The general European news of the week is
quite embarrassing and unimportont, with the ex-
cepton OF the brief accounts received from Den
mark and from Portugal. Hos ilities between Dem
mark and the Dnchies continue. The Holsten
ports are blockaded by the Danes, and it is believed
that they will soon blockade the German ports, as
German officers have joined the SchIeswig Hol-
stein Union, and contributions of various arti-
Giles for the purposes of war haye been made by
Germans.
Accounts from Lisbon, of the 9Th, state that
on that day Mr.. Clay had advertised his household
effects, and intended to embark in a few DAYS for
the United States. Count TOTAL had sent note to
Mr. Clay, with his passports, expressing hope
that Congress will recognise the good faith of
Portugal, Shy either desisting from an untenable
claim, or agreeing to its settlement by arbitra
ton" In the meantime, the uncertain result of
this affair has had some effect on PORTUGUESE
stocks in this market; and the city article in Wed.
nesday's Posi-, referring to this subject, says that
the decision of the American Government in the
enforcement of its claims has been eXemplfed in
a variety OF instances. =" No evasion is permitted
/ and the case OF Mexico seems to offer sometime
like certainty that, if the said claims of the
Americans OH Portugal be founded in Justice, they
will not be allowed to be wholly and definitely
