Whether we look , therefore, to the letter of treaties or the aims of policy, we must alike de precate the baseleasnem and folly of Eng land's undertaking , at the expense of its blood and treasure, the question of the se h par atihich on of two portions of th e Danish peninsula, wit w English honour, duty, or interests have as much to do as they have to do with the siege or the site of Troy. France, by.the-bye, is as much bound by the treaty of 1720 as England. France has a fleet and troops. Has she stirred ? Has M. LAMARTIPIE menaced? We will be bound to say that the French Minister of Foreign Affairs hasp rudently avoided any such provocation. The great probabiliof the figure, in the north and east of Europe, ia. war between Russia and Germany. Our own accounts of this day render it most likely. In that war Denmark wil l, no doubt, be joined with Russia—that is the northern and island provinces of Denmark, for Holstein and its annex of Schleswig will as infallibly side with Germany. In such a contingency and collision, where is our guaran ., Of what use our intermeddling ? Is it not Jur first and greatest interest to preserve a neutral attitude and position, not only for the peace of this empire, the economy of its governme, and for our own trading interests, but for the great interests of peace? For by taking the tone and atti tude of a belligerent, we are incapacitating ourselves from mediating. By entangling England in petty squabbles, and in minor aims of second-rate policy, more belonging to the last century than to this, and to Hanover than to England, the country will be barred of the right and possibility to enact the great part, when such will be required, for the pacification of Europe. What a contrast, too, and what a dis grace to the government of an old constitutional monarchy like England, to find it playing the rash and puerile part, whilst the republican leader of France i s pursuing the moderate, the abstinent , an d wise policy which England, its government , and its press have lost sight of !

I assured my informant that some wag had been hoaxing him, and declined to incorporate his in teresting communication with my despatches. The following decree, however, which actually appears in the columns of the Moiliterer :his evening, proves that the matter was no joke : " The Provisional Government, considering that the principle of equality implies uniformity of costume for the citizens called to the same functions, decrees : The representatives of the people shall wear a black coat, a white waistcoat with lappets, and a tricoloured sash with gold fringe. They shall also wear in the buttonhole on the left side a red ribbon, in which shall be worked the fasces of the Republic." It remains to be seen how the bishops, domiuican friars, and other ecclesiastics, catholic and protestant th , who are elected , will look when they put on e double-breasted white waistcoat, " a la Robespierre." The apprehensions which I have so often lately de scribed to prevail respecting another conflict in the streets are daily augmented. The alarm becomes general and not without r eason. Yesterday the wall were placarded with hundreds of thousands e " Batches," on paper of all the colours of the rainbow addressed to " The Conquerors of the Hostile," by society calling itself "'the Society of the Rights t Man and Citizen," and bearing a number of signa tures, among which was that of " Barbes," the Colonel of the 12th legion of the national guard, and member of the Assembly fur the department of the Oude. 'Chia document, after invoking the declaration of rights of man, promulgated by Robespierre in thus addresses what it cells the privileged classes: " The ancient social form has disappeared; reign of privilege has passed away. if the privileges you claim were legally acquired by you, they will r avail you now, for the laws which esanfer them , you were of your own making.

The creation of property in that, in which all nature and the traditions and practice of all nations have proc:aimed no pro perty to exist, would be a very hazardous experiment. Such a statute would carry very little conviction to the mind of D ARB Y the poacher. Notwithstanding its enactments, he would continue to regard the sheep which farmer Srenutsis can identify and establish his claim to, as something very different from a hare, which may be my lord's to-day, the squire's to-mor row, and the parson's the day after, and which, in all probability, lives on turnips and potatoes belonging to none of the three. Ga me has, In a live state, none of the attributes of property : it cannot be identified h ; it cannot be confined; it cannot be posseseed wit certainty ; it cannot be transferred; it is not an object over which human volition has power; its birth can not be ascertained; for its nurture no human being is either morally or legally responsible ; on ith mnoove ments there is no restraint; and on its body one has the smallest claim. What absurdity, then, to on talk of making it prope rt y ! Bythe same isle and the like principle tomtits and minnows ought to be made property. The legislati‘a would be just as rational in their can a as in those of partridges and hares. The ground on which it is cla med to make game property is only partially true. It does subsist that on the produce of the la nd ; but not altogether on produce which: is the result of agricultural cultiva tion. Partridges and pheasants live on grubs and in sects as well as on grain ; and hares consume wild ro ots and leaves as well as turnipo and potatoes. They only prefer the food