rel
All Sesia, Breslau, and even Lithuania, ap-
pear to be in an alarming state Of convulsion.
In Denmark no actual hostlities have yet
taken place in regard to the Duchies which have
declared independence; but the Danes are pre-
pairing their fleet for offensive and defensive
operations; and as it is in excellent condition,
and would inflct incalculable injury on the Prus-
sian commerce if actual war takes place, there is
corresponding hesitation on both sides as to who
