GERMANY AND DENMARK.

A letter from Frankfort, in the Botschafter, dated
the 9th inst., says :—" I am enabled to give you the
information that Austria has made a positive decla-
ration, es regards Federal execution in Holstein, to
all the Great Powers—to France, Russia, and Eng-
land, especially to the latter, that the Dano-German
question must be settled, and that Federal execu-
tion has become indispensable if Denmark should
persist in her resistance, no matter what the con-
sequences may be. The language of Austria is
very decided, and has not been modified by the
objections which the Great Powers—especially
England, have made, Austria has declared, in a
straightforward manner, that it rests with the
Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent armed intervention,
that Denmark, not Germany, must give in."
A letter from Hanover, dated 9th September,
says :—"I am able to inform you, from an au-
thentic source, that preparations are being made
in our military circles for carrying out Federal
execution in Schleswig and Holstein, and it will
very shortly take place, despite the attempts of
mediation which have been made since the recap-
tion of the last Danish note."

A letter from Copenhagen, dated 7th September,
says :—" The Swedish Minister M. de .Mander-
stroem, has left our city. after having held long
conferences both here and at Malmoe, with H.
Hall, at which the English Ambassador was pre-
sent. In these conferences the details of an offen-
sive and defensive alliance between Sweden and
Denmark were settled. Although this alliance is
an accomplished fact, it is still wanting in one point.
The reciprocal signatures have not yet been put to
it. is not without importance. I can tell you
from a reliable source that they will not be put until
Federal execution shall have actually commenced.
Military preparations are going on actively. Two
more ships of war have left for Flensburg."
The Constitutionnel has the following :—" IV ill
the Federal Diet have recourse to arms ? This is
the question which is now under discussion at
Frankfort, at Berlin, and at Vienna. In a few
days the political and military reports will be
ready -which have been ordered by the Diet. We
doubt, however; whether, any active measures will
be taken at once.

Caution to the Public against "Advertising
Tipsters,"

As horse-racing has long been the national sport of
land, and patronised and encouraged by the highest in the
land, we think it right to warn our readers and the public
against those professional " Advertising Tipsters" who live
upon the credulity of those who unthinkingly place confi-
dence in them. The following are a few examples, copied
from the columns of the Illanchester Guardian, of their
pretended foreknowledge of the ultimate results in a greet
race:--

THE ST. LEGER STARES.
Sefton's Selection :—St. Leger winner at 40 to 1. Lord
Clifden, Ranger, and Queen Bertha have no chance.
henry Hotspur, the great turf adviser (not the talented
writer for the Daily Telegraph), says—" «ells will win the
St. Leger on the flyer I will send you, now at 30 to 1; Lord
Clifden has no chance." Again, the same worthy says : •
"Lay against Lord Clifden, Ranger, Golden Pledge, and
Avenger for the St. Leger, for these are the horses book-
makers get their farms and mansions out of, as they are not
in the bunt, and the winner is still at good odds.
.As a climax to the above, we will give one more front a
DS acclesfield " Bull," and leave our sporting readers to judge
for themselves :—" £5OO —A Challenge to the World.—
St. Leger, a certainty; could carry 10 stone and beat Lord
Cliiden ; pepper that gentleman and back my flyer. I
have the best things ever sent out for Cesarewitch and
Cambridgeshire, now at 100 to 1 ; will see 5 to 1, and win.
