THE " CONSTITUTIONNEL " ON THE
DANISH QUESTION.

PARIS, F. 4.

The Constitution/Lel of to-day publishes an article
by M. Limayrac, protesting against the pretensions
of some English journals to throw the responsibility
of the Deno-German conflict upon Franca The
writer says :
"The publication of the documents upon the
question will prove that even after the adjournment
of the proposal for a congress, France was ready to
accept any practical ,proposal. She sees with sor-
row the calamities with which friendly nations are
visited."

" Are are consinced," concludes the Constifutionnel,
" that England feels the same pain, but in certain
quarters it may be mingled with regret to think
that a different policy might perhaps have averts./
the calamity."

ENGLAND AND THE DANISH QUESTION.
vIENNA, Fin. 3.

The semi-official General Correspondenz of to-day
says :—" Disquieting rumours have been current of
intended intervention on the part of non-
German Powers, especially England, with refer-
ence to the action of Austria and Prussia. We
may exprees the hope that the explanations from the
Vienna and Berlin Cabinets, and more particularly
those sent immediately before the opening of the
British parliament, have Wen perfectly appreciated,
and will avert all further complications."
