Twiiroasow Morning, 41. 45m.... Afiasam. 55. 4m LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 11. Ir is to be hoped that the independent mem bers of the House of Lords will not be deterred by any amount of misrepresentation and obloquy from insisting upon bringing and keeping the action of the Government in the dispute between Denmark and Germany fairly under the con trol of Parliament. The conversation in the House of Lords on Tuesday night, and the com ments of a portion of the ministerial press, show how necessary it is that a firm stand be m►de on this point. The negotiations with the German Powers may commit us to onerous engagements ; they may lead to war, or they may make us parties to arrangements derogatory to the honour of the nation. Yet we are told that these matters are too delicate and difficult, in other words, are too important, to be openly talked of in Parlia ment. Ministers have doled out reluctantly, and only by driblets, the despatches that refer to stages through which the negotiations have long since passed, while those which are still of living practical interest are studiously and alto gether withheld. If the Houses of Parliament were mere learned ac►demies or historical societies, this treatment of them would be intelligible ; but if together they compose the Grand Council of the nation, it is a disparagement of their high func tious such as would be consistent enough with the character and professions of • RISMARcK, but is surprising indeed in a Russeu.. The noble SECRE TARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS referred on Tuesday to Lord DERBY'S request for further papers as to some singularly unreasonable demand. "It is " not for the advantage of the public," said Earl RCSSEII.," that papers should be constantly laid on " the table ;" and then he proceeded to designate the close or the interruption of negotiations as the proper periods when information of the kind de sired might be given. So that according to the noble lord, as long as a correspondence relates to what the Government is doing it must be withheld : when, through lapse of time and in the progress of events, it elucidates nothing but acts to which the Government has irrevocably committed the country, when it can supply only the materials for a party fight, and is of no practical utility whatever, it may be given. Such is the opinion of the noble SEuRZTARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS. We wish he had left it to be propounded by some Conservative Peer. The noble lord expresses complacency in his German correspondence lately published, and be lieves that it agrees with the spirit and opinion of the country. It is noticeable, however, that he withheld it as long as he could. We can remember despatches of which he has been justly proud, and which were given much more readily to the public. Earl RUSSELL hopes that Parliament will see that it is not fitting that papers should be given constantly. But whenever Par liament does its duty it will insist onaccompanying step by step measures of foreign policy which involve the interests and pledge the honour of the nation. Strange as it may seem to the noble lord, there are sensible people who hold that it would have been better if some of his recent despatches had been submitted to Parliament before, instead of months after, they were sent to their address. Of course we shall be told, by those whose office it is, that there is danger in this public treatment of public affairs. Those who undertake to praise the connivance and neglect of Parliament as moderation, and decry the sentiment of national dignity as popular prejudice and passion, will continue to write as if the nation could not safely be trusted with the knowledge of its own business. In time past, when our principal journals spoke for the public, before they had sunk to be the echoes of ministerial antechambers, these pretensions would have been scouted by the press ; and even now we doubt if there is • minis terial newspaper that would not, if it could, pub lish the latest despatches on the Danish question, in the full conviction that it was thereby render ing a service to the community. The favourite argument fur the present secret and irresponsible practice is, that if the nation knew all that was passing from time to time, it would become the creature of passion and impulse, and would rush into wars which under the present system are avoided. Such is naturally the belief of • set of men who have persuaded themselves and one another that they are the born leaders of the common herd of mankind. But the English nation has shown abundantly that it has the faculty of self command. Last year it followed with the liveliest sympathy the vicissitudes of the conflict in Poland, but as soon as it saw that higher interests than those which were involved even in the canoe of that much injured people required that this country should remain neutral, it acquiesced in the policy of the Government. Only it so** by that perience a lesson which it seems.puzleulce learn 4 all their superior wisdom, ha vi *in result of our diplomatic decoys with taught the country the misciforminnees at ad. vancing on • path which we could not follow to • worthy end, and the public have carried over the lesson, es Ministers have not done, to the a ff airs of 03 . 