DESPATCH FROM BARON ROSENKRANTZ, DANISH

SECRETARY OF LEGATION AT FRANKFORT.

" Oct. 22, 1863.

" At the sitting of the Federal Diet to-day the
President informed the Assembly that he had re.
ceived two fresh despatches from Sir Alex.Malet for
communication to the Diet, and at the same time
caused lithographed copies to be distributed among
the members. Upon the motion of the President the
despatches were referred to the united committees.
" Freiherr von der Pfordten hereupon brought in
the report, with which your excellency is already
acquainted, upon Earl Russell's despatch of the 29th
ult. He observed in the introduction that three
points required to he taken into consideration-1.
The summons to stay the execution, to which reply
had already been given by reference to the united
committees. 2. The well-meaning intentions of
England, on account of which the committees had
drawn np the plain reasons for their positions in so
mild a form. 3. The mediation proposal, which, the
matter in hand being a purely Federal question, was
entirely unacceptable.

Won by six lengths; had third. Pearl Diver bolted.

"The President proposed that the votes should
immediately be taken. Herr von Scherff requested
delay to obtain instructions. Baron Kubeck and
Herr von der Pfordten opposed this, the latter in
especial endeavouring to demonstrate that imme-
diate voting would in no way infringe the rights of
Denmark; the question under discussion was of un-
authorised interference of a foreign Power in a
Federal matter. The right, the dignity, and the in-
terests of the Diet required its instantaneous rejec-
tion. Herr von Scherff's motion being put to the
vote, all the other ambassadors voted against it.
The vote upon the proposition of the committee was
therefore immediately proceeded with. The propo-
sition was agreed to by all, except Denmark and
the Netherlands. The representatives of Hanover
and Baden offered a few unimportant remarks by the
latter declaring himself for the rejection of the Eng-
lish intervention, although opposed to the execu-
tion, bat all the other members simply voted in the
affirmative. Herr von Scherff hereupon made the
following declaration in the name of the King's
Government ;
" As the interim Ambassador has been unable to
obtain the instructions of his Government respect-
ing the propositions of the united committees, ho is
obliged to abstain from voting, and reserves the
right of making a further declaration.'
"He also abstained from voting on behalf of the
.cetherlands.

"The other subjects treated by the Diet had no
connection with the constitutional question in
Holstein.

" According to the statements of Herr von Scherff
the frame of mind of all the ambassadors to the Diet
is very warlike. Federal execution a tout prix is
demanded. Herr von der Pfordten in especial was
vehement at a private interview in passionate out-
breaks against Denmark. He spoke of England's
proceedings in contemptuous terms; said that be
only desired war, and even advocated sending the
Austrian fleet into the Baltic. The Prussian Am-
bassador, who is said to be instructed not to hurry
on the matter, allows himself to be carried away
by his personal sympathy and the general opi-
nion.—l have the honour to be, &c.,

light in which I regard his peculiar position in the
matter, sedulously to avoid everything which might
show distrust of his statements or his power. On
the other hand, the circumstance that the report
bears upon the proposal for a reply to a step
undertaken by England gave me an opportunity of
immediately drawing the attention of the Britannic
Ambassador to what I, at least, regard as its insuf-

international portion of the Dano•German dispute,
but I laid especial stress upon the high degree in
which the view of the King's Government was jus-
tified by the true character of the announced Federal
execution, and the invasion of the international dis-
played in the report. I showed further how the
publication of this document at the present time
must necessarily place great obstacles in the way of
all efforts for the maintenance of peace, and of any
inclination of the King's Government to do what
lay in its power for the suceess of these attempts.
" Sir Andrew Buchanan admitted that the report

