IMPRESS FROM PARII3.

PARIS, TcrzaDAY Evmama.

The Pays gives with some parade a " new
English proposition." Since the explanations of
Lords Palmerston and Russell offered to parliament
on March 11, when they announced that a confer-
ence without an armistice had been proposed to
and accepted by Austria and Prussia, the English
ministry, knowing that Denmark would inevitably
reject that suggestion, has, according to the Pays,
proposed a conference with an armistice, each belli-
gerent maintaining its present position. Austria
and Prussia appear to have acceded to this condi-
tion, and it is now for Denmark to answer. In
order to make a still greater splash with this news,
the Pays, in another column, announces that, "at
the moment of going to press," it learns from a
"sure source," that by a supplementary clause to
the new proposition the belligerents are offered
their choice of maintaining the status quo during
the armistice, or the aimultaneons evacuation of
Jutland on the one hand, and Sleswig, with all its
dependencies, on the other. What there is new in
all this I am at a loss to find. These are the very
propositions contained in the identical Austrian
and Prussian note of March 7. That note, it is
true, contains other stipulations relative to the
Danish fleet and the return of prizes ; but if
the Pays means that these are varied by
what it calls the new English proposition, it should
have said so. I incline to think that the Pays,
which was hitherto instructed to pooh-pooh the
conference altogether, is now ordered to open its
eyes, and pretend to see, for the first time, what
everybody else has known for several days past. In
a leading article it now admits that the meeting of
the conference is not impossible ; but it doubts whe-
ther, even in that case, the parties interested will
be able to come to an understanding.
M. Baucel insists that his oath was duly depo-
sited in time, and he has applied to a court of
justice for au order upon the Prefect of the Seine
to admit him as a candidate. The case, which is
new and important, will probably be argued to-
raCirrOw.

The Nation, not a very reliable authority, cir-
culates news of a ministerial crisis at Turin, and
speaks of M. Rattzzi as prime minister, with the
portfolio of foreign affairs ; Baron Ricasoli, in-
terior ; General Lamarmora, war ; M. Capriolo
(senator), commerce ; and General Cialdini, com-
mander-in-chief. " This combination is said to be
connected with grave financial and political in-
terests.'

There is no change at the Bourne. The money
article of the Presse make 4 the following observa-
tions on the state of the market :—" The market is
still as undecided and embarrassed as it was yester-
day. People now generally come on change with
the expectation of a rise, for every day after official
hours quotations are higher, and it is difficult to
buy on any terms ; but then the next morning's
Bourse does not respond to the symptoms over
night, and things go down. The fall makes uo sen-
sible progress, but the rise is checked. What mainly
hurts the regular progress of quotations is that the
•bears' of last week are enthusiastically preaching a
rise, and nobody can tell whence come the sales,
which counteract the ideas of the majority of the
public. There is no lack of newsmongers, and
the most absurd rumours are put in circulation.
But we believe the public good sense appreciates
these stories at their due value, and that the heavi-
ness of the Bourse is attributable to other reasons."

THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE
DANISH WOUNDED.

The Marquis of Clanricarde has received the fol-
lowing communication from the Danish Minister
in London :

TO HlB ZICILLLNCT THE DANISH Num= IN LONDON.

The antral committee for the relief of the families of
soldiers and sailors, the sick and wounded, and the relicts
of the fallen, has had the pleasure of receiving by your
excellency's favour of 26th of last month a cheque for
1,0001., as a gift from the committee which has formed it-
self in London under the presidency of the Marquis of
Olsoriauds, for the collection of oontributioms to our sick
and wounded soldiers and sailors.

The committee have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of the 1,0001., and in so doiog cannot omit to re-
quest your excellency, in the names of the Danish soldiers
and sailon, and, we may add, in the name of all Dame, to
express to his lordship the Marquis of Claerioarde, the other
members of the committee, and all who have joined them,
their most oocdial and unfeigned gratitude for the sympathy
they have shown, both in word and in deed, with our
beloved native country, sow straggling against German
violence and superior forces. The Danish make, fighting
for its liberty and independenoe, fully appreciates this sym-
pathy on the part of the free English people, whose institu-
tions form the pattern of that free development which the
Danish King and nation in full harmony have laboured to
advance and confirm.

An unequal struggle now threatens the cessation of this
development, and the dismemberment of the realm, but the
nation relies upon the justice of its MIN, and is
strengthened in this confidence by such proofs of sympathy
as the one we have just received on the part of the noble
English people, whose well known sense 01 justice gives
double weight to its sympathy.
