An Exchange of Prisoners.
Thirty-five thousand Union soldiers, im
prisoned at Andersonville, Ga., and sub
ject to a cruelty unsurpassed in its malig
ulty by any record of war, have petitioned
the President, through their appointed
commissioners, to procure their release
from unendurable suffering by means of
exchange. What these men undergo is
terrible—beyond the calculation of com
fortable citizens. Two-thirds of theni are
- wholly without shelter ; the food-given
them is adapted to produce titarva.
tiou and disease ; the water given them
creates thirst; their clothes are in rags and
Terrain; they are huddled together "thick
-as herrings packed in a barrel," and die at
the rate Of 180 per day. Numbers have
become crazed with their misery, and
, dozens are shot down weekly at the
"dead-line." Six thousand eight hun
dred and ninety of these brave and
'veteran soldiers haire died, by priva
tion and disease, in a period of five
months. These awful facts might be in
tredible to those who make it their task to
palliate and excuse the crimes of the rebel
Government, but this time there are thirty . -
five thousand witnesses, .a number too great
to be given the lie, and in a state too
pitiable; we think, to be mocked by the
callous insincerity of journalists who, in
their search to find argument for treason,
-occasionally stumble across a word of au
thority for murder and massacre. These
thirty-five thousand victims of rebel villainy
:are in a fair way to become numbered with
that hospital class who, when returned to
us, are too weak either to fight or vote.
The Northern enemies of the Government
may at least afford them the indulgence of
ylnpathy.
This last grand prison -act of the-rebellion
is a climax of the comparatively slOw but
efficient process of the torturing out of our
armies, begun at Libby. It is almost too
cruel for even the bitter jest. Given the
number of 40,000 men, and the rebels show
us how they day be reduced in less time
ao.i.Littakes, to kill them off in war. A
l i tal_y) comes out nine-
ton serving the rebels all -the , 15nrimeS
.of exchange. In, this • manner', they
demonstrate how an invader -may -be
used up by simply dieting out his prisoners,
and Southern hygiene achieves as great a
- victory as Southern arms. Had the North
resorted to the same method for depleting
- ita enemies, there is enough medical inge
ripity in our countrymen, Mild they adopt
- Count Fosco's idea of., the moral and poli
tical 'agency of poisons, to have made the
South sick of the war long ago. But we
have no moral necessity to poisOn our
vellq, to assassinate our enemies, or to
reduce their prisoners by the methods of
diet, velatilation, and water treatment prac
ticed 4n the prisons of the South. What
-ever be the color of private opinion enter
tained by the thirty-tire thousand prisoners
.of Andersonville, Georgia, it is too. much
to expect that they will forgive their ene
mies, or consent to a "peace upon any
;terms." Could they rejoin our armies be
fore the prison system, of the South de
•stroys their usefulness, their wrongs would
be a &SOW _reinforcement to the heroes
under GRANT and SHERMAST.
We hope something will be soon done to
'relieve the noble sufferers of Anderson-
Brave men deserve well even of
- their enemies, but we May expect nothing,
either in fairness or reason, from the insane
'turpitude of the wickedness of, the ruling
rebels. Only their hard necessities will
bring them to terms. The exchange
is `still at lock on the question of the
status of negro prisoners. No wonder
that. our white soldiers, starved and
diseased, at ..Andersonville, plead that
the slavery to :which the blacks are
,consigned on their capture is freedom and
happiness compared to the daily death en-.
dared in prison. We may doubt such a
plea, but we cannot dmibt its terrible cause.
Our captured soldiers, black and white, are
victims of great suffering, but each suffer
for each other. We trust that we are not
mistaken in the recent-signs of the Rich
mond press, promising a recognition of our
- negro prisoners to effect an exchange for
the benefit of the depleted armies of the
- South. That exchange will not, we hope,
be delayed - a'moment. We ,can imagine

