OF DENMARK.

Copenhagen, Dec. 24.—Our Court seems to carry on the warlike preparations on the sea coast with vigour. Besides the strait which divides Zealand from Sweden, known by the name of the Sound, the second passage into the Baltic, between the island of Zealand and Fionia, and commonly called the Great Belt, is to be fortified also. All along the coast, not only the batteries of Cronenborg are furnished with heavier cannon, but every point upon the Great Belt and the neighbouring islands, is likewise strengthened. Even a small island nearly in the middle of the Belt has been provided with very heavy artillery. All these measures, connected with the return of our troops from Holstein, make it appear evident what part our Government means to take in the great contest between the interests of the Continent and Great-Britain. These measures will exactly answer the purpose of the French Emperor, especially as the Danish Government intends to establish a cordon of Custom House officers all along the coast of Denmark, from the mouth of the Trave to Hamburg, to prevent the transit of English goods. In other respects, the ice for a long time will prevent any communication between the Baltic & the North Sea.
