DENMARK AND GERMANY. Advices from Cuxhaven, dated the 14th inst., suite that tho blockade of the Elbe having commenced on the 12th instant, the pilot galliot had ldfethe station, but the lightships have not Vet been removed. The letters from Bremen, of tho 13th instant, intimate tl!?t the Danes having declared the river in a state of blockade, the Bremen light vessels have been ordered from their stations, and brought into port. We learn from Hamburg that on the 14th instant a bill was posted on the Hamburg Ex cliango, stating that the Danish encroachment-'*, near Duppel, had been attacked, and earned by the Saxon and Bavarian troops. Accounts from Hamburg of the 1 /5th inst., confirm the late news of the success of the German troops at Duppel, where thev stormed the Danish entrenchments iwiu jiiit niuuiauivca nitu pussussiou ui a tcte (lit pout, part of which was, however, blown up by the Danes.

The plenipotentiary of Wirtcmberg had no authority to sign. Itcsse Cassel protests against the constitution nnd election of the King, as treason to the German people. The Lcipsic Gazette states that the King of Bavaria has protested ngninst conferring the Imperial title on the King of Prussia, and against organizing Gcrmunv witlinnf A nefwa AUSTRIA ANI) HUNGARY. According to a letter from Vienna, of the 10th, the Magyars on the lower hanks of the Danube have penetrated into several parts of the Backza. Perezel and Batthyani have succeeded in entrenching themselves in the fortress of Peterwardein. The garrison, in order to favor this movement, made a sortie on the 20th ult. which was succcsful. Immediately on the arrival of Perezel and Batthyani, the partisans oi Austria were allowed to withdraw. Crowds of women and children left peterwardein in diflfesent conveyances. The Servian garrison of Zambor retired. After this a number of the inhabitants of the Baczka took the road to Styria, with their wives and children. The last news from Hungary is to the cffect that matters remain just as they were before. The Hungarian army have taken up positions on the Rakosh plain, under the walls of Pesth, and offered battle to the Austrian*, who stand prepared to defend their possession of the Hungarian capitol. Prince Windischgratz, warned by his late mishaps, has declined accepting the battle, and it is sincerely ho ped at Vienna that he will escape being fnrp.p.rl to en tor into sin r>iurnfrp.m?vrt. 'flip. left wing of his army, under his special command, stands at. Wait/en ; the centre, under Gen. Shlick, is at Czinkota, a village on the road from Pesth to Godollo; and the right wing, under the Ban Jellachich, extends across the rail road line towards Alberti mul Czegled. The heroic Ban was at one time given up as lost, and his re-appearance lias caused great joy at head quarters. ITALY. The flame paper states that the following are some of the terms imposed by r ranee ana n.ngiiinu on tnc rope as ine condition on which they will aid his return to Rome:?A gederal armistice, a complete secular Government, inviolability of political liberty, abolition of the holy office and ecclesiastical tribunals, except in the matter of the clergy, and the suppression of proprietary religious orders. Letters from Florence, of the 10th inst., atatcs (hat a French steamer from Oaeta had landed the Secretary of the French legation of Rome at Civita Vocchia, and that he had immediately left for the capitol. He was said to be the bearer of the ultimatum of the foreign powers for the re-establishment of the Pone. Itannears II that a simultaneous movement hfvs b^r arranged between the powers; the French were to occupy Civita Vecchiaana Ancona; the Austrians, Ferrara; the Neapolitan^ the frontier. On the arrival of th< steamer from Gaeta; another stcamei was immediately despatched to Toulor witli Ardnru it. \uii lunate city, after a siege of three days. The following is from n letter, dated Catania, April 7: At an early hour on the morning of the 5th the Neapolitan squadron, consisting of 17 vessels, steamers, frigates, and gun boats, took up a position to bombard the city. The firing lasted all day with much damage to the city, and but little to tho vessels. Tlio following morning a simultaneous auacK was maue oy sea anci land. The Swiss, to the number of 2500, led the van, and were supported by two regiments of cavalry, and followed by an army of 10,000 men, with forty pieces of cannon. After a brief but obstinate resistance, the Catancsc were overpowered, and tli^ troops of Ferdinand entered the city, which then became a real field of battle. As the troops advanced the resistance became more obstinate. The assailants were fired on from .1 i i i i ; ... .i . . inuow.s, nuusiuups (iiiii u;tmt*mies.? The city, bombarded by sea and land, was compelled to surrender, and on the morning of the 7th a portion of the garrison and a great number of the inhabitants retired to the mountains in perfect order, abondoning the city to fire and plunder. The greater part of the houses were sacked and destroyed. The public lihrnrx' iltn tvilnnn nf l.n M fimn'iu S'lTi Giulinno, that of the Princc of Caraci, and many other edifices were burnt,. About 1*700 Neapolitans were killed, and a great number more of Sicilians. Such has been the fate of this fine city und its inhabitants. Filangieri has given up the city to sack and fire. It is now in flames in many parts. The soldiers are. prowling about, plundering houses, violating women, and stabbing all who oppose them." CIITNA. Our Hong Kong advices are to the 27th of February, from which we learn that the Peninsular and Oriental Company's new steamer Malta arrived on the 16th inst., having loft Singapore on the morning of the 8th ; nnd tho Canton steamer, belonging to the same company, arrived on the 1 !)th inst The question of opening the city gates at Canton has lieen the engrossing subject during the month, we believe that nearly all the respectable part of the native community at Canton will bo glad to have the matter settled, as they are getting tired of it, and it is not argued by them now with the same angry feeling as on former occasions. The fear of the Ladrones and of the idle portion of the working classes seems to be the chief cutisc of alarm, and not the question of the light of opening the city gates to us. The authorities can and must be made to carry out the convention, or the consequences, indirectly, may be injurious to British interests, not only at Canton, but at all the other ports. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Rumors were in circulation in Paris on the 18th inst., of a modification of the ministry. Gen. Lamocriciere is spoken of for the Ministry of War, and General Bedeau for that of Foreign Affairs. So many representatives are leaving Paris every day, that after the budget is voted, it will not, it is said, be possible to make a House. PRUSSIA. The following significant paragraph appears in the second edit'v.i of the Cologne Gazette, of the 18th inst. "A new Prussian note, bearing iftate April 13, and intended as an answer to the Austrian one of the 8th, lias in tljc clearest and most unequivocal mann<>rf | declared to tlie Olmutz cabinet that the^ Prussian Government will not he deterred in any way by the opposition of the Austrian Minirtrj from assisting, with all its power, in the .-peody formation of a united confederate State, and that it is firmly resolved to uphold and protect the work thus accomplished, with the concordance of thetJeflhnn princes.
