The treaty for the suspension of hostilities be-
tween Germany and Denmark, has at last been
concluded and has been signed by the plenipoten-
tiaries of the different powers who had taken part
IN the negotiations carried on in this city. An
armis,ce for six months has been agreed to- Ac-
cordng to the stipulations of this convention, the
Duchy of Schleswig is TO receive a separate GO
vernment TO be vested in three persons, Of which
one is to lie appointed by England, enc by Prussia,
and one by Denmark. The military forces ia
Schleswig are to be removed TO lIolsiein, and the
north of the Duchy is TO be occupied by Swedish,
and the south by Prussian troops. IIolsteIn is to
remain under Its present government. The cha
racteristic feature of this treaty is the separation
of the Duchy Of Schleswig from Holstein. The
main object for which the war had been com
menced, on the part of Germany, for which il had
been carried on, and for which it had latterly been
renewed, has, it would seem, thus been defeated,
as the union of the two duchies may be regarded
annulled by the present convention, which Is TO
form the basis for the settlement Of a defnitlve
peace. This result has, as learn, been brought
about principally by the mediation Of the English
ambassador, who had taken a most active part in
the negotiations. But, as If to mock all diplomatic
proceedings, the intelligence of an event, which
will probably completely alter the position of the
different parties was received by the government
here, on the very day on which the armistice
was signed. This intelligence was, that SAN
culinary battle had taken place, between the Ger
mans and the Danes, near Friedericia, in which
the former had been completely defeated and
put TO fight, after the loss Of three thousand
men killed, wounded, and made prisoners. The
Prussisn army, in anticipation Of the settlement Of
an armisiicc, had of late almost entirely suspended
/ operations against the Danes. Indeed, its move
ments for the last few weeks plainly showed, what
am assured 10 have been the fact, that the Prus-
sian command er-in.c chief had received orders not
TO advance further into Jutland, and TO avoid en-
/ P9cemens with the Danish troops Relying on
/ tie tafdy operations Of the Prussian army, the
Danes had for some time meditated coup against
the united Schleswig III osten forces, under Gene
raj Won BONN, stationed near Friedericla For that
purpose they had concentrated about $1,000 troops
IN the latter fortress, without any attempt having
been made, on the part OF the Pussens, to prevent
their doing so, or any notice having been given by
the Prussian commander-in-chiei, who had been
IN possession OF full information with regard TO the
plan Of the Danes, Of the movements OF the enemy
to the commander Of the Schleswig Hosteln troops.
Il
army under General Won BONN, had succeeded IN
making sortie from Friedericia and surprising the
Germans, who were obliged TO retreat after an
obstinate resistance, and after having lost nearly
the whole of their artillery. The indignation
against the conduct of the Prussian comman-
def-n-chief, which, as yet, remained unexplain-
ed, is universal throughout the duchies, and,
noer1, throughout Germany. In consequence
Of this event, II is believed that very decided re-
,nonstrances will be urged by Schleswig-Hol-
st,,in against the armistice, and that, on the
other hand, Denmark will not be likely to rati-
~ the same without new concessions being made
on The ma It OF Germany. | learn, however, on
further inou ;es that the agent Of the Danish GO

the treaty. which us just been concluded, will
nevertheless be ratified " HE government, without

the armistice has not yet been notiedby lenma,k

course OF to-day or tomorrow, when the tea'y
will be published, and the terms, as have sta,' %
above, be made known. II Denmark should not

ces the war will be resumed, on the part Of Ger
