THE prospect that a Conference without a basis would effectually redress the wrongs inflicted on a small but independent State by two powerful military despotisms, has never been regarded as a very hopeful one by any except the most sanguine and short-sighted political observers. All that could fairly be anticipated was, that it would sacrifice the weak to the strong in a more formal and deliberate manner, as well as under somewhat more reasonable conditions, than could have been looked for had the war been allowed to run its course and terminate in the usual way by direct negotiation between the belligerent/. Whether the Conference will actually succeed in effecting even this meagre result, is at the present moment ex tremely doubtful, more uncertain, if possible, than it has been at any time since the sittings commenced. Until it finally breaks up, however, there is of course always a chance that its deliberations may terminate in some settlement more or less satisfactory. It must be admitted, moreover, that its proceedings up to the present time have not been wholly barren of result. The Conference has arrested active hostilities for a pe riod of six weeks, though if the war is to recom mence at the expiration of that time, this is a very doubtful advantage for Denmark. Than, again, it has virtually destroyed the Treaty of London, and sacrificed the integrity of the Danish Monarchy, which the signataries of that treaty unanimously declared twelve years ago to be an essential condi tion of European peace and order, and thus a pri mary object of international policy. The project of a personal union between Denmark and the Duchies has been brought forward only, however, to be so effectually quashed that it is hardly likely to be revived again either now or hereafter. The principle of dividing the disputed territory has been virtually accepted by all the members of the Conference, and the neutral Powers in their capacity of mediators have very properly assumed the responsibility of indicating where in their judg ment the line should be drawn, giving at the same time the grounds of their decision. After acknow ledging the sacrifice which such a loss of territory would entail on Denmark, the neutral Powers say in their formal declaration to the Conference : "But to justify so great a sacrifice on the part of " Denmark, and in order to maintain the hide " pendence of the Danish monarchy, it is desirable, " according to our opinion, not to draw the iron " tier line further north than the mouth of " the Schlei and the Danneweike." The Danish Government hesitated to accept this line, onthe obviousground that the port of Eckern forde and the small peninsula of Sumac* were almost essential to the defence of the Schlei. But eventually, in order to promote a settlement, this lower line was given up, and Denmark has now contingently accepted in its integrity the proposal of the neutral Powers. The declaration of the Danish Plenipotentiaries in the Conference suffi ciently shows, however, that this concession must, for obvious and irresistible reasons, be regarded as their ultimatum. The mediating Powers and one of the belligerents are thus agreed not only on the principles, but on the details of the proposed division. Under these circumstances it would seem as though the difficulties in the way of a settlement had almost vanished, and that there ought, there fore, to be no serious doubt as to the result. Instead of this being really the case, however, the prospect of • pacific solution appears to be as remote as ever. Germany still resists the proposal of the neutral Powers, and hopes by holding out to secure in the end a larger slice of Danish territory. In this condition of affairs everything depends on the firmness and unanimity of the mediating Powers in adhering to their own proposal If they resolve to maintain the line of the Schlei, which they have declared essential to the independence of Denmark, and announce this resolution in the Conference, there can be little doubt that Germany will yield, and a settlement be effected on the basis of their own proposal. If, however, the neutral Powers waver, Germany, doubtless, still hold out, the Conference break up without result, and the war inevitably recommence. IT is believed that the plot for overturning the Government which has occupied the active spirits of the Parliamentary Opposition, and been the talk of the town for the last few days, has broken down and been abandoned by its authors in sheer despair. A craftily worded resolution, adapted to the prevalent feeling on the subject of Denmark, but so contrived as not to commit its supporters to any tangible policy or even to any particular cause, has been in circulation, and the name of an honourable baronet of respectability was mentioned as ready to move it, if such a course were thought politic. But, if we are correctly informed, the scheme has failed through the refusal of • large number—it is said as many as sixty—of the most respectable members of the Conservative party to have anything to do with a movement for turning a national reverse to party profit. A bumi attempt to ascertain the opinion of the House of Commons respecting the Danish question, and then bring it to bear practically on the action of the Government, would deserve the utmost support. But nothing was further than this from the intention of these plot ters, who zealously support a system under which Parliament evades its proper responsibility in re spect of the administration of our foreign affairs, and only want to take advantage of the ill success of honest etTcrta put forth in s cause approved by the country. The Conf,r- , nce will not meet today, as arranged at the last sitting, but to-morrow. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1864. ffbc eoun. WINDSOR CASTLE, Jos' 14.

