of Germany and Denmark, with respect to the
duchies, has taken a more satisfactory turn, owing
to the friendly mediation of a non-German power.
This power is said to have proposed an expedient
which is calculated to satisfy the exigencies of Ger-
many without wounding the susceptibilities of Den-
mark, and which i 9, that Denmark shall only sub-
mit to the states of the duchies such of the enact-
ments of the common con•stitution as hare made a
change in the institutions placed under the protec-
tion of the provincial states. This is said to be
only what Prussia and Austria require."
