    i , THE WAR IN _SCHLESWIG HOLSTElN . " fRKXDSBOBH , Jtoy 31 . —The head-quarters of "" General 'Wulisen have been . _bere for two or three " _-ibys , though the main body is in position some miles to the northward , and the avant-guard still ' remaias * ia Schestedt and the heigbbautho ' od . Having ar-3 _« _d here late oa Monday night , I made it my biisi--.. _" aess yesterday , to visit the several places ai which : the army is encamped , in order to judge of its con-- _'difion and feeling from personal _observation . I " yesterday visited _different localities , some , in . tais 'immediate neighbourhood , others at a _greaUrrhs" tance ; but , putting all together , 1 believe I saw np-: wards Of eighteen thousand men , and in not a swgjo ' . battaliott did I perceive the slightest tjace ofdiscou-Viagement or want of confidence , even in Wj" _" * lions which sintered most on Thursday last une oi _UOUS _waica . _suuereu iuua » « " - ~ _i flip field entered the fidd

The exception is an unfortunate one , hat it is not without a remedy . It is tbe paucity of officers . Several corps of from 900 to 1 , 300 men have at this moment not more than six or seven officers . The remedy , however , is at hand . Applications are daily being made from officers from various parts of Germany , whose devotion to the cause of tbeir country and a sincere appreciation of its justice has led tbem to abandon their former

    _S £ mC £ a Tbe tovrn of Rendsburg presents a scene of great bustle and activity . In and about the fortifications there are encamped and quartered about 5 , 000 men . "Without the fortifications large bodies of men are busy throwing up field-works levelling hedges and other necessary operations . At some distance to the east and west of the town are the camps of several battalions , the white tents of which bave a greater reality of war than the snug green huts in which the _Jnea honied in ths woods of Idstedt , Rendsburg is very strongly fortified , and would ' be able to stand a long siege should the fortune of _war bring the "Danish annv further south . f

    "When the Danes , advanced into flensburg it was expected , and indeed in fact announced by _theDanish general , that the inhabitants would be well treated , and that none should he imprisoned or sent off to Copenhagen . The expectations hare not been fulfilled , aad the promises made have been broken . "Wherever they can lay their hands on an unfortunate official of the Stat _tnaUerscaaft _, or a prisoner whose German tendencies are known , the harshest measures are instantly adopted . 'Without a moment ' s warning these nnhapjjy individuals are seized , handcuffed , and hurried off to Copenhagen . Even old men , ffomen , and childrenrate not respected . Among the prisoners carried into Flensburg is an old man of

    seventy-three , and a young girl of twelve . The former is accused of baring shot General Schleppegrell , and the latter of being sister to a yonng man who guided a party of Schleswig-Holstein dragoons through a moor a day- or two before the battle of Idstedt , Though the accusation in the latter case may be true , it does not justify so . barbarous a measure ; in tbe former it is utterly unfounded . The Danish report of the battle , which you will have seen a day or two ago in the Hamburgh journals , asserts that in the attack on Oherstolk the brigade under the command of tbe fallen general was suddenly , at * tacked from the cover of the houses by a 1 , 000 riflemen and peasantry . If true , it wonld not he to the

    honour of the Dane 3 that a whole brigade shonld be repulsed by 1 , 000 men , a greater portion of which were undisciplined ; hut , singularly enough , there is not one ¦ word of truthin the whole story . First of all , there was not one ofthe inhabitants remaining in tbe village in question hut a frantic mother with a child five weeks old in her arms , who were placed hi safety by one of tbe officers of the four battalion of rifles and secondly , the mist and rain which prevailed so completely interrupted the sight , that the two hostile brigades crossed each other , the one under General Horst and the otber under General Schlep pegrell . After a murderous struggle , in "which the latter officer and many or his comrades fell , the

    advances body of the Danish brigade was completely routed , and a couple of hundred prisoners were made . Not a single fanner took part in the conflict . The Danes , however , bave seized twelve of the largest farmers in the village one of whom they assert is the murderer of the deceased general , and the Danish commander-in-chief has ordered them to be tried by court-martial . If the Danes expect by snch measures to terrify the inhabitants in other parts of the duchies , they are woefully mistaken . On all sides , nothing bnt the bitterness hatred and desire for revenge are generated by such unseemly and unjustifiable conduct . I could narrate a hundred instances of cruelty of a different

