Address of the Rigsdag to King Christian,

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 27.
Both Houses of the Rigsdag passed an address to
King Christian the day beforo yesterday. The
draught was unanimously approved by the Lands-
thing ; the Folkething did not accept it until after
a lengthened debate and the rejection of several
amendments. The following is the full text of the
address.:

" Most Gracious Sovereign !
"In the deep sorrow of the Danish people at the
sudden decease of your illustrious predecessor, it
was a consolation and a solace to behold your Ma-
jesty treading in the footsteps of our late lamented
Monarch, by securing our freedom and indepen-
dence, in opposition to the representations and de-
mands of the foreigner to withdraw the Constitu-
tion of the 18th November last. The outbreak of
war, however, soon destroyed the hope of a peaceful
development of our affairs. After the German Con-
federation, under pretence of an execution, had
occupied Holstein and Lauenburg, the German
duchies of your Majesty, with Federal troops, and
under their protection permitted a revolution, to the
advantage of an unauthorised Pretender, the great
Powers of Germany have sent their armies across
the frontier of the kingdom of Denmark. This step,
as they assert, has been taken in order to seize as a
pledge the Danish country of Schleswig, which was
in 1721 once more incorporated and guaranteed to
the Danish Crown, and over which neither Germany
nor her great Powers have ever.possessed the right
of guardianship. After two honourable engagements
our bravo army yielded to, superior numbers, and
abandoned the frontier fortress we had held 1,000
years, and is now only in possession of a small
portion of Schleswig. Tue enemy has overrun the
remaining portion of this country, and has suffered
foreign bands and rebellious subjects to drive away
many faithful servants of your Majesty, and to
overthrow legal order. Within the last few days,
indeed, intelligence has been received that he has
also invaded the province of Jutland.
" Most Gracious Sovereign

" In such serious circumstances your Majesty's
faithful Landsthing (Folkething) feels the necessity
of expressing itself frankly and without reserve
towards its King in the name of the people by whom
it has been chosen. A war against superior num-
bers will require great and heavy sacrifices, but
where confidence reigns between King and people
will be waged in the hope of a fortunate result. In
this solemn hour we must seek consolation in the
fact that the came of the people is the cause of the
King, that your Majesty will faithfully protect our
freedom and independence, and will never permit
that in future guardianship should be extended
across the frontiers of Denmark, or the connection
between the kingdom and Schleswig be weakened
upon any pretext of right.

"After the decided declaration of your Majesty's
Government, the people may reckon that the whole
strength of the country will be applied to the pro-
secution of the war, as well as that your Majesty
will strive to show Europe that our national exist-
ence and our free right of self government never
must be sacrificed. Your Majesty, on the other
hand, may feel assured that the blessings of freedom
have strengthened the love of the people to their
country, and have, at the same time, added to their
readiness to bring every sacrifice for the right and
honour of Denmark.

"Mutual confidence thus binding King and peo-
ple firmly together, we shall be able to meet the
chances and dangers of war with cheerful courage.
Hail to the King!
Hail to our bravo army I
Hail to our beloved country I"
