PRUSSIA.

On the afternoon of the 25th another conference
took place at the hotel of the English Ambassador at
Berlin, between M. DE REEDTZ and M. DE SCALE-
MITE, relative to a personal union and to the inde-
pendence of Schleswig. The result of the conference
is not known.

AUSTRIA, HUN GARY, and POLAND.
The Emperor of RUSSIA arrived at Warsaw on the
27th, and, at his instigation, the Austrians at Cracow,
seized the son of DEMBINSKI, and have detained him
as a hostage for his father. We take note of this fact,
because, in the event of the Hungarians making re-
prisals, it is as well to have an accurate record
of the first aggressive act of the first ag-
gressor. If what has hitherto been a sys-
tem of comparatively speaking honourable war-
fare should henceforth degenerate into a system
of murder and assassination, the responsibility will
rest with the Emperor of RUSSIA, and should any of
his sons be on any occasion seized by Poles, Hun-
garians, or Republicans, and kept as a hostage for
his conduct, he will only have himself to thank for
it. Warned by the experience of last year, the
people should henceforth mete to the absolutist So-
vereigns with their own measure.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

The Danish Minister of War has officially an-
nounced the occupation of Aarhuus by the German
troops on the 21st, and their advance northwards
towards Spoerring.
The steamer Hertha and some gun-boats fired at
the German troops on their advance to the north of
Aarhuus, on which the Germans sent a flag of truce
to declare that if the firing from the vessels did not
cease, they would destroy the town. The gun-boats
then abstained from further cannonading, and, the ac-
count adds, so long as the Germans do not advance
further northwards in that part, the vessels will not
molest the troops. _ .

From Aalborg, of the 231, they state that in the
direction of Randers, which lies more to the west-
ward, the German forces had advanced as far north
as Oersum and Hadberg.
General PUITTWITTZS head-quarters were advanced
to Skanderborg.

In the duchies and at Schleswig there is much dis-
satisfaction expressed by the leader of the anti-
Danish party, because the stadtholders have not been
consulted or informed about the negotiations which
it is allowed by all are still being carried on in Ber-
lin ; and M. HARBOU declared, in answer to inter-
pellations in the Assembly of the Schleswig States,
on Saturday last, that the Government had not been
able to obtain any participation in the negotiations in
Berlin, or any official communication respecting their
purport or nature.

- At the encampment before Fredirica a truce of
arms has been commanded, and, indeed, came into
force de facto. The firing has now ceased on both
sides, and in all probability will not be recommenced
by the German troops, who have received orders not
to act on the oft'ensive, but merely to return the
Danish fire. The latter show no intention to begin
fire, but appear to be extremely active in repairing
their fortifications and trenches. Many are of
opinion that the present cessation of arms will ter-
minate in a protracted armistice.
It was stated at Copenhagen on the 22d, that
Russia has proposed the partition of Schleswig into
two portions ; the whole duchy to the north of thq
Schlic to be incorporated into Denmark, while th
smaller southern division shall be combined wit
Holstein.

Denmark, it is said, refuses to accept this conditio
The Danes have taken possession of the city
Varde.
