The Armistice Negotiations

Denmark.
No. 54, July 24, 1848
Neue Rheinische Zeitung.
The armistice is still neither concluded nor definitively rejected. The reports, both from Wrangel’s headquarters and from Copenhagen, constantly contradict each other. The only certainty is that Wrangel initially refused to sign, that Mr. Reetz returned to Copenhagen with this refusal, and that, as a result, fresh troops were embarked for Jutland from the 15th onwards.

The Börsenhalle relates that, upon the news of the conclusion of a new three-day truce, the English and Swedish ministers, as well as Mr. Reetz, likewise proceeded from Copenhagen to Kolding. Together with General Neumann, who was sent from Berlin, they are said to be attempting to overcome Wrangel’s resistance.

All this news reaches us via Copenhagen, while from Berlin and from Wrangel’s headquarters nothing but empty rumours transpire. Our present constitutional regime of publicity is in this respect in no way different from the old secretiveness. The matters that concern us most closely we learn from the papers of the most distant countries.

According to a letter in the Fædrelandet, the German invasion has made the Jutes fairly peaceable.
