DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 9.—The intelligence that the
Frankfort Assembly had resolved, by a majority of
17 votes, not to let the German troops quit Schles-
wig-Holstein, has not excited any surprise here, nor
have any preventive measures been adopted in the
delivery of the German vessels, of which many
belonging to Rostock and Hanover have already left.
The army order of the 4th of September, ordering
the dislocation and permit of the German troops, has
been cent back ; but we do not entertain the slightest
doubt that Prussia will be able to maintain the can-
vention of the armistice.

According to the order of the 4th inst., Major-
General VON Kaoau undertakes the general com-
mand in North Jutland, the head quarters at Viborg.
The occupation of Alsen, during the period of the
armistice, will be under a distinct command. The
army corps in the field will be dissolved.
The KING has gone by a war steamer to Sonder
burg t.) inspect the troops stationed there.

The Russian fli.et still continues in the neighbour.
hood of Copenhagen, which, it is said, it intends to
make its winter quarters. It is now anchored at
Kloge ; this morning the Russian steamer Ottovesh-
nei arrived here from thence.

The war steamer Waldiner, which arrived from
Haaborg, announces that thiry-six of the liberated
Danish officers have landed there.

The Borsenhalle contains official notification of the
Danish Minister of Marine, JAHRTMANN, dated the
4th of September, 1848, stating that after the ex-
change of the ratification of the armistice on the '26th,
orders were issued for the speedy delivering up of the
enemy's ships, as well as the immediate cessation of
the blockade.

RENDSBUEG. SEPT. .—Yesterday evening Gen.
WRANGEL, on his way through this city, paid a visit
to the Provisional Government, and communicated
the welcome intelligence that he entertained the
certain hope that the Danish Government would
consent to the rejection of the stipulation that our
troops should quit Schleswig-Holstein during the
armistice ; and further, that article 7 of the armis-
tice would be so far altered as that the laws and re-
solutions passed by the Provisional Government
should remain in force, and that the new Provisional
Government would be at liberty to annul individual
acts of the said Government.

KIEL, SEPT. 11.—The following improbable com-
bination of the new Provisional Government is
spoken of:—General VON BoNIN, President; Count
REVENTLOW, PEERTZ, and BESELEE, members of
the former Provisional Government, and two mem-
bers to be proposed by the Duke of SCHLESWIG.
HOLSTEIN.

The Provincial Assembly commenced its sittings
to-day at twelve o'clock.

ALTONA, SEPT. U.—General HAMLETT arrived
here with his staff on Sunday evening, and crossed
the Elbe yesterday, with the Hanoverian troops,
which are evacuting the country, and departing home
from our harbour.

ITALY.

SICILY.

After five days' bombardment, Messina has fallen
into the hands of the Neapolitans. The English
Admiral and the French Minister interfered to pre-
vent the continuance of hostilities, and, for the pre-
sent the Neapolitan invaders have confined themselves
to the occupation of Messina.
