The State of Jutland.

The Berlingske Tidende of October 4 contains a
very distressing account of the hardships to which
the people of Jutland are subjected by the army of
occupation. After showing the great interest, com-
mercially aid financially, which Denmark must
have in a speedy settlement of the matters in dis-
lute between her and Germany, and the absurdity,
therefore, of supposing that Denmark is throwing
any obstacle in the way of an equitable adjustment,
the Berlingske Tidende proceeds to say
The information we receive from Jutland is moat afflict-
ing, and it would appear as though the German authorities
were striving to make the yoke which they have imposed
more intolerable every day to the unfortunate inhabitants
of the province. It is well known that after the armistice
the allied powers engaged to keep in Jutland only such a
number of troops as was required by purely military con-
siderations, yet the army of occupation amounts to between
35,000 and 40,000 men, and the cost of their m aintenance is
nearly £112,000 per month. Moreover, by a recent order
of General von Falkenstein all the troops have been con-
centrated in the principal towns of the eastern coast, even
in those which were not occupied on the 2d of August,
for the purpose of making them their winter quarters, The
rations of provisions and forage have been so much aug-
mented that it is materially impossible for the people to
meet the burdens imposed on them whilst they have only
one or two rooms in their own houses, all the others being
given up to German soldiers and officers. But this is not
all. Under pretence that the ordinary revenues of the pro
vince are inadequate to supply the wants of the army, all
the imports from the Danish isles are subjected to a customs'
duty, whilst, at the same time the exportation of the cattle,
butter, and the other agricultural products of Jutland is
prohibited. These measures, added to those which were
already in force, and which are entirely opposed to the
text and spirit-of the armistice, are causing the total ruin of
the people. The Danish Government, who feel sensibly for
the condition of the Jutlanders, have made representations
on their behalf to the courts of Berlin and Vienna on the
subject of those severities, which are tho more difficult of
explanation, as the people of Jutland have net given the
military authorities the slightest ground of complaint or
disquietude. We can hardly credit the statement of an
officious journal of Berlin that these proceedings had been
adopted in order to force the Danish Government to accept
financial conditions which were not within the scope of the
preliminaries of peace, and which would be fraught with
the gravest consequences to Denmark.

A number of shops were closed on Monday in
Paris owing to the Jews celeb-atin their fete of the Grand
Pardon. On that account likewise persons of that religious
persuasion alisentel themselves from the Bourse, and gene-
rally abstained flow, business of every kind.

FALSE TAILS.--A mole killer of Monthey in

is now complete from Swansea to Pontypool-road, Ilereford,

the opening of this route the principal difficulty in conneP°‘

was procured from Draeld and Bridlington. The W.ctioed

vengeance for some supposed gri,Jvauce. Of course, bliet
the sixth fire in a 10. w days, and in the heart of the dijaro
so fearfully visited last winter, the affair has spread
far and wide.
