IT has been remarked more than once during the progress of the Danish war that the German Powers in their resolute crusade against • free and constitu tional kingdom must surely be sustained by powerful sympathetic influences, if not by direct assurances of support, which are unknown to the world at large. Even a BISMARCK, it is generally felt, would hardly have ventured to disregard so com pletely the remonstrances and even threats of the Western Powers, if he had not been secretly conscious of being able to rely, in cue of need, on the active intervention of some formidable ally. The apparently sincere, though somewhat reserved, co operation of Russia with the Western Powers rendered it extremely difficult to understand whence the anticipated assistance was to come. A clue to this mystery appears, however, to be at length supplied in the shape of a confidential cor respondence which has been going on during the last four months between the Cabinets of St. Petersburg, Berlin, and Vienna, important por tions of which have just come to light. Refe rences to this correspondence, and even extracts from some of the documents, have already been made in foreign journals, for the purpose of ex plaining the obstinate persistence of Prussia and Austria in their policy of conquest, and the failure that has hitherto attended the pacific efforts of the Western Powers. But we have reason to believe that the correspondence itself justifies far stronger condusions than have yet been drawn sato the double .bar•cter of Russian policy, and the active part which the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has from the first taken in stimulating the German Powers, and affording them every species of indirect en couragement in the war of conquest they have undertaken. As the documents have not yet been made public, we can, of course, only indicate the more important points in the negotiations of the three Courts, as well as in the secret understand ing they have arrived at, which these recent dis closures have thus unexpectedly brought to light. The correspondence shows how wisely M. Di Ba -1 ARCS had chosen the moment for decisive action, and how resolutely he turned to account the materials for a strong combination of despotic Powers—in a word, for • revived Holy Alliance which lay almost ready to his hand. It may be doubted whether under other circumstances Russia would have entered so readily into the aggressive and revolutionary schemes of the Prussian Mi nister. Her traditional policy had been to take a leading part in Danish affairs, mainly in the in terest of Denmark, and in pursuance of this course she had terminated the last war by threatening to intervene, unless the German Powers withdrew from their aggressive enterprise. But at the beginning of this year Russia was not in a position to act in any way against Prussia and Austria, as she im peratively required their assistance to suppress the Polish insurrection. At the outset of the con flict, accordingly, Resale congratulated Austria on the wisdom and moderation the German Powers had displayed in their dealings with the Diet, promising to use her influence in support of the legitimate rights of Germany. The secret correspondence shows, however, that the attitude of prudence and calculation was soon exchanged for one of more intimate concert and direct encourage ment. There appear to have been three main stages in the progress of this cordial understand ing, and intimate alliance between the three Ca binets. In the middle of January, when Prussia and Austria decided to take the Danish quarrel entirely into their own hands, M. es BISMARCK formally asked Ramis to support the policy of the German Courts, offering in return the active assistance of Austria against Poland. The Prussian Minister urged also as another motive to closer union with Austria, the probability that France might ultimately in tervene in the Polish question. Russia closed with the proposal, and cemented the closer union thus formed by secretly supporting the German Powers in their refusal of the Danish proposition with re gard to the assembling of the Rigsraad for the re vocation of the November Constitution. It may be assumed as certain that, but for this expl cu assurance of support, Austria and Prussia wo.ild not have invaded Sleswig with such precipitation in opposition to the strong remonstrances of the Western Powers. Not satisfied, however, apparently, with having given the impulse which led to the commencement of hostilities, Russia hastened early in February to make a declaration which has unquestionably ex ercised a most important influence on their progress. It formally recognised that Austria and Prussia were by the resistance of the Danes liberated from their treaty engagements ; and foreseeing the complications that would arise if the German Powers insisted on their right of conquest, assured them that as regarded the Duchies in any case, and under all circumstances, they might rely on Russian support. This secret assurance was soon followed by M. DE BISMARCK'S cool state ment to Sir A. BUCHANAN, that Prussia and Austria considered themselves freed by the war from their engagements towards Denmark. It would seem at brat sight that the despatch written by Prince (;onri•is HOFF on the 10th of February to the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, declaring the integrity of the Danish territory to be essential to the balance of power, and congratulating the Ger man Powers on their engagement to respect it, was not only inconsistent but incompatible with the secret understanding established between the two Cabinets only • few days before. But even the despatch if closely 'scrutinised supplies in direct evidence of the understanding, in the admis sion that the engagement by the German Powers to respect the integrity of the Danish monarchy " might be modified by events," which the Western Powers, or, at all events, England, THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVISING, MAY 16, erbe 6oum -03 re Pripmne of Wales hold a drstring•room at IL Mormes-Milece on War* afternoon, on behalf of bar Majerty.

