GERMANY.

The Kolner Zeitung publishes a letter. from Frank-
fort of the 11th, which states that the two Austrian
corps in Bohemia and Vorarlberg were advancing
upon the frontiers to carry out the intervention in
Electoral Hesse, when they received counter orders
and fell back into their old positons. Count MON,
the Austrian agent at Frankfort, received this news
on the afternoon of the 10th, when the Frankfort
Council had just resolved to call in the intervention
of Austria and Bavaria in Hesse. It is stated that
Lord PALMERSTON'S protest induced the Cabinet of
Vienna to abandon the thought of an armed inter-
vention.

The Frankfort Council (says the correspondent of
the Kohler Zeitung) was by no means edified by this
backward move on the part of Austria, and much
less so by the news that the negotiations at Rumpen-
heim may possibly lead to a change in the Govern-
ment of "Hesse.
Our advices from Cassel are of the 10th instant.
M. OETKER is still in prison. From Hanau we learn
that the officers of that garrison have resolved to fol-
low the examples of their comrades at Cassel.
Great excitement prevails at the Russian Embassy
in Vienna, and it is said that Russia is urging Aus-
tria to interfere in the affairs of Hesse.
The Austrian Correspondent speaks of an alliance
offensive and defensive between Austria, Bavaria,
Wirtemburg, and Saxony.
A letter from Frankfort of the Bth says—
" Now that the German Diet has ratified the treaty of
peace concluded between Denmark and Prussia, Baron
Bulow Ambassador from Denmark to the Diet, will,
immediately upon the ratification being exchanged, make
some propositions relative to Holstein. It is his inten-
tion to propose that orders should be sent, having for
their object the reduction of the lleLtein army to eLe-
third its present amount; and that the tranquillity cf
llolsteiu should be prserved by the federal troops—a
proposition to which, we are persuaded, the Diet will
give their sanction."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The two armies remained in stutu quo on the 11th.
The Danes were fortifying their psitions on every
point. Frederichstadt is a Op of ruins ; the inhabi-
tants have removed to Hasam.
The short Danish official report of the attack. of
the 4th, published by the War Department in Copen-
hagen, is as follows :
" FIIEDERICIISTADT, OCT, 5.
"After the enemy had cannonaded our work!, and the
town itself, the whole of yesterday, with unusual vigour,
I received at half-past 5 iu the afternoon, the report that
they were advancing in strong columns of attack. The
outer line of &foam as.yell.as the works lying behind,

had already been occupied, and the garrison pre-
pared to received them. About a quarter to 6 the
enemy opened their fire, and came on in four columns,
of from one and a quarter to two battalions each,
by the road on the Eyder Dyke, the Chaussee,
and the Dyke of the Treene. The columns were
supported in the advance by, a heavy fire from the batteries
in our front from some guns laid behind the Holstein
Eyder Dyke and from the cannon-boats on the river.
The enemy made repeated attempts to take our lines by
storin, but were repulsed each time with loss. Later in
the evening they confined themselves to keeping up a
heavy cannonade against our works, and about eleven
o'clock at night withdrew to their former positions. Ac-
cording to the statement of a prisoner the enemy had a
force of seven battalions under fire, that were led by
General Willisen himself. The number of the troops
we had actually engaged did not exceed two battalions.
" The attempt to storm the town lasted about an hour.
A captain and a lieutenant, both wounded, and 30 subal-
tern officers and pzivates have been brought in prisoners.
Our loss in killed and wounded I cannot yet state.

"HELGESEN."

To this may be added the report sent to Copen-
hagen on the 6th, by the Commander-in-Chief in
Schleswig :
" The intelligence received last evening from Fried-
reichstadt is as glorious as satisfactory; it proves that
this point can be very well held. With the most deter-
mined coolness the attempt of the enemy to storm the
place was four times repulsed, although at ono time one
of their flags was planted on a breastwork, and the con-
flict became hand to hand.

" The earthworks and the guns, notwithstanding the
heavy fire the enemy kept up from all his batteries, have
sustained little or no injury; but the town is reduced to
a total heap of ruins, with the exception of the north-
western portion, partly by fire and partly by the im-
mense number of heavy shot which have battered down
the walls.
" The spirit of our troops in_ Frederichstadt is excel-
lent. The enemy have gained nothing, while the severe
loss they have suffered in the defeated attempt at storm-
ing the place must certainly have a depressing effect on

their trOope.
" In proportion to the obstinacy of the conflict our
own loss is small, amounting (besides two officers, Lieu-

tenants Vaupel and Wadskitei, killed) to 120 subaltern
officers killed and wounded. The number the enemy
have lost cannot be given, but far more than 100 dead
bodies having been picked np in front of the works, it
must be very heavy.
" Of our officers, Captain Von Schaumau and Lieu-
tenant VOE 3 aro wounded."
