The correspondent of the Times in Denmark, a man not
likely to be prepossessed in favour of Austria, bears testimony to the excellent behaviour of the Austrian troops. General Gablenz refused to allow the statue of the Tappre Land Soldat, near Fredericia, to be destroyed, and the Austrians, it appears, pay for all they take. The Danes feel the difference keenly, and express no hatred against the Austrians. The truth is, we imagine, that the Austrian army is governed by gentlemen, and that the Italian and Hungarian regiments, having no national feeling to gratify against the peasantry, are really more conciliatory. It is curious that even in England the conduct of the Austrians hardly excites so much feeling as that of Prussia. One expects a Hapsburg to act violently, to apply the laws of war harshly, and to claim dominions by conquest, but the Prussians were supposed to be becoming civilized.
