The Cologne Gazette of the 10th of May has the
following :
BROMBERG, MAY 3, Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—We have
just received fearful intelligence from Wongrowiec.
All the Polish population are marching to Gnesen, to
aid the insurgents. Gnesen cannot possibly hold out
against such a force, and the worst is to be appre-
hended for the poor Germans and Jews.—Cologne
Gazette, May 10.
RENDSBURG, MAY B.—According to a private
letter from Gavenstein, of the 6th inst., the Danes
crossed the Straits of Alsen during the morning,
under the protection of a heavy fire from their ships.
They are now within a distance of two leagues of
our troops, which occupy the heights of Dubbel,
and amounting to between five and six thousand men,
and those of the enemy to about 10,000. An en-
gagement was expected. General VON WRANGEL
has withdrawn his head-quarters to Bolding. An
order of the day issued by the General declares that
after taking possession of Fredericia there should be
a cessation of hostilities.

A private letter from Copenhagen intimates the
expectation of a speedy settlement of affairs. It is
inferred that the blockade of the Elbe will not be
carried into effect, and that although Prussian ships
were condemned on the 6th at Copenhagen, both
ships and cargoes will remain untouched till the re-
establishment of peace. 'We must observe that none
of our other letters speak of the condemnation of the
Prussian ships.
According to advices from St. Petersburgh, of the
3d of May, the mail steamer Vladimir, shortly before
it was about to start from Cronstadt for Stettin, re-
ceived an order from the Russian Government not to
enter upon its voyage.
The Senate of Hamburgh has received, through
the Swedish Minister, a copy of the declaration
made to the Court of Berlin by the Government
of Sweden ; it is to this effect—that if the hos-
tilities are not confined to the Duchy of Schleswig,
and if the German troops enter any other of the pro-
vinces of the Danish monarchy, Sweden will feel
justified in sending a military force into Denmark
to co-operate with the troops of his Danish Majesty

in the defence of his territory against such invasion,
or the landing within it of a German army. They
will act, however, strictly on the defensive ; and, it is
added, the Swedish Government will resort to no
aggressive measures against German merchant ves-
sels; they can enter and depart unmolested from all
the Swedish and Norwegian ports as before, as long
as no act of hostility is committed against these
States. It is also announced this afternoon that
Russia is about to send a naval force into the Sound,
ostensibly for the protection of her shipping.
The statement of some Danish troops having re-
crossed the strait from Alsen to the mainland is in
part confirmed. It was to cover a party of labourers
engaged on some works. It led to no conflict, the
Germans, by order, not opposing the movement.
Three battalions was the utmost force exhibited by
the Danes on both sides the strait. It caused,
however, a report of the evacuation of the whole

island.
A suspension of the operations of the force under
General WRANGEL, at Kulding, is confidently ex-
pected.
