The Fall Of DuPpeI.

The great Dsnish fortress of Duppel, the
siege of which by the Prussisn troops be-
gan in February last, has fallen into the
hands Of the besiegers. The Danish gar
rison Of tWenty-six hundred men, with
ninety guns, have fallen into the hands Of
the Prussians, and the Prussisn loss in the
assault is set down at six hundred pri-
Yates and sixty officers. The bombsrdment
Of this stronghold has been going on
steadily since its investment, without very
great loss Of life. The Prussisns made
two assaults upon the works, and the Dan
ish troops made several brave sorties upon
the enemy's lines. The fall Of the place,
under the circumstances Of the siege, was
inevitable; but it was supposed that the
Danes would evacuste it at the last mo-
ment, and cross the Sound on their pom
toons to the Island Of Alsen. The assault
Of the Prussisns doubtless prevented this.
The Allies have now only to take Alsen to
make themselves masters Of the whole Of
SohiesWig; and we have dispatch that
this has been effected, but its authenticity
is doubtful.
There we're immense rejoioings and IL
luminstions in Prussia over this victory,
and the King sent the following rather
loud dispatch to Prince Frederick Charles,
commanding the Prussian troops;
"Next to the Lord Of Hosts, have 10
thank my splendid army and the leader
ship for the glorious victory Of this day.
Express to the troops my highest scknowI-
sdgment and my royal thanks for their
performances"
This result just preceding the meeting
Of the London Conference on the Danish
question. will greatly tend to simplify its
extraordinarily r Times.