The Moral of Politics. •
The affairs of Denmark have been ad
justed—precisely as if a highwayman who
called out Stand and deliver!" to a tra
veller, merely robbed him of his purse
and pocket-book, his watch and guard, his
diamond pin and carbuncle ring, and left
him the clothes he wore. Denmark has to
surrender a good deal to the brace of bri
gands (Austria and Prussia) who, had in
vaded, plundered, and ill-treated her. The
Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lau
enbourg, with a population of over a mil
lion of souls, are Surrendered to ruthless
Germany. The Alsen and islands in the
North Sea go with Schleswig, but Arro (or
(Faroe), which is purely Danish, remains
with Denmark, though by law of descent
it forms part of the Duchy of Schleswig.
The' future Denmark will consist of Jutland
and the larger islands, on one of which
Copenhagen, the capital, is built, and the
population will be reduced, by the
compulsory cessions we have men
tioned, from 2,605,000 persons to
1,500,000. In the new and diminished
Denmark the population will •be Danish,
who may be' relied upon. In the former
Denmark, the Germans in the Duchies
could scarcely be trusted with arms. The
Danish army, therefore, will not be much
weaker than before.. The navy will be as
`strong as it was. Denmark will' continue
master of the entrance to the Baltic Sea as
long as she holds the Sound and the Katte
gat. There has been some talk of a Schles
wig-Holstein canal, which, if made, would
reduce the northern access to the Baltic to
little value, but a long time will elapse•ere
that bb begun.
The future of the reduced Denmark may
resolve itself , into three contingencies :
1. Maintainance as a small but independent
monarchy. It is geographically larger than
;Belgium. 2. Absorption by the German
Confederation. 3 Annexation with Swe
den. At the best, under the collapse of her
naval and military Rrestige, there seems to
be a ;very poor outlook for Denmark. 'With
her people there is much sympathy, but we
confess that we feel little concern for her
sovereign. .A mere cadet (third brother of
li the reigning Duke) of the small branch of
the house of Holstein-Glucksbourg, the ac
cident of his siding with Denmark in 1848,
when his brothers went against her, led to
his having the good fortune, as it then
seemed, to be selected by the rulers who
signed the treaty of 1852 as successor to
Fnsnaiuc VII., King of Denmark. Be
fore that event in his life his income was
about $1,500 a year. One of his sons is
King of Greece ; his , eldest daughter is
Princess of Wales, and will be QAthen of
England, and, for himself, even if hLhas a
diminished Denmark to govern, is in
finitely larger than anything he was born
to. He seems to be a gentleman of no very
strong mind, but it is equally evident that
he has been badly used..
Had England but raised her voice, Den
mark would not havo been disintegrated.
Lord RUSSELL raised hopes that England
would insist on the treaty of 1852. being
rigidly observed, but when the time came
to act, his Lordship coolly said, :"I.will
write protocols and despatches, but must
decline what may lead to blows ; for the
new shave -penny 'policy of England is
Peace at all risks." It is said that he but
carried out the personal policy, of Queen
VICTORIA. It may be so ; but if ever, or
we should probably say, whenever Ireland
Is invaded, Queen VICTORIA may be re
minded, when she protests against that
fair island being wrenched from her
sway, "Madam, we do this precisely
on the principle, or want of principle,
which was manifested by yourself when
.
you stood 'calmly by and did not
raise even a finger to prevent the dismem
berment of Denmark. If the German Con
federation had a right to wrest the Duchies
from Denmark, surely Ireland has an
equal right 'to separate herself from the
yoke of England ?" This will return the
bitter chalice to her Majesty's own lips,
and men who are nowifar into "the fifties"
may live to witness such a consummation.
VICTORIA has given Ireland's friends a
.Strou: justification...of.4febtin! `dand's•
More Mexican than Spartan.
To judge from the general tenor of the
news current from Mexico, the patriotic
cause in that abandoned country has more
than begun to "dwindle, peak, and pine."
MAximILIAN is making his throne firm,
and extending the clearage of submission.
Several well-known generals on the Juarez
side are now reported as loyalists of the
Empire, -and the betrayal of the, :Liberal
cause seems to, ave become almost a mat
ter of fashion. A considerable army is
still attached to JuAnEz, which he:is now
endeavoring to. Concentrate and discipline
at Monterey. This army, hungry, insubor
dinate and disaffected, as it is-said to be, is
under command of ORTEGA, who, in con
sequence. of his peculiar escaPe:froM the
French after his surrender at Fue.bla, is re
garded by them as a deserter: We pub
lished -lately, with . some praise, a letter
