DANGERS TO GERMANY OF A
WITH ENGLAND.

The Continental papers, received this morn-
ing, especially those from Paris, treat of a war
between Germany and England as by no
weans an improbable event. " Prussia," says
the Dibats, "evidently contemplates breaking up
the Conference if the English fleet enters the
Baltic, and the English fleet only waits for a
signal which Lord Palmerston can now give
without English commerce accusing him of pre-
cipitation and foolish impatience. The English
cabinet has certainly shown throughout this
unhappy affair, as much prudence, moderation,
and impartiality as can be expected of a great
power in such a case. It has astonished the world
by its forbearance. We will not attempt to give
advice to the Prussian nation. We see by reading
the journals of Berlin that Prussia, altogether in-
fatuated by the victories in Sleswig, and by the
long and irritating repose in which it has been kept
by its situation, while other peoples of Europe
have from time to time encountered warlike adven-
tures and occasions of glory—we see Prussia
persuading herself that the English fleet will
find the end of its renown in the Baltic,
and that it will receive a terrible lesson from the
invincible walnut shells with which the grace of
God has deigned to provide King Frederick William.
When a great people is a prey to such illusions it is
useless to attempt to influence it by judicious
counsels ; it must became wise at its own expense.
But let Austria, which, during fifteen years, has gone
over too many fields of battle to allow the fumes of
powder to ascend to its brain and intoxicate it,
calmly consider whether it can lose for ever the
English alliance, and if she will gain much by
establishing the Prussians in Kiel at the risk of
bringing before Venice the flag which has just
floated over the triumphs of Garibaldi. Let the
cabinets of the secondary states remember the an-
nexationist doctrines upon which M. de Bismark
piqued himself two years ago, and let them ask
themselves if it is not the keys of Dresden, Ha-
nover, Cassel, and Darmstadt that Prussia has
sought at Rendadurg, Duppel, and Frederick..
Let the German people themselves—a people
healthy in heart and mind, who must not be judged
by the sickly metaphysicians of the National Verein
—reflect in what a situation they would be placed by
a war with England ; Russia being able to bring
only an alliance virtually useless, and France not
having yet told her secret. The war of Germany
with England ! it is all the German coasts ravaged
without possible reprisals, or it is general war,
that is to say, • war which may have in reserve
infinite evils for the whole world, but which would
have for its certain and inevitable result, whatever
might happen elsewhere, the dismemberment of
Germany."

The Austrian Gazette and the Botschafter profess
to believe that there is no agreement between
England and France. "The attitude of France,"
says the former journal, "has been so full of re-
serve, that we do not think it is likely to depart
from it, now that Denmark is at the end of its
resources!'

DEPARTURE OF A BRITISH MAN-OF-WAR
FOR THE NORTH SEA.

"The auspiciously named frigate," says the
Morning Post, "which has been despatched to the
North Sea will be bailed by the Danes in this
darkest hour of their need as the harbinger of light
and hope. The Aurora has sailed, taking with her
the Black Eagle. Her mission is to watch the
Austrian fleet, and in the event of its shaping a
course for the Baltic the Channel fleet will at once
sail with the avowed object of saving the Daues
from being overpowered at sea. England cannot
see a German armada go coasting along her shores
on its mission of destruction, and allow the finest
fleet in the world to remain at anchor as the aggres-
sive force passes them iu the Downs. Our diplo-
macy has been cajoled and defeated. We have
been played with, and laughed at, but we have yet
to see that such an insult to our national honour
can be tolerated."

The Times endeavours to show that England has
in no degree failed in her duty to Denmark, and
that in bringing together the Conference our go-
vernment acted to the beet of its power; but adds
that the meetings of this assembly will be attended
with no good results. "The game of ' waiting for
instructions' is being played in a manner which
proves that the German powers do not care to show
even a semblance of respect for the negotiations
into which they have entered. Under these cir-
cumstances, the project may well be abandoned,
fora further persistence in it will be derogatory to
the dignity of England, and will apparently be of
no benefit to Denmark. When the Conference is
at an end we shall at least be free to act untram-
melled by pending negotiations."
