DENMARK.

"The Ambassador of Denmark, Count Belle.
Brahe," says a letter from Vienna, is the Cologne
Gazelle, "made certain overtures to Count de Bad
on the 31st ult., from which it would appear to re•
snit that Denmark will shortly give up the neutrality
which she has hitherto maintained, and will, lib
Piedmont, form an alliance with the Western
Powers."

ALLEGED OUTRAGE BY RUSSIA ON THE
AUSTRIAN FLAG.

PARIS, FIB. 6.

Eight Austrian merchant ships arrived at Galata.
They were received by the Russians with a fire of
musketry. The pilot of the brig Cleedenoven was
killed. This is authentic. Russian troops were
ravaging the Dobratscha under the eyes of General
CoroninL—Pose.

THE RESUSCITATED CABINET.

IT is believed that the Coalition is about to resume
office. Will it regain power P Will a change of plass
between Lord ABERDEEN and Lord PALMERBTON cam•
pensate for the loss of experience, ability, and reel
which the resuscitated Cabinet will have to confess?
Will the introduction of Mr. V. SMITH into the Cabinet
outweigh the character and influence of Lord Jona
Russau. P These are questions which time must
answer; but in seasons of emergency, questions of
individual and of collective capacity are solved more
quickly than in the piping daysof national tranquillity
and repose. We have no desire to forestall the dad.
Sion; but it is our imperative duty to us*
the pretensions to popular confidence which
the about-to-be-restored Coalition puts forth,

and to analyse in succession, as they are
presented to oar view, the ingredients of which the
whole is to be constituted. We say this because we
have reason to believe that the whole of the nomiar
Lions and promotions contemplated will not appeal in
the columns of the next Gazette, but that it has been
agreed between the high contracting parties to allow
certain important and several subordinate arrange•
ments to stand over until after the re-constituted
Government shall have ostensibly got into posses'
sion. The inconvenient contingencies of re-elections
have not been overlooked in connexion with this
part of the undertaking. What may be the precise
reasons for this unusual measure of precaution we
need hardly be at any loss to conjecture.
The Administration—to the first place in which
Lord PALMERSTON has been promoted—still consists
exclusively of members of that ill-advised minority
who were on the 26th of last month out-voted in the
House of Commons by A majority of two to one.
There were, it is true, a very considerable number of
members absent on that occasion, but not sufficient
to retrieve the disaster alluded to, even had they all
concurred in an attempt to do so; and far from
being so disposed, it is notorious that fully one-half
of those who absented themselves were disposed, had
they been present, to side with the victors rather
than the vanquished on the question at issue.
What was that question P Simply this—who•

ther the nation will osseent to allow its
gallant army to bo moaned by nosiest and
taismanagement because those who may be to
Maw are members of the privileged orders? or ,
whether, by making solemn inquisition into the rat
swings and lasses in that gallant host, the nation, by
Its represeetatives, shall acquit itself of complicity in
the guilt of ingratitude and cruelty, and prove to
those brave men who risk their lives in defence of its
honour and safety, that, hereafter, such shameful
wrongs shall be rendered impossible. There wee
nothing vindictive in Mr. nOZBUCK'S MOtion—no-
thin in its terms or in the arguments by which it
was suppurted that implied a wish to make Ministers
amenabte to t►e penalties of an expose facto law. All
that was sought for was inquiq into the pest
maladministration of the War Department,

and an examination of the causes that led
to the declination by death—not in battle,
bap in the camp—of the conquerors of Alma
an Inkermann. From one end of the country to the

other an exceeding bitter cry was heard demanding
such an inquiry; and 334 members of the House of
Commons voted ten days ago that it ought to take
place : whereupon the Government resigned. Fur-
ther proceedings with regard to the Committee have
necessarily stood over during the interval that has
mince elapsed. Bat that interval will soon be at an end.
The drop-scene is about to rise, and those who in the last
sot disappeared, routed and unhorsed, will be discovered
seated in a row opposite a natatorial table, looking
just as if nothing had happened. We shall not
have to wait long in uncertainty as to what will
next occur. Mr. Rozsucx will, of course, proceed
es soon as may be to nominate the Committee. What
will Lord PALMERSTON do ? Will he call upset the
overwhelming majority by whom the Committee was
carried to eat their words, to abdicate their f onetime,
and to set at nought the indignant desire of the great
body of the nation ? It is, under any eircumstancee.
• difficult task to get the House to rescind summarily
a vote deliberately come to; but for a minority of
mere piecemeal, in being or expectancy, and
their immediate connexions, to attempt to
browbeat a majority comprising the bulk
of all the independent parties in the legislature,
merely to save their ministerial amour-propre,
and for the majority tamely to suffer such insolence,
would be at once an indelible adoption of all the
worst sins of the last two years, and an open defiance
to the country. And yet we hear it said that one of
the conditions upon which the friends of the Duke of
NftwcAtrux have agreed to retain their posts under
Lord PALMERSTON is, that the Committee of Inquiry
into the state of the army before Sebastopol shall
not be even named.

It is clear, however, that other, and not less agree-
able, terms have been successfully demanded by theme
gentlemen. They had a tolerably large share
of the good things of government when they
joined the Whigs in December, 1832. Five
seats in the Cabinet, the Presidency of the.
Board of Trade, the Postmaster-Oeneralship,
_ _ .

the Viceroyalty and Chief Secretaryship of Ireland,
with an appropriate amount of subordinate places
and distinctions, were the price of their adhesion
then. Some demur was made to the exorbitancy of
that demand oa the part of a section that could not
number fifty now in the House of Commons. Bet
they were a section separate, compact, and uoitedi
and their terms were complied with. What will
satisfy them now—now that they can no longer boast
of cohesion or unity ? The same insatiable desires are
importunate. Five seats in the Cabinet are still
required, though it is necessary, in order to fill
them, that secondary luminaries, like Mr. CARDWELL
and Lord Calexico, be raised to the dignity is
question. Can the new Premier really pima&
himself that a score of such bundles of red togs as
these will add anything to the weight or inlinsine
of the Government with the country ?—Daly Nam
