PRUSSIA.

The Cologne Gazette gives the following as the
conditions of the armistice between Prussia and Den-
mark. The armistice is to continue to the Ist of
January, 1850, but even then it can be renewed for
separate terms of six weeks. The Prussian troops are
to withdraw behind a line of demarcation to be drawn
from Flendsburg to Tondern • the blockade is to cease,
and Denmark is to restore the captured German ves-
sels. A Regency is to be appointed for the Duchy
of Schleswig. The present Regency of the two
Duchies will continue its functions for Holstein.
The Schleswig Regency is to consist of three mem-
bers, to be appointed by England, Prussia, and Den-
mark. Alsen and 2Eroe are to remain in the hands
of the Danes.
It is stated that the following points are contained
in the preliminaries for the peace :-
1. Holstein and Lauenburg are to continue in their
present relations, and to receive a constitution.
2. Schleswig is to have legislative and administra-
tive independence, and a constitution. The political
union between Schleswig and Denmark is to con-
tinue, but it shall be limited to the identity of the
sovereign. The special regulation of the succession
is to be left to future negotiations, but in such a
manner that,
3. Denmark endeavours before the definitive con-
clusion of a peace, to regulate the succession.

BADEN.
•
Letters from Freiburg, Stokacb, and Constanz, of
the 11th inst., in the South German papers, announce
the evacuation by the insurgents of the Badish Lake
districts. Their last forces evacuated Constanz
on the 11th, and crossed the Swiss frontier under
the leadership of Mr. Stepbani, who implored
the protection of the Swiss soldiers that were
drawn up along the frontier. Protection being'
gratited, the insurgents to the number of 1,000 men,
with ten pieces of artillery and an equal number of
ammunition waggons, proceeded to the Convent of
Kreuzlingew, in the Swiss canton of Thurgau, where
they deposited their arms. Previous to their leaving
Constanz, the leaders had distributed among them
part of the contributions which they had wrung from
the iehabitants. Each of the private insurgents was
presented with five fi'rins (93.), and each of the
corporals had six. No mention is made of the share
of the officers and leaders.

ITALY.
The private correspondent of the Opinione of Turin
writes on the sth from Rome as follows
" Yesterday the state of siege was proclaimed, and
the •Triumvirate and Assembly were dissolved. A
strong French force occupies the Capitol. Every night
the inhabitants must retire to their homes at nine
o'clock. Hostile demonstrations continue. When aFrench-
man enters a coffee-room, all the Italians withdraw.
Several innkeepers, being afraid to lose their native
customers, have refused to lodge the invaders. If
in the street, a Frenchman applies for information, no
reply is returned to him. Saco is the situation of Rome.
The English and American Consuls are our sole pro-
tectors. They deliver passports to those who demand
them, and are always ready to txtvnd their proactiun
to the patriots who claim it. General Oudiant endea-
voured by fine promises to prevail on Garibaldi to give
up the French who fought under his orders, but the
brave Italian left the French Cossack all the shame
attending his proposition, and replied, that in order
to arrive at his soldiers he should pass over his body.
Thus, as you may perceive, from beginning to earl, dig-
nity and honour were certainly nut on the side of the
French. At Civita Vecchia, where the flag of the
Roman Republic lately floated, the French flag is alone
to be seen. A vessel, coming from Ancona, was obliged
to strike the papal colours which she had hoisted.
" Alezzlni quietly remains at Rome, protected by two
passports."
The Risorginzento of the 11th inst., contains the
following decree
" Victor Emmanuel 11., King of Sardinia, &c., on the
proposition of our Minister Secretary of State of In-
ternal Affairs, decrees the following:—
" Art. 1. The state of siege proclaimed in the city of
Genoa shall cease after the 11th inst.
"Art. 2. The powers given to our Extraordinary
Commissioners, M. Alfonso della Marmcra, by a decree
of the Ist of April last, are confirmed to him, as also the
power of re-establishing the state of siege, should im-
perious circumstances render that melsure necessary."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Fredericia is surrounded to within a league and a
half. The left wing is formed by the Saxon and
Bavarian ; the centre by the Schleswig-Holsteiners ;
the right by Wyneckne s Hanoverian Brigade. The
general advance on that fortress will take place on
the 11th.
HADERSLEBEN, JULY 11.—The Danes have
stationed their outposts partly on the main road
to Vicle, and partly towards Gudsoe. The avant
guard of the combined troops of Schleswig-Holstein
and the Empire, have already advanced to meet them,
and it was expected that the attack upon Fredericia
would be made yesterday. We may, therefore,
look daily for a decided result. The loss
of the Germans at the recent engagement
at Fredericia, which was at first estimated at 2,800
men, is now proved to be 1,794 soldiers, 103 subal-
terns, and 7 surgeons, of whom, perhaps, a third part
may have fallen ; the rest are wounded and taken pri-
soners. About 1,000 who had been scattered have
returned.
It is asserted that among the Danes there were
several thousand Norwegian and Swedish.
FRIESCHARLEB.—Letters from the Danes to their
friends in Jutland give the loss sustained by the
Danish army at above 3,000 men, among whom 800
were killed. About 100 of their officers are said to
have been made unfit for service.—Extraordinary
Supplement to Hamburgh Borsenhalle, July 11.
EIADERSLEBEN, JULY 12.—General Prittwitz has
now the command in chief of the whole army opera-
ting against Fredericia, and which is composed of
the Schleswig-Holstein and Imperial troops. General
Bonin commands the left wing, the first and several
brigades of which are standing in and near Bol-
ding, and the avant guard of which has ad-
vanced their outposts to Gudsoe and Erritsoe.
The left wing is under the command of that valiant
leaaer Staff-General Von Tarm. The aim and object
of the:Danes remains to be proved; so much is certain
that yesterday fourteen or fifteen ships of the line,
and several steamers, were seen in the direction of
Alma.