    land ; let one suffice . The widow o an officer who fell on Thursday last at Idstedt , and was buried during the battle , ventured from Kiel to Scbleswig , hi the anxiety of ber widowed heart ,. to recover the remains of her husband , and give them Christian burial . Will it he credited , that on applying at head quarters , ber simple and touching request was not only rudely refused , but the man servant who accompanied her was maltreated ? And tbis in the face oftwo hundred of their own wounded lying in the Chateau of Gottorf , having " been carefully brought in and attended by the Schleswig-Holstein surgeons , and therefore so many living testimonials of the humanity and kindliness of their opponents .

    "When the Danes entered Eckernforde tbey obtained aa opportunity of humiliating Prussia , which tbey bave not failed to take advantage of . The _Gefion frigate , captured last year , lies in port there with a garrison of 100 Prussian soldiers on board . _"When the Danish advanced posts entered tbe port the German national colours were hoisted hy the military lubbers on board ; this displeased the Danes , and tbe Prussian colours were substituted . Since then , I believe yesterday morning , orders were sent from Schleswig requiring tbe Prussian colours to bs taken down , and a white flag hoisted in their place . The officer in command appears to have complied with this request without _hesitation , for tbe flag of unspotted neutrality now flies on board the Gefion .

    A slight engagement between the outposts took place yesterday afternoon close to Wohlde , a small village to the past of Freidrichstadt , without much loss to either side . Sixteen officers bave arrived _eince yesterday witb offers of service . The following _i 3 from the correspondence ofthe 'Times ' : — ' Hamburgh , Aug . 1 . —There are now in the town of Altona alone , according to pnblic admission , the number of 1 , 000 wounded men , the victims of the . operations in Schleswig during tbe short period of one week ; but if the truth were known , tbis number falls short of the real amount , and another 500 may ,, without any fear of contradiction , be added to the above , besides avast portion of sick- This number only includes the _aughtly _wonndsd—those -who have been able to reach the

    Altona hospitals from the field of battle . Another lot , again , are in the hospitals of Hendsburgh and Kiel , and some more have been left behind in care of tbe enemy . Shonld it ) therefore , turn ont in the end true that there were found iu the hospitals in the town of Schleswig 2 , 000 sick and wounded , the loss snffered by the Schleswig-Holstein army must have been considerably greater than has been hitherto supposed . A great number of officers from all parts of Germany bave arrived and gone down to Kendsbnrg , the _Holstein head quarters , and among them five of Jhe Hanseatie Legion of the garrison of this city . The senate having refused them leave of absence , they resigned their

    commissions . I hear that many Prussians who had only a leave of about she . weeks granted to them bave been refused by Willisen . From all sides I hear of the arrival of these gentlemen patriots in this city , en route to _Kendsbnig . From , various places in the interior large sums of money have been _anneunced in the papers as having been sent to Kiel in support of the cause . Among these may he named Leipsic , 2 , 000 thalers * , Oldenburg , a second sum of 2 , 000 thalers ; Harburg , 600 thalers ; Bremen , 5 , 000 marks banco ; Frankfort , 3 , 000 ditto ; Augsburg , 1 , 791 florins j Brunswick , 3 , 000 marks banco ; and some Germans from Yorkshire the sum of £ 51 ; from other pieces equally large or smaller sums .

    _Rentjsburg , Aug . 2 . —In my last letter I described the results of a tour of inspection through several of the baUalions of the Schleswig-Holstein army . In the course of yesterday I extended my rente , and ventured over to the Witten See and Sehestedt , where tbe outposts of the army are located .

