EXPRESS FROM PARIS

THE FRENCH PRESS UPON LORD PAL•
MERSTON'S SPEECH AND THE POLICY
OF ENGLAND.
(nom OUN OWN coaaravoNDENT.)
PARIS, r1:118DAY EVLWING.

Lord Palmerston's pacific speech, of which we
have only as yet a telegraphic summary, provokes
many satirical remarks and sly hits from the even-
ing papers. The Patric says that the English
prime minister plainly gives leave and license to
the Austro-Prussians to conquer JutlaniL It con-
siders that England, Austria, and Prussia are now
substantially agreed as to the fate of Denmark ;
and it would have it supposed that France foresaw
this agreement from the beginning, and for that
reason refused to join in aiding Denmark. The
Patric now boasts that the policy of the French
government has "defeated English calcu-
lations !" French intervention would not have
saved Denmark—so the Patric affirms—but it re-
joices to think that " French inaction leaves Eng-
land to contend with all the embarrassment of a
conflict into which she sought to drag France."
You see what kindly feelings some of your neigh-
bours here entertain towards you. The Temps
sees a want of logical consequence in Lord Palmer-
ston's declaration that he will not interfere now,
but would interfere in such a case as that of the
King of Denmark being taken prisoner. It could
understand that the integrity of the Danish
monarchy might be considered a European
question of sufficient importance to jus-
tify a great power in going to war for its
maintenance. But if Denmark is to be sacrificed,
it fails to see why England should interfere for the
purely chivalrous purpose of protecting the Danish
I monarch. After having abandoned the "prin-
cipal "it would be foolish to break the peace of
Europe for the sake of the "accessary." The
Opinion Nationale characterises the phrase pro-
nounced in the House of Commons "in case, for
example, Copenhagen should be taken, or King
Christian made prisoner," as "unheard of," and
"as ridiculous as odious." The France, with less
passion but equal scorn, says that Lord Palmer-
don's eases belli is extremely hypothetical,
and that before it arises Denmark will have suffered
"irreparable disasters in Jutland." It reads the
Premier's speech as meaning simply that " England
will not and cannot go to war." Sage reflections
about the moderation of Napoleon 111. and the
necessity for a general congress conclude the article
of the France.

The Bourse opened with great buoyancy upon
the strength of the London parliamentary speeches,
but it became comparatively weak for the close.
Rente, after being quoted (for account) at 65fr. 95c.,
closed at 65fr. 85c., with a rise of only sc. Mobiier
fluctuated between 1,068 fr. and 1,046 fr., closing at
1,051 fr. 25c., with a rise of 6fr. 25c.
It will be remarked that the decree in this day's
Moniteur, making several diplomatic changes, does
not appoint a successor to the Marquis de Cedure,
who is removed from the post of first secretary of
embassy in London, to be minister plenipotentiary
at Baden-Baden. It is thought that either M.
Baude or M. de Mosbourg, now first secretary of
embassy at Vienna, will be sent London.
