DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

A letter from Copenhagen of the 3d says—
" Yesterday morning the beating of drums and salvos
of artillery greeted the troops returning from the duchy
of Schleswig. At the Western Gate, which was orna-
mented with flags and trophies, they were met by the
Prince, who is heir presumptive to the throne, the mu-
nicipality, the staff of the national guard, &e., and a
great crowd of people shouting for the King and
the brave Danish army. The troops then proceeded to
the triumphal arch erected to -their honour in the old
market place. The King waited for them there and
addressed theta thus—' The whole nation unites with
me in praisino• your patriotism, fidelity, courage,
and indomitable perseverance.' These words called
forth shoats of Frederick VII. for ever! " Long
live the King!' The King then passed them in
review, and afterwards led them to a banquet prepared
for them in the riding-school of the palace of Chris-
tianoboig, the largest establishment of the kind in
Europe. After the banquet, three toasts were drunk—
one to the King, proposed by the president of the muni-
elpali'y; a second to the army, proposed by the King
himself ; and a third to the country, proposed
by the President of the Council of Ministers. Each of
these toasts was saluted by a flourish of trumpets and
a salvo of artillery. After this, the King walked round
to every table, and spoke to several of the private sol-
diers. He then saluted them all in an affectionate man-
ner, and withdrew amidst shouts of ' Long live. the
King !' from every part of the vast banqueting-room."