    . . _ . .. . , ... , , * " From all parts of th ? Duchies men of all ages , men exempt from ' military duty , are hurrying to Rendsburg to enrol themselves in the ranks of the patriotic army- The students of Kiel have long , ago become soldiers ; several of their professors are now about to follow their , example . Lawyers and government officials are laying down-the pen ; the far _me r his ploughshare , and the labourer bis flail , to assume the musket and the sword . At the present ' moment the army is stronger by a few hundreds of men already disciplined and organised ' , than it was on the morning of the 25 th f ult ., while the reserve brigade , of

    recruits is even ; , more numerous , and will be still larger in . a few-days . 1 have remarked , too , with some astonishment the great willingness , nay , cheerfulness , with which tbe thousand and more peasantry whose carts have been pot in requisition , perform tbe unpleasant duty assigned to them , at . ' a' moment , too , when ,, their presence at home and in their fields is of the greatest importance The Danes will not he able to subdue such a people without enormous exertions , and if their next victory be attended wiih equal loss to that of Idstedt , General Krogh , may me inclined to exclaim , 'Another such victory , and I am lost 1 '

    Later News . — A telegraphic dispatch , dated Rendsburgb , August 2 , states tliat General Willisen has issued a new proclamation to the army . The general ' announces that the extensive defensive works at Bendshurgh will be completed in a few days , and anticipates that , since the . enemy-only succeeded in winning his smell advantages with _areat loss , be will not seek the Schleswig' arm in its present entrenchments . It becomes now certain from-this dispatch that the _Statthalterscbaft have resolved ., not to renew the warby , offensive operations until the complete re-organisation of the army .. ., ' . ' , .: - ,. ' : > . _'¦ _- .: ; Just as the , above communication was leaving Rendsburg intelligence arrived of a - 'skirmish of out-posts at Breckendorf ,. midway between tbe head-quarters and the city of'Schleswig .

    The Duchies ' army is getting daily , reinforcements . . The Hanoverian government . have given leave of ., absence to a vast number of tbeir [ ipV . diers , who are arriving in large numbers to jou ) the army ? at Rendsburgb . Travellers from _Copenihagen were reporting at Harabnrg on-the 5 th ; that the guns of a battering train : were brought thither in Russian vessels . Heinrich von Gagernj the chief of the Gotha party , has entered the Schleswig army as a major .

    FRANCE . On Thursday all the newspapers made their' ap : pearance with the stamp , for the first time . . Se ; veral administrations have suppressed the : numbers which were distributed gratuitously to public officers and private persons . . : ¦ _¦; The director of the ' _Narbonnais / a Conservative paper of Narbonne , announces that in consequence of the stamp duty imposed by tbe late law on the press the paper can no longer appear . ' The National Guard of Saulieu bas been . disbanded and disarmed . The ' Democratique du Var _, ' prosecuted for , a seditious libel , has been acquitted for the 17 th time . A private of the 56 th Regiment of the Line was sentenced to death by a * court-martial in Paris on Thursday , forhaving struck his superior officer .

    The following are the mam _^ features in the new bill on the _organisalionof the National Guard : Complete _cbntrolis given to thef executive ' . over the hommatien of the conseM de recensement _.-. This council is io [ be composed of members appointed by the sub-prefect , half in tbe municipcl council , half among toe National Guards , in number equal to the half of the number ofthe municipal council . The revising juries do not preserve tbeir jurisdiction relative to the appeals against the elections , of officers , whinh are now tobe carried before , the councils of

    prefecture . . . The bill suppresses the cavalry , and restricts the corps . of . ' sapeurs pompiers , ' , of artillery and marine within narrow limits . These corps cannot be assembled in battalion or legion ' and are placed under the orders of the commander of the communal , ' or cantonal circumscription . A minimum of votes is fixed for the election , of f officers . The votes of half the National Guards inscribed are necessary for the election of superior officers , and the third for other officers . ' Moreover _. for the election of-superior . officers , the bill introduces a double system of alectiou , by the formation : of a college of delegates of the . companies , composed of half officers and half of National Guards elected for this object . The adjournment of the reorganisation of the dissolved National Guards is fixed for two year ' s instead of one . -

