FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Nov. 28.

The Danish Government has made to the Federal
Diet, through the medium of its representative at
Frankfort, the following proposal for settling the
difficulties of the Holstein question :

A committee, one half of the members of which is
to be appointed by the General Council of State of
Denmark, and the other half by the Diet of the Duchy
of Holstein, is to be assembled at Copenhagen. This
committee is to propose the modifications whieh are
to be made in the constitution of Holstein. The
proposed modifications are to be submitted to the
direct examination of the Diet of Holstein before
the Danish Government is to decide definitively on
the subject of the proposals of the committee. The
Diet of Holstein would in that case have a consulta-
tive vote on the project of the proposed reforms of
its constitution. It is said that Prussia is not
quite satisfied with this proposal of Denmark, and
claims the full acceptance of all the reclamations of
Holstein, and also that the Diet of Holstein is not
to have a consultative but a deliberative and defi-
nitive vote. As it is likely that the Court of Co-
penhagen will not agree to this demand of Prussia,
it is said that the whole question of the German
Duchies will be submitted to the approaching
Congress.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

A Paris letter, in the Independence, says—" It
is unnecessary to again remark that the delay in
the convocation of the Congress is now caused not
by England, but by Austria; but it may be ob-
served that though the latter has not yet, on account
of the nomination of M. Bouncompagni to the Re-
gency, given her consent, no doubt is entertained
that she will soon do so. Although the visit of
Lord Cowley to London was not caused by any
project of disarming, it will at least have the ad-
vantage of bringing about a better understanding
between England and France as regards Italy and
the Congress, On this point all our letters agree."
The steel-plated frigate Gloire was launched at
Toulon, at half-past 11 on the morning of the 24th
inst., in presence of an immense concourse of spec-
tators. A vast multitude, anxious to see the launch
of this frigate, of a late invention, at an early hour
occupied every point from which the dockyard of
the Mourillon is visible. The harbour presented a
most animated appearance. Thousands of boats
formed a line to hail the Gloire on her 'passage to
the sea, which she accomplished with perfect
success.

The 7th Regiment of Artillery, under orders for
China, proceeded on Saturday from Strasburg by
railway to Brest, where they are to embark for
their destination.

A part of the 102 d Regiment of the Line arrived
at Toulon on the 25th inst., and were lodged in
tents preparatory to their being embarked on board
the Dryade fo: China.
The frigate Perseverante, commanded by Count
d'Hareourt, sailed on Friday last from Brest for
China. General de Montauban, Commander-in-
Chief of the French expedition to China, is to sail
from Marseilles on the 11th of January, on board
the Peninsular Company's steam-packet, for Alex-
andria.