from Gen. UnAGA, late commander-in-chief
of the Liberals, refusing with great bitterness
the invitation of Borne of his Countrymen
to come over to the Emperor. This letter is,
as it appears,
more Spartan than Mexictn:
But a month after he wrote his indignant
refusal to betray the Republic, Gen. ITRAGA.
has acceded to _MAymiLIArT, if we may
credit the latest.dorrespondence. Mexican
patriotism, ire fear, does not possess the
heroic vitality, for Gen. 1111AGA. lalleges in
excuse- that his troops were addicted to
frequent mutiny. MAximaLmar has taken
the most politic and conciliatOry course to
insure the Empire, by inviting all the in
,
fluential men of the nation to, :his counsel.
Re is now busy organizing an army for
the Empire, out of the French force, the
recusant Mexicans, and the heretofore op
pressed Indians. He has also appointed a
commission of sixty 'to examine the' com
mercial and financial state of the country ;
and it it feared by the Mexican clergy that
the straits of the new exchequer will com
pel him to ratify .the Juarez confiscation
of church property. Less we know of
JIJA,TUZZ himself, whose courage and pa
triotism may be vindicated when the situ
ation becomes more intelligible.
Ireland.
The people of Ireland have at last suc
ceeded in laying the foundatidn of a monu
rnent for the statue of O'Corutimr,, Bah
lin. The occasion was celebrated by an
immense procession of the trades and the
religious and political societies, and was .a
general holiday of festivities. This occur
rence shows that Ireland has yet a national
existence, though it needs, neit to O'Cox
rgELL's self, a leader to stand in the plaCe of
O'Coßzmnr... Even in connection with this
generous tribute to nationality, ignorance,
bad feeling, and clannishness showed them
selves' ttgain in the conduct of a number
of depraved " Orangemen," who were cited
by . the old religious feud to burn "The Li
berator" in effigy, some time before the
celebration. But the event has been useful
in gathering and strengthening the dis
tracted patriotic sentiment of Ireland
around one whom the vast majority
of Irishmen, both I"rotestant and Ca
tholic, cordially respect as the greatest
man of his race in modern times. In a
great day O'CONNELL was a great leader.
He was the, greatestpf popular orators and
agitators, and it may be said that his voice
alone directlY` wrested the concession of
religious fre'edOrn .froni 'the enemies of his
country. It is not astonishing that the
foundation Of a monument to him
should also furnish a' basis for the re
vival of the repeal agitation.. Ireland
has suffered from the neglect of legis
lation, and from evils of final-adminis
tration, which only an. Irish government
can redress. The repeal agitation labors to
effect for Ireland what has been. secured 'to
Australia and Canadtv—a Legislature of its
own. Both in the mother country and in
America an -intensely national spirit pre
vails among Irishmen, and While revolu
tion may only end 11 farce, or' Sialos
finite misery for a pebple already severely
tried, the repeal agitation may have yet -a
chance, though it would be impossible to
predict it from the present state of senti
ment
in Ireland.
•
Tam World-has a correspondent in I3al
timore who may have taken the oath of
allegiance, but who , certainly writes more
in the spirit of a rebel than a patriot.
With all the mysteries of the rebellion,
even the thoughts of its leaders, he seems
perfectly familiar, and we have' frequently
been amused with his cool announcements.
In a recent letter he thus talks of making
peace:
"As regards the terms of peace, they are not un
reasonable. All they would require would be the
rights that are Secured to them In the Constitution.
But they would requiretuarantees for those rights.
They would require an enrols stipulation that the
General Government would never again interfere
with, the dOmestio institutions of any. State; and
that 'this stipulation should be made in the most
solemn manner, and should oonstitute a part of the
organic law. A convention of all the States could
easily regulate this matter.
"If these termsare granted by the North the South
would at once lay down their arms; the Southern
btatea would dlesolve the Confederacy, and each one
of the Southern States would send their Senators
and Representatives to Congress as before the war.
All/other matters in dispute could be easily ad
justed."
Our readers do not need to be told that
this is pure folly or falsehood. They know
that the head of the rebellion himself has
said that he will carry on the war till he is
conquered or the independence of the South
granted. The assertions made by this cor
respondent, who ought to be looked after
by the proper authorities,- are intended
simply to deceive the people and help ,the
Chicako Convention. A more unmitigated
falsehood than the paragraphs we have
quoted could not be told.

