Denmark nndMe Duchess The Schles-
wig Holstein army attempted to take
Frederickstadt by storm, but were re-
pulsed by the Danes. After bombarding
part of the town during the preceding day,
and destroying large block house clos e
to the road, the town was entered in the
evening by two batalions of infantry and
detachment of riflemen. After des-
perate struggle, in which both parties
experienced heavy losses, the Danes,
were obliged to seek the cover of new en-
trenchments, and barricades were then
thrown up in the town. The resistance
which the Holsteiners met was so violent
and determined, that notwithstanding the
most brilliant bravery, they were compel
led to retire. AT midnight they took up a
new position, and the conhic, was to be
renewed on the following morning. The
loss sustained by the Schleswig Holstein-
ers is yet unknown. They behaved ex-
tr'mely well.
