Ir nations are indeed capable of profiting by political experience, a fact which some sober thinkers have denied, the difficulties which now embarrass oar foreign policy will not be forgotten when the disap pointment and vexation of the hour have passed away. It will be strange if, from our present danger, we cannot draw sonic lesson that may help us to future safety. There is no Englishman outof office who does not share to some extent the f ee li ng o f htimattion t o shame which the Earl of pay professed on nursclay night, although few will be found to acquit him of unfairness in the allotment of blame. We have set ourselves to uphold a Treaty ; we have advised Denmark, and she has taken all our advice ; we have remon strated with the German Powei, and our remonstrances have been set at nought. We have now only the alternative of humiliation, or • war waged at immense odds, opposed to great home interests, and not called for by public opinion. Barely this is a state of things which should make all Englishmen reflect on a policy which bears such fruits. Practical men, so-called, may be indifferent to the course of our diplo macy if they can only prevail at the critical mc• meat to prevent its rational development in • re sort to armed force. But any man whose se mil bilities as an Englishmen have not been hardened by the too exclusive pursuit of wer'th, must be anxious that peace may be maintained without these terrible sacrifices of national reputation. One enterprises have been too large for our means, and when the day of performance has come we have been found wanting. The cannot go on. We cannot have the policy of England assimilated to that of tho spendthrift who lives by bank ruptcy ; who launches into re Alms expenditure, becomes insolvent, goes through the court, and re-appears hilarious as ever, to enter on a new. career of extravagance. We must either greatly contract our international obligations or make a resolute effort to fulfil them. Earl GREY expressed the sense of most reflect ing politicians when he said, on Thursday night : " If we are satisfied that Denmark in the " right, it is a most serious determination on the " part of this country to say that we will look on " in tranquillity and apparent indifference while that " monstrous act of injustice is being perpetrated." There is no fear that the people of this country will ever look with tranquillity and indifference upon injustice in which they do not take part. But the political action of the Government must always rest on a calculation of the sufficiency of means to ends, and many persons who never thought so before are being led by the occurrences of the last few months to ask whether that absti nence from the affairs of other countries which Lord GREY so eloquently deprecated, is not be coming a necessary duty. We know the language which hu hitherto been held on this subject by those who control the affairs of this country. As often as large armaments are to be recommended to the House of Commons we are told of the greatness of England, of the place we fill amour the nations of the earth, and of the duties which we owe as members of the great European common wealth. We know also the lofty scorn with which those are visited who, like Mr. COBDEN, demand that British power shall be used only for British interests, and how ready is a servile prams to brand such • re quirement with the charge of selfishness and base ness. Bat what if we contrive to combine in our practice the worst features of both policies, and miss the advantages of each I Are the Poles, are the Danes any better off than they would have been—dothey get more help than they would have done—if Mr. GORDEN'S opinions bad prevailed? And if not, why not ? These questions deserve to be well weighed and fairly answered. It is intolerable that the nation should be responsible before the world for the magniloquent professions of the Government maintained up to the hour of action, and that just at the critical moment a Minister should rise in his place in Parliament and intimate that our own peculiar interesta are to be the I measure of our duties. A plain declaration to that effect, made in time, might be of immense ser vice to smaller States, who are, perhaps, too apt to think that when one of them is oppressed by a stronger neighbour England will not be the last power to help them, and in that belief, it may be, neglect to make arrangements which would ensure their safety. But coming at the last moment, a few months after public promises of help, its only effect is to cover us with shame, from which the policy so glibly charged with selfishness would at the least have saved us. Without asking Ministers to disavow principles in which they have been trained, the country is entitled to require them to take exact account of the circumstances in which the country is planed. The memorable declaration of Lord Paucsarrox, made last July, and which survives Mr. GLAD. Bronx's ingenious explanation, was undoubtedly made in the confidence that our allies, or a certain number of them, would be ready to maintain their own work. But events are making it plain that we cannot count on their cooperation in any cause which promises to bring them no profit. France will fight for a frontier, for a colony, for influence, or even for glory, but not for treaties, which her Government is very apt to discover are "impotent works." Russia has enough business on band at home in repressing Poles. Austria, once the bulwark of Conservatism in Germany, is borne away—it is the excuse of her statesmen—by a revolutionary German movement. And the King of Pavane is bent on showing that the rapacity of FREDIRICK. the GREAT is not inseparable from his militazy genius. It is to the honour of England that among such neighbours she is " isolated." But it is not for our honour