THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 29.—Lastlevening the banquet to
the Jutland and other deputies eras given in the Casino,
which was crowded. About 1,000 persons were pre-
sent. There was a slight contretemps at the commence-
ment. The committee had very properly resolved that
the King's health should not be proposed ; but some
soft-hea,rted•man thought this a pity, and, as a half-
measure, proposed three (instead of nine) cheers for " the
head of the State. The consequence was that two-
thirds of the assembly were silent, and the few cheers
were mingled with powerful blues. The rest of the
proceedings were most harmonious. Of all the toasts, I
will only mention one, proposed by Ritnestad—" Success
to the Western Powers, the noble champions of freedom
and civilisation against the barbarous enemy of Europe !"
which was received with three times three rapturous
cheers. It was evident from the speeches of the West
Danes that the feelings there are as strong as in the
capital ; and it is most gratifying that in five short years
our Danish cousins have learned to appreciate so highly
the principles of selflovernment, and the immense be-
nefits conferred upon them by their noble Constitution.
Sept 30.—The text of the famous Jutland address
has now been made public. It is too long to trans-
late. The first paragraph declares that the feelings
aroused by the anniversary of the Constitution (the
sth of (Tune), are still in full force. The second
reminds the King that the Constitution was freely
agreed upon by Xing and people, at a moment
when% other Monarchies were tumbled in the dust ;
while the Danish people offered their money and their
blood to defend his Majesty s throne and threatened
Crown-land. The third section laments the ingra-
tude of the whole State intrigue ; shows how the Danish
nation, with its usual mildness, had consented even to
this humiliation, demanding only that it should take
place legally, and that the Constitution should be
respected ; and bitterly laments and denounces the il-
illegalities and oppressions of the present Cabinet. The
last paragraph is as follows :
" The undersigned, by the Constitution of the Danish
kingdom made freemen, which, by the help of God, we
intend always to remain, approach the throne, full of confi-
dence that your Majesty will preserve our libertiesin spite
of every danger, and, whatever the difficulty, will see that
the new State plan is effected legally in the way pointed out
by the Constitution. In troublous times onr country ha.
given the world the exalted spectacle of a King and people
showing joy and sorrow in truefast attachment, and to his
unity superior force was compelled to bow. At this mo-
ment the danger is as great. But we do not despair. Our
King is strong when he seeks his support in the love of his
people."
OCT. 3.—The speech from the throne has made an lin•
menso sensation. Its insolence is matchless. It lays
the Parliament and people of Denmark. tinder ban ;
or rathery it horses them, and administers due cor-
rection with the whole-state cat-o'nine-tails. Its lan-
guage is that of the feudal baron to his rebellious
vassals, and it has been resented accordingly. Every-
body is indignant. One
.effect has been td modify the
proceedings of tho Parliament. They will now begin
with impeachment, partly because the Cabinet would
still continue to sit, terrorise, and intrigue. The Par-
liament will therefore commence with a solemn and
motived address to the King. If that fails, they will
refuse further taxes. Should the Government attempt
to levy illegal taxes by military force, we shall then
come to a new argument—the barricades,

BERLIN, Oct. 6.—The Berlin Kreut2 gdittinz in its
agony at the defeat of the ittissiatis on the Alma, in
its vain efforts td tcSister up the military fame of the
routed rteral, and in the face of fact and over-
whelming evidence, insists upon the ridiculous pre-
sumption that this great stand-tip battle between nearly
100,000 combatants was but a mere affair of outposts,
in which only 8,000 Russians were opposed to the allies
—an affair of outposts skilfully devised by Prince Men-
schikoff to gain time for his taking up a flanking posi-
tion; and further, by tacking on a query, attempts to
throw doubts upon this "affair of 01,tpost, 'l_tvono7),!eri
