LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 16, 1863.

The sudden announcement of the death of his
Majesty FREDERICK VII., King of Defarnark, comes
quite as a surprise to Europe. And the intelligence
is all the more startling of its kind, SLeing that
it spreads over Christendom at the very moment
when the Congress proposed by the French EmPe•
ror is under the consideration of all the chief Euro-
pean Sovereigns. While it is so, one of the
number is abruptly snatched from life. The know-
ledge of even his Majesty's indisposition was scarcely
known beyond his own couutry, certainly was un-
known beyond the Scandinavian regions. His death
was consequently quite unlocked for. And, seeing
that it occurs in the fifty-fifth year of his
ago, it must be said to have happened prematurely.
Erysipelas, resulting in fever and delirium, appears
to have heen the cause of the monarch's rapid de-
mise. The span of the life thus completed dates from
the birth of his Majesty, FREDERICK CHARLES
CHRISTIAN, on the
6th of October, 1808, to his
very recent death, at about half-past two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the 15th November, 1863. The
late King of DENMARK, therefore, was about half a
NAPOLEON 111.
younger than the Emperor
year
They were both born in 1808, the Ring in October,
tie Emperor in April. In the full vigour
of his life, therefore,his Majesty, Ring
FREDERICK has closed his career after

a re ,gn of from fifteen to sixteen years. Born in
th a same year as NAPOLEON 111., as we have just
re tt larked, it should here be added that FREDE-
RIC K VII. assumed the reins of Government in Den-
t-1z in the very year in which the then Prince
CIS NAPOLEON was called to power in France.
ly that, whereas the Danish Monarch is younger

the ,n the ruler of France by half a year, the former
ha I been at the head of the Government of Den-
mf very nearly a whole year longer than
NJ k OLEON 111. has been at the head of the Govern-
mi -int of France, King FREDERICK VII. succeeded
13 a father, King CHRISTIAN VIII., on the 20th of
anuary, 1848. The Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON being
ected President of the French Republic in that same
r ear on the memorable 10th of December. With
these differences, merely, of FREDERICK VII. of
Ylenmark being younger by half a year as a man,
od older by almost a year as a ruler, than NAPO-
", EON career of the Danish King and the
o treer of the French EMPEROR have been running,
tr p to this time, nearly parallel, that is to say, at
least, nearly contemporaneously. Three times
within the last thirty-five years of his life, a life
numbering altogether, as we have seen, less than
five and fifty, three several times has the late King
of DENMARK married. The first of these marriages
took place on the Ist of November, 1828, when
he espoused the Princess WILUELMINA MARIA,
one of the daughters of King FREDERICK VI.
of Denmark, the immediate predecessor of the
father of the KING just now deceased. An
unhappy marriage it turned out to be, as the
world knew five years afterwards, when the royal
pair were divorced. A second marriage was con-
tracted by his late MAJESTY in 1841, upon the
10th of June, when he took to wife, " for better,
for worse," .the Princess CAROLINE CHARLOTTE
MARIANNE, the daughter of GEORGE, the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Again
the result showed that he had done so " for worse"
instead of " for better"—the royal couple being
divorced in a little more than five years later on,
namely, on the 30th of September, 1846. As if
tired then of the ill-luck twice brought to
him by means of a right-handed marriage,
the late KING on the 7th of August,
1850, essayed what is known as a left-
handed or morganatic marriage—his third wife,
(not, however, his Queen Consort), being LOUISA
CHRISTINA, Countess DE DANNER, Coming to the
throne at the beginning of the year of the last great
revolutionary outbreak, it is no marvel, to bear in
mind that FREDERICK VII. of Denmark had but
a troubled time with his subjects in the earlier part
of his reign. German Unity, a cause then agitat-
ing more or less the whole of the various States
of the Confederation, then pressing more than once
heavily, at moments all but overwhelmingly upon
Denmark. Germany claimed then as she has done
ever since, not merely the Duchy of Holstein : but
with it the contiguous Duchy of Schleswig, the
latter province nevertheless appertaining distinctly
to the Danish Crown, and having no sort or kind
of connection with the Geimanic Confederation.
Germany, in point of fact—that being the core of the
whole evil—having cast a covetous eye on the noble
sea port of Kiel upoa the Baltic. Inasmuch was
Germany resolved upon the acquisition of those
Siamese Duchies of Schleswig-and-Holstein, to-
gether with, of course, that eagerly wished-for port
of Kiel, that war was declared by Germany against
Denmark, the Danish soil was invaded by a German
army, and the Danes had to rise in arms, as they
did, for the vindication of their rights at the point
of the sword, led forward against the foe, with a
knightly as well as with a kingly chivalry, by their
newly-crowned sovereign, King FREDERICK VII,
The result, as one of the most notable episodes
of the great revolutionary outbreak, then extending
more or less over all Europe, is still borne, of course,
vividly in recollection. The German invaders were
defeated and were compelled to retire before the
patriotic determination of the Danish People and
the Danish SOVEREIGN. Warlike movements then
gave place to what has been winding on wearily
ever since—a succession of tedious and apparently
interminable diplomatic negotiations. A tempo-
rary estrangement between the KING and the
people arose out of the Court scandals connected with
the circumstances of FREDERICK Vll.'s last mar-
riage—his third marriage—one, as already remarked,
of a left-handed or morganatic character—when
the infatuated Monarch took to wife the public
dancer, there and then created by him Countess DE
DANNER, Happily, all things considered, no
issue resulted from any one of the mar-
riages of King FREDERICK VII. A col-
lateral branch of the Royal house was called to
the succession. The new Sovereign of DENMARK,
his present Majesty King CHRISTIAN IX.—yester-
day Prince of DENMARK, of the house of
Schleswig Holstein Sonderburgh Gluckebargh—is,
as we all know full well in this country, the father
of 11.R.H. ALEXANDRA, Princess of Wales, and
future Queen-Consort of England, and of hie
Majesty GEORGE 1., the youthful King of the
Hellenes.