" PROBATI Durr.—That the stamp duties chargeable by law on gnats of probates of wills or letters of administra tion in England and Ireland, and on inventories in Scotland, of the estate and effects ol any person deceased, shall be charged and paid in respect of the value of any ship, or any share of a ship, belonging to any damsel person which shall be registered at any port in the United Kingdom, notch's.

THE MEETING OF THE SOVEREIGNS. The Debats of to-day contains the following re marks : It is quite natural to suppose that the meeting of the three sovereigns of the North, accompanied as they are by their principal ministers, is not without some political els jest. What influence will this interview have on the set- Gement of the question on which the London Conforms°e is engaged! How will it affect the other questions connected with the general policy of Europe? From this point of view it is well to note the indications of the German, and especially of the Austrian press. Accord ing to the Wanderer, the result of the Conferee.e will be the conclusion of the bases of a treaty by which the three powers would reciprocally guarantee their Polish territories according to the plan of Prince Gortchakoff. The Prose of Vienna regards the meeting at Kiseingen and Carlsbad from a more general and a more important point of clew. "Itis a European necessity," gays this journal, " that the three great conterminous states, whose interest. are in many respects parallel, should come to an under standiog amongst themselves, and agree upon a common intern►l as well an external policy. Austria, Ruasia, and Prussia, by allowing themselves to be played off one against the others have remained too long in a state of entire isola tion. It is time that this separation should cease, and that a strong dam should be erected to break the current of tumultuous movement. and to secure the free development of States and the peace of Europe from the surprises of a policy of liberation." If we are to interpret literally the programme of the Austrian journal, it may be considered as an invitation to the formation of a New Holy Alliance. Fortunately, this journal gives us an assurance that in the present state of affairs, " neither Austria, nor Russia, nor Prussia is in a condition to attempt any aggressive move meet against France or Italy or, the liberal institutions in their own States." This is quite enough for us. We shall soon know what effect the interview will have in promoting or impeding the work of the London Conference. THE DRAWING ROOM.

