DENMARK-SWEDEN-

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 11.—To-day the Parliamen-
tary campaign against the Ministry commenced.
Tutein, one of the wealthiest landowners in Den-
mark, moved the first reading of his proposition
for a Parliamentary commission to draw up ques-
tions of indictment against the Cabinet. His
speech was calm and comprehensive, and recapitu-
lated the various illegal acts of which the Ministry
had been guilty, not forgetting the flagrant finan-
cial delinquencies. The house followed him with
continuous applause.
The Home Minister (Tillisch) denied that the
Folkthing had any right to nominate a commis
sion for this purpose. A committee they might
appoint, but not a commission ; or they might at
once proceed to the impeachment of Ministers.
The Constitution of the Danish kingdom was
already, in his opinion and in that of his colleagues,
annihilated by the proclamation of January 28,
1852. He warned the house, therefore, to proceed
with this commission at their peril.
. .

Grundtvig protested against all illegal interpre-
tations as well as against all illegal acts, and im-
plored the Danish Commons to do its duty- without
fear. He proposed a direct indictment.
Tscherning seesawed as usual between the two,
his speech being sometimes Anti-Ministerial, and
sometimes Anti-Parliamentary.
Orsted, the Premier, supported his • colleague
Tillisch.

Bishop Monrad, in a long and eloquent harangue,
showed that the Ministry governed illegally; that
they were demoralising the public mind as well as
the officials beneath them; that their interpretation
of the introductory clause in the ground-law was a
falsehood, a contradiction, and a jesuitical subter-
fuge; and that the Parliament must do its duty to-
wards the country which they represented, and the
King, whose word the Ministry would falsify, and
whose rights they trampled upon. After the tumul-
tuous cheering which Wowed this speech had sub-
sided, and some further observations by Orsted,
Rotwitt, Tutein, and Tillisch, the proposition was
carried without one dissentient voice, and was read
a first time accordingly.
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 12. To-day the Lower
House was occupied with the sketch of the address
to the King, as proposed by Hall and the other
members of the committee appointed for that pur-
pose. It is very long. It expresses the wish of
the Parliament, shown by a long series of humilia-
tions and moderation, to assist in establishing a
whole-state Constitution, but only on condition
that it be a free Constitution, with full legis-
lative authority and full power over the taxes,
as was even promised by the illegal proclama-
tion of January 28, 1852. It declares that the
King cannot give his sympathy and assistance
to theories and sophisms in decided contradiction
to former public acts and Ministerial assurances,
and it hopes that his Majesty will listen to the re-
presentations of his Parliament, "proceeding as
they do from a lively and sincere attachment to the
necessities of the King and Crown, no less than to
the rights of that Danish people who, in years full
of danger to the royal house and the roal authority,
had to bear the brunt, undergo the sacrifices, and
act in the stead of the whole Danish kingdom."
This address is generally looked upon as far too
mild and negative ix its character. As the first
reading, however, merely pronounces in favour. of
the principle, opposition to its details was reserved
to a later stage, and it was read a first time by a
majority of 90 to 1, this one being Grundtvig, who
refused to vote in favour of so weak a declaration,
and demanded much more solemn demonstrations
against a Cabinet whose every step was an ille-
gality. The second and last reading will be pro-
ceeded with on Saturday. On that day also
Tutein's motion for impeachment comes to a second
reading. It is expected that, in order to expedite
the question, he will change his motion to a com-
mittee instead of a commission, the reality being
the same in either case, but the former being much
more rapid in its movements. Tutein's speech
was masterly and conclusive ; and Monrad's reply
to Tillisch entirely annihilated the Government
dialectics.
OCT. 13.—The total wreck of the Swedish Crown
steamer Gylfe is a serious misfortune to the Swedish
navy.
Several minor but not unimportant questions
have again been decided in the Swedish Parlia-
mentary Constitution-Committee, contrary to the
wishes of the Cabinet.
According to intelligence from Tromsey, the com-
munication between the Northern Norwegian and
Russian harbours, in vessels -of less than eighty
tons, is still kindly permitted by the allies, and
there is now no want of flour, arc.
Winter is setting in rather suddenly in Norway,
which is a great misfortune in the forest districts.
The Leopard, with Rear-Admiral Martin on
board, has sailed.
Bishop Monrad's great speech on the impeach-
ment question is now going the round of the papers,
and everywhere excites universal admiration.
We are hourly expecting news of the fall of
Sebastopol, an event at this moment looked for-
ward to as eagerly by Old Denmark as by Old Eng-
land.
