WARLIKE PREPARATIONS OF DENMARK.
ALTONA, JAN. 23.—The Danish Diet, in its sit-
ting of the 19th, resolved that all the men of the year
1826 who are amenable for service shall enter the
army, and that those who, on the 10th of September,
1848, purchased their dismissal shall have their money
returned to them, and re-enter the service. The
earnestness with which Denmark is pursuing the re-
inforcement of the army was proved also in a recent
sitting of the Diet, on occasion of the discussion of the
sth paragraph of the Wehr Law, when the Minister
of War declared that he could not possibly spare the
men who had been called in by virtue of the ordinance
of Sept. 23, 1848. The Minister of Finance declared
at the same time that until further notice no obstacle
would be opposed to the exportation of horses, either
to the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein or abroad.
Baron PECRLIN, the former Danish Ambassador to
the Confederation, is gone to 011mutz, for the pur-
pose of conveying the congratulations of the KING to
the young EMPEROR.
A small detachment of Holstein Jagers, who were
stationed at Fohrballum, on the boundary of the
Danish Enclave Ballum, was attacked on the evening
of the lath by a band of peasants, armed like the
Landsturm, consisting of several hundred men. The
Schleswig-Holsteiners were obliged to yield to
superior force, and quit the field. Several shots were
fired. Troops were immediately sent to their assist-
ance from Flensburg. The Jager corps were the
executive body charged with superintending the col-
lecting of the taxes.—Cologne Gazette, Jan. 27.

ber this day, with the following speech- from the
throne :

" Councillors of the State, and Deputies of the King-
dom,—This is the second Diet I have opened since my
accession to the throne. The first has scarcely termi-
nated its important work. The country may, lam per-
suaded, look back with satisfaction upon these months,
for much has been affected in this short period. Nearly
all the fundamental laws have come into operation, or
are on the point of doing so. It will be the duty of the
present Diet to continue the work which has been com-
menced in the fullest comprehension of the interest of
the people, and a due appreciation of the requirements
of the times.

" The following:projects of law will be submitted to

you: --

" The prescribed report respecting the expenditure of
the public Exchequer, and the state of the liquidation
framed for 1845.46 and 1846.47; the survey ot the re
quirements ot the State, and its total income; a project
of law relative to a general system of exchange for Ger-
many; projects of law relative to the administration of
justice, penal laws, and adjudication of transgressions of
the press in the Palatinate; project of law on the order
of business in the two Chambers of the Diet; a police
penal law; the revision of the commercial edicts; revision
of the district laws; revision of the provincial laws; a
law relative to the formation of the Chamber ot the
Councillors of State, a law on associations and meetings,
a law on the armament of the country, a law on the
position of the Jews (relative to their emancipation), a
law against tumults and the obligation of making com-
pensation for damages caused thereby, a law on the
changing of religion of minors, and several other pro-
jects of law of less importance.
" I have faithfully and conscientiously kept the pro-
mises made on my accession to the throne, and I will
maintain them. Governing as a constitutional King, in
the sense and spirit of the administrations, this is the
groundwork, the foundation, on which we stand, and
which we may not quit. Truth was and ever shall be
the basis of my government. Equality and legitimate
liberty reign in the government of the State and in the
Church. Anarchy shall be subdued with all my power,
and I reckon upon your co-operation. All the nations
of Germany are convinced of the necessity of a vigo-
rous and comprehensive unity, embracing the whole of
Germany. I also am animated with the desire, and
trust, with your assistance, to reach this goal.
" The requisite new laws and alteration in the Con-
stitution shall be submitted to you. Bavaria could not
remain unscathed amid the storms of the times; but
even in the midst of these she gave an honourable tes-
