DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
We hare received Copenhagen papers of the 2Gth
ult., and they contain some interesting news. The
Berlin Go:ette says that his MAJESTY has sum-
moned Count CHARLES MOLTKE to his head-quar-
ters at Friedricia. Count MourKE, it will be re.
membered, was a member of the late Cabinet, and
resigned beeatp,e his colleagues accused him cf
being too much in favour of the Schleswig-Hol-
stein cans,- ; it is, therefore, to be surmised that
the KING is anxious once more to try negotia-
tions with his rebel subjects. The prohabil!ty of
tl.is surmise is still increased by another account,
namely, thlt M. D'OxuoLM, one of the King's Aides-
de-Camp, who had been entrusted with a confidential
mission to St. Petersburgh, had returned with a posi-
tive declaration front the EMPEROR, "that lie could
not in any way actively interfere in the conflict, so
long as the allied troops did not overstep the bk.unda-
ries of Denmark Proper; but that he would use
every endeavour to induce the Prussian Government
to withdraw its army across the Eider, and that,
provided the English Cabinet would do the same, he
would immediately dispatch a Commissioner to the
two opposing head-quarters for the purpose of making
proposals for an amicable settlement of the question."
This last account we extract from the well-informed
and semi-official journal Feedrelandet.
All the Copenhagen papers continue to speak in the
highest terms of the excellent spirit, amounting to a
perfect enthusiasm, which prevails over the whole
country.
There is no news from Schleswig. Holstein. A
dispatch from General HALKETT, the Commander of
the Hanoverian auxiliary army, only states some
trifling movements in advance, but nothing positive
was known of the precise position of the Danish
army.

The harbours of Kiel, and the Schleswig and Hol-
stein canal, are blockaded by Danish ships ; a frigate
and two gun-boats lie before the entrance.

Some Prussian ships lying at Stettin, reaiy to
sail for Copenhagen, with freights of timber for
the Danish Government, have received letters of
safety from the Danish authorities ; but the
captains still refuse to sail, it not being
distinctly specified that the safe conduct extends
to the return as well as to the outward voyage.
There is a large quantity of ship timber belong•
ing to the Danish Government stored at Stet-
tin, purchased on its account, and—which is
dwelt on by the Germans with some satisfaction—
paid for. The Prussian Government has consulted
with the heads of the shipping interest in Stettin on
the possibility of arming a number of vessels as
quickly as possible to protect the ports against the
Danes. A commission has been formed to consider
the matter ; it is understood that the arming of
merchant vessels cannot be carried into effect with
any success ; but the commission undertakes to pro-
vide some gun-boats.
Disturbances have broken out at Stralsund. The
Constitutional Club has appointed a committee for
the put pose of providing for the defence of the
coasts.

Extract from a letter dated Hamburgh, April 29,
received in London yesterday : " The Danish
schooner Geyser, Huhn, in proceeding down the Elbe
to-day, was twice fired at with blank cartridge from
the Slade battery, but returning no answer a ball
was fired at her, which compelled her to heave to,
when she was taken possession of by the Hanoveriana.
All Danish vessels, except those belonging to the
Dukedoms of Schleswig and Holstein, and to the
city of Altona, will be seized in the Elbe, Weser,
Eider, Hever, and on the Hanoverian coast ; and it is
expected that the Danish Consuls in England will
notify to such Danish vessels coming up the Channel
not to continue their voyage."
An Altona correspondent of the 29th in the
Cologne Gazette confirms the report of the German
troops having taken possession of Hadersleben. An-
other and more important report contained in the
same letter is the evacuation of the island of Alsen
by the Danes. There was also a rumour of a counter-
revolution at Copenhagen, but no particulars are
stated.
