The two Southern provinces Of Denmark,
Sleswig and HosIein, are chiefly populas
led by the German, instead of The Scandinas
ton race, and in this respect differ from the
remainder of Denmark. Holsiein is almost
lentrely inhabited by Germans, and has been
Annexed to Denmark al a comparatively late
period Of history Sleswig has large nums
ber of Danes in il. but is still German in its
character, sympathy and population. When
1.-THE revolution. Of lS4S broke out, and was
followed by the general enthusiasm through
out Germany, in favor ofa great German ma.
ton, tie people Of Seswig and IIolstein,
with others descended from the Teuionic
stock desired to secede from Denmark, and
4 Join the new confederation. In this wish
they were secretly upheld by Prussia, apowsss
er ever ready to aggrandize itself, or weaken
u neghbor. Denmark, however, protested
against parting with provinces which had ,
been ceded to her on the faith OF treaties,
ind prepared for war. HosiilIies have cons
Itinued since, with varied fortune, and in spite
of numerous efforts on the part Of neighbor~
ing powers to make peace. Meantime, both
races have become mutually exaspera;ed a.
gainsi each other, rendering their living tO-
/ gelher under one government more difficult
| than ever. Unless the Danes, however are
checked by Prussia, the revoted Provinces
will have to give in; and if Prussia seriously
interfere, Russia will probably assist Denmark.
