussulmen. This
, movement msy be for Austria a source of grave com-
plications, for if the insurgents fight as it were ander
