DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Telegraphic advice. from the Duchies, received in
Berlin, are to thseffrot that the advanCed posts of the
contending forces had -coma to blows in the neigh-
bourhood of Flensburg. The Danes retired, and the
Holsteiners lost 20 killed aad wounded.
General Williern, on the sight of the 21st instant,
hewed the following proclamation :

We are able to give the following extracts from a
private letter, dated Kiel, July 21, which, besides the
interesting information it contains on the present
position of attire in the Duchies, enables ur, by the
quiet, calculating resolution of its tone, to realise in a
remarkable degree the moral intensity of the struggle
about to commence. . .

That we were resolved not to yield, is of tours what you
expeetand. The Dubin are perhaps the only eountey so•
in Gettnany, with sufficient indivi :witty of character, and,
owing to the d•tp41.14404 0111941/Talsal of its people, with
sufficient moral strength left, to form as one men a res. lotion
of this kind, and to carry it into ezeestion with energy. We
have no reason foe thinking that the latter will fail
us. The prevailing disposition is one of c)11, quie'

manifestos* have left no sort of impression. The mildness of
their tone is too thin a sloes over the Mier 'curiae. onus
of their contents to di c, ire any one. The lite negotia-
tions must have proved to all the world that Denmark is
bent on obtaining just the reverse of what we consider the
utmost limit to which we sire justified in going. Even
Tacherning and the extreme peace par y at Copenhagen are
deternined on getting nothing lees than the seovation of
the Duchies, recognising indeed the separate independence
of Schleswig and Holstein as provincm, with the withdrawal,
however, of the latter from ita old connexion with the G.
man conf.deration. Itirce, our positim is much as fol-

general attack of the Danish army on our positions at Id-

gagement.
From Hamburg, under date July 22, we learn that
the greater number of ..he vessels composing the
Raman fleet continue to occupy a position at the
mouth of the port of Kiel. Its different steamers
are employed in conveying Danish munitions sal
troops from the islands. If the intelligence arriving
here from the Baltic is to be cred.ted, a second Rus-
sian fleet, with 10,000 troops on board, is on the
point of leaving the port of Cronetadt for the Schles-
wig Holstein coast. Sweden *lsola to send a squadron
under the command of Prince Oscar, and it is not
thought impossible that England may send a mari-

strong cannonade has been heard here from the
Eckenforde coast.

pletely at the distr.:said the departmeats ; bet the re-
maining Nivea forma common fund, whieh is distri-
bated by the government according to their several
needs" es that the rich departments have to help the
pot one. This awatiginnent has naturally bora kat
a Nero of oompleint, and is now under the 'onside-
ratios of a Insaeial committee appointed to report ea
reforms of the direst contributions. These remotes
form together i total of 34 millions. After the ordi-
nary expenses, which are obligatory, for the iodate-
nano et tenting establishments, eons the voluntary,
or, as they are called, facultative expenses, for the ob-
ject of creating new roads, buildings, and other
improvements. To cover these, the law allows
the eouneils-general to impose a rate of
firs hundredths, which produces about too
millions. Now M. Berryer stated yesterday that
mast of the departments, sot being able to sever their
ordinary etpenees with the fund. appointed for this
object, are c iiiged to have recourse to the facultative
resources, 'thus exhausting the means of improvement.
Hence the budget of the commission has proposed to
raise from 6to 7 hundredths, the rates sswd by the
councils-general, which would prods.e an imams of
4 millions. This important amendment was adopted
by the Assembly.
MM. Detente, Amend, and Bao presented yester-
day. at the doe of the sitting, a motion which aims
at the abrogation of the electoral law of May 31.
The ultra-legitimists are prepared to bring forward a
similar proposition.
M. Mole, and other members of the majority, have
prevented a motion fur putting the representatives on
half pay during the prorogation.
The destination of the French fleet is said to be
Schleswig-Holstein, in order to tate part in the pro-
bable intervention for the settlement of the position of
the Dushit • to Denmark.

M. gouger., responsible editor of the S. and M.
Louis Desnoyers.the author cf./ea/14one published in
that journal. epplred yesterday before Abe Court of
Assises to bike their trial on a charge of insult against
the President of the Republic, and exciting to hatred
and contempt of the government. Tim jury, after a
short delibera, ion, pronounced a verdict of not guilty,
and the pirties were acquitted.
The lositute held a sitting yesterday to elect the
three members who an to represent it in the superior
council of instruction. The five clines gave a total of
147 votes. fhe absolute majority was therefore 74.
M. 'Tiers obtained on the first ballot 100 votes, and
M. Fl Amens 86.

These two were therefore proclaimed members of
the superior council. On the 2nd ballot M. Beugnot
obtained 76 votes, and was thus elected the third
member. The other candidates were M. Barthelemy
St. filial= and ti. Pouillet. It has been previously
dated that M. Guisot declined presenting himself as
a competitor for this homer, which has thus fallen
upon the main contrivers of the Jesuitical law.
M. Boutique hes presented a counter-iroject to the,
Mortgage bill.
The President will reside daring the vacation at
the Trianon, to be near the camp at Versailles. with
which he will be much ceeopied.
The article of the 3foniteur du Soir seems to have
' had some influence upon the Bourse to day at the
opening. Toe Fives fell 30 centime, in consequence,
it was said, of this threatening sign of conflict between
the executive and the legislature. But the funds
ruled later, and closed at a slight improvement on the
prices of yesterday.
