IMPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom °Era own' cowszonarr.)

PARIS, SUNDAT Evnuto.

The Moniteur announces that the Princess Marie
Clothilde Napoleon has presented her husband with
another son.

Limayrac, in the Ccnatitutionnel, takes up his
parable on the proposed entrance of Denmark into
the German Confederation. This arrangement
seems to him so impossible that he inclines to think
it never can have been thought of.
Simple good sense suffices to prove that in no point of
view, and under no rirculostances, such a project could be
justified. It could Le supported neither on the principle of
nationalities nor on the old German law, or the treaties of
'l5, any more than on the nature of things. . . . The
antagonism of race has fanned the war. To render more
intimate the oonnezion of Dania and Germans would not
put an end to the conflict. It would rather be the germ of
inevitable divisions and not distant catastrophes. The
treaties of 'l5 are equally opposed to this combination.
These treaties, in naming the states which should form
the confederation, named wily those which had belonged to
the old German empire, which Denmark never did. The
nature of things? But who says Germanic Confederation
says union of the German States, and if one can understand
that a non-German state enters the confederation by reason
of the German provinces it possesaes, could anyone under.
stand the accession to the German body corporate of a state
whose origin, race, and interests are antagonistic to Ger.
many? Evidently not. Without adding that such en
annexation would seriously disturb the European *gain-
brium, that it would lead to cosaequeness menacing to
some, injurious to others, and that it would consequently
induces general feeling of uneasiness, and would give rise
to such difficulties and such opposition that it is impossible
for us, once for all, to admit that such • project has ever
been seriously entertained. _

The last sentence, somewhat imperfect in its
construction, is probably intended to suggest ideas
of the utter indignation which prevents the accom-
plished writer attending to his parts of speech. It
would almost seem that the plan was more nearly
being adopted than at first appeared possible. I
am informed on good authority that M. Drouyn
de Lhuys, at an interview with Prince Metternich
and M. de Budberg a few days ago, expressed, in
very strong terms indeed, his dissatisfaction at the
conduct of their courts.

I extract from the Pays the following on the
Morning Post despatches :
These despatches MOM to have made a greater impremion
in Germany than in France. Litton from Bamberg of the
12th state that the secoadai7 'Wes are beginning to be
greatly alarmed at the renewed intimacy of the northern
courts. Even the populations of Central Germany regard
it with apprehension in a double point of view. It is
chiefly the Berlin cabinet that is feared, and whose pecu-
liarly expansive power they are sorry to see increased by a
close alliance with Petersburg and Vienn►

The France, referring to King Leopold's visit to
Vichy, says that it is ascribed to his Majesty's de-
sire to improve the understanding between England
and France—"a politic idea which no one is better
than himself able to carry out."

The Monitenr states that the chief of the insur-
gent Flittaa in Algeria has fallen into the hands of
the French troops, and that all the revolted tribes
have made their submission.

The Minister of Instruction, M. Daruy, is in the
South, with his usual activity, making personal
inspection of the schools.
