Summary of European News.

summary of the Virginia's news, which left
Liverpool, Feb. I'd, Marahal Wrangel on the
Slst of January commanded the Danes to
evacuate Schleswig forthwith, Gen. Damega
refused, whereupon the Prussians passed the
frontier, and shots were exchanged without
effect. The Danes retreated after blowing
up a large bridge. The Prussians on the LIST
of February advanced to Gettorf and Eckin-
forde, establishing their headquarters at Get
tori. The Danish ships at Eckinforde after
exchanging shots with the Prussians sailed
away. The entire strio-Prussian cavalry
entered Schleswig through Reudsburg on

pressing forward. The London Morning

but believes that the German Powers profess
to enter Schleswig not with the intention of
dismembering Denmark, but only to seize
material guarantee for the performance of
engagements. The Post says England is in
honor bound to furnish material support to
Denmark.