I admire such men'as Havelock. Their trade is
to kill, yet they continue gentle and good, brimful
of Christian meekness and charity. Strange that
there should exist each human paradoxes. Cincin
nati:is is alone In history. He tested of power, yet
relinquished an empire, sceptre, and purple for his
farm, his plough, and his wife. But one man has
ever governed without; ambition, and history justly
embalms his name, which with honor!WIll descend
to latest generations. The. Duke of Wellington
said: "A man of relined Christian sensibilities is
totally unfit for the profession of a soldier." Every
charge that Is made upon our lines serves to con
vince me of the truthfulness of this re p k.
Millers come these rebels with supernuilti-valor.
They are veterans. Such scenes as .the one they
now enact has made them ao. In' ba.oncing zefe

THE YELLOW HOUSE, August 21-10 P. K.—
About. 7 o'clock, this %tuning, the enemy made a
fierce onset upon the left of our line. This is the first
Sunday attack of the rebels I have beemobltged to
record for some time. Of late the armies in Vir
ginia have been chary of Sunday. lighting. .Lee's
necessities must be great and urgent, when he
would, on that day, risk an assault contrary to good
policy. Two rules' enter largely into the military
philosophy of the rebel cideftains—time and•con
centration. They will resort to any sheen trick
to beguile the Yankees of the former, and, con
trary to every printed philosophical rule; march
men day and night that they may- be Comma
trated at any given point by a certain hour. Rarely
does this simple strategy fail of success., To reach
our present position Grant assumed the offensive.
This liana been the attitude. of the Potomac ArmY
since the. 5 1 / 1 &ups attacked Ewell's, flank, below
Wilderness Tavern, until Hancock charged through
Deep Bottom. .Our foemen cannot be snore enraged
at the good-natured way our soldiers fight them,
than we are at their late backwardness Inettaoking
our works. No position that we occupy, from the
Rapid Ann to the Appomattox, have they eon; •
sidered worth retaking at any reasonable cost. Even
our fighting men began to grow disgusted, and
wondered if we could not force them to thesiggres
sive.
At length our point Is gained. The circum
stances attending the seizure of the Weldon Rail
road have been communicated. You have been made
acquainted with two. violent efforts of Hill's com
mand to repossess this important avenue of trade,
and know that each in turn failed to tear it from
our grasp. I admit the loss of Gen. Hays and a few
hundred prisoners—will not deny that our line was
penetrated, and some embryo breastworks taken
from us. The heavy masses concentrated upon our
right proved their eagerness to drive us hence, and
an unwillingness to have us remain longer in the
present position. For them to attack was what we
asked—all we desired. Last, nlght.we_recovered
the ground relinquished after 5 o'clock P. Pd. The
right wing was, to use a military phrase, refaSed—
thrown back slightly. The left was extended and
strongly fortified. No one knew how soon it would
be tried. The 0,04 had survived the crushing force
hurled against it. Now we were anxious lbr the
left. Too well, we knew, it must pass through the
fiery ordeal—thebloody baptism.
The enemy's design was apparent. His intention
was to strike our extreme left with overwhelming
numbers, swing around that wing Into the roar, and
roll it upon the centre. He wasfolled--deftrated, chas
tised. As I before mentioned, this portion of the line
-had• been extended. All night busy seen worked