to engage in undertakings to which no single Power is equal, and it is high time to look facts boldly in the face, and substitute for an impracticable and barren policy of meddlesome ness one of dignified and intelligible reserve. LATEST INTELLIdANtE. ITALY. The Unita Italiona of the 2nd publlahes an ar ticle under the title of "Military Force of Austria in Italy," and signed "Giuseppe Miumitti." The writer endeavours to prove that, in a war against Italy, Austria could not bring into the field more than 160,000 or 170,000 men at the moat. Italy could oppose to them, he affirms, a force of 300,000 men. In consequence, the article termi nates with the cry of "To Venice ! with purely Italian forces I To Venice ! for Italy and for Poland I" (MIMI 711.1191•300 THE WAR IN BLESWIG. HAMBURG, FEL 6, U. 90 Lc No news from the theatre of war has been re oeived here for the last three days. It is stated that the Prussians have formed a cordon in Sleewig, and allow no war intelligence to pass. Severe Sghting is supposed to be going on, as numbers of wounded are oonstantly brought into Rendsburg. . --- HAMBURG, Fn. 6. making gsticoessful defence. If the weather in fileswig is like that in Paris to-day--heavy snow thawing u it falls—the German army must be in a most uncomfortable position. The robbery of the Duke of Brunswick's diamonds has beoome complicated by a new incident. Since the jewels were taken from Shaw's person they have remained in custody at the Correctional Police. After the condemnation of the guilty party the duke applied for the property, but could nut obtain poaseesion of it, in consequence of an oppo sition having been lodged in the name of the reigning duke, who claims a great part of the jewels as belonging to the crown of Bruns* ick. A telegram received here from Kiel, dated yes terday evening, says : " The hilly ground in front of the whole Miasunde line has been taken by the Prussians. " The Austrians have advanced to Jahrdorf." ~a 2~~ _ lOll3 O 9 I): A y Uer ‘ i p • I FEBR Aity 6. 1864. CONVOCATION 07 THE PROVINCE AT CANTERBURY. Yesterday the convocation of the province of Oriaterbury assembled at Westminster. His Grace the lunhbidlop of Canterbury having opened the semion in the Upper House went to Queen Asses Bounty Mice, but am it was understood th►t so actual bushier was to be thinaseted, only two other pre. later were present. His Gees the Par meter? declared the Convocation adjourned until the 19th of April, and ordered that that decision should be communicated to the Lower House. In the Lower 8011914 although it had been generally under stood that no laminas would be transacted, there was an unexpectedly large mater 01 proctors and dignitaries in the Jeroaalem Chamber. . . The Ven7Arclade;eon Districos gave mottos that "at the earliest opportunity after the reopening of Coeval:slim, he should move that a eommittee of that house be appointed to consider the relations between the church and the Com mittee of the Privy Council on Education, and to report the same to that hones." The you. gentleman also gave natio, of a motion for the reoognition of the ancient rights of PrlebYters, " especially in cares of doctrine, eocksiastisal discipline, and ritual." The Rev. Chatteellor ILtanntoexan gave notice, for the venerable Archdeacon Thcep, " That his Grace the Presi dent and their lordahipe of the Upper Horne be requested to join in an humble address to her Maio* y, praying that her Majesty will commaad her Majes/ye sad the Carer either printers to print no more mphesr cif the Book of Com mas Prayer otherwiae than in confoemity with the bathe rimed copies commonly called ' the sealed book,' depmred by the authority of parliament in the INwer of Los and other plans. • A number of petitions were presented in reference to the burial savior, church discipline, and disarm synods. A report, occapyiig - 11pages TiTttki;;nbject of the bond servios oan only be b ri efly sumlnarised. It starts upon the broad facto of the right of Christian burial to all baptised, " unless they die excommunicate, or have laid violent hands on themaelves." The difficulties of the clergy 1161114 it pro em& to my, from the terms " unhaptisod," " excommuoi oats," and " have laid violent hoods on themselves '-" all of which dialealties are soamised in detail, though it is re marked that the demand for alimonies to the cyder has mainly arisen from the term " excommunicate." It dose not appear expedient to the committee to omit porticoes of the text, to change expression, to substitute another form, or portion of • form, for the regular memos ; to 011014 a declaratory Rubric, or one giving the clergy • dis cretionary power, or to repeal maw 68. The true remedy for the alleged difficulties is the use of some godly die oipffec b means of the church's courts. After an elaborate Meta retrospect of the question ia its present legal position, the committee conclude se follows :—Your committee, having d Z w t u o three principal facts, which are the result of th e :—" 1. Th at the came, oat of which the alleged ties in the use of the order for the Burial of the Dead have arisen, are for the most part cases of scandalous immorality of life. 2. That the legal machi. eery for dealing with all such cases by the oonrt spiritual, first by way of admonition of the offender, second by way of excommunication, is complete. 