" There is," as SHAKSPERE tells us, " a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." In the history of nations, as of in dividuals, a crisis occasionally occurs, in which the decision of an hour may rule the fate of years and influence the destiny of generations. Such a criti cal moment has now arrived for Denmark. The eyes of Europe watch her decision with anxiety. A false step will be fatal to her future career, while even the most prudent course is fraught with diffi culty and danger. On the ono hand, she is menaced with the horrors of war, in which no wise King or prudent councillor will hastily en gage, but, on the other hand, she is threat. ened with the yet greater evils of poll tical subserviency and national degradation, evils which, to noble patriotic hearts, arc more ap palling than any warlike disasters. There are times when the favourite motto of DANTON, dare,' is the dictate, not of temerity, but of true wisdom. The forlorn hope is occasionally not only the post of danger but the source of safety. Pusil lanimity is always directly opposed to prudence, while courage is oftentimes synonymous with caution. Such, at this perillous juncture, appears to be the case with Denmark. Were she to submit to the peremptory demand of the Prussian and Austrian ultimatum, were she, in fact, to relinquish possession of Schleswig, she would sink at once into a position of insignificant subserviency, from which no after exertion would 1 e sufficient to extricate her. She would abandon by that EX PENDIT EIRE. Tho Contractors, for erecting new building - a ..

Feeling assured of this alternation, King Christian and his Government, and not the King and Go vernment only, but the whole Danish nationality appear to have made their unanimous decision. As we anticipated it would be, when the first report of the ultimatum reached us, that decision will be— a - refusal. Come what may, Schleswig will be re tained, and the independent Kingdom of Denmark will refuse to sink into a German principality. If war be the result, and that it will be so appears painfully imminent, we cannot blame the Danes for its election. Even peace may be purchased at too great a price, end national h:nour and independence is a price which no free citizen will bb willing to pay. Better, grievous as is the alternative, better far a costly sacrifice than an ignoble safety. Better that the brave soldiers of free Demnark should shed their hearts' blood at their King's command, than that her senators and citizens should sell their national independence for the protecting favour of a German despot. A war of aggression or of spoliation is one of the greatest iniquities under the sun, but very different is a defensive war, whether it be a defence of rights or of principles. If Denmark be driven to arms the onus of the decision will no.; be hers. Oa the German Powers will rest the full obloquy of disturbing the peace of Europe, and thereby renewing the horrors of what NAPOLEON THE GREAT justly denominated a " civil war.'.' Nothing seems wanting in the line of action bat has been drawn out by the continental inno- vators. The Emperor of AUSTRIA. has personally addressed the troops that are intended for execution n Schleswig. The advice tendered on this occasion is not very salutary, but the meaning is very signifi cant. In the first place the troops are bidden to keep on " good terms with their Prussian brethren in arms." It may bo asked of what great conse- quence is that, and how are they likely to dispute. It is only too evident from all that has transpired that there is only too much unity between the allied belligerents. If there were a little more rivalry or difference of opinion, much might be expected to accrue which would tend to the advan tage of the other side; but it suits the avaricious leanings and the grasping passions of these States _. _ only too well to proceed in such an undertaking as hat in which they are now engaged. The &game of the EMPEROR'S address is full of meaning, and very fully and clearly discloses the purport of the transaction, laying bare the secrets of the ma- nceuvre. " I know that you will do your duty as if yon were at home, and, should it come to blows, will show your courage." This is strange language to use unless the occasion is one of emer- gency, but it must by this time be evident to the meanest capacity that the object and intention of the organisers of the expedition is to proceed vi et armis, and to force their way through thick and through thin. It is very much to be regretted that things should have come to such a pass, and it is expedient that some means should be devised for the suppressing of the plot. A large v.um has been demanded by the Austrian Government for the expenses of the expedition : in fine, everything tends to prove more and more the urgency of the case, and to demonstrate the fallacy of those arguments which were constantly urged against the danger of allowing Federal exe- cation in Holstein. All the sophistries then urged have turned out to be very sorry ones, and the con duct of our Government in persisting to advocate the expediency of the measure is about as unwise as it is reprehensible. At all events it is gratify ing to turn to the address of the Dines to the KING. It is an expression of patriotic sentiments, and breathes a spirit of resolute determination and ar- dent zeal, which are especially necessary on such an occasion, and without which all chanc3 of succest , would be quite out of the question, A time like this is a sure test whereby to try the mettle of a people, and all well-wishers will look eagerly and earnestly on while the gems is being played out. There has been as yet no hesitation evinced or reticence dis played in the bearing and demeanour of the in- habitants of Denmark in this critical juncture, for they have come forward with true ardour to bear the brunt