80 ;a7 and:Dsniaert. And et this moment it dues not wept the excellent intentions of the Foreign Minister as IV sufficient apology for a course of 'mg& which has made England dints tented with herself and powerless in Europe. Since the conversation in the House of Lords on Tuesday, intelligence has been received of another battle, disastrous to the Danes, as all betties must be under present circumstances. The conquest of Denmark is going on, and very soon the kingdom will be dismembered. If it must be my Ist it be so. It must never be said that we are so chicken hearted that we cannot stand by and see our best friends vivisected without wincing. But why we should rush wildly about Europe to be bam boozled by the Great, and kicked," bonneted," and bespattered by the Little German Powers, instead of preserving • dignified neutrality, is more then Ministers will be able to explain. If what we bear of by every mail from the North of Europe—de vutstion, bloodshed, rapine—be the result of our endeavours to " preserve the blessings of peace to " Europe," it is time to try again the forgotten experiment of minding our own business. Tea death of the King of Bavaria resembles in its suddenness and its cause that of King Frederick VII. of Denmark, upon which it follows so closely. Among the secondary sovereigns of Germany who aspired to direct the movement against Denmark, King Maximilian 11. was chief. That cause, how ever, owes so little to personal instigation, royal or otherwise, that his loss will not be much felt out of Bavaria. Maximilian was the son of Louis, the ex- King of Bavaria, and brother of Otho, the ex- King of Greece. He was born in 1811, and after being educated under the care of the illus trious Schelling, finished his studies at the Univer sity of Gottingen. The Prince took no active part in public affairs during his father's reign, but in March, 1848, the scandal caused by the King's con nexion with the courtesan Lola Montez made an abdication necessary, and Maximilian was suddenly called to the throne. The first year of his reign was marked by a number of liberal measures, such as it was the fashion with German rulers to adopt at that period. He granted a general amnesty for political offences, and gave the royal assent to a law declaring the responsibility of ministers. He also abolishel curries and fiefs, and proclaimed the liberty of the press. By 1849, however, things had taken a turn ; and Maximilian was free to follow the bent of his character. He demanded the expulsion of a number of members from the Chambers, dissolved the Die; and exiled several political writers without alleging any offence against them. In 1855, however, be became • little more liberal again. The last few years of his reign present no remarkable incident. Maximilian was a man of considerable intellectual culture, and devoted him self as ardently to philosophy as his father did to the arts. It was said a few years ago that he was writing a refutation of the system of Hegel. The new King, Louis 11., was born in August, 1845, and is thus in the 19th year of his age. gbt Qroun.

The last biographic despatches sbew that the Prussians and the Austrians have advanced in separate directions and that the Danes have hi both cases been forced back with loss. General , de Gablenz has established his head-quarters in advance, at Veils, which the Danes had occupied I previously. Veils is eonsiderably to the north of Frederica, which place has been left altogether on the east, the Austrians having advanced in a direct line from Holding. Advioes from Berlin announce that Colonel Calomier, who commands the artillery of the corps d'arm4e of Prince Frederic Charles, had been sent to that city by the prince to explain that the posi tion of Duppel was exceedingly strong, and that its capture would necessitate a long siege and be attended with great sacrifices. The prince conse quently declares that it will be better, after having well surrounded the entrenchments, to direct the efforts of the army against Fredericia, the conquest of which does not present so many di ffi culties. _ _ _ _ On the other hand the Prance attributes to the Austro-Prussian commanders the design of another course of proceeding. It says : In pressoce of the determined resolution of the Danes to defend themselves to the Let extremity, the Austro- Prussians are endeavouring to get ever the difficulty by a diplomatic combination, which, if successful, would not be wanting in skill. The general idea is that they will advance further into Jutland, which is with out defence, and avoid Fredericia, and, when once =sten of all that country, will propose to give it up on otedition of Duppel and Akan being surrendered to them without any attack. The Dania now not only lump in cheek before Duppel and Alma nearly the whole of the Austria. Primula forces, but compel them to assume before Europe the responsibility of the invasion of Jutland, and to modify in a very serious manner the original character of the war. (acorn's vasolans.)

