laQ answer in the sense indicated above had

already arrived, is entirely false ; the first, which
was telegraphed to the Nord in the beginning of
December, that the King of Denmark had sudd-nly
suspended all sales of domains in the German
Duchies, has but a very small portion of truth.
Another, to the effect that France and Russia had
protested against the two German Powers following
up this cause of complaint against Denmark as a
purely Dano German affair, and had required that
it should be broil eht before the Conference, that
was expected to ss sit at Paris in December, and
take cognisance of other matters than the Bessara-
bian frontier, is in a great measure true Both Count
Moltke and subsequently his successor, as Repre-
sentative of Denmark at Paris, Baron Dirckinck
Holmfeld, have been indefatigable in plying the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his Minister on this
subject, in conjunction with Count Kisseleff and
Baron Brunnow, but the only result that they have
obtained has been, that Baron Bourqueney in
Vienna has made some enquiries on the sub-
ject, simultaneously with Baron Budberg ; to these
enquiries, as also to some put forward in no hostile
spirit at this Court by the Marquis de Moustier,
the two German Courts are understood to have
returned very categorical ansews, that the matter
at issue between them and Denmark was simply a
Dan o-German matter, and did not immediately con-
eel ii the rest of Europe.
The most patriotic and spirited journal of
Copenhagen, Fcedrelandet, has been unremitting
during these last two or three months in arousing
the attention of its readers to the false course
pursued by the Scheele Ministry, in endeavouring
by forcible compression and oppression to amal-
gamate the German Duchies with the Danish
islands ; it points out that the harshness and
injustice done to those indepencies will always
implicate Denmark with the German Powers,
which have a treaty right to interfere in the
matter ; and sees the most imminent danger ac-
cruing to Denmark if she does not seize the present
opportunity of setting herself straight with Ger-
many. The course that will lead to this is, accord-
ing to Fosdrelandet, either to convert the present
bungle of the Heelstat into a United Kingdom, or
else to eliminate the German Duchies ; in other
words, that the attempt to amalgamate by pressure
the heterogeneous elements (Scandinavian and
German) into one homogenous monarchy has been
a failure, and that oneness is only to be obtained
by a union between the different parts, or by get-
ting rid of the foreign elements. This latter plan
formed the second subject of my letter of
the 28th of November last, in connection with the
constantly increasing conviction of the necessity
of creating a strong Scandinavian Power at the '
mouth of the Baltic, that shall serve as a barrier
equally against Russia from the east, and Germany
from the south. That letter was the pre-
cursor of an article on the same subject in the
Parisian journal La Presse and both have formed
the text since then of numerous articles in the
Stockholm Aftonbladet and the Copenhagen
Feedrelandet. The Danish Government journal,
the Berlingske Tidning, has also found it necessary
to renounce its habits of silence and resume the
publication of leading articles, which. es far as they
have come to my knowledge, have been specially
directed to this subject of Scandinavism, as it is
called. With this evidence of the importance and
interest attached to the subject I shall feel justified
in troubling you with some further remarks on it
to-morrow.
P. S.—Since writing the above a letter from
Copenhagen has been received, in which it is
stated that the Danish answer to the German
remonstrances, containing a refusal to comply with
them, and accompanied by a memorial detailing
the reasons for doing so, was definitively agreed to
at a Ministerial Council held at Copenhagen on
the 21st of January, under the Presidency of the
King, and that it was believed that it would be
delivered at its address, in Berlin and Vienna,
before the end of that month. This has, I believe,
not yet taken place, but it is evidence at least that
the answer may be expected very soon. Herr von
Bulow, who was the bearer of the last answer of the
Danish Government to the German Powers, is
about to sent on a mission to Paris and London.
This looks very much like applying for the inter-
vention of England and France in the matter.
