The War in Denmark,

MARCH 8.
We have by no moans cheering news to-day from
Jutland. The Austrians have advanced very largo
forces against Fredericia and pushed their conquests
' as far as Erritso, and another village, both of them
at about two English miles from the main strong-
hold of Fredericia; the former place lies on the
Sound, and ought to enable the Austrians not only
to bombard the fortress, but also to command the
passage of the Sound to Middlefort, in Funen. The
intelligence has reached headquarters here about
noon, and the telegram was so laconic and oracular
that its real import oaonot be satisfactorily made
out, and the actual loss of the Danes may be ex.
aggerated. It was added that both General Will3ter,

wise uncertain whether they were struck in a gene-
ral action or simply in consequence of their having
rashly ventured too near the enemy at some unim-
portant• encounter at outposts. Both the General
and his chief aide-de-camp were among the bravest
officers of the Danish army, and, as they were daily
dining at our mess at the Hotel Reimuth only ten
or 12 days ago, and had as many
friends as they had
acquaintances, their loss would be very painfully
felt by high and low here. In the event of General
Wilster beingdisabled by his wounds, the command
in Jutland would, in the
natural course of things
devolve on Colonel Neergiard, who has also the
reputation of great ability and courage. Altogether
the news from Fredericia has wrought rather a de-
pressing sensation at Sondezborg. Two other offi-
cers were also wounded. It seems that only one
Danish regiment was engaged.

them by their interpetor. Before leaving, they expressed
themselves as having been greatly Interested.

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening,
T he LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
t he usual hour.

DENMARK.

T he Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that on
the .motion for the adjournment of the house for the Easter
receso ho should call the attention of their lordships to the
exact state of affairs between Germany and Denmark. In
the absence of the noble earl the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, he begged to ask the noble duke opposite
whether the 'cerms of the identical note, which appeared in
the newspapers this morning, containing new proposals
from Austria and Prussia to Denmark for an armistice and
Congress, were authentic?
The Duke of SOMERSET said, in the absence of the
noble earl the Secretary for Foreignkffairs, it would not be
expedient for him to say more than that the terms in the
note appearing in the Morning Post on the subject of an
armistice were substantially correct.
