Hamburger dispatch of the 9th. states:

the Prussians will prevent the transmission of
news. Severe lighting is thought to be GO

" brought to Rendesburg
Marshal Wrangle has issued proclama-
ten to the Sehleswigers, saying the Civil
Commissioners of Austria and Prussia will
assume the administration Of the Duchy of
Schleswig only, and not, as had been stated,
of Schleswig and Holstein.n
The proceedings on the Sd instant, against
Sehleswig are reported as follows, IN an Off
cial bulletin from the Prussian headquarters
The Austrian vanguard, led by Gen. Ga
blenz in person, with the vanguard of the
Prussian guards, advanced against Schleswig.
At the third charge with the bavonet the
allies repulsed the Danes, posted between
Lottorf and Gutlerf, and stormed Konigsberg
and Oberselk- The attacking force captured
a rtied gun, and penetrated onward till be-

Another account asserts that the German
loss was very great. The attack was con
tinued on the 4th without making much inn
preston on the Danish lines
The King of Denmark had left Schleswig
and arrived at Sonderberg.
The loss of the Austrians in the storming
of Jage is estimated at 400, inuding many
officers. \ false guide conducted the Prus-

about 900 horS dat combat, viz: 800 killed
and wounded, and 700 i'll from the inclement
weather The loss of the Austrians at the
latest date was 300 officers and 5l9 men
1t is asserted that the Danes have sent
cruisers after a Prussian vessel. Duke Fred
rick has been proclaimed at Eickenforde and
Schwangen in Schleswig. The Austrian
Reichsrath had expressed its sympathy for the
army in Sehleswig, and granted an extr0rdi-
nary credit of 4, 000,000 forms.
GREAT BRITAIN.-An address in reply 20
the Queens speech was adopted in both hou-
ses of Parliament, without amendment. In
the House of Lords, Earl Derby reviewed at
length, the foreign policy of the government,
contending it was injurious and humiliating to
England. The rejection Of Emperor Napoie-
on's proposal for European Congress, and of
his invitation to recognize the government of
the Confederate States, together with fruit
less negotiation with Russia, respecting Po-
land, and the interference in the Dano-Ger-
man difficulty, were severally referred to- and
although he did not oppose the address, he
severely censured RusseIrs foreign policy
Russell, in reply, explained the Dauo-Ger-
man difficulty, and showed that England was
quite unfettered in the matter, never having
given the slightest promise of assistance to
Denmark.
Earl Grey condemned the bombardmcnt of
Kagosima, and thought Denmark had been
encouraged to look for assistance from Eng
land
In the British House of Commons, Mr. Dis
raeI contended that the Queens speech should
have made some reference to American affairs,
and complained of the silence on this and
other important subjects. Lord Palmerston
replied that the government could have re
peated what has often been said before, and
he could see no necessity for that.
Mr.. Gladstone explained that the promise
of England stand by Denmark was given
under circumstances different from those
which control the present war.
The Queens speech Is said to have caused
the most bitter disappointment in Denmark.
Lord @. Manners expressed the hope that
the government would lose no time in giving
friendly advice to the American belligcrents,
with the view of ending the bloody contest.
The London Times says The British Gov
ernment, a few days since, made, to the
two German powers, proposition which de-
prived them of every possible ground for
hostilities England offered to guarantee
the fuIfllment of the required conditions
and to embody German principles as to the
government of Schleswlg- Holstein in the
protocol to be signed by the signers of the
treaty of 1862. When, therefore, the troops
of the two German powers passed the Elder,
those governments knew that all they had
demanded had not only been conceded but
guaranteed by first rate power which had
been the chief adviser of Denmark and pos
sessed the power of enforcing its own opin-
ion. Can it then be SAID the war on which
they have entered is other than useless car
mage But, with the antagonism between
the Dane and German, heated by mutual
slaughter we have little hope that moderate
counsels will be listened to by either side"
MIsCELLANEoUs-A semi-olficial Vienna
paper expresses the hope that the explana-
ton just sent by Austria and Prussia to Eng
land will avoid all further complications
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says: {, At ball on the Sd, the Empe-
ror Napoleon said to group of Marshals and
Generals, 1t appears that they have begun
an exchange of cannon-shOt in the north
Let them 90 on 1t is no affair of ours. Our
policy should be -non-intervention.' Those
whom he addressed seemed to agree with
him"
New YoRK, Feb. "a.
The steamship Hecla, with two days later
news, has arrived.
Parliamentary news is unimportant
In Holstein, affairs are under the control of
the Germanic Diet. The rumor that Prussia
had positively declared it would respect the
integrity of Denmark is fully confirmed
The Danes had retreated from Schleswig,
evacuated Dannenkewerk, and blew up their
works at Messunde. The Germans followed
the Danes to Flensburg, when the latter re-
treated towards Dupple. Several severe en-
gagements had taken place, with considerable
losses on both sides. The Germans had Sc
cured great booty and a great number Of
prisoners.
According to some authorities, Dutch pos
session of Schleswig is ended. 1t is thought
the Danes will make a formidable stand at
Duppie, where they will be supported by their
feet Great excitement existed at Copen-
hagen caused by the Danish retreat. 1t Is re-
ported in Paris that the King Of Denmark
had embarked for England, and that the King
of Sweden had been proclaimed in his place.
English journals continue very anti-German.