of an attack which is alike unprovoked and illegitimate in its demands. The address com mences by an assurance on the part of the House that they have seen with satisfaction the determi nation of the KING to maintain inviolate the " liberty and independenceof Denmark, in answer to the demands made by foreign nations that she should surrender her rights and irtvalidate her Con stitution. Further on they declare that the task which the KING has inherited from his predecessor is a difficult one, and may eventually be attended with great sacrifices. " But," says the most im portant passage in the whole address, " they will bo willingly borne by the people to preserve the inseparable union between Schleswig and the kingdom." This is indeed coming to the point and speaking as men and patriots. They could do no less than thus avow their intentions to advocate and support a most determined resistance. At the same time, while he has a right to claim their counsel and to seek their sentiments, the KING can do no less than now proceed and persevere in the course actually commenced. It is always gratifying to notice a complete accord be tween a Monarch and his subjects on an occasion of such imminent peril, and so far, at least, a satisfac tory sight is presented by the denizens of Copen hagen. Nor is there any cause to dread that the country will hesitate to ratify the agreement thus entered upon by the KING and the Assembly. The emphatic words which his MAJESTY has addressed to a deputation in regard to this affair, rightly ex plain and powerfully declare the feelings which actuate and animate him in this momentous struggle. He says that if all others forsake him in the event of a war, he yet hopes for the support of the Danish people. Certainly, King CHRISTIAN has done his utmost to deserve the success which no mortal can command, and all civilised and free nations will bid him God speed in his venture. It will be a burning shame if our Ministers persist in drawing back from all participation in matters which their blunders have helped to bring to such a pass, and their ob stinacy has conspired to complicate. They must reflect that there !s more at stake than the check ing of arbitrary and assuming Powers on the Con tinent, of more consequence than the safety or pros perity of a persecuted Ally, and that is the honour of England—which is in jeopardy by these events, which is now entrusted to their hands to maintain and vindicate, and of which a strict account will one day be demanded of them. The Parliament will shortly assemble, when recusant statesmen will not find it so easy to beffie inspection and to shirk responsibility, but beyond that court of inquiry, there is another tribunal where evasion and crafty diplomacy will not avail, and woe betide them if they cannot undergo the fiery ordeal of public opinion. " to Our national love for discussion and debate id generally very forcibly shown on the occasion of hhe the Englishmen becoming involved in hostilities in any i part arge o ofEngli sh ndirect agency people have so th s e hs g re lo , public opinion in influencing the actions of their bet.hrouTg Government that they feel in some measure per- sonally responsible for its proceedings, and show a consequent eagerness that the policy pursued and the principles upheld should be worthy of them. If this is the case in matters of internal legislation, and in times of peace and order, it is doubly so when words have passed into deeds, and argu ment and remonstrance are replaced by the logic of the sword. We are by no means a military people by habit or preference, although proving formidable antagonists when roused ; and thanks, perhaps, to our commercial predilections, our " ideas" are all in favour of peace and progress, rather than war and glory. There are some few among us, too, who carry their love of peace, and their appreciation of its blessings, to an ex treme that borders on the ridiculous ; and although their numbers are small, and their disciples few, yet the principles which they so warmly advocate are not without their influence. A good many people, again, are always inclined, on hearing of any calamity, to relieve their feelings by blaming somebody, and others have a pleasant habit of considering that " Whatever is, is wrong," so that no sooner are we engaged in hostilities in any part of the world than up starts some critic to assure us that it is ce rtainl y owing to some error cr misconduct, national or political. The Crimean war, we were continually assured, was entirely due to the sins of this country, while the Indian Mutiny was directly traced, perhaps with some degree of truth, to a long course of misgovernment and neglect. Oar wars with China have given rise to stormy discussions, our recent proceedings in Japan have called forth an unlimited amount of censure, while the conflict with the Maories of New Zealand, although hastened if anything by the lenity of our authorities, has been readily traced to British tyranny and injustice. The rights of the aborigines have been insisted on, their claims to consideration brought forward, and a policy of extermination strongly denounced. Side by side in our public prints, with the despatch addressed to Sir GEORGE GREY by the Colonial Minister on the subject of the Waitara lan 3, is a memorial to the Governor of New Zealand by a large body of English noblemen and gentlemen. The object of this communication is to express a hope, that his Excellency would avail himself of the first opportunity for coming to terms with the natives, and that the policy recommended in some quarters of confiscating the land of all con tumacious and rebellious natives should be avoided. The memorialists, it is true, intersperse their sug gestions with many tributes to the Governor's prudence, justice, and humanity, but the memorial itself pays but a Berry compliment to these quali ties. The course which Sir GEORGE GREY has hitherto pursued with reference to the Maories has surely been humane and conciliatory enough to clear him from all suspicion of unnecessary harsh ness, whatever means he may think necessary to pat down the rebellion. