THE MINISTER CF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF GREAT BRITAIN
TO HENRY HOWARD, CHARGE DES AFFAIRES ()F THE
BRITISH LEGATION AT BERLIN.
"Foreign-office, July 31.
Sir,—l have the honour to invite you to draw the
serious and urgent attention of the Prussian Govern-
went to the fact that immediately after the signing of
a treaty of peace, concluded with Denmark by Prussia,
acting not only in its own name,
but in the name
of the whole Germanic Confederation, the Lieu-
tenancy which now governs Holstein, issued orders to
the Holstein army to invade Schleswig, and in
thus acting committed au act of hostility and
aggression, in violation of the peace which, according
to the engagements ef Prussia, the whole Germanic
Confederation were bound to preserve. It would be dis-
respectful to the Prussian Government to suppose that
the engagement entered into by it should be allowed to
be a mere nullity, and to have no practical result; and
that Holstein, which forms tart of the Germanic Con•
federation, and which as such ought to be bound by the
engagements ttccepted by Prussia, should, notwithstand-
ing such engagements, be free to recommence hostilitio-,
which were suspended during the armistice. The regard
due to the goad faili of diplomatic engagements appears
in consequence to exact that the PrusbDal Government
should employ, Without deisy, all the means in its power,
with the view of inducing the present Government of
Holstein to respect the engagement that Prussia has
conertx.e.l in the name of llolsteir, as well as in the
name of all the other members of the Germanic Con-
federation. The Government of her Britannic Majesty
sincerely and arde,.tly hopes that Prussia will thus *xi,
and prevent, in an effective and definitive manner, the
Holstein Government from again making the conclusion
of a peace the signal or pretext for a renewal of war.

COUNT (~F PERPoNCLIER, CHARGE DES AFFAIRES OF

PRUSSIA AT LOND, N.
" The British Chargb des Affaires, Mr. Howard, has
communicated to me a dispatch from the British Fo-
reign Secretary of State, of which I send you a copy.
You will therein see that the British Secretary of State
xpresses an opinion that the Government of the King
should use all the means in his power with the General
Lieutenancy in order to induce it to cease from hostili-
ties, which he qualifies as a violation of the treaty of the
2d of July. The Government of the King wtllinglt
renders full and en ire justice to the lively desire of the
Secretary f Sate for the cessation-of the effu-
sien of blood in the Duchies, and the re-establishment of
peace; it sincerely participates in these views, and be
heves it has often eisen proof, by its acts, of its senti-
ments in this respect. But, the Government must, in
the first place re mai k, that it possesses no other me anti
of rendering its influence of avail beyond giving its ad-
vice to the two parties in question, since it is tint ate ho•
rised to exercise any other means over an authority es-
tablished by the onlede . ratien Ilolsteln. It could not
have the right before the ratification of the p,ace by
the Confederation to render the General Lieutenancy
responsible for its violation; and eve n a ter tho ratifies-
teal it could only act in the name and after the special
delegation of the Confederation.
The Government sincerely regrets that such ratifi-
cation has not taken place before, but it has a right to
suppose that it is not utiknoan to the Secretary ef State
that the difficulties which have been opposed hitherto to
the ratification have not arisen
the contrary, they have originated elsewhere; that they
eith p, us,ja; that, on
are the consequences of a state of things foreign to the
question, sine that Prussia has done all in her power, and
with a certain degree of personal abnegation, to remove
those difficulties.

event Prussia must negative, with all her energy, any ob-
ligation to interfere in the Duchies—an obligatien that
is sought to be deduced from the treaty. The simple
reading of the treaty proves.
that Prussia never entered
into such an engagement; it is on this account, there-
fore, that we have been surprised to see this treaty
quoted in the dispatch of Lord Palmerston. No one
knows better than the mediating power, that a simple
peace has been expressly concluded by the two parties,
with the understanding that events were to be left to
their free course, and to abandon to the will of the two
parties the settlement of all matters in dispute between
the Duchies and their sovereign, taking into account that
they might even have recourse to arm,. Prussia would
show herself then, unfaithful to her engagements it'
she undertook an intervention in either eensea This
mode of looking at the question, Waft the text of
the treaty justifies in the moot undoubted- manner, is
besides that of another contracting party, Den
mark having taken nu step indicating in the most
distant manner that she considered Prussia obliged to
oppose by force the resumption of hostilities. The Go-
vernment of the King must leave to the Confederation
to take ulterior measures, if, from the nature of things,
as well as in observance of the treaty of peace, events
might occur that would call in gib-snot] its rights or its
duties. The Government of the King prejudges nothing
upon this point; it must reserve the decision thereof to
i
the Contederationself. You will treaty state to the
British Secretary of State this position of the Govern-
ment of the King when you rcad to him this dispatch,
and assure him that the Government of the King not
only partakes in the wish to see these differences, but
that he will endeavour, by every means in his power, to
accomplish this wish in favour of the patties by concilia-
tory mesas.—Accr.pt, &c.,

Accounts from amenhagen of the 28th ult. state
that the Morganatic marriage of the KING with the
pretty milliner, whom he has created Countess VON
DANNER, has occasioned great consternation among
the aristocracy and courtiers. The ladies who attend
court, and who are highly indignant at this marriage,
are under great apprehensions lest they should re-
ceive a command to wait upon the Countess VON
DANNER. This apprehension is the greater because
It is known that the lady in question has declared
that nothing will give her prouder satisfaction than
to see all the ladies whom she waited upon as their
dressmaker now come and pay their court to her.