Sir C. Phipps were pee wit darks( the service. had steadfastly refused to despatch was, however, it accompanied by • confident tion from Prince GORTCHAXOPP, explaining to M. DS BISMARCK the motives and objects which dictated it. The English Government, the Bingen Minister says, had repeatedly urged Russia to declare openly against the policy of the German Powers, and in favour of maintaining the integrity of Denmark. Lord Yuma, he continues, had recently renewed the proposal, intimating at the same time that England was prepared to draw the sword, and that the only means of a pacific settlement would be found in community of action in favour of Denmark between Russia and the Western Powers. The Russian Minister intimates that while declining this proposal, he deemed it prudent to write a despatch apparently sympathising with its spirit, in order to paralyse the warlike tendencies of England ; he also observes that he had purposely inserted • passage about the determined hostility of Russia to the formation of a Scandinavian state as a hint to France ; the French Government being, in his judgment, more disposed to favour the project of a union between the Northern States. Tbit The third and last step in the formation of this revived Holy Alliance, which appears to have been taken towards the end of March, is on the Russian side closely connected with this last project. M. Ds BISMARCK, uncertain of the future, has, itseems, resolved tooonsolidate the new alliance on the strongest basis before going further, and General Mammurms. was accordingly despatched to the Courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna for this purpose. To Russia he offered the support of the German Powers against Poland, and to Austria a compact with Prussia against Italy. As the result, the German Powers agreed to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with Russia the moment Sweden inter vened in the conflict, and in such case Germany would unite in support of Russia against Sweden. By this agreement Russia effectually secured her interests in the Baltic. Russia had no objeo tion to the weakening of Denmark by the separa tion of the Duchies, because this would only leave the Danish State weaker, and thus more dependent on the friendship of the Northern Courts. But she has the strongest interest in resisting the formation of a powerful Scandinavian kingdom, as this would effectually curb her designs in the Baltic, and raise a new obstacle to her coveted dominion of the Sound. So bent is she upon opposing this scheme, that she has offered to support "by all means " the separation of the Duchies from Denmark and their union with Ger many, on condition that the German Powers unite with her in preventing the aggrandisement of Sweden. These are some of the results which the confi dential intercourse between the Northern Cabinets appears to have produced. If the intimate under standing which the documents we have referred to reveal does actually exist, it is moat important, not only to this country but to Europe at large, that it should be known. The presence and action of Russia in the Conference would, under such cir cumstances, be the most mischievous form of diplomatic duplicity. Professing to take her seat u a neutral and a mediating Power, she would, of course, occupy not only a false but a treacherous position, and prove a fatal hindrance in the way of any really equitable and conciliatory proposal. The serious doubts thus thrown on her position ought to be settled without delay. THE SHIPOWNERS OP LIVERPOOL AND 7HZ FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT.

The works in connexion with this national memo rial were last week commenced by Mr. Belk. to whom the execution of the entire contract hex been Intrusted. The site chosen for it is in Hyde-park, almost facing the entrance to the Horticultural• gardens, and on this spot the Irian. dons for the foundation are beiog made. From the great height (160 ft.) and the immense solidity and 1211/6•0110611 of the memorial, the foundations have to be taken unusually deep, considering the exceUest nature of the sell, which is all graveL Under the centre part they are to be formed of 16 feet of concrete, and nowhere are they tote lr - s than 10 feet. The hue of the memorial is to consist of broad sad lofty Bights of stops that give awns to the work on four sides, sad the work itself is to be no ler than 130 feet square. The steps of gray granite are to be laid in a double flight, with a broad landmlietween the lower and upper tier. From this upper i the memorial proper will ries, the besement being form of a noble frieze in marble, the figure on which will be in high relief and of life size. The columns which rapport the spire -like su per • structure of the memo ri al are to consist of groups of oar red granite pillars, each 2ft. in diameter. Their =pints are exceediegly rich, sad will be surmounted with statues el heroic size. The spire, if we may so oall it, which clues is the arch, is Gee of the richest and moat elaborate of all Mr. Soott's designs. It will be built of red and gray granite, and the rich white done known as Harley Dale. The terminal and surmounting arms will be of wrought copper gilt, and this por• tiors of the work le to be executed by the Skidmore Art Company, whose rood screen in the transept of the last Exhibition excited such admiration for its exquisite Baia. Beneath the grossed arch will be placed the statue of the late Prises Conon. His royal bighorn is represented in robes of state, seated on a chair of sten. The proportions of the figure are on a meals which, if the statue was repre sented standing, would give it • height of 30ft. The details of this figure and of the other groups of Annan which will dunned the memorial are, however, still undecided. The whole work is expected to take four yeas. in completion, arid by the terms of his coat/act Mr. Balk has bound him self to complete it for the sum in head-120,0CW. The laying of the foundation dose will he marked by a public cereadmial, at which the member of the royal family will be pro:west.