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in the despatch above referred to, remarks that, while he fully approves of the course pursued by Sir GEORGE by the abandonment of the disputed land in May last, still he considers that such a con cession was beyond what could in strict justice be de manded. In the opening of this very address, too, we find admission made of " the persevering efforts' , made by the Governor "to establish a system of self-government in the native districts." With great candour the memorialists also adqiit that these efforts for the benefit of the natives have entirely failed, and they profess a deep sympathy with the difficulties of the Governor's position. Perhaps it is hardly possible rightly to estimate those difficul ties, or to appreciate accurately the position of the colonist. He has come out at great expense, and with considerable risk, on an undertaking that all parties regarded as perfectly lawful and praise. worthy. He makes many sacrifices, and undergoes many hardships. He finds the land a waste, and the simplest principles of agriculture unknown and uncared for. With time and labour he reclaims and cultivates the land which he calls his own; he shows no illwill to his black neighbours, but lives peace ably, as he thinks, with all around. Suddenly on some idle pretext or another the natives declare war; they seize his land, declaring that it belongs not to the owner who sold it to the settler, but to some far-off chief who never agreed to its alienation. The colonist is fortunate if he escapes unharmed with his family to the s helter of the nearest town, to re turn, after long delay and cruel anxiety, to find his home a heap of ruins, and his ground laid waste. In the face of scenes like these the colonists feel rather as if the cry forjastice should come on behalf of themselves, while the Go - Verno - r, whatever his feelings of pity for the suicidal follye of an inferior race, cannot but remember that his` first duty is to protect the lives and property - of the peaceable citi zens of whom he is the chief. • No one can justly accuse our colonial authorities' of having shown un due precipitancy in following up the war. It is well known that so greet was the reluctanc e shown that the colonists at last became i ndi g nant, and threatened to take measures for their own protec tion. We ha ve, therefo re, no righ t to suppose that Sir GEORGE GREY, General CAMERON , or any of those in power, will show undue severity, or fail to temper justice with mercy. Bat we should surely be doing them equal injustice did we suppose that they would leave their work half finished, and put out the flame, leaving the smoulder ing embers ready to blaze u p again at the very first spark. It would be cruel kindness alike to the native and the colonist were a hasty settle ment of differences superficially arranged, and were all the present suffering t o have been endured for nothing. Let a thorough settlement be made now the task is forced upon us. Let the natives have their rights, and let them be rigidly respected, but let no authority be recognised in the islands on any pretenco whatever save that of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA. The natives may style each other what titles they please, after the fashion of Indian Rajahs, but no King s hould for a moment be recognised or tolerated. It should always be borne in mind that the natives are by no means the inno cent and unsuspecting savages of romance. They are naturally quick and clever, and have been trained by the influence and intelligence of white men. With regard to the confiscation of the land there is no doubt that such will be at all events to some extent a necessary evil. The memorialists should bear in mind when they talk of such a policy driving the people to the " madness of de spair," that, by their own admission, it is only the band of " contumacious• and rebellious natives" which it is proposed to confiscate, who aze conse quently in violent antagonism with us already. Also, the value which they attach to property is more theoretical than practical, as is proved by the little use they make of their land when they have it. It would be well to take advantage of this general convulsion to pass some enactment regarding the transfer of land similar to Lord CANNING . S Waste Land Bill in India, in order to clear off the incubus of these old traditional pos sessors. Such a measure might be framed with all possible leniency and fairness, but it would un , questionably prove a great blessing to the Maories themselves, who are coatinually disputing on such They have always been famous for inter necine struggles and dissensions, although they make common cause against the settlers. It is evi- matters. dent, in spite of the memorialists, that our autho rity must be restored with a high hand, and that decided measures must he taken not only to obtain peace but to ensure it. Such a course offers the best hope for the future of the Maori race, and such a course, promptly followed in Japan has secured the submission of Prince SATSUMA, and the consequent psotection of European residents from murder. We see as yet no grounds for necessitating such an appeal to the Colonial Governor, and consider that matters are much better left to the discretion of those on the spot, who can weigh the effect of every word, than settled 16,000 miles off by critics alike unable to realise the magnitude of the danger and to grasp the best means of dealing with it. AMERICA. ['REUTER'S TELEGRAM (Per the North American.) NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (Evening).

