A Danish squadron, consisting of ship ofthe ne,
a frigate, corvette, and three steamers of war,
entered the Bay of Eckemford early this morning,
and opened fire against the batteries. At 6 A. M.
one of the steamers was crippled, and soon made
off. The firing continued without intermission on
both sides till halfpast II, when the Danish Ad-
mira, Paludan, hoisted the white flag, and seat
flag of truce on shore, demanding the battery to
cease firing and he would withdraw, else he would
lombard the town. The commanding officer,
Jungmann, replied, He might do as he pleased;
every ball he had was destined for the ships. The
flag of truce went backwards and forwards till 1
O'clock when firing recommended In an hour

We have accounts from the army to the 4th in
slant On the Sd, General Rye crossed the Konig-
sen, ande Schleswig by three different roads
His division all $500, men of different arms,
in three separate columns. That marching towards
Hadersleben, consisting of $500 men, fell in with
the Scheswi Holsteiners and Gellans, from 200
to / 500 men strong, who were attacked and driven
through that town, after some little fighting, where
by the Danes lost four killed and ten wounded.
The Danes, on the 4th, had possession of Hader-
seben, and sent advanced guard to Marms, to
open road On the Sd, in the morning, another
Danish force left Alsen, about 5000 men strong,
and landed on the Sumderct They took two diff
ferent routes, to cut off advanced corps of
SchleswigH olstein troops, who had some artillery
and consisted of 1900 to 5000 men. They were
attacked at Atzbel, and near Agensund, near Ora
venstien at the same moment but as they retired
rapidly from both Places the Danes returned to their
position and remained there unmolested. On the
18th some few of their men were killed, and about
twenty wounded, and some few wounded Ger
mans fell into the hands of the Danes Although
the loss of the Christian and Geor is deeply felt in
this capital yet there is no Responding. Measures
have been taken to equip Immediately the Den
mark frigate, and to equip another line of battle
ships also the S. H. lola, of 50 guns. 1t is expect
cd they will be ready for sea by the 10th.
Austria.
The Vienna journals contradict the rumors of
Gen. Bem's defeat by the Russians, and the flight
of his troops into Wallachia. 1t appears on the
contrary that TIE Austrian general, Puchner, sur
rounded by hostile population, and hard pursued
by the Magaers' irregulars, has thought proper to
resign his command, and place himself under the
| protection of the Russians, in Wallacha. He was
accompanied by three other Austrian generals, and
his troops were left to the care of Gen. Kalliani.
The Austrian forces at Cronstadt were very
short of ammunition, and were preparing to re-
cross the frontier, and return to Wallachia Their
baggage had already left for that province. Gen.
BEN was almost undisturbed in the possession of
the whole of Pennsylvania, and preparing to take
Cronstadt, the last city in that kingdom which is
still held by the Austrian and Russian troops.
Ireland.
The reports for the past year from: the District
Poor Law Inspectors to the Commissioners at Dub
lin record volume of misery most sickcning to
glance over. Every page of this book, which is
about to be laid before Parliament, teens with evil
| peasantry of Ireland under sufferings that have
had parallel in the history of the civilized world
| A clergyman from the parish of Connaught says
! this whole district is almost wilderness. "Out
of r. 900 inhabitants which was the population of
this parish four years ago, am sure we have not
5000 at present; and for andholders, am posi-
tive there is not one out of five remaining so that
the creatures that still live and move here may be
termed rather an accumulation of dead and dying
humanity, than what is generally meant by popu-
latlon."
The most Reverend DIR. Crolly, the Roman Ca
tholic Primate, expired on the 9th inst in Droghe-
da, after an attack OF cholera of nine hours dura-
ton. The deceased prelate was highly esteemed
by all members of religious and political persua-
sons, being ever remarkable for Christian liberia
hty toward his dissenting fellow countrymen, and
love of peace and order. DR.. Crolly was warm
supporter Of the national system of education, and
indeed, OF every measure that tended to the pur-
pose CT enlightenment.
Letters from Turin, of the Sth instant, announce
that after General Del-la-Marmora had bombarded
Genoa for twenty-four hours, and the city had
been set fire in several places, deputation
from the municipality had waited on him on the
evening of the 9th, to request an armstice of
brty-eight hours, in order to proceed to Turin to
arrange capitulation. The armstice was granted,
and the deputatlon proceeded to Turin, where
they arrived on the 9TH instant. The triumvirate
had fled from Genoa, with the exception of
Avegana.
The agtators Accenedetta and Mreln had
embarked for Leghorn.
The French Republic.
The cholera is making sad ravages amongst the
troops who are quartered In the temporary barracks
erected in the several quarters of Paris. 1t is be-
lieved that the dampness of the weather has much
contributed to the development of the disease.
Measures have been adopted for their removal INTO
more healthy quarters.