It has been wisely and fittingly determined that
the good and great soldier whom England has
lately lost shall not be left without a worthy memo-
rial. The length and importance of the public ser-
vices rendered by Lord CLYDE, the remarkable cha-
racter of the campaigns in which he was engaged,
and the high cease of honour and daring ambition
which accompanied his straightforward simplicity
and unfeigned modesty, all entitle him to rank high
among the notabilities of an age by no means defi-
cient in its military talent. Not less meritorious as
an example, or rare as a qualification, was the un-
swerving fidelity with which Lord CLYDE devoted
himself to the duties of his profession through the
long years of inaction and obscurity. The reward
of his assiduous attention came at last, and, from
the high state of efficiency to which ho had brought
his regiment, it was always ready for any emer-
rn?, and the soldiers were no less ready for im-
mediate action than the general. By the exercise
of that
Peculiar gift by which a naturally qualified
commanderhis
men, Lord
lists the sympathy and confidence of
CLYDE had obtained such an ascen-
dancy over hi„ re
acting
up
t er. W o
hisgiment as to be able to ensure their
all expectations in the moment of

and ht

of the spirit Lord CLYDE y, infused into his men,
and of their devotion ,
m
to •
ole heroic and
unsiv2rving leader. The various
eminent quali-
ties of this distinguished man were severally
dwelt upon last week, at a meeting convened for
the purpose of taking measures to erect a testi-
monial to his memory. At this assembly many
men eminent in different walks of life came for-
ward to express their sense of the worth and ability
of the lamented soldier. Foremost amongst these
was the Commander-in-Chief, who, in remarking
upon the universality of the desire to pay respect
to Lord CLYDE, mentioned that her i N -AJESTY her-
self was the very first to express her wish that
honour should be done to the illustrious soldier who
had shown such devotion to her service. The noble
duke then entered upon a summary of COLIN
CAMPBELL'S career, tracing the fortunes of the
young recruit, "born a soldier," tom the time

