meRcial ADVERTISER.
The principal event of the present week
has been renewed attack by the Schleswig
Holsteners on the Danes, which has resulted
hkeaH their previous efforts, in discourage
menk From IIesse 1CasseI the news continues
to be regarded with great interest," but moth
ing has occurred to alter the state of affairs as
they were discussed in my letter by the last
packet In France the position OF Louis Napo-
leon seems to become less favorable and prices
on the Paris Exchange have continued to de-
cline. At home the utter absence of public
ineiden: of any kndis still remarkable
THE DANES AND. THE HOLSTEINERS.
The account last week left the Holsteiners
preparing to make an attempt tosreeoYer the
tem of Friederickstad, Ia fortified place, with
about 2, 400 inhabitant,) which commands the
sfyer Eyder, and which, they had Abandoned
after the battle of listed, Pho operations for
this purpose commenced on the 10th of Sep
tember, and after five days, during which
it was believed they had sufficiently crippled
the external defence of the Danes to render
it practicable to tahe the town by storm, ana
a general attack was resolved upon. On the
3dof October, therefore, the movement was
ordered, and the Holstein army advanced IN
three columns from three different points
But alteugh the highest amont OF personal
,darinp was shown, the day closed with the
bitter fact that in each case it had been shown
ia vain. and that a heavy loss had once more
been incurred without efecting the smallest
result. The unreieyed train of disaster to
which the Holsteiuers have been subjected,
from the very commencement OF the war, was
notadiminished in the present instance In
one quarter the blowing up of an an1m unlhon
wagon, and in anothersthe drowning OF an en-
lire company BY the breaking in of pentoon
bridge were among the many dispiritlng cir
cumstances that marked the whole proceeding,
The hard secretiveness of their opponents also
drew them into imminent loss, since during
the attack of the preceding days-on the ex-
ternal works. .ofthe town, the Danes, by grad
ually slakenine the defensive FIRE had given
the impulsive Holsteiners reason to believe
that many works had been sienced and dis
aoled. which now, whenthe final rush toward
them was made, sent forth with unimpaired
efieience the most terrific yolleys-
The loss from this unsuccessful attempt
was hastilyaestimated by General Willisen at
800 or s30oin killed and wounded. But sub
Sequent accounts show that goo or 700 would
be much nearer the number. The loss IN the
town on the partof the Danes is reported to
have been trifiing The damage to the place
however, has been#yery great one hall OF y as
q is alleged, having been destroyed.
- In these piecemesl disasters an extent o.
mischief is going on far greater than Wouto
takeplace in one decisive battle. A great loss
eudinr in route on either side would sum
-.up. the worst at once, but although the mum
Der of men that have been killed in this sac
war has been greater than in many engage
uoents that have sealed the fate of empires, the
sacrifice has been attended by no other conse
ouences than that of making both parties more
stubborn than at the commencement. I'm
.mediatelys after the failure of the attempt OF
Frederickstadt was announced, the SchesWie
Holstein Diet issued proclamation calling
the country to new efforts. A forced LOAF
was decreed to supply the necessary funds
s=at1ds an increase in the army was resolved up
on To the extent of upward of five thousand
uasu Meanwhile the surrounding nation
look on compIacently, their only step having
been the issue of protocol which is used b.
the Holsteiners to strengthen their appe@ls t
German sympathy. ssThe powerful Cabinet
