The Denmark correspondent Of tho London
Times writes to that paper that the Danes al
ready, without having run the chances Of a
decisive encounter, have suffered losses which
th,ir inferiorty OF numbers renders almost
irrepsrable. II ia calculated that no less than
Ave hundred men were put hors de combat at
Missunde, Bustrup, and the other oombats at
the Dannewerk about one thousand were a.
mong the killed, wounded or missing in the
retreat. and no less than five hundred or six
hundred more have either fallen or have been
taken prisoners in the defense Of Dybol and
Frederick. On the whole, the Danish army
is certainly less strong by two thousand com
6atants than II was at the opening Of the war,
when it mustered no more than thirty thou
sand combatants. No doubt the losse Of the
Austrians and Prussians have been through
out fully as severe, but they can better afford
it.