A RUINED PARISII.—Before the present civil war the population of St. Mary's, in Louisiana, contained 12,019 slaves, assessed as worth 6,433,250 dole., averaging 535 dole. for man, woman, and child. The plantations were assessed at the value of 5,948,100 dols., the slave property being as usual worth more than the real estate. Each'elave was reckoned to net his master 175 per annum--one-third of his assessed value. The whole taxable property of the parish was assessed at 14,000,000 dols„ giving to each of the 4,021 white inhabitants the handsome sum of 3,500 dols. The war has destroyed this property, and obliterated these values. The slave prosperity has gone, and the white po pulation are beggared. First came a derangement of all ordinary pursuits, and then it degenerated into anarchy.— Amerrcan raper. MR.

A meeting of the revolutionary Rayahs have unanimously decided upon refusing to pay taxes. THE STATE OF POLAND. WARSAW, JAN. 15. Rumours are current that orders have been re ceived from St. Petersburg not to collect any more signatures for addresses of loyalty to the Czar. fhe official organ of to-day publishes about another score of these documents got up in the method already sufficiently known. Arreststs en masse continue in dwellings and in the streets, Large numbers of women are constantly to be seen waiting outside the citadel with linen and clothes for their relatives condemned to transportation. Upon the 9th inst. the police arrested severs very popular ecclesiastics. Among the number was Canon Nowodworski, a Professor at the Clerical Academy of Warsaw, the editor of the Catholic Re view, a person who held entirely aloof from polities He was arrested at his residence, and sent on imme. diately to St. Petersburg, but it is believed he wi be sentenced to share the exile of so many others in th© distant provinces of the empire. Among nota- ble persons lately transported from Warsaw may be cited MM. Narbut, Bronikowski, Wyzykowski, Lesig, Heneberg, and Sieklucki. If al the extraordinary contributions decreed this year by General Berg are rigorously exacted all opulent inhabitants will be reduced to beggary, and the estates in the country will pass into the hands of strangers. The landed proprietors last year lost all their crops, either through having supplied the National troops or through being pillaged by the Russians. Cattle, plate, objects of value, and savings have been carried off by the Muscovites, and if some scanty remnants of the harvest here and there exist, it is impossible to sell them, for commerce has disappeared. Hardly a tenth of the landed pro prietors remain, the remainder have been either transported or compelled to abandon the country. In Warsaw itself, neither commerce nor trade are any longer to be found. The large houses have either been closed by the Russians or have failed. The population of the city is sensibly dimi nished. Tenants are no longer able to pay their rent; the last contribution abs'rbed all the money they had left. One of the richest owners of house property in the city, M. Grodzieki, through whose mansion the man who stabbed Major Both birch fled, has been forced to borrow 10,000 roubles (Z 1,500) to pay the fine at which he hasbeen amerced for the doors of his palace not having been closed, according to the orders of the police. One of the most capable Engineer officers of the Russian army, General Kerbeek, a Pole by birth but attached to Russia by education, and the honours he has received, in great favour also with the Grand Duke Constantine, has just been dismissed from his post of Director of Roads and Communication in the kingdom of Poland, for having opposed some arbitrary measures proposed by General von Berg at the Council. He has been replaced by General Schonberski, an old officer of 70. General Kerbeck objected to the closing of the University decreed by the Czar and the replace ment of the Polish railway officials by Germans, as wished by Von Berg, Von Muschivitz, one of the contractors for the Warsaw and Vienna line, and General Gerchfeld, the adjunct to the Minister for Roads and Communications at St. Petersburg. General Kerbeck relied upon a clause of the charter of the company, which reserved to the Poles the right of employment upon the railway. General Berg insisted upon the reversal of the clause. General Kerbeck replied that the stipula tions of charters could not be reversed at the caprice of parties not concerned, but he has nevertheless succumbed in the struggle. The Gazette Narodowa of yesterday says :—" Ad vices from Wilna announce the definitive de parture of General Mouravieff for St. Petersburg, while , Ruthenia and Lithuania will nevertheless remain subject to his authority, as he has been ap pointed President of the committee of the Wester❑ provinces (formerly Poland). The committee will be established at St. Petersburg, and is intended to effect the pacification of those provinces. Moura vieff will be replaced by General Kryjanowski, who has been associated with him quite recently." FRANCE.
