THE GERMAN FEDERAL TROOPS ON THEIR
MARCH.
| HAMBURG, Thursday, Dec. 1.-THE Fed
eral troops have commenced their march,
and are approaching the frontiers OF Hol-
stein and Lauenburg from all sides. The
Hanoverans, after being reviewed by their
King and exhorted by him to uphold their
well-earued fame, are massed at Harburg
and other places on the opposite sideofthe FL

(blacl., red and gold cockade, but King
Johann has since thought proper to annul
the order. They have passed Madgeburg,
and will leave the railroad carriages III
Mecklenburg and march into Lauenburg
on foot. The march of the Austrians will
be more quiet, as the Schleswig Holstein

+, the Danes make any resistance.
In order to be prepared for the arrival
and due housing of troops i'll this city a
commission has been appointed. The first
step was public invitation to those IN
clined to receive troops in their houses 10
send in their addresses, and the number o!
men they were prepared to accommodate,
but the remuneration offered twelve shl-
llings currency per diem) was deemed SO
unsatisfactory that but very few responded
to the summons, so that it was found ab-
soiute.y needful to raise the price offer
cd from twelve 10 sixteen shillings. This
succeeded better, and there are now quar-
ters ready and disposabe for 5000 men,
which will nearly cover the Austrans an
nounced, and the rest viii be billeted in the
Surrounding villages.

much to remove his headquarters al4d pro
j visional seat of Government to this city-a
proposal, however, that was fortunately

Austria and Prussia. He now talks of re.
moving to Brunswick.
Gen. Fleury, Master Of the Horse to the
Emperor Of the French, passed through
this city yesterday on special mission to
the King of Denmark.

that the Danish troops in Altoona, and 9TH

to retreat on the approach of the Federal
troops, in a peaceable manner. and without
any hostile demonstrations.-Cbr. london
