LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 11.

NOTWITHSTANDING the questionable haste dis-
played in announcing the new candidate for the
Throne of Greece, it seems not improbable that
the selection may prove a fortunate one, and that
the new proposal may in the end be carried into
effect. There wee certainly a want of proper
caution in announcing to the Greeks the candida-
ture of Prince WILLIAM before the conditions on

which it depended could possibly be known, either
to the Great Powers or to the Greeks themselves.
But this act of indiscreet zeal will readily be over-
looked and forgotten if no serious obstacle should
arise to prevent or delay the carrying es tpl a
plan that promises to solve a rather dillooli sod
perplexing problem. It was of oo
right and proper that those who
terested in the arrangement, the Dual
meat and the family of Prince Wrurair, no loss
than the Greek nation, should have to
consider its bearings and form a deliberate
judgment of the scheme before committing them-
mitres to its adoption. But there seems at present
no rams to apprekeed that any serious difficulty
will arise in thus quarters. The Greeks appear
to be quite satisfied. For whatever reason, they
desire a king, and under the guidance and direction
of the Great Powers who have constituted them-
selves
the guardians and protectors of the young
Hellenic kingdom it is natural that their range of
inquiry should be strictly limited to the royal
families of Europe. If their future sovereign
must be a Prince young and inexperienced, it
would be difficult to find one in all respects more
eligible than Prince WILLIAM of Denmark. The
Danish Government offer no opposition to his
candidature, while the ally condition they attach
to it are, so far as they are known, perfectly
simple, nebula, and just. The conditions recently
suggested in the columns of the Dagblad, • lead-
ing Copenhagen journal, and which some of our
contemporaries rashly attributed to the Danish
Government, have no official authority whatever.
They represent, no doubt, fairly enough the
feelings and wishes of the Danish people ; but the
Government, however completely one with the na-
tion in its earnest desire to secure a prompt
and final settlement of the long dispute
relating to the Duchies, would be hardly
likely to adopt the summary and very doubt-1
ful expedient for this purpose which the
popular voice, in a moment of excitement, suggests.
While the Danish Government undoubtedly ren-
ders a service to Europe in facilitating a plan
which may happily remove a European difficulty,
it would at the same time be unworthy of its dig-
nity and derogatory to its righteous came if any
attempt were made to exaggerate this service, or
to barter its acquiescence in the candidature of
Prince WILLIAM for a European guarantee with
regard to the Duchies.
The conditions which the Danish Government
attaches to Prince WILLIAM'S candidatdpre, so far
as they are at present known, refer, not to home
questions, but simply to his position in Greece.
The chief, if not the only, questions relating to this
point in which the Government has a legitimate
interest are those relating to the Regency
to be appointed during the minority of the Peince,
and the religion he is to profess ; the latter point
being, however, directly oonneoted with that of
succession in the Danish monarchy. With regard
to the Regency, it is perfectly natural and right for
the Danish Government to require that no public
enemy of Denmark, no one distinguished for hos-
tility to dr astioaal tongs, should be allowed to
fill this important and responsible post. This con-
dition would at once exclude some whose
names have been already mentioned in
connexion with the Regency. The ques-
tion of religion is closely connected with that
of succession to the Danish crown, in which both
the Government and people of Denmark have a
direct and very serious interest. The succession
is fixed by treaty in the family of Prince CHAIS.
TIAN, and it is most important for the security
