LONDON, MONDAY, FEB. 22, 1804

Austria and Prussia, after invading the purely
Danish province of Jutland, and there retaining
their troops during forty-eight hours, quite law-
lessly, upon the soil of Denmark Proper have—
upon reflection—evacuated it. They still overrun
Holstein. They still hold possession of Schleswig
as material guarantee." Those allied assailants of
the sovereign power of King CHRISTIAN IX , and
of the independence of the nationality to the vindi-
cation of which that monarch has hut so very recently
been summoned by the death of his predecessor—
Austria and Prussia, in the name of the Germanic
Diet, having occupied Holstein and seques-
strated Schleswig, have planted the feet of their
soldiery for a while upon the soil of Jutland,
only—upon second thoughts—to evacuate that in-
vaded peninsula. For the advance of the German
armies into Holstein, even for their advance into
Schleswig, some show of argument might be put
forth, in effect has all along been put forth in bold
words, by the diplomatists and the Governments
of the Confederation. But for the still further
advance of the Austro-Prussian troops into Jut-
land no vestige of a plea, even of the most elaado,"
kind, could by passibility be adduced. It was
simply lawless. It was simply a brutal violation of
all the most sacred rights of an independent
Sovereignty. It was an act admitting d
no emell,;6 whatever. It was an outrage
in no way to ba extenuated. The peninsula of
Jutlan4 is an integral portion of Denmark Proper.
Whatever may be argued about Schleswig or Ho'.
st6in, separately., or about, both of them together
nothing whatever can be said in regard to Jutland.
but that it is intensely and essentially Danish
throughout, that it is part and parcel of purely
Danish territory. If the crossing of the Eider, that
of the southern boundary-line of Schleswig, hi
the Austro-Prussian troops, was bad on the part of
Powers of Germany—far
the two leading
worse, far - more outrageous, was the' course
pursued by them last week when the German
soldiers advanced still farther in their la Vess inva
sion of the kingdom of Denmark : crossing not the
southern but the northern boundary of

not the Eider but tha Skadborg or Scholborg,

So monstrone, so wholly unjustifiable, indeed was
this proceeding on the part of the as6ailants and
inTaders of Denmark, that even in the Britigh