FLENSBURG, JULY 11.—We have just received the
following intelligence from the cantonments behind
Aarhuus

" Skeibyr, naer Aarhuus, July 7.
" Yesterday there was a grand reconnoitre of the
troops at Kalo Vis; to• day the different bodies bad
returned. The Bavarians have already begun to fall
back, and to- timrow the Prussians will also commence
a retrogade movement.
The Danes are said to have landed in the south,
and to hive concentrated their entire force between
Veile and Bolding, in order to cut off the Imperial
troops from the duchies.
The Weser Zeitung asserts that the armistice be-
tween Denmark and Germany is concluded for the
term of six months. It does not appear that a treaty
of peace, but merely an armistice, with preliminaries
of peace, is under negociation. An unfavourable
armistice would, at the worst, be better than an
unfavourable peace.—Hamburgh Papers.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

• • HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
The Pupils Protection (Scotland) Bill passed through
Committee.
The Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill was read a second
time.
Lord STANLEY presented a petition from some place
in Lincolnshire against any additional endowment to
Boman Catholics.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
landowners in Somersetshire complaining of distress.
THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN.
The NOBLE DUKE also gave notice that he should on
Monday pet a question to the Government with respect
to"the distribution of medals to those who bad served
under Sir R3lph Abercromby, in Egypt. He also pre-
sented a petition, from an old soldier m the 11th Foot,
praying that medals might be awarded to those who had
ene d in the Egyptian campaign.
Earl GREY tuought there must be some mistake in
the petition.

CORN RETURNS.
The Duke of RICHMOND complained of the inac-
cury of the returns of the corn inspectors, as
to the price at which corn was sold. Many farmers
did not make returns of the corn which they sold
to their labourers and others; and if they made these
returns the average price of corn would not appenr so
high as it appeared at present.

The Earnif GRANVILLE thought the attention of
the Board of Trade had been directed to the subject.
TYNE RIVER CONSERVANCY BILL.

Lord BEAUMONT. moved the second reading of this
Bill, in order that it might be referred to a Select Com-
mittee.
Lord BROUGHAM denied that it was usual to give
a second reading to a Bill of this sort, which transferred
the duties of one trust to another trust. It was nut
usual to transfer the duties of one trust to another
trust. The proper remedy for a breach of trust
was not a Bill, but a suit. Non-performance
of duty on the part of a trustee was a good ground for
compelling him to perform bit duty, but not for trans-
ferring the trust and depriving the trustee of the revenue
of .the trust. But then it was said that the trust was in
debt, and the new commissioners would take upon them-
selves the debts if they were permitted to receive the
revenues. W hy, he himself would do the same by his
Noble Friend the Marquis of Westmiuster, and be
three or four hundred th:-.usand a Scar the better
for it.—(Renewed laughter.) He bad never heard any
connexion with the Corporation of Newcastle, except

having been once counsel against them, haknew none of
them but denied that it was a matter of course that
every private Bill should be read a second time,
and this was a question of the rights of property, and
he was opposed to every measure which could be consi-
dered an outrage on the rights of property, whether those
rights.were the rights of a private individual or of a corpo-
ration.
Lord CAMPBELL said that this was not a party
measure. The Committee of the House of Commons,
consisting of five Liberals and five Conservatives had
reported unanimously in its favour; and, therefore, he
thought their Lordships should read it a second
time in order to refer it to a select committee. He
considered that a legislative remedy ought to be applied
to the abuse complained of, and that those who com-
plained of it ought not to be left to the dilatory remedy
of a chancery snit.
Lord W HARNCLIFFE said that the corporation of
Newcastle had exercised these rights for 500 years, and
he thought a Canmiree of either House of Parliament
was a most improper tribunal to decide how they had
performed their duties. He considered that it would
be the lesser evil of the two to reject the Bill.
The Earl of St. GERMAINS objected to discussing
private Bills in the House. He thought this Bid would
ba much better considered before a Select Committee.
This could scarcely be considered as inter-
fzring with the rights of private property, inasmuch
as the funds administered by the Corporation
consisted of tolls to the amount of 26.0001. a year, levied
for the improvement of the River Tyne, of which not
more than 6,0001. a year was expended in improving the
navigation of the river. He supported the second read-
ing of the Bill.
Lord REDESDALE opposed the second reading of
the Bill.

Earl GREY had been strongly urged to oppose this
Bill, but he could not consistently with his sense of jus-
tic, corarnt Co do so. It was clehr ss the statement
of the oppon( nts of this 131.1 was a measure thaii
on!d only be propirly cot si2e: el in st Selo et Committee,
and therefore be should support the motion for the
Lecond res,diec.
The Earl of HARROWBY opposed the motion. The
first thine, the Committee would have to do would be to
try a legal issue.