left much to be desired, but, nevertheless, did not
think he could perceive in it the deviation I found
it to present from the statements of Herr von Bias
march,:and the assurance he had repeatedly given
me that the matter was in the best possible train.
Herr von Bismarck was sincere in his endeavours to
find a peaceful issue, but he had to contend in this
respect with many and great difficulties, and these
were not lessened by the general knowledge of the
position which he had always formerly taken up
with relation to the Holstein question. The report
as now drawn up had been rendered by the exec.
tions of the Prussian Government a very different
thing to what it was in the original draft ; and it
was now the beginning of a retreat the continuation
of which it could not be in the interest of the King's
Government to obstruct. Sir Andrew Buchanan
begged me to communicate this view to your Ex.
cellency. He considered it, further, of the highest
importance that the King's Government should
allow itself to be influenced by the present incident
in the reply now to be delivered at Frankfort, and
also directed my attention to the fact that the Diet,
while confining its rejection of mediation to inter.
vention in the constitutional relations of Holstein
and Lauenbarg, left open the door for mediation in
the entire question in dispute. One of the condi-
tions of such a mediation, as he pointed out to me
it was self•evident, must be stay of execution.
" Your excellency is probably acquainted with the
last despatch of Earl Russell to Sir A. Malet. In
this despatch it is stated that ber Britannic Ma.
jesty's Government will modify the patent of March
30, in accordance with the resolutions of the Diet
of March 8, 1860, so that its conditions, equally
with the decrees of the resolutions, should only be
provisional. I have cause to believe that such a modis
fication of the patent would greatly contribute to-
wards averting the execution ; bat according to
the counsel I have received from influential and
well•informed quarters I believe further it would
not be advisable to repeat the statement that the
King's Government had already given Holstein all
that the Diet demanded by the patent of March 30,
as this would not facilitate the desired spirit of
concession. I am of opinion it would be more
useful and more effectual if the King's Govern.
meat confines itself to adding to the declaration of

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.--On Friday, the 26th nit.,
a serious accident happened to Mr James Hall, of Scarbo-
rough, between Grantown and Tomintoul, when on his
way to Lard Henry Bentinck's shooting lodge at Incbrory.
In descending a hill one of the horses became unmanageable,
and the carriage was overturned down a declivity by the
side of the road. Mr Hall sustained a compound fracture of
the leg, and was removed to Grantown, where, under the
care of Professor Syme, of Edinburgh, and Mr Houston, he
is progressing as favourably as could bo expected, consi-
dering the severe nature of the injury,

modification a general statement that it was believed
all the demands of the Diet respecting the consti.
tional affairs of Holstein would thereby be fulfilled,
and especially in such a manner that no dieposal
could in any way be made of the revenues of the
Duchy without the consent of the Estates. Your
excellency is aware, from my previous despatch, of
the distinction (hewn by Herr von Bismark be-
tween the Federal and international portions of the
Dano-German question. I know, upon good
authority, !hut ho has kid down the following more
definite and mere extensive difference. In charac-
terising the Dano-Gt:rre in dispute three main
points must always be kept distinctly apart :-1.
The question of the Holstein special constitution,
which is a purely internal Federal matter; 2. The
Schleswig question, which is a purely international
matter ; and 3. The question of the position of
Holstein in the constitutional organisation of the
German monarchy. This last is a question of mixed
character, but Herr von Bismark is disposed to
regard it as international.
"It is naturally the interest of the English Ama
bassador at this Court in every way to keep the field
open for the activity his Govet nment is about to dis-
play ; but your excellency knows, as well as I, that
he is as well affected towards the King's Govern-
ment as he is loyal ; and I think therefore all ad-
vice coming from him at least deserves the most
matare examination. In addition to this, I know
he has good sources of information, and he tells me
that, according to the statements of Herr von Bis-
mark to him, he has the best hope that, provided
the King's Government shows great foresight and
great moderation, the matter may now perhaps be
better arranged than we have hitherto reason to ex.
oect. According to his; confidential statement to
me, Herr von Bismarck recently said, Let the
Holstein question only be settled, and there is no
longer any risk. If the Danish Government gives
Holstein what the Diet demands, execution is im-
possible ; and as for the second part of the matter,
assuredly nobody will go to war for that.'
" I must beg your excellency, out of regard for
Herr von Bismarck and Sir A. Buchanan, to regard
this despatch as entirely confidential, so that the
statements therein can neither be traced directly
nor indirectly to one or the other.—l have the hon-
our, &o. (Signed) "G. QUAADE."

DESPATCH FROM THE DANISH AMBASSADOR IN

BERLIN.

" Oct. 24, 1863.

