The announcement of the friendly attention contemplated on the part of the German Court towards the neighboring Court of Denmark — namely, the official attendance ot the frigate Niobe at the millenary celebrations in Iceland, appears to have occasioned some surprise on the Continent. The display of friendly feeling is intimated to be the result of a similar sentiment evinced by the Danish Court and population of this very frigate in question during her anchorage in the port of Copenhagen. This was the first instance of a visit other than hostile of a German man-cf-war to a Danish. port, and it was rather expected that a vindictive spirit would be betrayed by the Copenhagen mob. The reception of the Niobe was, on the contrary, as friendly as could be. The sailors and marines were allowed to mix freely and cordially with the Danish seamen, and the officers of the vessel were distinguished by an invitation to the King's Court. This is reported to have created a very favorable impression in Berlin.
