A numerous popular meeting took place on th'e 13th March,* at Copenhagen, for the adoption of t petition calling for electoral reforms. This petition, with 2,000 signatures, will be immediately presented to the King by a special deputation.
The C onstitutionnel contains the following apocryphal paragraph :—": — " Letters from Copenhagen of the 14th state that a Russian fleet being about to pass through the Sound, in order to proceed to the Mediterranean, to assist the King of Naples, the Danish people were actively engaged in planting cannon, so as to oppose their passage. An English fleet was hourly expected at Elsinore, a fortified port at the narrowest part of the Straits, where it probably is at this moment, with the same intention of preventing the passage of the Russian fleet."