was gathered together and placed in trteleft centre.
New works covered those built a day or two ago,
and were occupied by Griffin's division. Our line
assumed the shape of a cul-de-sac °Tossing the rail
road diagonally, the mouthrbeing turned from the
enemy. AS earlyas one o'clock Sunday morning,
the pickets wet e driven in along some•pOrtions of
the line. Slight skirmishes ensued, but all soon be
came quiet. -
Every preparation seemed completed: About
seven o'clock their batteries opened with unparal
leled fury. We were In a circular clearing, with
eirenmamblent woods. The railroad crossed the
centre, north and south. The point assailed was
on the west side of the road. Oar position was In.
an open field, facing the dense woods, which were
distant about half a mile. Forty pieces of cannon
commanded this sperical plantation. They &Report

ing to the middle of our circle. Our troops clung
to the damp earth while the storm lasted.
Soon the rebel column emerged from the green
woods. They calmly deployed, forming double bat
tle lines with a quickness and skill that would have
charmed the spectators, had they not known what
was the objeot of that parade. Forward they came
upon the doublaqulok, yelling like demons while
they ran. At Intervals they halted to deliver their
fire, and again renewed their perilous quickstep.
All this time the line was well dressed, the men be
having as coolly as if upon battalion drill.
Here began the danger. Now comes death to the
men, confusion to the line, mortification to the offi
cers. Hart's batteri sent a discharge of grape and
canister into their very midst. Unshapely gaps
were ploughed through the advancing lines of hu
man flesh, but in an instant they were closed, to be
torn, open afresh. Battery after battery •poured
its Iran storm among the rebels, and still unwa
veringly they advanced. They are now within mus
ket range. The distance between them and the
works they covet is not great, and Is lessened every
minute., Will they continue to march through a
stream of death and snatchthebreastwOrks from ttel
The men of Ayres' and Cutler's divisions are on
their feet. Brave fellows ! Quietly, without a mur
mur, they have crouched upon the soaked earth,
while the mutilating, death-dealing shells flew thick
and fast among them. Patient valor has its reward.
Now is their time. The soldier's peerless, priceless,
inestimable boon is at hand. TiotorT is about to

GEL TORBERT : There was but little more fight-
Log after my despatch sent you at 7 P. M.
The 2d Brigade did superbly. It captured one
hundred and forty horses. Twelve officers were
also taken. Thalst Brigade also did magnificently,
capturing over fiftyprisoners and repulsing a heavy
force of infantry, killing and wounding a large
number. Two battle-flags were captured, and 'the
old division gave the boys a most magnificent
dressing. .
The Reserve Brigade was not engaged. The
prisoners represent Itershaiv's diviaion, of Long
street's curia, and Somers' and Wickham's brigades
of cavalry, both small brigades. The country was
open, and several elegant mounted oharges were
made.
The enemy tried to turn our left by wading the
river up to their waists, but they found us laying
for them, and we corralled them,, ehooting thein
down until they cried for mercy. Over thirty of
their dead, and a larger number'of their wounded,
lie in one spot.
The enemy opened with splendid practice , from
two batteries. I rejoice to say our' casualties are
entail for the amount of fighting - done. Sixty will
cover my entire loss. I never saw the command act
better or do more execution. "
A rebel colonel was killed, and his body Is In our

The Mayor has issued the following proclamation
to the people of Mobile:
The enemy's veigels, as you all knolf, hate run
past the forts and are now in the bay, so that the
outer water defences are alio further present use
for the security of , our city and, homes. What the
purpose of the enemy is we have not yet discovered

dominate the'forts, or by his shallowest Vessels to
attempt to drew near enough to open a bombard

