HAMBURGH MAIL.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 5, EVENING.--The SOH
of Prince en.4rles of Russia hastened through this city
to day trom Ku'ding to 13etlin. He is reported to have
said that Denmark had mate propositions which would
in all probability lead to peace. General Halkett is in
possession of Alsen, and some persons imagine that by
means of a telescopy they can see the German flag
hoisted there. The Danes are carrying their wounded
and prisoners to Fuhnen; the Schleswig-Holstein troops
are marched to Konigsan.

Chevalier Bunsen vas elected this day representative
of our city by 473 votes, being a majority of 425 against
Dr. Steindorf, who had only 47 votes. Count Von
Moltke voted for Professor Gervinas. The Chevalier
has also been returned by the rural elective circle, and
the town of Eckerforde intends also to declare itself in
his favour.

wounded volunteers arrived here from the seat of war.

from Newcastle, have also arrived here with coals. The
Reins Eugelkens, from Rossen to Dantzic, with wine,
unloaded part of her champagne yesterday, and, under
present circumstances, will probably unload the whole of
her cargo here.

MAY 6.—According to advises from Kansa of the Ist,
three Prussian ships bound for Prussian harbours have
been compelled to run in here. Capt. Meger, of' Hartle-
pool, reports having seen a Prussian vessel brought up a

JASSY, APIL 19.—The Emperor of Russia, in a com-
munication to the reigning Prince, through Count
Nesselrode, declares his irrevocable reto ration not to
buffer anarchy (?) to penetrate into those cow,-
tries which are under the Russian protection, (!)
and that attempts to weaken the bands which bind her
to the Ottoman (! ?) empire will be futile. The reign-
ing Prince has published the above notification with a
paternal admonition of the fatal results of any attempts
at resistance.—Hamburgh Correspondent, May 9.
STOCIIIIOLM.—The Swedish journals manifest great
asperity against the Germans in regard to the Schleswig-
Holstein war, and meetings and petitions express a
strong feeling in favour of the Dahes. The Govern-
ment, however, is resolved to maintain the strictest neu-
trality. A declaration to this effect to the Court of Berlin
was received by the Senate of Hamburghifrom the resident
Swedish Minister, adding that the Court of Stockholm,
without taking part in the Holstein question, felt itself
called upon to send a body of troops to Denmark to act
on the defensive in the event that the German troops
did not confine their aggressions to Schleswig-Holstein,
but should enter other provinces. The resident Minister
adds in his note, that the Swedish Government will not
take any adverse measures in regard to German com-
merce and navigation, and that merchantmen will be
permitted as heretofore to enter the Sweedish and Nor-
wegian waters without the:slightest impedimeat, so long
as they shall not adopt any hostile measures against
these countries.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, May 9.
