THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG.

lIAM3URG, FEB. 16.

The IVachrichten publishes advicas from Diippel,
stating that the Ist Regiment of Danish Foot
sallied from their entrenchments and attacked two
Prussian batteries. The Danes are said to have
been almost destroyed.

VIENNA, FEB. 13.

The official Wane). Zeitung publishes a contra-
diction to the reply alleged to have been made by
General von Gablenz to a deputation from the town
of Schleswig. It declares that no deputation
waited upon the General during his stay in the
town.

Ten military surgeons have been sent hence to
bring back convoys of wounded to Austria. In
addition to the medical men attached to the corps
actually on service in Schleswig, 54 others are
employed in hospital duty.
HAMBURG, FEB. 13.

The Austrian Civil Commissioner, Count Rever-
tera, has passed through here upon his way to
Schleswig. The Prussian and Austrian Commis-
sioners will now probably take up their official resi-
dence in the town of Schleswig, as announced by
Baron von Zedlitz, The entirely German population
of that town will not be likely to carry out the expec-
tations expressed to the Flensburgers. The Danish
officials have already abandoned their posts, either
voluntarily or by compulsion, and unmistakeable
Schleswig-Holsteins have been instituted in their
stead by the citizens.

FLENSBURG. FEB. 16.

left for Apenrade.

the approval of the Commissioners.
HAMBURG, Feb. 13.

Intelligence from a Danish source reports that
according to the statement of President Monrad,
the Government has determined to defend Duppel
and Alsen to the utmost.

Intelligence from Rendsburg of yesterday after-
❑oon reports a sharp engagement at Atzbull. The
Austrian soldiers decorated by General von Gablenz
left this morning, with 13 guns taken at Oversee,
for Vienna 400 Danish prisoners were sent this
morning southward.
Nothing certain is known of the battle at Duppel.
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 9.

In addressing the Upper House of the Rigsdag
upon the position of Danmark, President Monrad
spoke as follows :
" Gentlemen I trust that the attempts of foreign
journals to sow mistrust and suspicion in your
hearts will not succeed in creating distrust between
the King and his people. Our position, in truth,
is difficult enough, and we shall find defence suffi-
ciently arduous without this new difficulty being
raised.

" Our best military positions—Duppel and Alsen,
where we have all the same advantages the enemy
had in attacking the Dannewerke—are still ours.
Be assured, gentlemen, that we are steadily bent
upon defending ourselves to the uttermost. We
only ask of you and of the Danish people not to
abandon coolness and self-possession, even if we
should encounter further heavy loss.
1" Depend upon it, gentlemen, if we are to issue
victorious from these trials, it can only be by en-
durance, by holding more and more firmly together
the harder we are tried by misfortune. So will it
come to pass that we shall fight with renewed
strength and ♦igour for the independence and
freedom of our country. This, gentlemen, is the
sense in which we must act. We must know how
to direct our whole energies to the defence of the
country. Nothing but a determined combination of
all of us can impart the requisite strength for op-
position ; nothing but a firm understanding between
King and people can enable us to meet the blow."
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 9, 1864.

At the sitting of the Rigsdag to-day both houses
unanimously adopted the following address to the
Danish army :

" The Dannewirke has been abandoned !

" The Danish Rigsdag has been painfully sur-
prised to learn this fact, but its trust in the future
is by no means weakened, nor will the army have
lost heart.

" The Danish army has been forced to evacuate
Holstein without striking a blow, exposed to the
scorn of the enemy and of the populace ; but during
its retreat it preserved the most perfect order and
dignified calmness. For nearly six weeks past it
has borne inclement weather, hardships and priva
tions, but nevertheless remained true to itself, and
looked forward with ardour to the day of battle.
Battle came. Every man did his duty in the en-
gagements which have occurred, and faced the
enemy with courage.

" The Danish Rigsdag thanks the Danish army.
" The Dannewirke has been abandoned, but the
Rigsdag will never lose confidence in its sons and
brothers, the living Dannewirke of our land. Long
live the army ! As soon as circumstances permit, it
will again go to the front, with God for King and
country ! We trust in the living God, we trust in
the spirit of the people, and we trust in the army,
over which this spirit soars.

"In so earnest a time the Rigsdag will nut forget
its duty. It fulfils but a small part of that duty
when it sends a fraternal greeting to the valiant
army of the Danish land !"

President Monroe declared his pleasure that the
Address expressed no opinion upon the evacuation
of the Dannewirke. He agreed wit 4 the spirit it
displayed, and it was entirely in accordance with
the policy of the Government. With the evacua-
tion of the Dannewirke began the energetic con-
duct of the war.

FLENSBURG, FEB. 10.

The strong fortified position of Duppel, considered
by many equal to the Dannewirke, was formerly not
fortified at all. Now seven independent works upon
the crests of hills present a strong front towards
the west, and lean upon the Alsen Sund, at Suur-
likke, with the right wing, where they are flanked
by batteries upon Alsen ; with the left wing they
join the Venningbond or southern part of the bly.
The works are so constructed that they command
the whole approaches as far as Stenderup. Four
works are placed to the north of the road leading to
the mill
.of Duppel and then to the south. The
earthen ramparts are mostly 20 feet high ;
the moats 12 feet deep by 20 feet broad ;
the gorges of the bastions are chiefly Pali-
saded. Several batteries armed with guns of the
heaviest calibre are placed between the works,
especially bet weeu the Duppel mill and the landing
place of Frendenthal on the Venningbord, situated
that the flanks are defended from the sea, and the
centre from the heights of Duppel. The Allsound
and Nubelnoer afford,hostile gunboats ample oppor-
tunity of taking part in an engagement. The num
ber of creeks and landing places further enable an
enemy to land:his troops suddenly and unnoticed at
points from which they can make demonstrations
in the rear of the attacking party. Two taes-de-
pont serve to cover the passage at Sonderburg, one
of which is a crown work. Several batteries are
placed upon the heights of the Alsen Coast.
The passage to the island of Alsen is not raore

be
difficult than across the Schlei. The arm t
sea between the island and the mainland is narrover
at many places, than even the narrows of the Seide.
The Danish defence by no means commands °ell
points upon the level shore, along which 11311
ground available for artillery extends.
The windings of the strait afford war ships neither
view nor fire from the open sea, nor is the entrance
devoid of danger. The Danish entrenchments uPi3til
the islual are strong, but few in number and eaten
they are not even fully provided with gune, a lar.,,gec
portion of their armament having been sent EISS
to the Dannewirke.

RENDsBuRG,

According to intelligence received
morning, it is now almost certain that the IP'i°r
ere6,i4
part of the Danish army has succeeded in
to Sundewitt and Alsen. The Prussians are lescilt
posted between Aipenrade and Haderaleheo ;
least several Danish prisoners captured in that
quarter have been brought in. It
these prisoners were taken while the Danis hrea;
guard were fighting at Oversee. From which
may conclude that the main body of the arms
considerably in advance, while the rearguard 031 c