We must:act without this - Information. ` We must

only way-to 'make our Ad:forts useful, and to stand

that we have at command.
Theadirence on us hes been unexpected, and our

be unmasked in such a form as will bring our ser

ment, on the 18th day of June, 1862, I appointed
A. A. Gibson, then a captain in the artillery ser
vice of the United States, colonel of the 2d Regi
ment Pennsylvania Artillery. It was represented
to me that he was very well qualified, and I se.
looted him accordingly for this particular arm of
the service. Early in January, 1883 , complaints,
wore made to me by the officers of the regiment in •
reference to the conduct of (Atoned Gibson, and,
indeed, charges were made of a serious character.
I was extremely reluctant to interfere between the
War Department and a colonel of the service. Bat
theseeomplaints continued to be repeated, and In
the month of play or June, 1863, when in WaShing
ton City on other business, I was called upon by
many of the officers of the regiment, gentlemen
who were personally known to me to ho en
tirely rEllable, and statements were made so se
riously that I could not disregard them, and I ad.
dressed the Secretary of War upon the Subject,
and sent my communication from Willard's Hotel
without having retained& copy, asking that Colonel
Gibson should be relieved from tae command of the
regiment, and ordered back to his regiment in the
army. To this communication no answer was re
turned, but to my surprise 1 learned unofficially that
all that was required to secure the removal of Col.
Gibson was nay request to that effect. On the 2d De
cember, 1668, I again addressed the Secretary of
War, as follows:
Essoirrivit Crum - min,
HARRISBURG, December 2, 1863.
Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
Sin : I beg leave to request most earnestly that
you will issue an order to Col. A. A. Gibson, now
commanding the 2d Pennsylvania Artillery, re.
having him from the command and returning him
to his post, as captain of the 2d Regiment of Artil
lery (regulars). 1 am Constrained to make this re
quest from the fact that Colonel Gibson has not and
'dope not give 'satisfaction to his regiment; that MI
officers—some of them the finest in the Service—are
constantly appealing to me to relieve them. Charges
of a serious nature could be preferred, but this would
involve the delay attending a court martial, and
would create dissensions, all of which can be avoided
by Ida being returned to 'ids regular rank. The
most charitable construction placed upon his con
duct by his officers is that he is insane, and under
such •circumetanees the mildest means consistent
with the good of the service are probably the best.
I respectfully refer to papers already on file in
your Department with my endorsement In relation
to thati . .Subjeet t and I beg that the order may issue.

Letters from the City Orldo/100 bring the tart of
an I mperial appointing, in MS 15 of the Ea
peroes death, the Empress Charlotte Regent of the
Empire. It is thus couched: •
Considering that nothing is 80 urgent as to pro
vide for the maintenance of the legitimate Govern
ment of the nation which has elected us for its So
vereigh, and to obviate all eventualities which might
arise.
We have decreed—
That in the case of death, or of any other accident
which may render it Impossible for us to continue to
govern, the Empress, our august spouse, shall be
charged with the regency of the empire.
My present Minister of State, or the respective
Minister, shall be chanred with the execution of this
decree.

