The National Gazette of to-day publishes an
article in which it alludes to the statements Of
foreign journals, founded upon what it calls
sensational kilograms from Copenhagen, rel
alive to the existence of serious difficulties be-
tween Germany and Denmark.
The Gazette dwells upon the fact that the
Imperial Government endeavours In every way
to maintain friendly relations with Denmark,
and the Danish Government on its side has
given assurances that it was entirely a stranger
to the Press manoouvres emanating from
Copenhagen. The paper adds that the con-
tinuOus system Of agitation carried on by GER
tain Danish electors in North Sohleswig has
resulted in the expulsion of several Danes.
This measure was, however, not general, but
individual in its application, and could give
rise to no diplomatic negotiations, since it is
lawful for Germany to expel foreign subjects
from her territory even without giving any
reasons for such step.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. %.
Nothing has transpired in this city with re-
ference to the statement published by a London
evening paper to the effect that the Danish Gov.
eminent had ordered representations to be
made in Berlin respecting the expulsion OF
Danes from North Schleswig.

article to-day upon the Danish question, In
which it states that the totally unfounded ru-
mours relative to the existence of any Difficult
ties between Germany and Denmark have
solely originated with the English newspapers.
The Gazette points out that public opinion IN
Germany is DESTROYS that the Danish-speaking
inhabitants of Schleswig should be treated
with thorough Justice, consideration, and kind
ness also it is willing to allow them to retain
their language, although the German language
should by right be that Of the country. The
open opposition of Danes, who come into
Schleswig for the purpose of opposing the Ger
man rule and a~gitating for the reunion OF
North Schlesaig to Denmark, could, however,
not be permitted, and in this connexion the
Prussian officials were often too indulgent.
In conclusion, the paper dweIls upon the fact
that the wishes of Denmark respecting the
Sohleswig frontier question have hitherto failed
Of accomplishment because Denmark required
more than Germany could grant,
PARIS, Sept. %.
Some French newspapers publish intelligence
from ST.. Petersburg, confirming the news given
bv the TageS-PreSse of Vienna, that Prince
Bismarck has made overtures to the Cabinet of
Copenhagen with q view to cause Denmark ID
enter into the German Confederation, and that
KING Christian declined Prince Bismarck's
proposals, and communicated them to the
Russian Court. 1t is added that Russia felt
greatly irritated on receiving this intelligence,
and would never allow Germany to hold the
key to the Baltic. This incident is said to
have exercised great influence upon the policy
Of Russia with regard to Spain, and, Don Car
los having written to the Gar to thank him
for not having recognized Marshal sorranO's
Government, His Imperial Majesty sent an
immediate reply. The Emperor Alozander's
letter, which has recently been the topic of
discussion, is, according to this account, of
quite recent date, and was certainly written as
stated. It is declared to have produced 9
great sensation in Berlin.
