In Paris, yesterday, the most alarming accounts had been received
from the provinces. At Toulouse, the clubs, 400 strong, broke into the house of M. July, demanding arms. At Auxerre, the Commissary was mobbed and forced to walk in procession. At Troyes, the people tore up the rails. The provincial National Guards had entered the town, and were bivouacking to the number of 6,000 in the streets. They were furious at the dictation of Paris, and threatened to march against it.
31. Blanqui has published a defence: it seems to be more retaliatory than ex- planatory.
Later accounts of the affair between the Danes and the Holstein troops, on the 10th instant, show it to have been important. The Holsteiners, 10,000 strong, retired on Bau from Flensburg, dislodged by the preparations for a bombardment from the harbour, which was full of Danish gun-boats. But the Danes came on in superior numbers, and drove all before them, despite a stubborn resistance. Two German regiments were almost. annihilated; and the killed on each side were more than 2,000. After their victory, the Danes pushed Southwards, and en- tered Schleswig at two in the morning of the 11th. The Danish troops in Schles- wig are now 20,000. The Prussians remain on the Holstein frontier, increasing their numbers.
Advices from Hamburg mention the failure of M. Lean and Co., F. Braarsch and Co., Joseph Heine and Sons, Sampson Brothers, and Elias Warburg.
The Duke and Dutchess of Montpensier entered Madrid on the 6th: their re- ception is described as "cold in the extreme." Sefior °longs, whom the Go- vernmcmt were sending into exile, had escaped from his guard.
