The War I'm Europe.

The New York Herald says Our latest
advices from Europe 60 to show that a
strong effort will be made by the great
Powers to put stop to the war between
the Danes and the German allies. 1t was
thought that the retreat of the Danes from
Framework was not 50 much from strategic

that England had counselled this move
ment that the Germans might be led 10 &C
cupy Sehleswig-a proceeding clearly in
violation of the treaty OF London, and
giving to France. England and Russia the
Iigh' to protest or interfere. The course
pursued by the English government swould
tend to confirm these suggestions.
The Danes were at last accounts strongly
posted at Duppel Heights, and had net as
yet been attacked by the German troops
The delay which it was thought would &c.

This uniailiDg index Of the Yankee war pulse
continues TO go upward, and as it gets higher
the gradation In the ascending scale necessarily
becomes more rapid. When the premium on
gold rose to loo-that is to say when gold sold
ut e9O-it reduced the value of the greeuback
dollar to fifty cents. If the premium were to
reach another hundred, it would reduce the
paper dollar to thrty-three and n third cents,
and an additional hundred would bring it down
to twenty-five cents It is thus sec Il that as
the premium rises, the same increase per cent
has less effect in rcducing the value of the
paper dollar. The first hundred of premium
reduces the paper. dollar ala average of half
cent Tor each ono per cent OF premium the
second hundred further reduces IL one-sixth of
n cent for each one per cent; the third hun.
dred reduces one.tweifth of a cent Tor each
one per cent. the next hundred would reduce
It onetwentieth Of a cent, in the same way !;
and SO forth. 1t should not be a matter oi
surprise, therefore, that when the premium is
high, it changes by large figures for It requires
large figures to- make any sppreciable change

from alt accounts it appears that the former,
after having illuminated the seas with the cor
fagraton Of the enemy's ships, ended singu.
lariy adventurous and successful career in the
most gallant manner. The toOe of the British
and French journals are strongly favorable to
the gallant Capt. Senmes and his crew. Even
the Journals most bitterly prejudiced against
the Confederate cause are forced to award
praise To Capt Semmes for his distinguished
