GERMANY.

The Refornae of Berlin (the Ministerial Journal)
thus announces the non -ratification on the part of
the Confederation of the treaty between Prussia and
Denmark :

" The Federal Central Commission, recognizad on all
sides, entrusted upon the 21st of January last the con-
ducting of the regotiations for peace with Denmark, in
the name of the Confederation to Prussia, under the re-
serve of the result being acknowledged by ail federal
Governments. The individual interests and exaggerated
cravings after sovereignty (souveraiszetiitsge/uste) of the
kingdoms, have, under the guidance of Amtria, deprived
this cotnreissior, of its f)rrner validity, and rendered it
incompetent to collect and pronounce the recognition of
all federal Governments to the treaty of peace of July 2.
Nothing, therebre, remained for Prussia but to com-
municate, i❑ virtue of its mandate (of January 21), its
summons to ratify to all federal Governments indi-
vidually, which Governments now collectively represent
the confederation. Prussia can only exchange a ratifi-
cation signed ty all members of the confederation, it
being at the sane time indifferent to her whether the
Governments united in the so-called Plenum ratify to-
gether or individually. Ic is clear that it would be folly
to admit that the Plenum would, through ratification or
non.ratification. compel or bind any Government not
belonging to that assembly in the name of the confede-
ration."

The Government of the Duchy of Nassau has sent
to the Cabinet )f Berlin a note, declaring that it
cannot give an individual ratification of the treaty of
peace with Denmark, as it agrees in opinion with
Austria that the ratification can only be given by an
organ representing the majority of the Germanic
Confederation.

The Duchy o 7 Oldenburg, says the Cologne Ga-
zette, has ratified the treaty of peace with Denmark,
subject to certain reservations as regards the rights of
the duchies.

The Hanover an Chambers were formally pro.
rogued on the 24th. Before the royal decree was
read, M. LANG said, " Germany and our country ex-
pect that the Government will give at least moral
support to the brave Schlesviig-Holsteiners. Long
live Schleswig-Holstein !" This cry was repeated
from all the benches.
A letter from Berlin states that the Prussian Mi-
nistry had received from the Cabinet of Vienna a
protest against the entry of Baden troops into Prussia
to keep garrison. The protest states that Prussia
thus disorganises the Bth corps d'armee.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
GREAT BATTLE - VICTORY OF THE
DANES-RETREAT OF WILLISEN.

A decisive battle, which lasted two days, took
place on the 25th acrd 26th instant, in the neighbour-
hood of Schleswig, between the Danish army and
that of Schleswig Holstein, which ended in the com-
plete defeat of the latter, who were forced to retreat
to Rendsburg, while the Danes occupied Schleswig,
and destroyed the batteries of Eckernforde. The
following • tekgraphic dispatches give details of the
action :

" Schleswig, July 25, noon.
11 The battle La: commenced. The firing of the ar-
tillery has never ceased since half-past two this morning.
The fighting is must sev.re on our (the insurgents') left
wing, commanded by Von der Tann. Willisen com-
mands the centre; the right wing is under the orders of
Von der Horst. The loss on the pare of the Danes is
already considerable, especially near the morass of Lu-
bucb, in which the Daiiish cavalry gut embarrassed in
the sinking ground. The bazzage of the general staff,
which has been left here, has been advanced again north-
wards.

We have
.just heard that Von der Tann has broken
through the Danish right wing.
Another telegraphic dispatch, dated Itendsburg,
25th, in the evening, says--
. Until ,ten in the morning victory was with the
Schleswig-Holst9iners, when the fortune of the day
cha,oged. At half-past two in the afternoon. the centre
of the Schleswig-Holstein army was broken through,
and it retired toSches.iilt, one mile north of the Eider.
, P.M.
" The Danes have occepied the town " ofEight Schlesawitr,
and the batteries of Eckernforde have been disarmed."
Two other telegraphic dispatches, one from Ham-
burgh the other from Schleswig, corroborate the above
intelligence. They state that the Schleswig-Hol-
steiners retired in good order, but were obliged to
evacuate Schleswig and Eckernforde. The Danes
are stated to have entered Schleswig at hall-past
eight in the evening. The head-quarters of the
Schleswig-Holstein army are at Rendsburg. The
ar
loss on bcth sides, in officers and men, e con-
siderable.

"Rendsburg, 26th.
" The Schleswig-Tlolsti in army have taken up a con-
centrated position, 26,000 strong, near Schestadt. We
have no intelligence reTeeting Von der Tann's di-
vision.

These latter dispatches, which proceed from the
head-quarters of the Insurrectionary forces, leave no
doubt of the victory of the royal troops.
A telegraphic distp,sch from Berlin, of the 2Gtb,
says—
Yesterday, after a sanguinary battle, which lasted
many hours, the Danes gained a decisive victory. The
liolsteiners, beaten on all sides, were driven back to the
frontier. The Danish head-quarters are in Schleswig.
The Helsteiners have evacuated Eckernforde, and dis-
armed their batteries."
