no authority, II grave charge, backed only
by the supposition o. surgeon who

statements are apparently maiclously
false Clark was not IL native of this

in the statement that his removal was solely

denmark can place an army Of about
so 900 men in the field on the commence
ment Of hostilities The forces of the
kingdom, under the new organization,
comprise 20 battaions Of infantry of the
line, with 10 of reserve : regiments of
cavalry each with > squadrons active and
2 depots, and . regiments Of artillery in
~ batteries. The total strength of the
army, exclusive of the reserve, is 36.7S2
rank and file, with 1868 officers, on the
peace footing, and 1925 rank and file,
with 1928 officers, on the war footing. A
CONSUMPTION law is in force, and all able
bodied young men who have reached the
age of Il years are liable to serve some
years, and be ready when called upon in
time of war.
The Danish navy is very small, and is
manned by about 1900 men. 1t comprises
6 iron-clads, IL unarmed steamships, car

SoMBoDy LIES. According to telegraph
reports, France denies the authorship Of
the "Secret Treaty." and Prussia also
disowns it. The French assert that il
sprang from the fertile brain of Bis
marck, and the Prussians insist that the
original was in Count Benedetti's own
handwriting. In the present condition
of affairs both nations are not inclined to
rouse the British lion by admitting its
parentage. England will not rest con.
tented with these evasions, and it is evident
that the British Ministry will be forced
by public sentiment to make an explicit
demand upon both Governments for full
and explicit details.

that the treaty published with such an
immense parade by the London Times is
document some years old, which was
considered by France and Prussia at the
time the latter power was about to meas
ure swords with Austria, and that it was
mutually agreed at that time. Who the
author of the treaty really was, whether
Napolean or Bismarck does not appear,
but its publication now is supposed for a
certain purpose. England was furnished
confdentially with copy at the time ofthe
Austrian difficulty, and it is believed that
Earl Granville supplied the document to
Mr.. Delano of the London Times for the
purpose of firing the British heart, and in
that way getting up war fever against
against France to furnish an excsue for
intervening in Continental matters. De-
lano is said to be very intimate with Earl
Granville, as he was likewise with the
late Lord Clarendon, at whose place he
used to spend great deal of his time
Clarendon is known to have used the
Times newspaper for similar purposes Or
whenever he desired to feel the British
pulse in extraordinary emergencies
Therefore it is asserted that Granville is
the real prompter at the bottom of the
whole business. He it is said to have
given the treaty to the Times, although
it is now his little game to simulate great
surprise and indignation.