"Your Excellency,—The telegram I have had
the honour to forward to your excellency to-day is
not the result of a conversation between Herr von
Bismarck and myself. I have the information it
contains from another source, and it therefore, per-
haps, leaves something to be desired in respect to
clearness. The contents of my despatch, however,
are the result of a combination of the information
received from the abovenamed source, with the state-
ments of Herr von Bismarck, as generally repro-
duced in my despatch of the 21st ult.
"I take the meaning to be that in addition to the
admission of perfect competence for the future laid
down by the patent of 30th March, and the offer
to make the whole further contents of the patent
the subject of negotiation, so that these contents
shall be only provisional, satisfaction of all other
complaints of the Diet, in so far as they relate
to acts of the Government prior to the patent of
March 30, will be demanded by these acts being
submitted to the Estates. Whether it be neces-
sary to go further back than the declaration of
July 31, 1861, I cannot say, The statements of
Herr von Bismark to me appear to point to such
an intention, but I do not think it can be neces-
sary, even from the point of view of the Federal
Dint.

"During my last sty at Copenhagen I had the
honour to point out verbally toy our excellency where-
in, according to my opinion, lay the danger of an exe-
cution, and at the same time state what might follow
as the result of that measure, regarded from another
side. This latter might, perhaps, uncle: certain
circumstances, outweigh that danger. But con-
siderations thereupon based appear to rae to give
place to the possibility of entirely avoiding execu-
tion ; and provided this could be done without re-
voking the patent of March 30, so that it should
still remain among the archives, probably no sacri-
fice compatible with the dignity of :he King's Go-
vernment would be too great. This is more especi-
ally the case, as I must assume there are European
Governments which desire a war as well as several
German Governments, and that there is at least
one among those Governments which would hardly
be upon our side.—l have the honour, &c.

" G. QUAADE,"

DESPATCH TO THE DANISH AMBASSADOR AT BERLIN

" Copenhagen, Oct. 26,1863.

Sir—Enclosed I forward:you the declaration the
King's Minister at Frankfort has received orders to
make to the Diet. In this document I have shown
in the most striking manner the distinction be-
tween the Federal side and the international side
of the question. The Federal side is that in sup-
port of which the Diet cites the stipulations of the
Federal acts, and the Federal character of which
springs from the fact that an execution undertaken
in Holstein would prove a sufficient means of carry-
ing out the decrees of the Diet. The international
side is that which seeks support in transactions
outside the Federal acts, such as those of 1851-52, '
and the international character of which is shown
by the absolute impossibility for the Diet to avail
itself of the occupation of Holstein to carry its de•
ereee into execution itself.
" The King's Government is quite ready to fulfil
those demands of the Piet which appertain to the
first category. You will see that, in conformity
with your advice, we have enoaneed as a general
thesis the principles that the Holstein Estates shall
be admitted to exercise entire legislative power upon
the part of Holstein in common affairs. In speak-
ing of the patent of the 30th March we have said
that in our opinion it has sufficiently established the
same principle, and that, if the secondary stipula-
tions of that act do not fully satisfy the wishes of
the Diet upon the subject, we are disposed to modify
them in agreement with the Diet, and in conse-
quence of this disposition of the Danish Govern..
ment we have used the expression • provisional,' of
which so much has been made.

"As regards the demands of the Diet coming
under the second abovementioned category, media.
tion alone would avert the danger of war if the Diet
does not think it can lend itself to a direct agree-
ment with us. You will remark that I have avoided
using the word ' war' in the declaration, although
it must be evident that such an eventuality is in my
mind.
" I send you at the same time an extract of a de-
spatch from the Charge d'Affaires of the King at
Frankfort, containing the opinion of M. Scherff—
who certainly cannot be denied the quality of an
impartial judge in the matter—upon the exaspera-
tion which appears to prevail in the committee,
and by which unfortunately the reporter appears
to be especially carried away. I believe that these
enclosures will not be without interest for you in
your conversations with Sir Andrew Buchanan. It
seems that Earl Russell had addressed a third
despatch to Sir Alexander Malet, and, according to
information I have received, it appears that Earl
Russell has exactly laid down himself the distinc-
tion I have drawn in our declaration. He recog-
nises exclusive Federal competence in . things
which concern the autonomy of Holstein, but he
claims an international character for the other parts
of the question.
" I have this moment received your despatch No.
20, explaining your telegram of the day before yes-
terday. I thank you for your readiness in sending
me information of this fresh demand, but I do not
perceive to what disposition prior to the patent of
the 30th March allusion is made. Is the reference
perhaps to the normal budget of the 28th February,
1856? In any case, however, we must now await
I
the effect our declaration will produce.
(Signed) " C. HALL."
