Government. During tl, .e afternoon of yesterday
the electric telegrap Ii bet ,weep this city and Berlin
was continually at A Nork, but the only it iformation
that could be obtaine d from M. von Bietnark was,
that he was as much sar.prised as Count .Rechberg
at what had occurre d. The Berlin Government
will try to make the • r orld believe that the German
cavalry followed then xnes into Jutland in the hea t
of battle, but it is )30t, :likely that the cactus will be
accepted,it being a Wei. 1-known fact that Prussia has
recently been endeavor, -ing to persuade Austria to
allow her troops to cute. - Jutland. At 2 o'q:lock yes-
terday afternoon a Cabi net Council, Kt which the
Emperor presided, w: a held, Hul I to-day Tern
that it lasted full 3 hou rs a.nd a half. Notwithstand-
ing repeated applicatioi. sto Berlin this Government
has been unaNe to learn whether any parr ~f the Im-
perial cavalry was engaeed at Giadsoe, ac d instruc-
tions have therefore been sent to Lieutenr.nr-Gene-
ral von G:.blenz to retnain passiv,.; until he receives
instructions from his superiors in this ci y. It re-
mains to be seen whether Count Rechharg has been
deceived by M.:von Bismat k, or whether the Prus-
sian military authorities have wilfully disre-
garded the orders received from the Royal Cabinet.
As a matter of course, Austria will endeavour to
prove to England toodFrance that she has not broken
the promises made to them in respect: to Denmark,
but it is doubtful whether they will give her credit
for sincerity if she should continue to co-operate
with such a slippery Power as Prussia. It is not
unlike 4 that Marshal Wrangel will receive orders
to quit Jutland immediately, bat if his Sovereign
should refuse to recall his troops from that province,
neither France, England, nor Russia can possibly
allow a German Power to establish itself in a coun-
try which completely commands the North Sea on
the one side and the Baltic on the other. Though
there has been no collusion between Anstria and
Prussia, it cannot justly be said that the policy of
the latter is free from ambigaity.
The Imperial Government would fain stand well
with all parties, and, as a matter of course, it stands
well with none. It continues ro assure the British
and French Governments that its "military action"
is confined to the occupation of Schleswig, and at
the same time it endeavours to win favour with the
Band by ordering 13 heavily-armed vessels of war
to cruise in the Adriatic And Mediterranean for the
protection of the Austrian and German flags. Five
vessels will remain in the waters of the Adriatic,
six in the Mediterranean, and two—the Emperor,
a ship of the tine carrying 91 guns, and the Frede-
rick, a schooner with 22 guns—will go to the North
Sea. A few days ago an embargo was laid on a
Danish vessel at Trieste, but it was raised as soon
as it was found that her owners were Holsteiners.

" During the last four and twenty hours," says a
well-informed diplomatist, " two highly important
resolutions have been taken here—the one is, that
the integrity ofDen mark shall be strictly maintained;
the other, that if the Bund should resolve to admit
a representative of Duke Frederick of Augnsten-
burg—as Doke of Holstein—to its sittings, Baron
Kubeck will enter a protest against such an illegal
proceeding, and then retire from the room." In the
last number of the Frankfort Journal is a passage,
which I quote, as it will serve to show that the
Germans have no high opinion of the patriotism of
the two g►eat Powers :
"At last the mask is fallen. Prussia is to have
Holstein, Schleswig is at a fitting moment to be
restored to Denmark, and Austria is to be rewarded
for her complaisance by Prussia's guaranteeing to
her the possession of Venetia."
The trophies of war from Schleswig arrived here
yesterday, and were at once taken to the Imperial
Mews, where they wiil be exhibited to the public.
The trophies, which consisted of one 4-pounder,
three 24-pounders, two mortars for throwing 841 b.
shells, and 12 Danish flags or pennons, were ac-
companied by twelve men who had received gold
and silver medals as a reward for their ,4allant con-
duct at Gross Selk and Oversee. A. vast crowd ac-
companied the procession from the Northern Rail-
way terminus to the Mews, and every now and then
it,gave vent to its patriotic feelings in loud and
hearty cheers.

HALF•PAST FIVE.
I have just received the following brief but im-
portant notice :
" The temporary occupation or holding was the
conscquenco of an encounter of some Danish and
Austro Prussian troops on the frontier of Jutland.
In as far as Austria is concerned, the .flair will
lead to no alteration in the character of the military
occupation of Schles wig• The ends to be attained
by tnat occupation are the same as they were a
week ago."