3. That no civil penalty or incapacity, save only that of impe + emoe.t for • term not exceeding six mouth', is allowed by the present We — they confidently recommend :—" The exercise of spiritual discipline, with modification of the existing law, as the legitimate sad effective remedy for alleged difil. oulties in the um of the Order for the Be-sal of the Dead, sad for the reproach and 'modal which the neglect of inch discipline has entailed opera the cher* ; but, in the judgment of your committee, it is essential to the re- storation of spiritual dieciplum to remove all manner of eivil_penalty or incapacity whatsoever from connexion with the beaten°, of excommunication. The practical result of such • state of the law would be that an evil liver might be excommunicated, so as to satisfy the excep tion of the itubrk, and ff he died unsbeolved, or in de fault of such absolution, died ' sad no man able to testify of his repentance' (ethos lxviii.), bit body would be ia i matter of civil t4ht, in the raToohiel burying groundd as without the service of the church. Bat, even in this case, let it be observed that in such withholding el the err vice, however solemn the entrain against sin, the aura ' yet prom:moss no judgment touching the final 'tete of the departed, es neither does she in the case of the unbaplised. inasmuch as the service is withheld from them, not as lost, but either as not patted into or as rightly oat off from the unity of the chureL Is conclusion, your committee would submit, that even if it were capable of proof that the griev ance upon the clergy of the alleged difficulties in the use of the order for the burial of the dead is as pest asigis repro mated to be, it would ill become the clergy to propose on this sesoent to surrender any portion of the Book of Com mon Prayer, which is the common inheritance of laity sad clergy alike. Your committee are not aware that them is any sufficient evidence to show that a desire exists on the part of the laity, or any considered and concerted wpm on the part of the clergy, that alteration should be made in the Book of Common kieyer. The ravine would appear to be the fact And they desire to record their judgment, that, seeing these things are so, it is not the duty of ammo cation, in a matter so pave in itself, and foU of such grave consequences to the chureh at large, to address itself to any such undertaking. la recommending, in place of any such course, restoration of spiritual discipline, your committee are persuaded that any such restoration must be gradual ; administered at no private discretion, but by competent tribunals, and according to fixed lees ; and they cherish the hope that, when the bearings of this question are clearly understood, the lay members of the church will cordially co-opus's in such restoration, as cotici4 ri to the best in terests, temporal and spiritual, of the to the glory Almighty God, and the advancement of truth. A long disorsiou sassed at the conelteion of the report. The Rev. Dr. JILT gave notice of a motion for the ear liest sitting of the house after the find day . of Lent for the consideration of the report, and a transmission of it officially to the President of the Upper House. The Teo. Archdeacon Denison moved that the report be printed and circulated among the memhers of the Lower Howe. _ _ The Bev. Sir Hwy Taozreon suggested a eoefereses with the Upper Hoene. Ultimately Dr. Juz gave nodes d a mastics to the effect that "This house do meow in the reeesonssodstion of the oaannittee on the buziel of the dead." The Vim. Archdeacon RANDALL read for the Chairman, who ass officiating r pro-Prolocator of the house, • report of the commutes appointed to consider the question at clerical enteeriptioa, and whether there are any grenade for objecting to the preset role of subscription as dein wore to the clergy ; end further, whether It might be im proved without endangering the definite faith of the Church of F.agland." The oromittee de net recommend an alteration in the subeniptioo to the Thirty-nine Arline' or the Thirty-sixth Cur ; bat with regard to the &intrados of assent and consent required from beneficed dormer ealy—a cleclaratiou the terms of which have at beet an ep. planar of going beyond the declared purpose of the sot— ** committee ere of opinion that the form of declaration in section 4of the rid act might be brought into wore close t with the general previsions of the act Iby being gr u e s e r i tZed : " A. 8., do here declare 'my sefeiga ed resat unto, and approbation of,' she book intituled the ' Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Seers meets mid other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church accord ing to the use of the Church of England ; together with the Psalter or Psalms of Devitt, ported •• eb.y are t o b e sung or said le Churches ; sad the Form or error of making, oedaining, sod consecrating of Bishops, Priests, and Deaccas.' And I do also here declare my re gent to ' the ase of all sad everything re tained and prescribed in and by the rid book." Boelt an alteration might, is the judgment of the commit ' tee, be made without endangersg the definite faith of the Church of England, and might obviate the objections which are sometimes taken to the terms of the present do. olearico. The committee are also of opinion that that portion of the act which requires leerier to repeat their reading of the Common Prayers with declaration of their assent thereto every mouth might advantageously be re pealed, inasmuch as it appears to the committee that there no longer exists any resort why lecturers should, in this respect, be placed in • different prince from incumbents of perishes." The Vegetable Archdeacon Randall gapve notice that be should move that the re• commendation of the committee be adopted by that house. The Venerable Archdeacon Drier gave settee of the following amendment :—"That so roach of the report as suggests an alteration in the presser rule of subscription be sot 'proved by this house." He asked leave to add Canon Wordsworth's name to the committee. Agreed to. The Von. PRo-Psowarros read • communication front the Prolocutor tendering his migration. This letter, which seemed to take the members by sur prise, was ordered to be entered on the minutes, and the prorogation then took place.

