DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES,

ITAINIBURGIL MAY 16.—A communication received
this day from Cuxhaven, by the Commercial Depu-
tation, states that Captain MEYEa, stationed at Heli-
goland, in the Danish frigate Gefirn, has received
instructions to exempt Lubec vessels from the em-
bargo. This notification has been confirmed by a
letter from a Hamburgh ship captain, who had been
taken to Copenhagen.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 14.—The number of vessels
which have been seized amounts to about eighty,
several of which, especially those from Hamburgh,
have very valuable cargoes. The ships are now being
brought into the harbours. The preliminary con-
demnation has been established. The law of seques-
tration is not yet in active force, and, therefore, no ac-
tual condemnations have taken place. According to
the Royal ordonnance of the 29th April, the property
which belongs to those nations designated as at war
with Denmark will be treated on the same footing.
The captains are at liberty to choose their commis-
sioner here. Neither they nor their crew are subject
to any restraints. The captains daily receive four
marks, the steersmen three marks, and the sailors one-
and-a-half marks.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 16.—The semi-offical journal,
the Berlingsche Zeitung says, that it is untrue that
Sweden refuses to interfere in the affair of Schleswig,
as is declared by the German papers; on the contrary,
Sweden will act in this question in concert with the
other Powers, guaranteeing the possession of Schles-
wig to the Danish Crown ; further, it will immediately
come to the aid of the kingdom of Denmark, when-
ever it is attacked by Germany, without waiting for
the decision of the other Powers. The assistance of
Sweden gives fresh courage to the belligerent parties,
and they do not hesitate to speak of the speedy assist-
ance of Russia. Report says, that M. VON Lzw-
ETZOW, who was sent to St. Petersburgh, has re-
turned with favourable intelligence, and that the
Russian fleet, under the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE,
will arrive speedily.
SWEDEN, MAY 11.—The Gothenburg
,Handels
Zeitung, of Stockholm of the 11th, states that the
Grand Duke CONSTANTINE has arrived there, and
will immediately proceed to Copenhagen.
The ,iftenblud fur Carlskrone, of the 11th, states
that orders had been received there for the immediate
equipment of several vessels and steamers, which are
to be ready to start on the 20th with the frigate
Eugenie. The schooner Actio is also to be intim
diately fitted out.

CIIRISTIANIA, MONDAY, MAY 2.—The day before
yesterday commands were received here from the
KING, directing that the greatest number of troops
which the KING is permitted to sand over the fron-

tiers without the concurrence of the Sorthing,
3,000 Norwegian troops, are to join the corps of
observation assembled at Schoner ; at the same time
a request has been addressed to the Sorthing to make
a grant for the armament.
RENDSBURG, MAT I.s.—There is nothing new

1 from the scene of war. The ships on the Belt, after
the threat of WRANGEL, have been perfectly quiet.
The Danes were waiting for the arrival of the
Swedes, who, it is said, will come on the 20th. On
the 13th Major LASTZOW, who had gone out on a
predatory excursion to Aarhuus, with a detachment
of Schleswig-Holstein troops, returned with a fort-
night's provisions of all sorts for 7,000 men. lie
likewise brought the Vidame of Aarhuus as a '
hostage for further deliveries, and as a reprisal for
the capture of M. VON KROGH.
KIEL, MAY 16.—Private letters from Sundermit
state that at the dawn of day yesterday 200 more Danes
crossed from Alsen ; that the Hanoverian soldiers
wanted to make an immediate attack upon them, but
were deterred by General HALKETT till the Danes
klad kdvanei3a onnsidorai.ily, wm.renpon they were
attacked, and nearly all put to death; very few were
taken prisoners, and nut one escaped to tell the sad
event at Alsen. The immediate reinforcement of the
10th corps to 18,000 men is expected.
A letter from his Royal Highness the Prince of
Paussia to General WRANGEL) dated London, May 2,
1848, has been received :

" My dear General,—You can easily conceive the
,atisfaction and the deep interest with which I re-
ceived the intelligence respecting the encounter at
Schleswig and Flensburg on the 23d, and the follow-
ing days. The reports now lying before me bear
honourable witness of the valour and perseverance of
our troops, who then fought under your guidance for
the honour of Germany. The high expectations
which I have always cherished of the valorous spirit
of our Prussian army have been fully responded to
by the troops at Schleswig, and I am proud of hav-
ing been the commander of the greater part of them
in two different divisions of the army during a long
series of years.

" On this ground, also, I intreat you to assure the
officers and soldiers of the troops standing under my
command of my entire sympathy, my high esteem,
and my sincere congratulations for their gloriously
achieved conquest.

" To yourself; my dear General, I desire to offer
not merely congratulation on this victory, to which
our arms are indebted for your judicious arrange-
ment, but also that it was accorded to you to evidence
to the world that atter a period of 33 years of peace
the Prussian army is in the highest state of military
discipline ; it is the highest evidence of the perfec-
tion of our military system. Victories are not pur-
chased without sacrifices, and I look with pain upon
the victims. They fell and bled at the call of their
King, for the honour of Germany and the glory of
the Prussian arms.
" Be this their reward !
" Yours very faithfully,
" THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.

" London, May 2."
The reply of General VON WRANGEL to the Prince
of PRUSSIA is as follows :

" May it please your Royal Highness,—l have had
the honour to receive your Royal Highness's gracious
letter of the 2d of May. I have communicated its
contents to the troops under my command. Its
receipt filled me with joy and gratitude. The
hearty sympathy which you, my royal master,
have taken in our victory of the 23d of last month
has filled our troops with joy and animation, and I
am commissioned by them to express their most
respectful thanks. Your Royal Highness's testimony
is a fresh call to us to discharge our duties with every
devotion. The remembrance of your Royal Highness
is warmly and faithfully cherished by the Prussian
troops, and we all gratefully acknowledge that by
your energetic exertions the discipline of our army
was so effectively carried out; that your true martial
spirit animated them, a spirit which they displayed
so powerfully and so gloriously in the storming of
the Danewerke, in the encounter at Schleswig.
Your Royal Highness may, at the same time, be
graciously assured, that if ever, under the more im-
portant relations, we should be called upon to take up
arms for securing the independence of Germany, the
Prussian army would deem it the highest privilege
to place itself in full confidence and devotional
loyalty under your powerful guidance. And I may
be permitted to add, that the Prussians would show
themselves worthy of the name of their fathers.
" With renewed assurances of devotion, I remain,
your Royal Highness's obedient humble servant,
" VON WRANGEL,
" General of Cavalry.
" Head-quarters, Kolding, May 12, 1848."

The Honourable Francis Scott, M.P., Messrs.
J. W. Sutherland, Mark Boyd, and Browning trans-
