DENMARK RELATIONS TO ScHLEswIa. The
Prussia, by which the latter acquired posses
sion Of Scheswig, is narrated in one Of our
letters from Copenhagen to-day, and is clear
account Of the present trouble. The second
letter describes tho harsh nature of
German rule, the attachment Of the
people Of North Schleswig TO Denmark, and
strongly indicates the necessity of faithful
observation of the treaty obligations Our
correspondent has unusually good opportu-
mites Of knowing the purposes q the Danish
government upon thus question, and it is
almost as sure that Denmark will insist Upon
the control of North Schloswig as that she
will never consent TO surrender her inde-
pendcnce by incorporation in the German
Bund.
