They next demanded the sur- i render of Schleswig, whit h, being refused, the Federal forces matched upon that duchy. After severe lighting, the Danes j retired to Jutland. Denmark has blockaded the ports of Schleswig and llolstein. In the commencement of the month, the [ Prussians crossed the Schlei at itb mouth. ' turning the Danish position.