TRiontrHAL ARCH TO THE BHP=OR.
[From Galignani's Messenger. August 13. 3
The municipality of Mexico • having resolved to
reheat the entrance of the Promenade dela Pledad,
to which the name of Avenue of the Empress Char
lotte has been given, a triumphal arch In honor of
her hiajesty, the Emperor Maximilian gave orders
to his Minister of State, M. Valasquec de Leon, to
reserve the white marble and other materials al
ready prepared to erect in Palace Square a menu
went consecrated to the heroes of National Inde
pendence. The following are the terms in which
his Majesty expresses himself:
My DRAB MOrusraun VELASQUItZ DB Leos :
Among the numerous testimonials which I have re
ceived since I arrived on the shores of Vera Cruz of
the love and respect which my countrymen feel to
ward me, as well as toward the Empress, a fresh one
has just reached us, and It redoubles our emotion. /
learn that it has been resolved to raise a triumphal
arch In marble, dedicated to the Empress, at the en
trance of the beautiful Avenue de la Pledad, which
will henceforth bear the name of " Promenade of
the Empress Charlotte." This Intelligence has aug
mented, if that be possible, our firm determination
to be forever Mexicans.
Considering for the same reason how much it will
be agreeable to our fellow-citizen—and I ens sure
in advance orthe approoation of all true patriots—
to see raised in the centre of the grand square a ma
tutnent which perpetuates the remembrance, al
ways dear to our hearts, of Mexican independence,
I desire, in accord with the Empress, that with the
marble destined to construct a triumphal arch in
her honor, a monument shall be raised consecrated
to the indepencence of the country, placing thereon
the statues of the principal heroes, such as Ill
dalgo, Morelos, Iturbide, &c., and inscribing thereon
the names of the other chiefs of that glorious epoch
In letters of gilded bronze, and surmounting the
whole with a grand statue representing the nation.
For my own satisfaction, yielding to the most
lively emotions of my heart, I wish to lay with due
solemnity the first stone of this jnonument on the
18th of September next. For this purpose, my dear
Minister, I charge you to call, as soon as possible,
through the office of the Minister of States'to which
such toatters appertain, upon engineers and artists
to present thelr projects and plans, for I desire ar-
d exktly to, see this idea realized. bleximittart,

The opening of the. Danish Bigndswi.
The special correspondence of the London Times.
Writlig:frOm Copenhagen on the 7th inst., givetithe
following account of the opening of the. Danish
Inks! 11 *:
Ills Majesty Xing Christian IX. of Denmark
opened his Blgsdeir yesterday. You have not for
gotten, perhaptythat the new sessionof the ittweraad
commenced about six weeks ago. The latter, as
you know, is, or rather was, the General Parliament
for the whole kingdom; the former was a special
assembly representing only the purely Danish. pro
vinces—s. e., the islands and Jutland. As these will
henceforth be all that is left of the old Monarchy,
the two assemblies will be identified,.and Rigsraad
and itigulag will become synonymous expressions.
The King slid not on the former occasion, as you
I may recollect appear in person ; his message was
delivered by Bishop Moored, then President of the
Countil of Ministers. There seemed at.that tints
no good reason why his Majesty should keep out of
sight at such a oriels, and his absence gave rise to
unfriendly comments. Possibly the murmurs of his
people reached his ears, manta resolved to make
amends on the first opportunity by giving the cere
mony all the consequence that the pageantry of the
old Court of Denmark could confer upon it.
The labors of the Danish Parliament are inaugu
rated by a religious solemnity. It was always a
subject of regret to 'me, when I attended similar
ceremonies in Italy, to see religion altogether ex
cluded from the transactions of a Parlianient 'swi
veled by virtue of a constitution declaring the
Boman Catholic faith to be the religion of the State.
These earnest Northern people are - faithful to the
At Jove principium rule—they could not be ,so un
mindful of their Maker ate time when they are in
the utmost need of Him. Before repairing to the
Ball of the Folkething, or Lower House, in Chris
tianborg, where the meeting was to be held, the
King, his suite, and the members of the Rigedag,
assembled in the adjoining Slot Birk. or Palace
Chapel, a plain Grecian building forming the right
wing of that vast mass of masonry of the Christian
burg, which was once the chief home of Danish
royalty, and 18 now turned to as many Public uses as
the Louvre.
At about n o'clock A. N., Pastor Primodt as
cended the pulpit, and delivered to his most die.
tinguished audience a highly impressive sermon,
taking as his text these words: “Nifi Dominus awn
fleas:mit domum, in vanum lahoraverunt qui sdificant
earn." He dwelt at full length on the grievous
calamities with which the country is now afflicted,
and referred their causes to that lacit of unanimity
and brotherhood which had set up party against
party. and man against man. He exhorted his
countrymen to bear with patience the visitation of
heaven, and held out some hope that the evils
which they now suffered might be but transitory,
and that they would eventually recover by concord
and charity what they had lost from and
dissension.
At about 12 o'clock the religions solemnity was
over, and the members of the Rigsdag, in full dress,
were assembled in the hall. The three famous silver
lions of Ring Christian IV., cast more than 250
years ago, were brought hither from the lumber
rooms in the Rosenborg Palace and laid Upon the
carpetin front of the throne. O n' the throne Itself
was thrown the ermine mantle of the King, and on
the light hand of the Royal seat was - a chair for
the Crown Prince, covered with crimson velvet.
The Royal Foot Guards wortrondatyat therPalEteet
gate; the Horse Guards, dismounted, were 'ranged
along the corridors where the King was to.pass.
All these household troops were, of course, n full
uniform ' • the infantry in dark blue, with bear
skin caps, after the French Imperial la§lgon • the
cavalry cuirassed , helmeted, and white-coated, as
Austrians.
At half-past twelve the King appeared, accompa

