The Danish Question. —The conference

Ural the British Guvernißenl h.is at last deter

the aaswei of Denmark to submit the v.hole

proposal to arbitrate, with the certainly ot a
mate.i and backing, should the Geimans reject
the ultimatum of a territorial division on the

Doumuk could assemble eigldy thousand men
in Faueu, and that the allied fleet could land
an overwhelming loroe in rear of the Geimans
in Jutland and he hit.* wig and that it would be
an easy matter to teach the invaders equity at

derate cruisers, ii brought into British wa’ers:
Dowsixo tiiiiKET, June 2, JBO4.
Sir: I think it well to communicate to you
the decisions at which lrer Majesty’s Govern
ment have arrived on certain questions which
have arisen respecting the treatment of prizes
captured by Federal or (Jonfeijerate cruisers,
if brought into English waters:
1. If any prize captured by a ship of war
of cither ot the belligerent powers tlntil he
brought by the captors within her Majesty’s
jurisdiction, notice shall be given bytireGov
ernor to tlie captors immediately to depart and
remove such prizes.
2. A vessel which shall hare been actually
and bone fida converted into ami used as a pub
lic vessel of war shall not he deemed lo be a
prize within the meaning of these rules
3. If any prizes shall bs brought within her
Majesty’s juridicti in through ra re stress of
weather dr other extreme or unavoidable ne
cessity, the Governor m iy allow for her re
moval such time as he may consider to he ne-
cessary.
4. If any prize shall not be removed ot
Ihe time prescribed to the captors by the (Liv -
crnoi, the Governor may detain such prize un
til her uiajisly's pleasure shall bt made known.
5. If any nr 7.3 sh ill have been captured by
any vilolatioa cf fire territory or territorial
waters of her Majesty, tire Governor way de
tain such prize until her Majesty’s pleasure
may be made known.
IL r Majesty's Government have not thought it
necessary to make any addition to tho insirnc
ffens already given with respect to cargoes
viz : that her Majesty’s orders apply ’as much
tQ prize cargoes of every kind which may be
brought by any armed sß;ps or privateers qf
eith r belligerent into British wafers as to the
captured yessels themselves.
flrey (Jo ipF, f#o«yevo(, apply rivalry articles
which may have formed part of any such car
goes, if brought within the British jurisdiction,
not by aimed ships or priv.iteeis of < ilher bol
ligerent, but. by other poisons who may hare
apqqlred or may claim property iu them by
reason of a’iy rjealiug with ths captors

will reach $242,900,000; the expense excluding
two mouths' pay of the army duly Jst, is near
$680,000,000. The amount in sxoess of tlie
revenue is therefore $610,000,000 Taking the
highest amount extimated, assuming tuiscellane
ous receipts, which will reach $35,000,000, the
whole amount of revenue for next year cannot
be set down at more than $318,000,000. The

and 450.000,000 is to be raised by loans.

One Fremont Explains his Position —The
Boston Pioneer states that Mr. Heinzen and
Wendell Phillips were recently invited by Fre
mont to visit him at his summer residence, at
Nabant, |Massaehusotts. The meeting was, of
course, cf a political character, and Mr.Heinzen
publishes the following report of it :
We will prenjise tliai neither Mr. Phillips nor
we left any question untouched from motives
of false delicacy, but gave Gen. Fremont, ou
the contrary, opportunity to declare himself on
all those points against which the attacks of
bis enemies hare ln-en directed. The itvu t
of our few horns’ conveisation was, that we
left the man tvt.d candidate, Fremont, fully
satisfied, and that the confidence which \ye re
posed in him formerly has been double strength
ened.
In regard lo tho overthrow of Hie rebellion,
Gen. Fremont remarked that his position on
this subject was too well known to require com
ments front him. especially as lie bad declared
himseil agreeing with that paragraph of the
platfoi m which requires tlie overthrow of the
rebellion by force of arm*, and without com
promise. The unpunislii and and uneensured vio
lations of law ou the put of Lincoln and his
Cabinet had principally caused His anxiety for
the republic, which was tints being, destroyed
in its liinihunent-ul principles, while at the Same
time morally undermined by an unparalleled
corruption.
Gen. Fremont said that a republic coil’d
never gate by quell a war as this; but the dan
ger would be vastly increased if stub arbitrary
actions ou the part ot the government were
not opposed at llje start. The arbitrary actions
of Mr. Lincoln had brought tilings ro such a
p iss that the question might be asked whether
tlie republic could be bought for money ? The
re election ot Lincoln ha 1 become altogether a
money question* Hence Gen. Fremont con
sidered it, above all, necessary to stir up the
idea of law and order amongst the people, and
thus mike them capable of saving the repub
lic. His posi:tou on the slavery question was
thus expressed: "Wo must not rest until slave
ry is torn out by the roots.”
As f*r negro 0 ;*, to them belong tho same
rights which,- the whites enjoy. The word

