She sailed from Liverpool at two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, the 3d of August. The Niagara coaled and sailed from Halifax for ‘New York, at half-past 10 o’clock, with a fresh @outherly wind. She will be due at this port to- morrow afternoon. The steamship Atlantic, Capt. West, hence for ‘Liverpool, was spoken about two o’clock P.

Denmark and the Duchies. ‘WHE PROGRESS OF THE WAR—THE FEELINGS OF THR SCHLESWIG PEOPLE—THEIR DETERMINATION TO RENEW THE STRUGGLE, ETC. It appears, from the latest intelligence from the @eat of war, that the retreat of the Schleswig army, ‘at the battle of Idstedt, was owing more to a want ammunition than to the result of a hard fought ‘Gield, and no doubt exists that the retreat was per- ‘fectly orderly, and that the army will speedily be ‘weady for action, as at first. The Danish report of the battle is published, from which it appears that they lost twelve officers ‘Killed and seventy-four wounded; a hundred and four privates killed and two thousand three hun- dred wounded. Gen. Willisen, the Schleswig general, does not state his loss, but regrets the Jarge number of officers killed and wounded. ‘The Schleswig government has issued a procla- qation, in which it declares that its army, though -compeled to fall back, is not beaten—the courage -of the army is undiminished, and the troops stand sprepared to renew the fight. Nothing is yet lost, and the Fatherland expects that every man will do chis duty. There has been no change in the rela- ‘tive positions of the hostile forces since the 27th. ‘The Danes remain at and about Tropp, and the ‘Holsteiners behind the Wattensee, at Schesmt, at the junction of the Eyder with the Holstein canal. ‘The Holsteiners are making every effort to bring ‘their army again into condition to recommence operations, and every battalion of the reserve has ‘een called in. Martial law has been proclaimed for the Duehy of Schleswig. A fleet of eighteen men of war lies before the hharbor’s mouth at Kiel. England. TUR JEWISH QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT—THE DANISH WAR—TIDINGS OF THE AMERICAN EXPLORING BX- PRDITION, ETO. The exciting topic in the British House of Com- mons, continues to be the admission or non-admis- zion of Baron Rothschild to his seat in Parliament. | ‘On Thursday the Ist inst., the debate was again re- g#umed; but on an intimation from the Attorney General that he had some definite resolutions to propose, the further discussion of the question was ‘further adjourned. Attorney General gave notice that he would, on the 5th inst., move the two following resolutions: — First, That Baron Rothschild is not eatitled to ‘vote in this House, or to sit ia this House, during any debate, until he shall take the oath of abjura- tion in the form inted by law . That this House will, at the earliest | opportunity in the next session of Parliament, take into senovs jeration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve her Majesty's Bu professing the Jewish religion. The announeement of these resolutions was re- ceived with much indignation by the House; and, ‘in political circles, it is antucip ited that the govern- ment will be thoroughly beaten on the resolutions. A serious forgery on the Austrian Bank of Vien- ma, has just been discovered in London. It ap- pears that a person named Hill had been appre- hhended, with forged notes on that bank to the amount of £15,000. A man named Jones has been brought up at the London police office, for having in his possession a Jetter threatening the death of Lord John Russe! ‘The fellow told the policeman that he found etter, but the more probable ciréumstance appears ‘to be, that he concocted it with the view to a little wnenviable notoriety A meeting, numerously attended, was held in Manchester, on the 3ist ult, for the purpose of conside 4 plan for the cultivation of cotton in the West Indies.

Their object was to abet the views astria and Ruse, in the deliberation of i : TWO mt, to see that power interpose itself, not onl: between the liberties of the Duchies and of Get many, but the increasing sabre sway of which Russia and Austria arethe champions. The allied journals embrace the moment of the conference resui deliberations to wheedle the gevern- | ments of France and England, and bully the go- | vernment of Prussia, into subjection to the recon- struction of the Germanic Confederation on the absolutist principles of 1815, and the sacrifice of the Duchies to the uncontrolled will of the King of Denmark, or his master the Czar.” The British Admiralty have given notice of the arrival, on the Ist inst., of intelligence from Capt. Austin and the English and American squadrons sent in search of Sir Jobn Franklin Captain Aus- tin, on board the Eugenia, transport, left Whale Fish Islands, on the hd of June, all well, perfect in every equipment, the steamers with six weeks’ coal on .. The day after Captain Austin sailed, the American expedition, consisting of two schooners, arrived at the Whale Fish Islands, and sailed to the northward on the 29th, all well. The season for explorations is considered fairly opened, but no ananes has yet been obtained of the missing vessels.