handed the royal speech to his Majesty, who read it
with a firm and distinct voice, and with an utter
ance to which even the men least partial to his royal
person are willing to do justice, acknowledging that
it hat greatly Improved of late, that -It is more free
from German aocent, and more purely Danish than
It was at the time of the King's accession. The
speech was as follows
"To our faithful Danish Rigsdag, our Royal
greeting:
"Although the Session to which we have sum
moved our faithful Rigsdag, in accordance with
Section 21 of the Constitution, must be immediately
prorogued on account of circumstances, we have yet
felt the necessity of opening this Rigsdag inperson
and of assembling round us the chosen of the pee!
pie. 'Notwithstanding the courage and endurance
with which our valiant army and fleet have fought
to uphold Denmark's right and honor, and notwith
standing the readiness with which the entire people
has brought every sacrifice for the salvation of the
country, the _war waged against us by a superior
force will, "neve,rtheless, compel us and o;ur pea.
pie to the heaviest and most grievous
,00nees•
alone, for, as all Europe leaves us without as
sistance, we have seen ourselves forced to
yield- to numbers, 'and to endeavor to ter
minate a war whose continuance under exist
ing circumstances would only occasion our beloved
peohoutple and country greater losses and misfortunes,
wit holding out_ the prospeot of

improve
ment of our prosition. Nevertheless, we Will look
towards the future with comfort, in fun reliance'
upon our faithful Danish people,,entertaining the
firm hope that brighter days will not lull, if King
and peop beloved to heal the deep wounds indlcOW
upon our country. We rely especially upon'
you, gentlemen, the elect of the nation, faithfully
laboring with us for the welfare 'of the country, and
wish you in all ytur endeavors the blessing of' Rea.

silence, and he bad almost crossed'the, whole specie
between the throne and the door, when one of the
members of the Conservative party gave the signal
of cheering by a loud "goongen love' °— cry which.
was taken up with three times three. It is mypatn
ful duty to add that sounds of a somewhat discord.
ant nature were distinctly heard laming from the
hindmost benches of the crowded gallery.
You are by ads time, I doubt not, familiar with
the substance of 'the King's speech, which was rather
short, and simply intimatedthat Denmark,had.been
conquered, and intuit submit to the law of the - con
queror. It ALEbitter truth for the Iffror to utter,
bitter truth for the people to hear; but it was cer
tainly most ungenerous, to use no 'harsher word, to
visit upon the King the displeasure which the na
tion mayjustly feel at the announcement of eats
=nits which hie Majesty was not certainly, instru
mental in binning upon the country, and - which it
was not by any means in his power to avert. Those
signs of disapprobation, which jarred upon the feel-
Inge of unconcerned strangers, and' broke the har
mony of the loyal cheers, proceeded, in all proba
bility, from men who were not Danes,. or were un
worthy of the name ; it Is to be hoped they never
reached the ears onthe retiring King.
Although the King entered into no particulars of
the conditions of the peace of which he-has alread
signed the preliminaries, he spoke to an audiencey
to whom those terms are as well known as to him
self. Upon the subject of these terms, and on the
impression wrought by them upon the nitride of 'the
people here, I ehan have to return in a future