of man and cattle because it is at certain seasons more plentiful and more acces sible ; but rats for the same reason live in stacked corn, and make serious inroads on it too ; but would any one think of giving the 'squire property in them because they lived at his tenant s expense ? But game is food. It is so ; but it is food the pre servation and extension of which lessens the amount of those sorts of food on which the great bulk of a nation must subsist ; and it is not preserved and in tended as food, but as the object of sport. Th e Fame order of men who preser ve pheasants preserve Coat a likewise ; and for the very game reason : that it makes their country residences a tt r active, and fur nishes them w ith ru ral amusements. The pretence of game being food is therefore more untenable than the argument that game is maintained by those who claim the exclusive privilege of killing it. The truth is that neithe r is the real reason Mr wishing to make g ame property. 'rim pro the dif poon arises from a desire t o thereb y escape from fi culties of the game law question, which are undoubt \ edly great—all the g reater, perhaps, because its main evils are social rather than legislative. Though the maintenance of morality amongst the rural popula tion is of far more national importance than the main tenance of field spor us amongst their betters; field sports I must not be undervalued nationally ; for they affect the character of a large and influential part of the community. The problem is how to reconcile the two. The entire abolition of the game laws to-mor row would not get rid substantially of poaching ; fur so long as game exists there will be the temptation to kill it; and to allow the squire's land to be overrun by all the village lads, armed in its search, would be intolerable to the squire, injurious to society, and de moralising to themselves. Abolish the game to w s, and a more stringent trespass law would havb enacted; and the infrin game,w gementould of substantially the latter, when caused by he poaching. To leseen the temptation to poach, much may be done by legislation. Mr. Col t is at pre sent doing something, and Sir G. Gael; promises to do something more; and still more is to be done by social influence. 'rile amount of game fostered and preserved is far too large—too large in reference to its effects on agr i cu ltural productions — too large for sporting pur posts. The first social step in the diminution of poaching, and consequently in the lowering of poor's rate, is to reduce the am ount of g ame now preserved. The landowners ought to do this of themselves, but as they never will, a law must be introduced for the purpose, and that law, even if it go the length of in terference with property, will be carried, for the enormity of the abuse requires it. It is nut eough to allow tenants to k ill hares; landlords must give up preserving pheasants as they now do; they must aban don their bad practice of converting their woods into a sort of hen-house, and their gamekeepers into poul try-watchers, and be content again to take the field, dog and gun afoot. They cannot be permitted to corrupt their fellow-creatures and to fill our gaols by enlarging their stock o f pheasants. When govern ment itself has in parliament censured the practice and ascribed much o f the evils of poaching to it, how can it survive ? Whilst such a feeling is grow ing, it is surely the height of imprudence to urge a n -etment making game property. IN consegeence of the attempt to throw discredit upon the statement made by the hon. member for the West Riding, as to the length of time during which our large line-of-battle ships lie at anchor at Malta, he moved for a return from t he Admiralty, which has been laid upon the table of the house, and which throws additional light upon the matter. it appears that the vessel, the Caledonia, of 120 guns, which he saw in Malta harbour in November, 1836, and again, on his return from Egypt, in March, 1837, was ac tually lying moored there from the 11th of October to the 26th of May. By the same official return we in that the Princess Charlotte, 104 guns, was lying in Malta harbour from the Bth of November, 1838, to the 20th of May, 1839. The Queen, 110 guns, was comfortably at anchor in the same place from the 7th of October , 1842, to the 15th of Sept, 1843, upwards of 11 months. This vessel had 900 persons of all descriptions o n board. But the moot curious part of this return refers to Admiral PARKER'zi flag ship the Hibernia, 104 guns, which was lying at anchor in Malta harbour from Au g . 26, 1845, until March 28, 1816. It will be recollected that Admiral Du: MS, in replying to Mr. COBDEN in the house, quoted a communication from Admiral PARKER, who is at present the Admiral of the Fleet in the Mediter ranean, repellieg the accusation of idleness made against the ships of war at Malta by the hon. member for the West Riding ; but it turns out by this return that the gallant admiral's own ship, with 807 persons on board, was lying for seven months:and two days in harbour • thus affording proof :that the idleness in our ships Of war , in 1836, commented upon by Mr. COBDEN 111 MandleSter, has not been converted into very active industry to the present time. ITALY. LOMB ARDY.—The riedinonteBeGarette of the 27th states that Gen. Durand° was ordered with his division to the Frioul. The Austrians, having made an at tempt to take possession once more of the northern point of the lake of Garda, by disembarking at Ponale, were repulsed at the point of the bayonet by the column 'f hamberg.
