The Inst Intelligence which we have re-

Of 1lc Northern general for the moment, but
still more because it proves him to be capa-

The first European item Of any import |

the pro1engation Of the aruisfice In the !

days. The PEussian Monitfur while making |
known the official acceptance Of this step bY !
its government, adds significantly, that tue |
.6tA Of June Is the Presumed date for the |
commencement OF hosti|lrlcs. The general
impression which now prevails, is that either |
further concessions will be made to Germany,
to which Denmark will be induced to yield, I
and thus be sacrificed d1plom ltlcally, or that |
Tie Danes will refuse oostinately to yield, in |
