M. le Comte,—The Government of the King, by basing
on the stipulations of 1851-52 the rights which in concert
with Austria it is proceeding to enforce upon Denmark, has
by this very act recognised the principle of the integrity of
the Danish monarchy as established by the transactions of
1851-52. The Government of the King, in proceeding to
the occupation of Schleswig, do not intend to depart from
this principle. If, however, in consequence of complica-
tions which may be brought about by the persistence of the
Danish Government in its refusal to accomplish its promises
of 1852, or of the armed intervention of other Powers in the
Dano-German conflict, the King's Government were to find
itself compelled to renounce combinations which would no
longer offer a result proportionate to the sacrifices which
events might impose upon the German Powers, no defini•
tive arrangements could be made without the concurrence
of the Powers who signed the Treaty of London. The Bri-
tish Government would then find the King's Government
ready to come to an agreement with them as to the defini-
tive arrangement of the Deno-German question.
Your Excellency is requested to read and give a copy of
this despatch to Earl Russell.—Receive, &c.,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANNOYING THE PASSENGERS IN AN OMNIBUS, AND
ASSAULTING THE CONDUCTOR.—COMMITTAL WITHOUT
FINE.—John Dennis, potman at the Ship public-house,
Wardour-street, was charged before Mr, Knox with assault-
ing Charles Adkens, the conductor of an omnibus.
The conductor said that, about ten minutes past nine last
night, the prisoner and two others got into his omnibus at
King's-cross. The passengers complained to him that the
prisoner and his companions were annoying and insulting
them, and making use of very bad language. He spoke to
them, and requested them to keep quiet or to leave the om-
nibus. The prisoner and his companions were quiet for the
time, but shortly after began their annoyance again, and a
gentleman who got out said the ladies in the omnibus were
being much annoyed and insulted by them. He again spoke
to the prisoner and requested him to keep quiet, using the
most conciliatory language towards him so as to pacify him.
On the prisoner getting out at the Regent-circus he said,
"I should like to give you a -- punch on the head," and
immediately after, on he (the conductor) persuading him to
go away, gave him a violent blow in the mouth and another
on the nose. He then felt it his duty for the protection of
his customers, and on account of the prisoner's offensive
language, to give him into custody.
Mr. John Barnham, of 33, Sloane-square, said he got
into the omnibus of which the complainant was the conduc-
tor, accompanied by his wife. The defendant, with some
companions, annoyed and grossly insulted the passengers.
The conductor behaved with great forbearance, and expos-
tulated with the man, and the prisoner threatened to strike
a gentleman who complained of their conduct. The con-
ductor was very civil throughout, but on the prisoner get-

ting out at the Regent-circus he struck the conductor in the
face in a violent manner.

Police constable Riscorla, 69 G, proved taking the pri-
soner into custody, and said the conductor was bleeding
from the nose and mouth.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable sail the prisoner
had been drinking.
Prisoner said he was quite sober and had not interfered
with anybody, and that he struck the constable in self-
defence.

Mr. Knox observed that he did not believe the prisoner,
the more especially after the evidence of the witness (Mr.
Barnham). It was a very bad case. The prisoner had got
into the omnibus, annoyed the passengers, and then as-
saulted the conductor, who was simply discharging his
duty. He should commit the prisoner for a month, with-
out the option of paying a fine.
The prisoner was then committed.
