ne Paris papers OF the 2Sth, confirm
our previous report that the eight moderate
members Of the Provincial government Will
be at the top of the l,st Of the thirty-tour
deputies elected for Paris, while the four
members of more violent tendency, will
be nearly at the bottom of it.
The elections in the department were, on
the whole, of Il similar character.
These facts suggested fears tina; the ultra
republicans mi! hit make an aitempLto dis
solve the Chamber by force. but up 10 the
moment when our despatch left Paris, ev-
erylhiQg was tranquil. The government
was, however. fully prepared to meet any
danger that might present itself.

returns, from the sections as well as from
the departments, continue TO be most salts

The Sehleswig territory has been the
scene OF another action between the Danes
and the Free Corps. The bands of Prus-
slan and other volunteers, (which have cross
ed the Elder, came into collision with the
Danes on the highway between kiel and
Eckel!orIe, in the wood OF SchnclImarker,
on the morning of the 2lst; and after bat
tie OF five hours duration, with the loss Of
20 Killed and 80 wounded, but to what eX-
tent the Danes suffered, as our advices
reach us from Hamburger, is not known

gagged in the action, supported by a small
body OF cavalry and couple of field pieces

The train from Rendsburg has brought
/ intelligence OF the taking Of the town OF
I SchloswIg by the troops Of the Conladera-

The conflict was bloody one, the Danes
having strong position, and doing great
execution with their artillery and rIfemen
before it was carried. The Danes had
from 10000 TO 10000 men; the force of
! the Confederation was the greatest, but il
! was not all engaged; four prussan rcgi-
meats Of the gaard and line formed the
bulk Of the attacking army. The loss of
the Prussians, SO far as can be gathered
from the unauihenticatcd accounts, IS about
300 men Killed and wounded, principally
Of the I'd and 20thregimcnts. tp to Mon
day morning IlG wounded had been bro't
into the Rrnd>burg hospital. That oc the