    The growing' differences between the moderate and extreme _ egttirnist 8 have ; it seems , determined M . Berryer to ' repair to Wiesbadehi in , the hope o ; recovering at the bands of his master sufficient an thhrity to keep , the mutinous and impatient spiri of his party in due subordination . The great _ques tion on which the two factions split is' the amountof support to he given to the President . The Ultras bave thrown themselves into decided opposition _,, while the Moderates pull pretty well with the government . Tbe Ultras fear the ambition of the President more ; than the . agitation of the " Socialists . . , Tie Moderates hold it essential to support and'strengtben the ' President , in . order to keep down the Reds ; Hence they voted the dotation and the electoral law , both of _whichmeasores are deeply regretted by the JeuneBroite . -: "¦ _¦"•' ' • • ' '¦ '' " ' . ¦ _.- •' . _- ¦ _';¦ ¦¦ - ' -

    Some disturbances took place at Marseilles on the 31 st of _Jnlyj and are thus described in the local journal of the . _lst inst . _;~ ' Our city ; witnessed yesterday an imposing manifestation against the sanitary measures adopted by the government , in which citizens of all classes participated . ' At half-past three o ' clock ; immediately after the close of the Bourse , a number of merchants repaired to the Prefecture to demand the withdrawal Of the decreeby whicli the members' of the Sanitary Board were superseded in their functions and

    replaced by . an Extraordinary Commissioner . They , were joined on their way by other citizens , and the column might . amount to abont 2 , 000 persons'wheu they reached the Prefecture . They entered the building without opposition , and soon filled'the Court , the staircase , and conidors . M . Duho ' yer _, the Secretary-General , acting ad interim as prefect , appeared at the balcony and harangued the crowd . At the same time that he blamed the irregularity of the manifestation , be declared that the authorities would take into serious consideration the wishes of

    the population . The noise , however , prevented us from completely seizing the tendency of his speech . Long pourparlers then took place , but as it was found difficult to arrive at an understanding a citizen at last demanded what the authorities intended to do . General Denis , who commands the military division in the place of General . Carrelet , now engaged in inspecting tbe troops of the different garrisons under his orders , returned an angry reply to _^ 'interpellation of wihch he evidently mistook the meaning and object and retired in a state of visible irritation . Those dispositions of the general produced

    an unfavourable impression on the crowd , who , perceiving that their pacific demonstrations was badly interpreted , loudly expressed their discontent . Shortly afterwards a detachment of troops of the line debouched from ' the Rue de Paradis , and drew np across the Rue Mazade . Although the Prefecture bad been partly evacuated by the people _i numerous groups , nevertheless , continued to crowd round the hotel . A few moments afterwards arrived the Mayor of Marseilles , M . de Chanterac , who succeeded in allaying the pnblic effervescence by a few re assuring words , and af declaration that the authorities : would not abandon in tbis circumstance

    , Tbese articles ; are . four .. in number .,.

' _-M-: < L {

    The fourth article is virtually the same as the one previously initialled . ' ' ¦ ' . [' ¦ _'• ' ; ' ' _., ; The protocol in this ¦ ' shape both Austria and Prussia have . ; refused ; to sign . ' The envoy of the former , power ; declared ' that he -would ' -refer the matter to his government . ; - yy • ¦¦ _; ¦<•• ; ( ; r Chevalier Bunsen did not limit' himself to a mere absence from , the conference .,-, He : _sent ; in on the mornin giof .

    With regard i p'the alterations , made _. _oetireen . ihe initialled document _^ of the 4 th of July , and that of Friday last ,, the latter ' bDly _' materially differedrfrqtn ' the first in so'far ' _as tlie proviso' iri the second article bearing on 'the relation ' s' of H 61 stein and' the _^ confederation was concerned / ' The assurance ' 'there given was in itself vague enough ' , but when coupled with the expression so often used of '' the integrity of . the :: Dani 8 h monarchy , ; ' it became : completely neutralised ;; fer Vwhat other ; inference ; ¦ could he drawn from that expression , -biit . tbat the duchies

    The case of Holstein with regard to Denmark , was exactly parallel ; a new dynasty having no right of succession in the Duchy , could not be allowed to rule over Holstein . Yet . it was in the face of this positive state of things , that the powers talked of the integrity of the Danish _^ mbnarchy . !¦ It could not but be borne in mind , _^ furtber , that the treaty of peace ' ; concluded at Berlin was quite suffic | _ent to regulate the . future ; mareb . of events , and' rendered quite superfluous the , participation , of th e _' powers ' in any prbfo ' coi ' like ihe' present ..