The Emperor and the Archduke Maximilian went to Versailles this morning for a day's shooting. The Patric says that the archduke will not go out to Mexico, as had been announced, in the Austrian frigate Novara, but in the French frigate Themis, which is now being prepared for his reception at Toulon. The Novara will probably accompany the Themis as an escort. The France says that General &nine is coming home, and that the French expedition may be " considered" at an sad. There is a talk of a foreign legion, to include a great many French soldiers, who will obtain leave toenlist in it. I do not think any reasonable man can regard the position of the Mexican Emperor that is to be as secure with no better military arrangements than these. There is no change of moment at the Bourse. Yesterday's rise is fully maintained. M. Cordouen, the prucnreur•general who con ducted the prosecution of Greco and his accom plices, and to whose name so much attention has lately been directed in England, owing to his accu sation of Mr. Stansfeld, died last night after a very short illness. He was not an eloquent man, but bad the reputation of being a remarkably good administrator. Although technically he took rank after the Procureur-General of the Court of Cas eation, yet his position as the head of the parquet ) of Paris was in reality the most important in the magisterial hierarchy off the bench. Lieutenant Fleury, of the Guards, who it will be remembered was tried by a court-martial last year for the murder of his mistress, a laundress, in the Rue de Rocher, named Petit, has just had a new trial, the original sentence upon him having been quashed for informality. An attempt was' made to set up insanity as a defence, but the medical men consulted by the prosecution reported that the prisoner was not insane either now or at the time of the deed ; they were, however, of opinion, that the hereditary tendency to insanity in his family was sufficient to account for the moral weakness of his conduct. The court found him guilty of wilful murder, without pre meditation, and with extenuating circumstances, and sentenced him to ten years' imprisonment, military degradation, and surveillance for life. This is a lighter sentence than the firs; which awarded 20 years' imprisonment. PILOBABUL SATCIDAT.

The petition alleged that the return of Mr. Cargill had bees o b• tamed by tomes of bribery, treating, and undue balsams, sad Mr. Mitchell also claimed the ieat on the pound that the majority for Mr. Cargill was obtained by personation and other illegal means, and was therefore colourable, the real legal majority being in favour of Mr. Mitchell. The elections for the borough of late years had been somewhat notorious, and in consequence of what took place in 1869 a royal commission was issued to inquire into the state of the borough in July 1860. The commissioners pre. seated their petition in February, 1±4;1, cod they fou l ,' that sot only i n August, 1859, but in 1857, sod at at. eleisties I. April, 185% the most gross and eyetemati bribery had prevailed in the borough. In the course of the inquiry by the commieriou a man named 31.Willnam Were, who had bees the principal agent in bribing the voters, Wlll examined, but su bs equently absconded in order to crate further examination. On returning to this country after the oonimbeiconen had reported, he was arrested and committed for trial. Mr. Cooke—But he was acquitted. Mr. Webby said that the services of Juno had been employed on the late election, that he was the chief agent in coodncting _the bribery and trotting, and that he b e d again absconded. Another person named George Lock well, who at the time of the election wee a clerk at the Berwick Maio' of the North British Railway and took an acthe port io bribing the voters, had also bees spirited away since the petition wee presented. Under these circumstanced, owing to the absence of these men, and the difficulty of proving their agency by legal mesas , be proposed to go into a scrutiny of the votes in the first instance. He believed he should be able to strike off votes more than sufficient to give Mr. Mitchell a majority. Mr. Cooke objected to the course proposed to be taken by the couttael for the petitioner. and, referring to Mr. 114;a11, said be should be able to show from the clearest evidence that whatever the practices of that gentleman had bees, he had sever in the most remote manner bees employed as an ageot of the sitting member. The oommitte decided that the charge of bribery must be first proceeded with.

He, using his clear and indisputable right of doing what be pleased with his own, spent the greater portion of it by degrees during the long period of 18 years, partly upon various works of charity in which he was swaged, partly in building a church neer Cheadle, before the Oratory existed in Emend; partly in the promotion of the catholic faith and worship through the London Oratory, of which he was a founder and original member, and partly for his own private per. mein.
