(From the Herald.)
The vase of parliament and the opinion of the country
have eadcweed the principles of Lord Derby's Reform Bill
and the policy for which, dozier six years of anxiety and
dllamilty, the conservative party have earnestly and not in
vain ecintended. If that policy is to be faithfully carried
eat, if those principles are to guide oar future legislation,
if we are to be rid for the future of incessant insidious at-
tacks oa the privileges and property of the church, and
ei • factitious agitation which prevents all settled
conticience is the foundations of the ovistitution,
we must owe it to • conservative House of Commies. Only
each an expression of the national will as would be implied
in the retain of a decided conservative majority. and such
parliamentary diecouragemeat as only a decided majority
eon indict, will pat the agitators to silence or give security
to the country. That the coeservative party are not, as
some unscrupulous adversaries have asserted, bent on re.
sating all constitutional modifioations-that they are not
indifferent to the claim of the working close to be moor-
aimed as an element in the political existence of the patios.
Mr. Disraeli's address will convince anyone who ie
met predisposed to cavil aid to distrust. And the
present lacrosse of the conservative leader is is whist so.

THE PRINCE OF AUGUSTENBURG. •
The Cologne Gazette has reoeived from Frankf:k
an analysis of the document sent by the Priuoe at
Augustenbnrg to the Berlin cabinet, in which he
sets forth that the court and government of Prussia
were favourable to him until the treaty of Vienna
was signed, and that the attitude of the Berlin
cabinet towards him underwent a change on the re-
turn of Count de Bismarck from Biarritz
The prime supremos his regret that an understanding
with Austria has not yet been established. He hopes that
this underetaltdblif may be realised bemuse the Prussian
demands expressed in the note of the 22nd Falai cary differ
essentially from those which had been made to him pre.
ytoruly, sad be has no doubt that thme last would bane
been at one accepted. The prince would be happy to aid
in bringing about en understanding between the two powers,
if not on the basis of the original propositions, at least on
some intermediate one between the last and three of the
22nd February, since between these two programmes ars
placed the conditions which the Duchies eould swept, and
which could be realised without any great commotion in
Germany. The prime next examinee, one by one, the de-
mands put forward by Prussia in the despatch of 22nd
February. He accepts the greater pert of them, and rejects
principally thole which tend to Incorporate the soldiers of
the Duchies In the Friesian army and to remove them to
Prone= fortresses.
The Priuoe, in concluding, declares that those
concessions would be subordinate to the establish-
ment of definite order in the Duchiee by the instal-
lation of their sovereign, and that no representation
could give its consent thereto if the only object in
view was to make the present provisional state enter
on a new phase.

FRANCE AND AMERICA.
PARIS, MAT 23.

The Constitutionnet of this morning publishes an
article, signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, which re-
verts to the pacific declarations of the Federal go-
vernment, and points to facts showing that the
uneasiness occasioned by affairs in America has no
foundation.
