THE DANISH AND HoLsTRN WAR.


BY the arrival at Boston of the steamer Europa,
from Liverpool the 10th instant we learn that there
nave been no movements of the Danish and Holstein
armies since our previous adyices, but the belger-
ents had been strengthening their forces preparatory
to an immediate renewal of hostilities The Am
bassadors OF the principal European Powers in
London, in the mean time, have held conferences
with view Of agreeing on the terms on which they
will unanimously recommend to the beligerent par
ties termination of the war. On the I'd instant
the following protocol was agreed to and signed.
The Prussian Minister was not present at the con-
ference, and did not sign the PROTOCOL nor did the
Austrian Charge d'Affaires sign it, but remains
open for the adoption rejection of those Govern
ments.