POLAND. The Official Journal of Warsaw of June 8 con tains the following notification : By the terms of the imperial ukase of 1850 the Polish refugees abroad are subject to sentence par cost umace, and their properties are confiscated. The number of persons who are marked as absent in the registries of population without say known cause renders it necessary that a sernpnlons invstigatio• ohotild be made with • view of ascertaining whether these persons should not be regarded as refugee., and as coming within the meaning of the ukase of 1850. The chief of police in Warsaw has therefore this day ordered a strict search to be made in all houses respecting the situation of absent persons—taking first the registers of population as the basis of inquiry, and next putting such questions as may be considered neeemary to their relatives and servants. By this means it will be ascertained whether the absent person is not coming back, where he is now, what and where his property is, what are the motives of his absence, and whether the facts do not justify the application of the severities of the law of 1850. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A Constantinople letter states that one of Prince Couza's principal objects is to emancipate the Moldo-Walhichian church from the authority of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and to establish an absolutely independent church in the Priaci palities. ROME. A letter from Rome, in the Patrie, relates the following incident : The pontifical gendarmes on the frontier of Cores, had for some time past been trying to gain over one of the eustoras' men from the Bailee post opposite. They at length succeeded in inducing one to desert—a man who bid formerly left the Austrian army to take service in Italy. He was immediately taken to Rome and placed at the dis posal of the director of police, Colima's'. This skilful de fender of the temporal power, emboldened by the suc cess of the Venenzi-Fausti affair, immediately roes. rosoced en investigation, hoping to obtain the key of the means of correspondence which the police imagine to exist between the Italian patriots on the frontier of Cores*. He was, however, not more fortunate this time than at the discovery of the Roman committee. During that famous trial the majority of the documents disappeared ; this time the inatruulent itself was found to vanish. When on the following morning Collemassi seat for the customs officer who had been lodged in the St. Anne Barrack, the deserter was no longer there. He had been carried off that very morning in a carriage ; and at the moment in wt.ith the pontifical director of police was sending for him, he was already on the Italian territory in safe custody.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR AND THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. Om on owx PARIS. ToesDAy Emma. The Emperor came from Fontainebleau last night, and slept at the Tuileries, where the flag indicated his presence this morning. He gave an audience to M. de Budberg, the Russian ambas sador, who immediately afterwards started for Kissengen, to meet the Emperor of Russia. The story of the Gazate de France ; that the Czar was to be in Paris this week, was simply a canard. The Emperor presided at a ministerial council. Possibly some faint indications of what passed at this council may be collected from the following article in this evening's Pays: Several journals have pretended that at the sitting of to-morrow France will abandon her attitude of reserve and propose to the Conference a plan for • compromise. These journals are completely in error. There is no reason why France should change her attitude and her language. She will be to-morrow what she has bee. hitherto--•lwaya desirous to see the effort. of the Conference lead to a durable pesos. She will frankly, loyally support every project which the cabinet of London may put forward with a view to the conclusion of this pesos which is the common object of all the neutral plenipotentiaries. But she will not depart from the prudent line of conduct which she has imposed upon herself from the very commencement of the contest. We have already had occasion to point out the immense difference between the general coesequences which would ensue from • too active interference of France in the affair of the Duchies, and the limited results of an ulterior participation of England in the struggle between Denmark and Germany. On the day when France should sesame in the Conference an attitude engaging her moral responsibility, her dignity and honour might impose upon her the obligation of sustain ing her opinion by the force of arms. Bat then that would be a general war, i.e., one of those terrible nutrias, in the face of which, in these days of pro- gress, intelligence, industry, and commerce, every civilised nation must pause. An armed intervention by England would not be the same thing. It might be purely maritime. It would be • naval combat, or perhaps only • coast blockade. Perhaps it might resolve itself into as attack upon Trieste and Hamburg, which would not loog resist the British navy. There would be commercial dis uters, considerable material loss, but nothing more. What as we add to justify these brief explanations? We think they suffice to explain the difference in the attitude and language of France and England. This difference does not imply the &lightest die/roma in their views. It only shows • difference in the situation. There fore, although acting and speaking differently in the Con ference, their efforts are not the less united, so far as it is possible for them to act in common, with the view of re establishing peace in the north of Europe. This article is certainly very ominous. A war between England and Germany, leaving the French Emperor aloof and at liberty to cut in when and how he pleased, would realise one of the dearest wishes of his heart, and be one of the greatest calamities which could afflict the world. The Bourse remains heavy, with very little change. The famous Polish General Dembinski, who has resided in Paris for nearly 15 years, died yesterday at the age of 73. He was till lately extremely vi gorous. I met him not many weeks ago in the Champs Elysdea, dressed in the braided blue frock coat which be habitually wore, rolling his eagle eye, and with little of the old man about him except his white beard. The consumption of horseflesh is increasing in France; not, however, in consequence of the preaching of certain members of the Institute, who strive in vain to dispel the prejudice against it. No body in Paris (always excepting the members of the society formed by the amateurs aforesaid) would eat horseflesh if they knew it. But this aliment is con stantly consumed by the public unwittingly in the form of Lyons and Arles sausages. A Lille journal, the Propogatewr die Nord, says that a certain well-known knacker lately consigned as much as 30,0001 be. to Paris in the course of a single week. This news confirms the old story of a sausage-maker who, being prosecuted for adulterating his merchandise, said that he did not use horseflesh to save himself the cost of other meat, but because it gave a peculiar flavour to the sausages which his customers re quired, and because he found by experience that sausages made without an admixture of horseflesh were unsaleable.

FORSTER moved the seotood reading of this bill, the object of which was to do away with the forfeiture of the goods and lands of meow convicted of felony. He excepted the case of persons eciovicted of the crime of treason in order to avcid the opposition of the ley Aims of the crown. The penalty of forfeiture attached to the smallest felooiei, whilst persons guilty of the gravest misdemeanours were exempt from any such penalty. (Hear, bear.) He con. tended that it was wrung iu principle to punish the innocent for the crime of the guilty, and this was the case when the families of felons were deprived of their lands or goods.

The addition is specially acceptable at this moment, since time had scarcely permitted the bank to get into full and efficient operation.

The internal riches and resources of Turkey afford abundant field for legitimate eoterprise. The I various branches taken over from the Ottoman Bank have continued to yield a satisfactory return.
