The publishers of the six newspapers which pro-
tested yesterday against the recent press ordinance
havo received
statedto b
a first
e that
warning. The reasons for this
step are th e

SPEECH OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF
PRUSSIA.

DANTZIC, FRIDAY.
Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and
Crown Princess of Prussia have arrived here.
They paid a visit to the Rathhaus to-day, where
they were received by the municipal authorities.
The Chief Magistrate having expressed his sor-
row that circumstances would not permit the mani-
festations of public rejoicings at the visit of their
Royal Highnesses, the Crown Prince replied :
" I also regret that I have come here at a time
when disagreement has taken place between the
Government and the people, the news of which sur-
prised me greatly. Being
absent I was unaware
of the ordinances which have brought about this
position of affairs, and took no part in the delibe-
rations when they were resolved upon.
"But we are all convinced—and no one better
than I, who know the noble and patriotic senti-
ments of the King—that Prussia, under his Ma-
jesty's sceptre, is securely approaching the great-
ness which Providence has marked out for her."
The chief magistrate, Herr Winter, replied to the
speech of his Royal Highness by calling upon those
present to give three cheers for the Ring and the
Crown Prince.

ERLIN MUNICIPALITY
agree to the proposition Made yesterday by the Com-
ofßßerlin has resolved to-day to
Com-
mon Council, to send an address to the King, of
which the following is a summary :
The address calls the attention of his Majesty to
the prejudicial consequences of promulgating the
recent ordinance on the press, and of carrying on
the Government without a settled budget. It re-
presents the unfavourable influence of the long pro,
tracted constitutional conflict upon the relations of
property, trade, and the public credit, and concludes
by requesting the King to re-establish the constitu-
tional state of affairs by a speedy convocation of the
Diet.
The Kreuz Zeitung of to-day says :
" We hear that Herr Von Bismark-Schonhausen
will accompany the King during his journey to
Carlsbad,"

DEN K AND GERMANY.

the following despatch has been addressed by
the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Re-
presentatives of 7-Pen mark at the Courts of Vienna
and of Berlin, in reply to the communication of
those two German Courts on the 7th of April last :
Copenhagen, May 28.
" Sir,--It is with much sorrow
the ic that the Government of
With
learnt by the notes presented to it, on the 7th
of April last, by the Envoys of Prussia and of Austria at
Copenhagen, that those two Great Powers have felt them-
selves obliged, by the patentand rescripis of the King, under
date of 30th 3/larch, to claim in the name of the German
Confederation, as also on their olvn account, all rights and
the arrangements of 1852, or upon any other basis what-
privileges of a federal or international nature, founded upon
emanstin
ever. The two Powers, however, reserve the appreciation of
the measures Which have been taken by the said acts of the
and,
in
fact' it is a matter of course that rights and privi-
leges King for the consideration of the German Confederation,
and will]. the authority of the Confederation, can only be
claimed by the latter. Now, it is our firm conviction that
a fair consideration would only tend to show that the Royal
g from negotiations conducted in the name
patent of the 30th of March, if properly understood, would
prove that its real meaning gives no pretext to any claim
whatever. In fact, neither by that act nor by any other has
it been the intention of the Government to aisown obliga-
tions which may be incumbent upon the King, in virtue of
the federal laws accepted by his Majesty for his federal pos-
sessions, or in consequence of the negotiations of 18514852
with the German Confederation.
"The royal measures in
question refer exclusively to the
position of Holstein in the Monarchy, and by them a larger
competency has been granted to Holstein. It is unneces-
sary to add that this new arrangement cannot tend to pre-
vent the Royal Government fromconscientiously fulfilling
its federal obligations for Holstein. On the contrary, the
Government foresees that it will be better enabled to satisfy
the wishes and exactions of the Confederation, since the
position of Holstein in the monarchy has thus become more
independent; and, if it is truethat the Royal patent grants
to the Estates of Holstein that deliberative competency in
the legislation and in the voting of the estimates which,
following the principles of the negotiations of 1851, ought
to be exercised as regards Holstein also, by the common re-
presentation of the monarchy, the Royal Government could
not be made responsible for it.
" The two great German Powers era aware that federal
resolutions, repeated with threats of coercion, as also the
choice to the
ailure of all our attempts at conciliation, have left no
Royal Government in this respect. Any
eventual conflict between Estates of Holstein and the Rigs-
lead to
read which it may not be possible to settle must, it is true,
a partial dissolution of the existing arrangement
in common ; but this is only a necessary consequence
of that exaction of the Confederation, that the Holstein
Estates should be invested with a legislative competency in
the category of affairs, which,
according to the arrange-
ments of 1851, ought, nevertheless, to emanate exclusively
from the representation in common ; and this consequence
could not be avoided without consenting that the whole
existence of the monarchy should be paralyzed.

to leave him a copy you, Sir, to read this despatch to