tion.’’
11l relation to the confiscation. question,
Gen. Fremont stated, that he knew Southern
conditions and Southern people ‘rum personal
experience. With the paragraph of the Cleve
land platform nobody could t-ilbct a reconatrurj
tiou of the South. That paragraph says no
thing of confiscating the lands of the rebel
leaders, but speaks of rebel lands generally,
and must be viewed as a measure of “revenge.’'
Hence, its effect will be to incite all rebels to
the utmost resistance and m rite them Brecon
cible. Moreover, Gen. F. said he should be
forced to entertain a very uufavtAabie opinion
of the political insight of a party, which should
al-loupt to reconstruct States out of a iamb
an I moneyless population. lienee, die had
opt widened it necessary to soften tho impression
produced by this paragraph, and to.point out
its possible effect, li confiscation wore to be
ii.uifcd to the principal leaders ho should ugee
to it.
In respoct to th i position of tha Democratic
party, Gen. Fremont said, that tue removal of
Lmcoln’s Administration, which has placed
us in a shameful position toward Europe, en
dangered the republic by arbitrariness and
corruption, and shown its total incapability to
bring back the South into the Union even at
lire greatest expense of lives and money, is of
paramount necessity, upon which everything
else depends. Fremont believes that the prolon
gation of Lincoln’s lule will produce tlio sep
aration of the South, which would be followed
by a separation of the East and the West, re
sulting finally in the destruction of the repub
lic. Hence, iu view of ihe Immense impor
tance which is to be attached to Lincoln’s re
moval from Washington, and iri view of. the
extraordinary power ho lias by virtue of his
position, it becomes necessary to combine
against him all elements of opposition, which
may be applicable to the salvation of the re
public,-aud of these elements the Democratic
party furnishes the largest Contingent.
In effecting this combination we must never
think of denying our principles or giving up
our platform. Let ng show tho Democrats
the importance and necessity of a union at
tire time of danger; and let us declare openly
and lirmly our principles and objects, aud ex
tend our band to them, if they share our E,e*nti
mentri. We will remain true to oq, principles
in every danger. "Il I could b»come presi
dent,” said G -a, Fremont with an emphasis
contrasting powerfully with his otherwise'so
veily calm demeanor, “by giving up an iota
oi my principles, especially in regard lo sla
very, I should not do it—never, never l”
H.was also suggested, that if the Democrats
should join tire “Radical Democracy,’’.they
might soon get control of Ihe party and change
its ; rincqile.i. To this Fremont remarked : “If
we are victorious, we have also the better por
tion of the Republican party ou our side, anu
a union of ail ihe liberal elements of the coun
try will then make freedom the ruling policy
ol our nation.” ,
The Florence National Democratic Commit
tee have hold c.).—at Washington, and
concurred m tho pu.-tponement of the Chicago
Convention, by the Belmont Committee, air.
.Florence, in H i paper, says that the commit
tee was i- biu'd : th a spirit «f patriotism and
devotion to the thee honored principles of the
dviiioeiv-ti oi'.r'iy-. -ud deteimined to main
