GERMANY.

The Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 29th,
states that only one of the Prussian Plenipotentiaries
at the conference, M. MATHIS, has been recalled, and
that.even this recall is not considered definitive. A
subscription had been opened at Frankfort in favour
of the 6chleswig•Holsteiners, and had produced 4,000
florins.

The Berlin State Gazette, of the 29th, publishes
a note addressed by the Prussian Cabinet to the
Governments of the Germanic Confederation on
the subject of the treaty of peace with Den-
mark. After reciting the facts which preceded
this treaty, the note states that Prussia could not
advise the resumption of hostilities in a case in
which all Europe, with the exception cf Germany,
was on the side of Denmark, and what would
probably lead to an armed European intervention.
The note then goes on to state that the treaty reserves
the rights of the Duchies, as far as they are under
the protection of the Germanic Confederation, but
that it is for the Duchies themselves to come to an
arrangement with Denmark on the subject.
It is stated, in a letter from Berlin of the 29th, that
negotiations have been entered into for the prolonga-
tion of the period fixed for the ratification of the treaty
of peace of the 2d July.
The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin that a
committee has been formed there, at the head of which
are several distinguished men of all parties, to pro-
vide the means of giving assistance to Schleswig-
Holstein. . .

A letter from Vienna, 25th inst., in the Debats
says :—" I have this morning received the informa-
tion that the fourth corps d'armOe now cantoned in
Bohemia will shortly be disbanded. This will send
the fourth battalion of each regiment to their homes.
The Council of Ministers has also discussed the ques-
tion of granting an amnesty to 40 political prisoners,
Austrians by birth, and consequently more seriously
compromised than by the others. The amnesty, if it
be granted, will be proclaimed on the 18th August,
the anniversary of the birth of the EMPEROR. Other
acts of clemency will, it is positively stated, sig-
nalise this anniversary, when the raising of the state
of siege is also expected ; that event, however, will be
preceded by a new decree on the press."
It is rumoured in Berlin that Russia has sent a
circular note to the different European Governments
declaring that the EMPEROR regards the present diffi-
culties as capable of no solution, but a recurrence to
the treaties of 1815, and announcing his intention, in
accordance with those treaties, to aid the King of
DENMARK in his endeavours to incorporate Schleswig
in the Danish monarchy.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Hamburgh of the 28th, in the In-
dependance of Brussels, says :—" Up to four o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Danish army had not crossed
the eider, which separates Schleswig from Holstein.
This river is so rapid and deep that it can be navi-
gated by sea-going ships. The day after the battle
of the 25th General DE KROGII, commander-in-chief
of the Ranish army, caused an armistice to be pro-
posed, in order that he might wait the receipt of the
KING'S orders from Copenhagen relative to the inva•
sion of Holstein by the victorious army. A negative
reply was returned by General nu WlLLisnis.
Everything causes it to be supposed that the war
will very shortly be carried into that pro •
vince. The fortress of Rendsburg, which is situated
on the Eider, is completely armed, and stored for
eighteen months. It presents a formidable point
appui and of defence. Men and materiel of all
kinds continue to flow into Holstein. The army may
be able again to resume the offensive, unless, by
means of combined attacks by sea and land the
Danish General should in a few days carry the war to
the very heart of Holstein. Amidst the general con-
fusion, and the alarm caused by the shock of the two
armies, on the 24th and 25th, .the appearance of an
English fleet in the waters of Schleswig was an
flounced. At present it is known that it is a second
Russian fleet, from Cronstadt, which has arrived. I
think I can affirm that up to this day the Russian na-
val forces have not taken the least part in the com-
bat. This is important to state in consequence of
the new diplomatic attitude of France and England.
The Russian steamers and light vessels have only
been employed to convey a part of the Danish
army and war materiel into Schleswig. The
emotion caused in all northern Germany by the
disaster which has befallen the army of Holstein in-
creases every thy. In Oldenburg and Brunswick, it
is with great difficulty that the troops and populations
can be prevented from marching to the assistance of
those they call their brothers of Holstein. Should
these popular demonstrations continue in the north,
they may compromise the peace of the interior. A
considerable number of the inhabitants of Hano-
ver, accompanied by a great number of soldiers,
unarmed, assembled yesterday, and after forming
committees of assistance, sent a deputation to the
KING, praying him in the name of the capital to send
a corps of the national troops to Holstein. The
KING, as a German Sovereign, expressed his sym-
pathies for Holstein, and said that it ought to con-
tinue, as before the revolution, to form part of the
Germanic Confederation. It is expected, from the
excitement which prevails, that similar popular de-
monstrations will be made in the Grand Duchies of
Alecklenburgh, and the northern provinces of Prussia,
and it will be difficult for the Governments- to calm
them and neutralise the consequences."