when he entered the army, without any friends or
supporters save his own good right arm, his honest
heart, and his noble bearing, up to the day when
full of honours he was laid to rest-, in the great
Westminster Cathedral. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
as befitted his official position in this record, at-
tached as much importance to General CAMPBELL'S
care of his regiment as to his rieeds of chivalrous
courage. The young soldier who petitioned for
permission to lead the forlorn hope as a reward for
conduct which had attrac.,v d the notice of his su-
periors, was the same vvls,c, us general of a division
and commander-in chi...it of an army was careful of
the life of every so2ler, and never expended an
unnecessary force '6l-,en men might be saved by
careful strategy and planning. The Duke ot
CAME RIDGE re'marked that it was supposed by many
that an offic,er's only duties were in time of war,
and that other matters were of no considerable im-
portance. Such, however, was a great mistake, for
that it was the power of dealing efficiently with details
while mastering the great principles of the profeesion,
that constituted the good soldier. "It is well
known," said the noble duke, " that when a man
has got his regiment into such a state of efficiency
as that in which the 98th was under Lord CLYDE,
he will be sure to distinguish himself whenever an
opportunity may arise." This has been the case with
many eminent leaders, not the least of whom was
HAVELOCK, whose atedfast well-doing through so
many long years ot weary neglect and insignifi-
cance prepared him and his men so well for the
arduous duties they were afterwards so success-
fully to accomplish. Earl DE GREY, in addressing
the meeting, dwelt principally upon the services
rendered by Lord CLYDE in India, not only in
suppressing the mutiny, but in restoring order when
the insurrection was at an end. Earl DE GREY men-
tioned that when Sir W. MANSFIELD, Lord CLYDE'S
chief of the staff, was leaving Warsaw, where he
held a diplomatic appointment at the time of the
outbreak, Prince GORTSCHAKOFF said to him that
he had no doubt the revolt would be put down by
force, but that he thought the task of dealing with
the population of the conquered provinces would
be very difficult. It did not prove, however, too
difficult for Lord CLYDE, on whom devolved a great
part of the responsibility, and the honour and regard
in which his name is held in India, no less than in his
own country, is a sufficient proof that he knew how
to sheathe the iron hand in the velvet glove. The
Duke of ARGYLL, as chief of the CAMPBELL clan,
and Sir CHARLES WooD, as Indian Secretary,
were suitable speakers on this interesting
occasion, and the stirring eloquence of the Earl
of ELLENBOEOUGH reminded the meeting
that what Lord CLIVE was at Plassy,
Lord CLYDE was at Lucknow, and that
honours paid to the heroic dead serve to animate
the living. Military honours, said the noble earl,
unlik» the distinctions won in other professions, are
from the first undisputed realities. The great states-
man sees his claim to public gratitude fiercely con-
tested by opposing politicians, slid Lord ELL EN-
BoRouGH might have carried the comparison a
little further, to the philosophers, the authors, the
artists, the discoverers, whose works enrich their
age, but bring them, during life, but chequered
reputation and limited reward. But with the
soldir all is changed. " There can be no doubt
as to the merit of the man who defended Bala-
klava during the winter of 1854, and protected
the communications of the British army. There
can be no doubt as to the services of the man
who, in the face of such difficulties and dangers
as those with which he had to contend, rescued
the captives in the residency of Lucknow. Still
less can there be any doubt as to the military
combinations of the man who took possession of
Lucknow." Death, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH ob-
served, has latterly been busy among our great
men, and their places are hard to supply, but it
will be especially difficult to replace the experi-
ence of the veteran soldier who, in the Peninsula,
in America, in India, and the Crimea had learned
the art of war. There are few left to bear him
company, and of those old companions in arms their
country may justly be proud. Lord STANLEY,
in passing his encomium on the merits of Lord
CLYDE, said he should wish the statue, which it was
proposed to raise to his memory, should be erected
beside those of NAPIER. and HAVELOCK—whose
names are both associated with his own, and that
the fourth place should be reserved for the honoured
effigy of LAWRENCE. Such a suggestion deserves
consideration, and the vacant posts of honour in our
great central square would thus be worthily filled.
Meantime we need not fear that the contributions
will pour in fast and freely, and the honour due to
the illustrious dead will be fully and promptly ren-
dered by his countrymen.

