DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES,

Count REvENrLow—,- who has been appointed Com-
missioner for the Duchies on the part of Denmark,
has arrived at Liamburgh.

" On the Bth," says the Borsenhalle of Hamburgb,•
" the Lieutenancy-General of the Duchies communi-
cated to the Assembly the propositions made to it by
the Federal Commissioners ; they require the submis-
sion of the Duchies without any condition or guaran-
tee. This communication of the Lieutenancy is said
to have taken place after the refusal of the Left of
the Assembly to vote a new tax of one-half per
cent. on the revenue; after which the Left retired,
and thereby prevented the Assembly from delibe-
rating."
The Independance of Brussels says—" Our private
correspondence from Hamburgh, which bears the
date of the 10th, says nothing of the above ; but it
assures us that, up to the afternoon of the 9th, no-
thing was terminated, and that the Lieutenancy-
General, warirly supported by the Assembly, per-
sisted in its refusal to obey the summons of the
Commissioners. Nevertheless on that day the Lieu-
tenancy-General went to Itendsburg to confer with
M. H. DE GAGERN and General VON DER. TANN,
Commander-in-Cbief of the army of the Duchies ;
and after this conference the Lieutenancy may have
been more disposed to an arrangement. The Federal
Commissioners had allowed three days' delay,
which were to expire on the 12th, and at the
expiration of them they intended to have re-
course to coercive measures. Our letters add,
that if the Federal Commissioners should suc-
seed in obtaining from the Lieutenancy-
General the dismissal of the army, they will consider
their mission terminated, as they will reserve the de-
finite arrangement respecting the organization of the
Duchies to the Conferences of Dresden." A tele-
graphic dispatch of a subsequent date—Kiel, the 11th
—announces that in a secret sitting, which lasted till
half-past six in the morning, the National Assembly
resolved, by 42 votes to 26, to authorise the Lieu-
tenancy-General to accept the propositions of the Com-
missioners, under the condition that Rendsburg and
Frederickstadt should be occupied by the holstein
troops.
