DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Advice: have been received from Hamburgh to the Ist October. At that date Friedrichstadt still held the losses of out, and it was said that the Danes were sending reinforcements to that garrison. It was also rumoured that the Danes had regained possession of Tonningen. Sept. 30, No details have been published as to must have been very great. A correspondent of the details of the attack on Nordeutsche Frei Presse, under the head Rendsburgh, Friedrichatadt :-..." A successful military operation has begun on our left wing, and is about to be crowned with glorious results. Friedriehstadt, the key to the Western Marshes, has been closely invested by our troops 'after they had taken, the outer entrenchments; and the retreat of the garrison, then consisting of a battalion and a half and one battery, has been cut off, as well of the other corps in the Eiderstadt district; according to accounts, although not cflicial, our Yens command the roads to Busum and Sehleswi Totiniog is already in our hands, and Garding is deserted by the Daces' . "Oarmor ing began the attack gun-boats yesterday --u givesththeeSfeobilloewswinigg. on a Danish redoubt at Friedricbstadt. One of thee boats under Lieutenant Bulow ran aground, and could not be gut off. The others succeeded in dismounting the enemy's guns. By this we obtained possession of the second redoubt, and we have not nearer details. Our heavy artiller. y does not seem to have played yesterday. All our troops nought with the greatest bravery. Some of our pioneers were drowned. The few of our wounded have been taken to the Ditinursh district. Danish prisne rs, 57 and 20, were brought in here this morning from Thrialog. the Danish force there (33 men) fled or tell into our hands. Of the latter, three were wounded cffi cer—one captain,who could not be moved, and two lieutenants, one of whom was Licut; nant Wedel V. Wedelshorg."  Another account from Kiel admits that the position of Priedricbstadt had by nature and art been made very strong, and was protected by the By(kr, dikes, and ditches. the attack was to have begun sooner, but three of the only on the morning of Sunday the cannonading heavy guns could not be brought up, and began from the llohtein side of the river, from a battery posted opposite the, town on the height. The guns opposite to the Ferry House soon silenced the Danish battery there. The gun-boats materially  assisted in the combat. At length the attack commenced cn the east side. A Dcuish redoubt, situate the nearest to this side, was protected by a dyke. This dyke was to he filled up under heavy D.Afislt fire be&Jre the redoubt could be attacked. At length, after a time, this was effected, and then the palissding being destroyed, a part of the Ist Rifles and the sth Infantry attacked and carried the redoubt at the point of the bayonet. In the heat of the pu'rsuit, however, they then advanced against a second Danish redoubt, lying in the rear, and mounted with artillery, from which a murderous fire of grenades was opened on our troops, who were obliged to retire, and we hear lost from 50 to 60 killed and wounded.  According to this account the Schieswig-Holstein troops had advanced sufficiently near the town to exchange shots with the Danish riflemen.
