THE CORPS LEGISLATIF.--SPEECH OF M.
ROUSER ON DENMARK AND POLAND.
PAWS. XAT 13.

In yesterday's sitting of the Corps Legialatif
M. Rouher, replying to M Fevre, spoke at great
length on the Danish question. The minister
said he saw with grief the invasion of the
Duchies. He could not discuss certain ques-
tions because the Conference had met. He
confined, himself, therefore, to refuting the obser-
vations of M. Fevre upon the conduct of France
until the meeting of the Conference, arid pointed
out that the treaty of 1852 did not oblige France
to make war to defend the resolution of the Con-
ference and the integrity of the Danish monarchy.
M. Rouher also observed that to uphold the treaty,
England would have easy victories at sea, but
France would be obliged to march upon the
Rhine and traverse Germany to reach Denmark.
" If," said the minister, " France could embark her
treasure in such an enterprise, it is not to Denmark
that we should have gone, we should rather have
moved armies for other misfortunes and other
sorrows. But the policy of the government is
not • policy of eentiment. When such questions
present themselves, • government devoted to
the country does not engage is war before
having everywhere exhausted all the combinations
which might secure and maintain peace. We Lave
respected the treaty of 1852. We have accepted
every means for r►establishing pesos."

The minister concluded his remarks on the
Danish question by expressing the hope that the
Conference would give peace.
With regard to Poland, M. Rouber stated that
the question was a European one, and continued
as follows :—." We have suffered deeply by the
I events in Poland and Gallic* but we did not wish
to trouble the peace of Europe. We understood
that collective steps on the part of the Powers
being no longer capable of realisation, Prasee
Should no longer make vain protests at St. Peters-
burg, but should le►ve to God and to time the care
of judging on which side lay the great iniquity,
and on which side legitimate grievances."
On the subject of the congress the Minister said
the powers who had refused the congress had
inflicted upon themselves the greatest injury.
" Prance was not lees glorious and powerful after
the refusal of the congress,"
