mark and the entrance Of the troops Of his majesty
the king Of Prussia and of different other states of the
Germanic confederation into the Duchy Of Sohloswg
have failed to awaken the attention and solctude
of his majesty the king of Sweden and Norway. Con-
sidering the mprsscriptibe right which the united
Kingdoms have to participate in the resolutions which
may be taken with respect to the affairs of the north
and considering the dangers which may arise for the
sequence Of the attack now directed against Den
mark, the king thinks right to make known to the
royal Of Prussia his opinion thepresent
state Of things and to declare to It openly and fra
tho manner Of acting which his majesty, after tho
desire manifested by his majesty the king Of Denmark,
intends to adopt, and in the political complioa-
ton Of the moment, he considers founded on right
1t does not belong to the King to decide the dispute
atve to the Duchy Of Schleswig. The possession Of
that country guaranteed to Denmark by other
powers, which have already offered their mediation to
remove the differences which unfortunately have arise
majesty will decide this question But in case the
dispute should not be confined to the Duchy of Sches
wig, If Eruption of troops Of the Germanic Con-
federation into other provinces Of Denmark be fear
ed the king could not with indifference such at
tack on the Independence of neighboring ally and
his majesty would consider the pers which may result
from it to the safety and independence of his own
states sufficient motive for sending corps darmee
to Fonia any other island belonging to the Danish
Danish majesty, and to act in common with them,
with the perfectly defensive object Of opposing any
Decentralization Of German troops. For this purpose
the king is causing squadron to leave Carlscrona,
apd his majesty Is causing troops to be assembled on
the frontiers Circumstances alone will determine
the instructions to be given to these troops, and
to what extent they will be embarked to be con-
veyed to the states of his majesty the king
Of Denmark. These measures dictated by solictuds
for the independence of the united kingdoms and the
justice Of which cannot be denied have offensive
character. and the royal government Of Prussia may
convince itself that they have only been adopted after
events had taken developement which longer per-
mitted the united Kingdoms to remain quiet
of the deporabe struggle, which approached nearer
and their frontiers. and influenced their
most important relations The king sincerely desires
that the dispute which has arisen between Denmark
and Germany, may be terminated by amcabe
compromise, and his majesty has not lost the hope of
seeing the good understanding which Is ndispensaby
to the reciprocal interests of the two
tries re-established between them. The king will
always be ready to cooperate in bringing about pa
cifc reconciliation founded equitable bases. To
attain this object, it would be necessary that hosti
ties thould part and the other and that
negotiations should be opened under the mediation Of
the powers which by their situation their politica
relations might have the desire and the right to inter-
to prepare the re-estabshment of a reciprocal
good understanding. The king. in causing the pre-
sent declaration to be sent to the Of his
majesty the king of Prussia believes he may express
the hope that 1t will through the kind Intervention OF
that government be communicated to the other pow
ers, members Of the Germanc confederation"
