Queen OF Spain, announcing the marriage of

POLAND.
General Berg issued an order that insur-
gents voluntarily surrendering with their arms

Those surrendering without arms to be set

Schtestctg, llM. 1t is stated that the Danes
have evacuated the works at Duppel, and en-
barked their stores and war material at Alison,
New Zealand.
Gen. Cameron had made successful attack
on the Maories in New Zealand annihilating
the tribe OF Njakeana, the most powerful tribe
in the country South Of Auckland, killing one
hundred and capturing two hundred, being
nearly all the fighting men of the tribe. Brit
ish loss thirty-flve killed, ninety three wound
ed.
The Times in leader regrets the heavy
loss, although the results were important, and
so much so that the leading man among the
natives, William Thompson, wished to offer
his submission to the General Immediately
after the struggle and was only prevented by
the determination of his few remaining fol-
lowers.
The Post understands that the English Gov
ernment has proposed an armistice to the bel
ligerants on the basis of the evacuation Of
Scheswig, with the exception of the Island Of
Aslon by the Danes. This suggestion has met
with the support of France, Russia and Swe-
den, and it is put forward as preliminary to
conference which, it is hoped will finally dis
pose OF the long vexed question Of the Ouch
les.
Inc LINES city artlcle says. w neither the
alteration in the bank rates will be more per-
manent than the last similar reduction on the
oath Dec, and which was found necessary to
retrace within three or four weeks, must be a
doubtful question. The probability is, if the
war symptoms thicken the contraction that
will occur especially in the German trade,
coupled with the withdrawal of credit and the
exercise of general prudence, may cause fur
ther diminution of the pressure to be wit
messed. Some of the letters from Germany
to-day state that an increased sense OF the in
ternal complication and external dangers into
which the country may be driven by its pres
ent course is beginning in several quarters to
be manifested.
