THE TENANT LEAauE.-The proceedings of
meeting held Tuesday at Kmallock, in the
county of Limerick, were diversified by remarka-
BILE speech delivered by Roman Catholic clergy
man of some celebrity in the annals OF Irish aglta-
ton, (the Rev DR.. Croke, OF Charlevllc) who thus
propounded his peculiar views Of the hopes and
prospects of the tenant league movement:
90 For myself, (said the Rev monitor,) without
wishing to cool the ardor, much ess to impeach the
wisdom or political integrity OF any OF those ny
whom am surrounded, must in candor confess
to you that, however anxious to see tenantright
established amongst us on lasting and satisfactory
basis, cannot indulge a reasonable hope that the
present system of agitation will ever lead to that
result. II differs in my mind, but in name and
diminished resources from that by which repeal
wassought to be obtained nor can fail TO wonder
that the example Of the past has not precluded the
possibility of a similar delusion."

HAMBURe, Oct. IL.
With the end Of the operations against Freider-
ichstadt, another period of inactivity in the field
has commenced; but no one ventures TO hope that
the recent events have brought the conflict in any
degree nearer conclusion.
The short Danish official report Of the attack of
the 4th, published by the War Department in Co.
penhagen, is as follows:
"FRErpEpIcHsrApr, Oct. 5.
CATER the enemy had cannonaded our works,
and the town itself the whole of yesterday, with
unusual vigor, received, at half past in the af-
ternoon the report that they were advancing in
strong columns of attack The outer line Of de-
fences, as well as the works lying behind, had al
ready been occupied, and the garrison prepared TO
receive them About quarter TO six the enemy
opened their fire, and came on in four columns, OF
from one and quarter 10 two battalions each, by
the road on the Eydcr Dyke, the Chaussee, and the
Dyke of the Trecnc. The columns were supported
in the advance by heavy fire from the batteries
in trent, from some guns laid behind the iiol-
stein Eyder Dyke, and from the cannon boats on
the river. The enemy made repeated attempts TO
take our lines by storm, but were repulsed each
time with loss Later in the evening they confined
themselves 20 keeping up a heavy cannonade
against our works, and about IL O'Clock at night
withdrew to their former positions. According 10
the statement Of prisoner, the enemy had n force
of seven battslions under fire, that were led by
General Willisen himself The number Of the
troops we had actually engaged did not exceed two
battalions.
''Tbe attempt to storm the town lasted about an
hour. captain and Lieutenant, both wounded,
and thirty subaltern officers and priyates, have
been brought in prisoners. Our loss in killed and
wounded cannot yet state. HELoEsEN."
To this may be added the report sent TO Copen-
hagen on the 9th, by the ooInmander-in-chiefi in
Schleswig:
HThc intelligence received last evening from
Frederichstadt IL glorious as satisfactory Il
proves that this point can be very well hold. With
the most determined coolness the attempt Of tho
enemy 10 storm tho place four times repusedi
although at time one Of their flags was planted
on a breastwork, and the conflict became hand 10
hand
'''rhc carthworks and the guns, Notwithstanding
the heavy fire the enemy kept up from all his bat
teries have sustained little no injury but the
town is reduced TO total heap Of ruins, with the
exception Of the northwestern portion, partly by re
and partly by the immense number OF heavy shot
which have battered down the walls
The spirit Of our troops in Freidcrichstadt IL er
cclent. The enemy have gained nothing, while
the loss they have suffered In the defeated
attempt at sorrning the place must certainly have
depressing effect ON their troops.
