FoRErGN NEWS The steamer Hecla and
Citv of London, have arrived at New York
bringing European advices to the 1lth which
are Of much importance so tar as Denmark IS
concerned. The war against Denmark mas
been prosecuted with extraordinary vlsor by
the confined forces Of Austria and Prussia,
and after several severe engagements the Danes
were obliged to abandon their first line of de-
fence and fall back to Duppel. They have
abandoned the Dannewerke, evacuated Flens-
burg and have blown up the works at Missunde
and unless there is some sudden turn In fortune
for King Christian the indication are he will
have to succumb to the tremendous outside
PRESSURE that is brought to bear upon him.
The surrender of the Dannewerke was bad
military blunder, it is now clearly seen, and the
subsequent disasters which have overtaken the
Danish army are some of It's bitter and fore
seen fruits. The Danish Parliament has met,
and instead of making the concessions demand
ed by the German Powers voted an address to
the army announcing determination to prose
cute the war The Cabinet Of Vienna met on
9Th instant and determined that the London
protocol cannot be preserved by Austria as
basis of negotiations between the great Powers.
1t is said that great dissatisfaction prevailed at
Copenhagen, and that the popular indignation
against the Genera! who gave up the Dame
werke has been directed against the King
himself. There seems TO be no probability that
England is going to interfere, the debates IN
Parliament and the tone of the leading Minis
terial journal, much as they may show sem
timent in favor of Denmark, afording no war
rant that that sentiment can be worked up to
active intervention. The London Morning
Post states that an informal suspension OF hos
tilities had taken place, and adds, that the time
had arrived for the basis Of an arrangement
to be discussed On the other hand, the
Morning Herald declares that as Austria and
Prussia had repudiated the treaty OF London,
a general war could hardly be avoided.
Earl Russell has stated in the House OF Lords
that Mr. Adams thought it prudent to with

for indemnity for the Alabama's doings.
Lord Palmerston has been cleared Of ell sus-
picion in the O'Kane scan lal case. the suit

A correspondent of the Baltimore american,
writing from Point Lookout, May LIST, says
During the past week We were crowded with
refugees and contrabands, the fol mer on their
way from the different States South and the
latter from the counties Of Virginia bordering
on the Potomac river. Among the refugees
lately arrived are number Of intelligent Ger
mans. One family Is from Macon, Georgia,
which place they left on the 10th of April.
They reached Richmond with the greatest diff
Guilty, and could only get to come by railroad
through bribing the conductors Of the trains.
The cars being used to transport troops TO
Richmond, and Lees army at Richmond, they
had to secure the services of a lawyer, and at
the cost of - 900 in Confederate money thus
procured pass signed by Gen. Wlnder allow
| ing them to proceed to Warsaw, some twenty
miles beyond the Potomac, from whence, after
much toll and exertion, they succeeded In reach
ing this place.
The refugees represent times as extremely
hard at the South; goods very high, cheap
enough for the coin, but high for Confederate
money. They represent that Lee is masslng a
tremendous army on the Rapidan, and think
that he Is determined to stake the Confederacy
on one terrific conflict, and 10 this end il
scraping all the men that are able to handle a
musket at once to this point They think
| should he he compelled TO give up Richmond
all will be lost, and the only hope that the in.
telligent men Of the South have Is to defeat
Grant, and by the aid Of their friends at the
North secure man at the head of the Govern
ment who will acknowledge their lndepend-
enee. Hence, they think II they can only de-
feat Grant, public opinion will at once take a
turn In the North that will bring about The
above result.

WEDNESDAY, May 4, 1884.
Mr.. Grimes called attention TO the fact that
the bill ito amend an act 10 incorporate the
inhabitants of the city Of Washington" was
in a suspended state before the Senate. Il has
been passed by the House and passed here at
tho Instance OF the city authorities, but the
Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Halo had
moved q reconsideration Of the vote, and he
desired to know whether the Senator intended
10 pass or withdraw that motion.
Mr.. Hale explained that he had made the
motion for reconsideration at the Instance OF
some citizens, who did not think II q sufficient
bill for efiecting the purposes intended-that is
sewerage and paving and he had introduced
another bill since prepared In the city, for the
like purposes. He did not profess TO be per
sonally competent TO instruct the Senate In the
matter. .s ........ f.rH
Mr.. Grimes admitted Il was not as complete
q bill as some citizens desired, but It does not
preclude the passage Of still another bill on the
subject. The bill introduced by the gentleman
is now before the District Committee, and they
are yet considering II.
The question was then taken en- reconsider.
ing the vote on the bill, and II was ncgatlved.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr.. Farnsworth, Of Illinois, asked leave to
offer a resolution, calling upon the Secretary
Of the Treasury 10 inform the House whether
a man is employed in the Treasury Depart.
ment as a clerk or assistant register by the
name Of Garnett; and whether said Garnett did
not hold position In the rebel army, and was
not prisoner In the Old Capitol, and who rec
commended him for Office.
Mr.. Fenton suggested that the resolution b
referred TO the committee now examining int
the affairs Of the Treasury Department.
Objection was made TO the resolution; ant
so II goes over.
On motion Of Mr.. Stevens, the House con
sidered, In committee, the bill making apppo
prlations for fortincations; and having mad,
two amendments, 1t was passed.

Long Deserved and wsll-Merited Promo
lion to the rank OF Brigadier General.

At the earnest request OF Major Generals Grant,
sherman, Hurlbut, and others, we are glad TO
learn that Col Edward Hatch, Of the gallant I'd
Iowa cavalry, has been promoted to 4 BrigAdier
General. His long continued success while In
command OF brigade and division, for more than
year past, attracted the attention Of all the COM
nSnding Generals of Tennessee. Up to the battle
Of the 4th Of December, In which he was severely
wounded, he was . terror TO the rebel Generals
Forrest and Chalmers whom he had so often met
and defeated. General Hurlbut, in his letter to
the President, said; He was the best cavalry
ofieer he had ever met wlth-hAd done much
effective service since the commencement of the
war as any officer Of the army, and that his pro-
motion would be a marked teafmony to uniform
good conduct and gallAntryj that he had been con-
stantly and actively In the field, and for six
months past, II had been almost q succession Of
battles and skirmishos. The special report OF the

tious, attentive, and IApid In business; an officer
OF daring, dash and ability In the field. He COM
bines, in an eminent degree, the qualities that
make the ofieer and gentleman, and had never
been off duty single day by sickness, leave or
otherwise, and, though thorough disclplinarian,
IL the pride and favorite of the whole command"

Of him and his brave regiment. Such has been the
perfection and the honorable position the Second
Iowa cavalry attained that all vacancies by death

General Hatch, with his command always proved
more than match for the rebels Forrest and
Chalmers, and when he iS again able to take the
field, he will command by his daring dash and
ability the attention OF the public and his numer
ous friends. He iS the son OF Nathaniel Hatch
Esq, of this city, formerly OF Maine.
We have seen copies OF some OF the evidence ir
favor Of tho promotion Of Col. Hatch, and It fur

two commendatory letters from Major General s
A. Hurlbut to President Lincoln, one from Msjo
General W. T. Sherman, and an extract from th'
special report OF cavalry division of the I6th ArmI
CorpS. General Grant also recommended Colone
Hatch in terms OF high praise.
