--- THE VERY LATEST.
LONDON, January 19.-The London
Times city article says the summary no
tifoation sent to Denmark by Austria and
Prussia for the withdrawal of the obnox-
iOus Constitution on pain of an immedi-
ate occupation of Schleswig, produced a
further depression in all the markets yes
terday, which was aggravated by the in
creasing intensity of the drain of gold
from the Bank of France and the prOba-
bility that its action on this side may ia
duce an early return of the rate Of dis
count to 8 per cent. ...er.r
In foreign securities there was again ex-.
treme uneasiness and Government bonds
experienced further fall of about Il per
cent. About e35, 900 was taken from the
Bank of England for France, and 10000
sovereigns for Alexandria.
About 100000 held in private hands
was also transmitted to Paris. The daily
Ne1os' city article says, Paris adVices state
the application for the new French Gov
ernment loan Of 9l2,OOOOO0, the lists of
which were opened yesterday, are expected
to reach an astounding total According
to the belief Of come, an aggregate of
e160, 100000 sterling will be reached, be-
ing more than thirteen times the amount
of the stock offered
The Post says: The Austrian and Prus-
sian Representatives will doubtless quit
Copenhagen, and war may be formally de-
clared, but it is still possible that active
hostilities may not Immediately follow
Neither Austria nor Russia can possibly
wish for serious war with Denmark. and
we suspect their present policy, however
dangerous, is pursued from the sole desire,
in consequence Of the defeat in the diet,
to become, so far as regards other powers,
the masters of the present 81; ;uation.
The allied powers of Austria and Prus-
sia, on the one side, and Denmark on the /
other, would be the belligereut parties,
and the German Confederation, that is to
say, the minor German powers, would no
longer have a right to interfere in the
pending dispute. Austria and Prussia
would be the sole arbiters of the condi-
tons on which they would be willing to
conclude peace.
