- THE, WAR IN DEN.MA.RK.
The Earl of MALMESBURY, seeing the noble earl the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his place, begged
to ask him whether he had received any information touch-
ing a declaration that hall been published at Berlin with
respect to Denmark. The noble earl then referred to a
statement on the subject, which appeared in the Morning
l'ost of that day.

Earl RUSSELL said he was sorry the noble earl had
not given him notice of his intention, as it would have
enabled him to answer him more correctly. What
was stated was, that the Commander-in-Chief of the Army
had no orders to send troops to Duppel, and it was not his
intention to do so ; that afterwards, when the Danish troops
were on th 6 frontier they took up a position on
their front, and the Prussians thought they were
then justified in crossing and occupying the
fort. IN o order had been given them to enter Jutland, and
the conduct of the officer who had ordered the troops
to do so had not been approved. With regard to
that part of the ncble earl's question, based
upon the report in thtt morning's paper, what he
understood the Prime Minister to say was, the intention of
the German powers was to make the war local in order to
obtain what was called a material guarantee, but the
Danish Government in giving orders for the seizure
of Prussian and German ships had wide the war general,
and that if those ships were seized, the Prussian Govern-
' ment must demand compensation, not for the general ex-
penses of the war, but for the value of the cargoes of those
ships, and retain the material " guarantee" until the claim
I was satisfied.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH askbd if there had
been any communication from Austria, or whether the
matter was purely Prussian?
Earl RUSSELL said it was entirely from Prussia. He
had not founded his remarks on anything like a despatch,
but was simply gathered from a conversation with a Prus-
sian Minister. He had reason to believe that the Austrian
Government would endeavour to moderate the action of
their Generals,

teacher,' he will lie counted io the credit of the training

under the minute of March 21, 1863?
Mr. LQW,E paid that it was objectionable tgadmit appli-