Advices received here from Kiel this morning by the Boreenhall state that the object of the engagement at hfissnnde on Tuesday (the 2nd) was a reconnaissance to discover the strength of the Danes, and what likelihood there was of their re sistance. The Prussians were prevented by the fog from fleeing the lower Danish entrenchments. The Danes on the other hand were quite able to observe the masses of Prussian troops. The Prussians thus came too near the heavy artillery of the enemy. Two Danish sorties were repulsed. The loss of the Danes is not known, but they left a few prisoners in the hands of the Germans. The Prussians lost five officers killed, and 15 to 20 wounded, with 20 to 30 men killed. The total loss in killed and wounded was from 120 to 130 men. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MON OUR OWE PARIS, FILIDAT EVIIMIG; There was great excitement at the Bourse to-day upon the news that Consols had risen and that Lord Russell had assured the House of Lords that England had not only made no " promise " to Den mark, but bad not even given her reason to "hope" for any material assistance. A large speculative I business was done at greatly advanced quotations. The highest prices of the day were, however, not maintained, owing to a telegram from London mentioning a rumour in the " city " that 2,000 English soldiers were under orders for Copenhagen. Upon the strength of this news very heavy sales were made within the last few minutes of business. Rents finally closed with a rise of 35c. for cash, and 20c. for account, at 661 r. 35c. and Mr. 40c.

We read in the France : The Foreign-office has interfered right and left in the Deno-German conflict. It has encoureged Denmark; it has written note after note to the German powers to pre vent them from attacking Sleswig ; it has protested, con jured, threatened. And now, after all, Lord Russell declares himself freed from any engagement towards Dille mark ; and Lord Palmerston lays hold of the declarations lately made by Austria and Prussi► to show that these powers are ia reality friends of Denmark, and have no thought of brushing up the Danish monarchy. What can be thought of a power which accepts with submisidoe and almost with gratitude conduct spinet which It but the other day protested with all its might ? The Opinion Nationale attributes the dead lock of English policy to the family alliances of the Queen, and quotes from the international of London s paragraph attributing to her Majesty the expres sion that she would rather abdicate than allow a single ship to sail against Germany. It then says : Denmark may be indigene; bat what tan she do?

There is, however, sa axtract given from a despatch addressed by Earl Cowley to Earl Russell on the 28th of November, in which, after stating that he bad communicated to M. Droops de Lays Earl Rumell's despatch giros the rum why her Majesty's government could not swept the invitation to the eosins, Lord Cowley adds :—"M. Dronyn de Lays, atter perusing your lordship's dispatch, said that be eould not bet express' his dissent from the ressoning which bad led her Majesty's government to the decision which your lordship's despatch announced. He still retained the opinion that the assembling of a congress would have been the best means of settling the questions which now agitate Europe. It would be melees, however, to prolong the discussion. The mind of her Majesty's government appeared to be made up. He would communicate your lordship's despatch to the Emperor." The "Correspondence minting to Poland" is also, so far as oar goverment is coucerned, known to Eighth readers. There is a brief note in the paper published to-day from Lord Napier, in which ha states that he has given Earl Bea son's despatch to Prince Gortchakoff, and adds :—" The Vice-Chancellor reed your lordship's despatch through aloud without offering any remark. At the conclusion his excel bossy observed that in the communisation with which I was charged he saw a proof of the friendly disposition of her Majesty's government, and an act conformable to the true Interests of Poland, for the moderation of her Malesty's go vernment must discourage the exaggerated expectations of the revolutionary pasty, and hasten the moment when the Emperor would be enabled to carry into effect his benevo lent intectioes towards his Polish subjects."
