The week has been full of rumours connected with Schleswig-
Holstein, but as they contradict one another, they are scarcely worth discussion. The new facts embodied among them appear to be something like these. The King of Denmark offered to submit the question of withdrawing the Constitution to his Parliament, provided the allied Courts would suspend the advance of troops for five weeks. This demand was rejected, and tho Prussians appeared in Kid on the 25th inst., while the Austrians on Thursday were pouring through Hamburg in the same direction. On receipt of the German refusal the British Government applied to Paris, ask- ing whether the Emperor Napoleon intended to interfere, and were informed that, although disapproving the menaces addressed to Denmark, his Majesty was not at present prepared to intervene. Beyond this all is darkness, for though the balance of probabili- ties is in favour of the British Government taking up the quarrel, the statement that thirty thousand men have been warned for action rests on little or no foundation.
