The liatuover Gazette publishes the following order
of the day issued to the army
Soldiers,—I have to announce to you that his Im-
perial Highness the Archduke John of Austria bas been
elected Vicar-General of the Empire, and that I have
given my assent. The command of the German armies
belongs to the Vicar-General, as it formerly belonged to
the Germanic Diet. As soon as the defence of Ger-
many may require it, I shall order you to join the divi-
sions of the other states of Germany, under the com-
mand of the Vicar-General. The Hanoverians have
in all times fought with devoted valour and fidelity for
the country. They did so in the years of its danger-
-1793 and 1815. They have again done so this year. I
hope you will over call this to mind; and, full of con-
fidence in you, I am sure that under the command of
the Vicar-General, you will maintain intact the ancient
glory of the Hanoverians.

" ERNEST AUGUSTUS."

HUNGARY.

An important sitting of Second Chamber of the
Diet took place on the 3d instant. That Assembly
declared in favour of an intimate alliance with the
central power of Germany established at Frankfort.
At the same time it declared that should the Austrian
Government, forgetting its real interests, Oppose any
obstacles to the unity of Germany, it was not to
reckon on any support from Hungary. In the same
sitting the Diet indirectly rescinded the resolution it
had passed, to send troops to reinforce the Austrian
army in Italy. That resolution was based on the
Pragmatic Sanction, which obliged Hungary to
assist Austria in case of war ; but in this sitting the
Diet declared this obligation did not exit.

DENMARK AND TILE DUCHIES.
From the Assemblie Aratiqnal of Paris we extract
the following remarkable paragraph :

" We learn by a private letter, that the Archduke
John, acting as Vicar of the Empire and Genertalisimo •
of the Imperial Army, has issued orders to the general.
commanding the German troops on the frontier of
Schleswig, not to resume hostilities against Denmark.,
The Archduke, before recommencing hostilities, has do- •
termined to wait for the answer to the overtures he has
made to the Cabinet of Copenhagen. It remains to be,
known, and doubts on the subject are entertained at:
Frankfort, whether the Danish Government will ac-
knowledge the Executive power of the Archduke, and is
willing to enter into negotiations with his envoy."
The total number of troops who are to reinforce
the Schleswig Holstein army is stated to be 32,900.
men infantry, 220 pioneers, 3,900 horses, and 88
pieces of artillery. Austria, Bavaria,. and Wurtem
burg will each furnish a division general, and Nas-
sau and Saxony a brigade general.
HADRRSLERAN, AUG. B.—This afternoon our ger-
rison was called upon to act. About four o'clock the
intelligence arrived by express that the Danish volun-
teers had attacked the German cuirassieres, who had
been quartered in an isolated spot, almost entirely
surrounded by woods, near Stepping, in the neigh-
bourhood of Cliristiansfell About noon the enemy
surrounded the spot, and took 12 cuirasseers pri-
soners, and some were killed. An officer cut his
way through most gallantly. The surpri:e is, no
doubt, owing to treachery. According to a state-
ment of an eye-witness, the cuirassiers were made
prisoners by a strong revolutionary party. Yester-
day several persons arrived here from Nustrass, and
were transported to Rendsburg. Oli, Jacobson,
and Sjolland are also under arrest.
General Bowisr is gone to the north, and a division
of the Emperor FRANCIS'S regiment and artillery is
stationed at the south side of the city.
RENDSBURG, Ago. 10.—The Ist battalion of the
Schleswig-Holstein army arrived here to-day at noon.
They were met at the gates by a numerous deputa-
tion of burghers, and in several parts the houses were
crowned with wreaths of flowers.

ALTONA, AUG. 11.—A deputation of Rendsburg
burghers to the Provisional Government have been
informed that the Government does riot intend to

transfer its seat from Rendsburg to Kiel.
The arrival of troops from all quarters continues to
increase, and more are daily expected, and all the
various ports have been filled up by the troops as-
signed to them.—.llamburgh Borsenhalle.
