" NOTIFICATION.

"According to a note dated the Bth of May, commu-
nicated by the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs to
the Ambassadors of Foreign Powers at Copenhagen, it
is resolved.
" I. That for the present neither the mouths of the
Elbe, those of the Weser, nor those of any other har-
bour on the North Sea, shall be blockaded by Danish
ships of war.
" 2. That the blockade of the following harbours—
viz., Pillau, Dantzic, Stralsund, Rostock, and Wismar,
shall be raised from and after the 16th of May; that
only Kiel, with the entrance of the Schleswig Canal at
Holtenau, and Sweinemunde, shall remain in a state of
blockade; but that on the above-named day the block-
ale shall be extended to the three mouths of the
Oder—i.e., to Wolgatt, Swinemunde, and Cammin.
" To prevent the misunderstandings which, to the re-
gret of the Danish Government, have occurred on the
part of some of the commanders of the ships of war,
who giving too great an extension to the blockade, have
sent back neutral vessels bound to ports to which the
state of blockade did not apply—a steamer will be dis-
patched this evening to convey to them the present
order.

- " Ilamburgb, May 12."
The official correspondence between General YON
WRANGIIL and Captain BILLE, the Danish naval
officer on the station of the Little Belt, relative to the
bombardment of Aliddlefarht, consists of a letter from
Captain Bssi,m, complaining of the act, and a long
taply from the General vindicating the conduct of
the Allied Powers, and recriminating on the Danish
authorities. General WRANGEL concludes his dis-
patch with the following significant menace:—

" I call the district which is now the seat of war, I
call the wounded and prisoners of the Danish army, to
bear witness that till now I have used every exertion
to sonduct the war in a manner becoming civilized
nations. If, however, the Danish fleet, by its
proceedings, compel me to resort to another
mode of hostilities, Germany and all Europe shall at
least know that it was not by me nor my brave troops
that this mode of carrying on hostilities (contrary to the
feelings of the age we live in). was commenced. This
letter. as well as the communication to which it is the
answer, I shall publish; and in the hope that the fleet of
Denmark will not render it necessary to carry my ex-
pressed determination mit) effect."
