GERMANY,

The Hamburg Borsenhalle says—The differences be-
tween the Austrian and Prussian commanders at May-
ence, respecting the transit of the Baden troops destined
for Prussia, have entered into a new and very impor-
tant phase. The Austrian Government has issued a
peremptory order to the commander of the fortress to
oppose the further transport of troops from Baden to
Prussia by force of arms, although this order ap-
pears very difficult of accomplishment, as the Baden
troops in going by land are quite beyond the reach
of the guns of the fortress of Mayence, yet we be-
lieve that the order itself, for this inimical demon-
stration, will carry its lull weight in the proper
quarter.
The members of the Peace Congress are arriving
every day at Frankfort. The committee has pub•
lished the following programme of the proceedings :
" The assembly of the Congress will take place upon
the 22d, 23d, and 24th of August. In the first sitting
under the presidency of a member, the specification of
members present, as well as of those who transmit
written adhesions, will be real. A president, substitute.
and secretaries will then be elected. After appointing
the bureau, the president will open the meeting with a
speech, and will then permit the meeting to determine its
order of business. The deliberations will extend over va-
rious points to be submitted by the committee. The most
special of these are, first, the ways and mode by which dis-
putes between nations may be settled by arbitration. (2.;
fhe speedy assembly of a general committee of the dif-
ferent nations for the purpose of drawing up legal anti
popular statutes for international relations. (3.) The
urgency of calling the attention of all Governments to a
general disarmament. (4.) The setting aside of many
causes of war between nations by proper political
and economical measures, especially through the
development of means of communication, exten-
sion of post-office reform', diminution of state
expenses, improvement of education and instruction,
uniformity as far as possible of currency, weights, and
measures; and, lastly, through the extension and further
application of peace societies. It is understood, as
a matter of course, that no one can be permitted to
speak in defence of war. Everyone who declares himself
a member thereby tacitly acknowledges the principle (4
peace), and that the solutions of all national questions
are opposed to the doctrines of religion, philosophy
(what will the philosophers of Germany, who made war
• against Denmark and the schism in Germany, say to
this?), morality, and the objects of states (??), and
that humanity makes it our duty to endeavour to bring
about peaceful arrangements. Consequently, all obser-
vations made during the Congress must be limited to
the means of preventing war and sanguinary decisions
by arrangements in harmony with the above principles.
"In the name of the Committee of the Peace Congress."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Danish Minister of War has issued the fol-
lowing :
" Copenhagen, Aug. 1.
" The Danish Minister of War calls public attention
to the folloWing:—
"As the so-called Schleswig-Holstein army is in a
state of open rebellion against its legitimate Sovereign,
all those not born in the duchies of Schleswig and Hol-
stein, who have taken service in the insurgent army,
whether non-commissioned officers or privates, are sum-
moned to quit a service not placed under the safeguard
of international laws. In case of recalcitrancy they will
not be treated as prisoners of war, if taken.
