PRUSSIA.

Vox ScuLBNITz has refused the portfolio of Foreign
Affairs, and it is not probable that MILDE will accept
the portfolio of the Interior, which has been offered
to him. It is said that a revision of the constitution
is under consideration.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A division of the Norwegian forces, amounting to
3,000 men, had passed Elsinore, on their way to
Malmo, and 2,000 were to follow them from Chris-
tiania. On the other side, the Prussian and Hano-
verian troops were likewise receiving reinforcements.
A Swedish squadron of nine vessels-of-war was
cruising in the Baltic.
Orders have been sent from Berlin to put Pilau
and Dantzic in a state of defence.
FLENSBURG, JUNE 18.—A decisive engagement,
according to all appearances, is close at hand. The
general staff, the Oldenburgh regiments, the Hano-
verian Hussars—in short, all set out this morning
northward. Even the Brunswickers (two battalions),
which had encamped about a league from here, broke
up this morning for the Danish territory. All the
large waggons, also, for transporting the sick have
followed the train, and an immense quantity of
powder and shot has been sent off. The 3d and
20th Prussian regiments will enter our city this
evening. These two regiments have, as is well
known, suffered the most severely during the
late engagements, and consequently must have need of
reit. The superintendent of police exercises great
vigilance over all persons suspected of favouring the
Danish cause. Some of them are obliged to appear
before him every day; nay, sometimes, more than
once in a day.
The Danish ships of the line have lately ceased
firing their bombs, as they saw the utter uselessness
of this measure.

RENDSBURG, JUNE 17.—Two companies of sharp-
shooters and three Prussian battallions marched in
here to-day, and will be immediately followed by the
two others. The North Schleswig deputation has
returned from Berlin, but as might easily be supposed,
in consequence of the distracted state of that capital
during the last few days, they have been able to do
do little or nothing towards the accomplishment of
their object.
ALTONA, JUNE 15.—We have continued arrivals
here of the sick, and slightly wounded officers and
soldiers. We have been obliged to clear the new
Orphan House for their reception, so that, besides the
whola wing of the workhouse, which is full, the bar-
racks of the Infantry and the Orphan House are
now used as hospitals. Several of the wounded
officers have been received into private houses.
The arrival of bodies of troops continues without
interruption. Latterly a number of Prussians have
again come. Last Friday two companies of the
Prussian sharpshooters arrived, and yesterday the
cannoneers with a heavy battery of artillery, six 25-
pounders
and two hovvitzers.—Haniburgh Cor-
re. pondeni, June 20th.
COPENHAGEN, JUNE 17. The Avis of Elsinore
says that on the 16th.the first Norwegian troops were
seen there, three steamers, with 1,000 japers, having
passed by. As the officers in Elsinore had received
no orders about the landing of these troops, the
steamers went to Malmo. The same steamers are
also to transport 2,000 men from Christiania, as the
Norwegian contingent is to consist of 3,000 men.
The States of Jutland have determined to con-
sider the debate on the Address in Committee with
closed doors.
ARNEMUNDE, JUNE 18. A fleet of seven or
eight Swedish war-ships, coming from the east,
anchored last night, two-and-a-half miles to the
north of this harbour, and is this moment (six o'clock I
in the morning) getting under weigh.