Those who have been trying to persuade them-
selves that the King of PRUSSIA. intended to modify
his arrangements, and to allow many deviations
from the strictness of his rules and the arbitrary
character of his propositions, will be grievously
disappointed when they see the new " Press Law."
It would seem as if the framers of it had gone out
of their way as much as possible to render the pro-
visions of it as harsh and obnoxious as they could.
In fact, its whole stye and tenour is such that its
introduction to the new Parliament is most
unsatisfactory and disheartening. It is throw-
ing down a defiance to those who are advo-
cates for freedom of discussion, while to those
more immediately concerned it is both unwise and
unjust. In the first place, a clause is introduced
which is equivalent to sealing the doom of any
paper. Any journal condemned twice in five year
will be considered non-existing. Of course, by
this simple process any paper which does not exactly
suit the notions of the Government may be speedily
sequestrated. It is all very fine to pat in fire
years to look as if a long period of probation was
permitted; but everyone knows that two days
would really suffice for the death-warrant to be
drawn up in. This alone stamps the whole affair
with insecurity, and prevents any intelligent ob-
server from concurring with it. After this pro-
posal, there comes another still more harsh
and equally significant. If a new journal is started
that is at all supposed to have any connection with,
or be a continuation of, the old one, it may be for-
bidden, without any law proceedings being taken.
This is extreme, and of course the prohibition is
ntroduced by those who do not want to give any
opportunity to the accused to vindicate themselves.
If the suspected ones were really in league or col-
litaion with the guilty party nothing could be
easier than to prove it in a court of equity. But the
present mods of working out the difficulty exhibits
the strength and the weakness of the cause entirely.
There is always danger of something wrong when
any mystery prevails, and this arrangement is very
()emit. Indeed, there can be no doubt that, with
the help of this provision, no new journals will be
allowed to be started—at all events, none that are
of a progressive tendency. One paragraph is so
o as liable
theseia ob fl thet
worded that it would seem that all who are in any
way connected with the carrying on of the paper
are to be included
fo
rl
e :sheet:: ff'riaung:r:
enactmentses .arel'rheealluy"lto-
be congratulated in one way for their success in
manufacturing such extreme regulations. It
would appear that every powbi

tlisteaptmetnalties inflicted

been considered in order that interruptions should
interpose at every turn, and annoyances be inflicted
on the unfortunate individuals who attempt to carry
on the process of journalism. Thus, the " editor"
is to be subjected to participation in every punish-
ment, whether he is taking an active part or not
in the proceedings at the time the offence is com-
mitted, " even if prevented by absence or by other
reasons from exercising his functions." This is a
new reading of justice, and allowing, for the
sake of argument, that there devices are
put into practice, King WILLTAu and his
Ministers will certainly have made Prussia
famous by this striking and startling exposition
of legal invention and legislative enactments.
As if the previous regulations were nut strong enough
t here is another paragraph which provides that
journals are to be considered as offending if they
even give a truthful report of the proceedings of
the Chambers. Certainly there are not likely to be
many discussions which will redound to the credit
of the KING and his Cabinet. The new Chamber
must be a poltroon set if they endorse such propo-
sals, and totally unworthy of their country
and their position if they stultify them-
selves by agreeing to such proposals becoming the
law of the land. Taking into consideration the
various signs and tokens that have occurred, it
seems a mockery to have had another election at
all. Why insult the people by ignoring what their
representatives desire, and insisting on proposals
being carried out that are entirely opposite to the
views and wishes of the general community. If this
is part of a deep-laid scheme to appear as if all rea-
sonable attempts had been made to establish a con-
stitutional form of government, it will be a decided
failure and a complete defeat. The adverse Cham-
ber will be dissolved, the indignant population
silenced by the strong hand of the law against the
exponents of popular wrongs and the vindicators of
public rights, but even then there will arise obstacles
that will seem insurmountable. Deep in the heart
of the nation the feeling will be implanted, and woe
will betide those who wilfully ignore or wantonly
disregard the sentiment. It would be difficult to find
a more irritating subject for contemplation than
Prussia presents at this moment, for with a
good chance of success and a grand prospect
of improvement before them, her rulers
have cast prudence to the winds, and
entirely discarded patriotism in their suggestions
and regulations. In times of difficulty and danger
it is of no use to analyse events, or recapitulate
troubles; the only way is to take each thing as it
comes, and to meet every emergency with care,
courage, and constancy. The deputies have a solemn
task before them ; let them be true to their cause,
and the day must eventually be their own. The
new bill on the public press must be summarily re-
jected, or farewell to all integrity and independence
of thought and action. Likewise these representa-
tives have the responsibility of redeeming their
pledges to their constituents, and they must take a
bold step in the matter, and with united voice pro-
claim that such tyranny cannot be tolerated, and
that such innovations are not to be dreamt of.
Theirs is a trying position, but if they remain true
to their own earnest convictions they will be sure
to be right, and if principalities and powers are
arrayed against them, the might of justice and the
majesty of truth are stronger and greater than
even they. An anxious and expectant people will
wait on their efforts and watch their deliberations,
and the issues of this senatorial conflict are of un-
usual magnitude and import, for they are connected
with events that may be the herald of regeneration
or the forerunner of decadence to a kingdom that is
ranked among the foremost in Christendom, and the
question now in abeyance is whether the danger
may be averted that threatens to obliterate its
greatness, or if history must add another to the long
list of failures and disappointments that darken the
retrospect, and sully the brightness of her annals.
