LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 31. THERE can no longer be any doubt that England has not only given up the London Treaty, but formally proposed in the Conference a settle ment based on the dismemberment of the Danish monarchy. The proposition is, we be lieve, that the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg, with a slice of Sleswig, should be constituted into a separate state, the remainder of Sleawig being permanently incorporated with the Danish monarchy. We have no wish to speak of this arrangement in any harsh or hostile spirit, nor do we propose at the present moment to dis cuss its intrinsic merits or demerits. Had it been arrived at by direct negotiation between the belli gerent*, and thus appeared in its true character as the unfortunate, but perhaps unavoidable result of a disastrous and most unequal war, it would no doubt be entitled to respectful, and even favourable consideration as the avowed termination of a war of conquest. But that the dismemberment should be not only @mo tioned, but actually proposed, by the very Power that has in a special sense constituted itself from the first the guide, philosopher, and friend of the Danish monarchy, is an instructive commentary on the pretensions we make to regulate the affairs of the world. Six, or even three, months ago, every Englishman would have scouted with just indignation the bare supposition that England would ever, under any circumstances, take the responsibility of proposing the partition of the Danish State. A year has not yet elapsed since Lord Pm.massrost exposed in Par liament the sinister intrigues of the German Powers ; denounced in energetic language their rapacious designs, and concluded with the famous declaration that if the Danish monarchy were attacked, Denmark would not be found alone in the struggle. There was an intelligible ground for this sort of language, as we were at the time pressing unwelcome proposals on the Danish Go vernment, on the implied understanding that their acceptance would ensure our active support. During the recess the vigorous despatches of the FOREIGN Sacarrsav well maintained the high tone taken by the head of the Government in Perlis ment. We still counselled concessions at Copen hagen, holding at the same time language of very decided warning and remonstrance towards Ger many. At our instigation, and expressly in order that Federal execution might be stayed, the Danish Government recalled the March patent by which it had established a separate administration for Holstein and Lauenburg. But Federal execu tion went en notwithstanding. We protested still more strongly against the invasion of Sleewig, and in order to arrest it induced the Danish Govern ment to give a pledge respecting the revoca tion of the November constitution. But our protests and promises, instead of delaying the threatened invasion even for an hour, only accele rated the movements of the German Powers in the field, and were diplomatically repelled with cynical coolness and disdain. In like manner at every stage of the conflict—at the attack on Duppel, and at the invasion of Jutland—we have denounced afresh the bad faith and injustice of the German Powers, have remonstrated and pro. tested, and in the end counselled new concessions or made fresh proposals. At length, all these efforts having failed to arrest the progress of an unjust and desolating war, instead of acknow ledging our utter inability to help the cause we believed to be just we assembled a Conference, and from that moment all that has followed might have been foreseen, and was, in fact, predicted with words of solemn warning. Our diplomatic efforts within the Conference, during the last six weeks, have run exactly the same course they did out of it daring the previous six months. There has been no manomvring, everything has proceeded just as was foreseen, until at last, having assem bled a Conference for the purpose of upholding the London Treaty and maintaining the integrity of the Danish monaruhy, we formally propose to set aside the one and destroy the other. If it is asked, how we could have avoided occu pying this position, except on the alternative of war, the answer is easy. If we were re po' ved not to give material aid to Denmark, the proper and becoming course would have been to withdraw from active interference in the struggle when our representations were no longer treated with respect. If we were powerless to help Den mark, we might at least have abstained from any direct participation, any moral complicity in the injuries inflicted on her by a violent and unscru pulous foe. When our strongest protests and remonstrances against their lawless acts were treated by the aggressors with mingled insolence and levity, our only dignified and consistent course was to retire at once from the useless and humi liating struggle, and leave the full responsibility of their conduct on their own heads. Instead of this, at every fresh rebuff we have officiously persisted in making fresh efforts to gain a hearing, in offering fresh concessions and makingnew proposals. This unworthy and humiliating policy has now reached its culmination. We insisted on presanigthe powers that had insulted us into a Conference, if not on our terms, at all events on their own, and we see the result. As the aggressors refused to be fettered by any conditions or to enter the Con ference on any basis save the right of conquest, they have naturally carried thicgs with a high hand, and done very much as they liked. Under such circumstances all that could be hoped or ex-' posted was that they might be induced to accept some alight modification of their own defends, end ea bland had amenthled the Con ference, the task of bringing forward the modified proposal wouldnalareilly and aa a matter of course fall to her lot. We are thus made directly respon sible for the tearing up of a European treaty scarcely a dozen years old, and for the violent dis memberment of an ancient, independent, and con stitutional State. Acts of violence which, had we abstained hum interference,would have retained their proper character, will now receive a Euro pean sanction. The result to ourselves will, there is too much reason to fear, be something far more serious than a mere temporary lom of dignity, position, and influence. By following this per nicious course we formally recognise and endorse a policy of high-handed violence which, if carried oonaiatently out, would be fatal to the existence of every small, independent state, of every free and constitutional kingdom in continental Europe. nue is, we cannot help thinking, on all accounts to be deeply deplored.

All hate were takes off as the last occupant of the first named earrings, leaning on the arms of km two grandsons, Count de Paris and Count d'Ea, passed to the chapel, looking pale, dignified, and placid se ever.

Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar gave " The Health of the Queen, the Prince sad Prim= of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The park at this point was thrown open by the liberality of the Orleans family to the public, and there all classes, from the prince to the cement, were to be seen mingled together. In the grounds fronting the house the Mod of the Royal Surrey Militia also performed during the UM and the Faber school children were draws up in front of the house.

The Pays says that Denmark will not consent to reign the blockade unless the Prussians evacuate Jut mad. The Stele calls attention to the importance of the electoral campaign which begins on Jane 18, for the nomination of a first series of new members of the councils-general. Satirically observing that the notice given is only just the legal minimum, it still hopes that the opposition will find time for effectual organisation. The scarcity of independent candidates which on former occasion enabled the government nominees to walk over the course is not now to be apprehended, be cause the last general elections for the Legislative (Torts proved that in spite of multiplied difficulties, and although the right of public meeting does not exist, it is both practicable and safe for opposition candidates to appeal to the constituencies. There can be no doubt that the augmentation of the opposition members in the chamber from five to five-and twenty has produced an immense revival of political feeling in the country, the result of which will pro duoe a marked effect upon the local elections now coining. The Moniteur condescends to pander to the ignorance and narrow-minded jealousy of a portion of the French public by representing that the demonstration against File de l'Air, which oc curred at Epsom, was provoked by the fact of her being a French mare ; and it complacently con trast, to the advantage of French civilisation and courtesy the applause which saluted the English horse Ranger when he beat La Touoques at Bureaus, in June last year. The editors of the Moniteur must know perfectly well that Alla de l'Air was hissed, not because she was French, but because (rightly or wrongly) the public believed that she had been " pulled " in a former race, in order to dissimulate her power of running. Plenty of French bones have gained races on the English turf before without any such brutal notion u that of waking a set at them on account of their na tionality having occurred to any of the spectators. I do not suppose, however, that the Moniteur will care to rectify its error. It has been already stated that Ifeysrbeer's will made provision for the speedy production in Paris of bis great unpublished opera Vet friaries. It is now said that M.