(nom owe ow' anzairommarr.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVININO. In the Corps LEgislatif yesterday, M. fitievenart Bethune (a new opposition member, who was elected for a northern department against K Boitelle, brother of the Prefect of Police) moved to suppress the funds applicable to the pay of the rural police, on the ground that that institution was worse than useless. He desired to do cheerful homage to the utility of the police in Paris and other large cities, but he had the best reasons for knowing that the rural police, a very modern crea tion, and one which happily did not exist in all the departments, served no good purpose, and was I mainly nothing else than a scandalous instrument of electoral tyranny. The members of this body were illiterate, ill-mannered, and having no legitimate employment naturally sought occasions to meddle with citizens, and curry favour with power. This was their normal condition in what he would call times of peace. But in time of war, that was to say, during elections, these men transgressed all bounds of decency. Then the rural commissary of police became an undisguised electioneering agent, he spoke everywhere in the voice of authority, and treated his district like a conquered country. His mouth continually vomited threats, and no idle threats either, for they were constantly followed by the penal visitations of the local magistrates. M. Pelletan followed with a demand for the repeal of the law of public safety, and he based hie arguments mainly upon this consideration, that the present government had, in its own point of view at least, less need than any other of laws of public safety, because it kept liberty in a state of sus pense. Liberty of the press, liberty of association, liberty of public meeting, commercial liberty, parliamentary initiative, ministerial responsibility, all the institutions, all the guarantees of 'B9 were promised only in perspective, but immolated for the present by reason of the necessities of public order. Well, it was not unreasonable to argue that all that the government had deducted from liberty it must be taken to have gained in security. Whenoe, therefore, the necessity for exceptional laws of public safety. (Applause on several benches.) M. Pelletan then went through the list of various repressive laws passed by the government in the course of the last twelve years, and showed that in practice they had all been found unnecessary. The government every now and then got frightened, and asked for harsh laws, which after all it did not want. The law against keeping up "intelligence abroad," which had been called for on the pretext that it was a necessary protection against the scum of society, had been put in opera tion against just three persons, viz., a judge, the Marquis de Flees, M. Sheurer, and K Taule, • medical student. M. &hearer, a most respectable inhabitant of Alsace, had been pulled out of his bed, and taken to a cell in Masai. He was prosecuted, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. He had paid the penalty which the law awarded, but he was liable to-morrow, upon, perhaps, an angry man's denunciation, to be trans ported. When be thought of such things, he could scarcely believe that the statue of Mirabeau was yet standing in the building within which he spoke. Here a long altercation ensued between the Duke de Morny and M. Pelletan, the president laying down that a deputy bad no right to dis pute the law, and M. Pelletan replying with unanswerable force that it was the especial province of the Legislative Body to criti cise bad laws. After this a battle royal ensued between the Duke de Morny and K Picard. They wrangled in almost Billingsgate style. The Duke de Morny told M. Picard that the government was not afraid of him or of anybody else. Picard inquired "Is that a threat 1" to which de Moray rejoined "It is no threat to say that the govern ment is not afraid of you. If the government was inclined to threaten, perhaps the language we hear would not be addressed to it" (Tumultuous applause on the benches of the majority.) Picard attempted to explain, but could not get a hearing, and K Jules Fevre ex claimed, " This is violence." At this juncture IL Thiers said—" When the interests of the country are in question nobody will frighten us, not even the government." K Rouher said that K Thiers had only just come into the house, and did not know what had passed, but the latter said he had heard it all, and persisted in his observa tion. M. Gamier Pages brought forward the sub ject of the violation of his domicile, and the in terference with his electoral meetings. MM. Ronland and Rouher replied on behalf of the government that the law justified what had been done —or, at any rate, they thought so—end it was for • court of law to pronounce. The government had tolerated else- • Lao: tonal meetings, but they had reason to think that IL Gander Pages was at the head of an unlawful 'society, which sought to carry the elections throughout Franco. This being Whit Sunday, few of the evening papas appear. There is no news. All the fashion able world is gone to the Chantilly noes. The weather is beautiful, and very hot.
