ZY URTEMBURG.
The Xing of WIIRTEMBIIIIG is dangerously ill.
The Fundamental Law was proclaimed on the 6th.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazette of the 9th, says, "Chevalier
litizisEN, in consequence of instructions received from
Frankfort and Berlin, has replied very concisely to the
official announcement of the King of DENMARK, de-
nouncing the armistice of Malmo. He declares that the
negotiations for peace are thereby broken off, and must
be broken off until that denunciation be withdrawn.
England and France have, it is said, likewise mani-
fested to Denmark their serious disapprobation of this
denunciation.
Denmark will thus be thrown back more completely
upon Ruisid; and will find Lt St. Petersburgh au ener-
: Retie supporter, the more so since the Russian note to
the Berlin Cabinet, which was at first doubted, is now
positively denied.
There is to be a meeting at Schleswig to- day (March
6), of the bureau of the National Assembly, for the pur-
pose of discussing the important question, whether it be
needful, under existing circumstances, immediately to
convoke the Assembly.
Great activity prevails in the war department at
Schleswig. General HoWIN clearly manifests great in-
terest in the Schleswig-Holstein cause.
It is reported that the results consequent upon the
treaty of peace are expected to have an unfavourable in-
tuence upon the inhabitants of Schleswig-Holstein, and
that for this reason all the Schleswig- llolstein truops are
to quit the country, and to be replaced by troops of the
empire. The new levy amounts to 3,500 men. The
burghers of Uendsburg have quarters for 3,000.
A gun-boat for the Schleswig-Holstein service has just
bees launched at Gluckstadt. The command of the
native troops will probably be confided to Colanel
ZATIRICUS.
The Cologne Gazette of the 10th contains the follow-
ing announcement :
" Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence that Den-
kark had notified its intention not to renew the armistice,
the Ministry of the Central Power met in council, and dis-
patched that same day a courier to Chevalier Bunsen, at
thatolldon instructing him to intimate to Lord Palmerston,
",' if his Lordship could not give guarantees for the con-
!Talon of peace on the conditions proposed, an army of
‘u,ooo men should immediately take military posession of the
duchies..
