The Schleswig-Holstein dispute seems to be in a fair way of settlement at last. Neither the Prussian government nor the Danish government are any longer willing, or, perhaps, we should say, desirous, of pushing the question to extremities, and thus percipitating a war the extent of which might become a matter of European concern. When the antagonists in the quarrel begin to seethe affair in this light, there is at length a rational ground for hoping that a pacific arrangement may be arrived at. Prussia seeing, probably, that she could not very conveniently carry out her threats, and Denmark, ready for war, but much more anxious for peace, are both prepared to abandon something of their former pretensions; and the President of the Danish Council, with a candour which has distinguished the conduct of the Danish authorities throughout, informs a deputation, which had waited upon him to protest against German intervention in Denmark, that the government is ready to sacrifice to some extent its strict legal rights in Holstein. It seems to be agreed on all hands that Denmark has acted with great liberality and forbearance throughout; and now that England, France, and Russia aye united in their friendly interposition, we may reasonably hope that the advanced offers of the Danish ministry will not have been made in vain.— Some News.
