COLOGNE, SIILY 8.
The peace with Denmark is at length con-
cluded. This intelligence has produced a very
favourable impression on the Hamburg Bourse.
State paper is higher, and commerce is again active.
Is its character then so satisfactory? It is doubtful
whether at any other point in Germany the peace
just signed has produced as beneficial effects. At
Berlin the news has made quite another impression,
and throughout every class of Germany the people
have been stricken to the heart as they learnt the
disastrous stipulations of the peace.• Every one
re ads in them a total abandonment of the
duchies to their fate, end a return to the old policy of
the German courts, which nevi r could c ,mprehend the
feelings and interests of the people, and perpetually
worked for the inter.sts of petty dynasties. This im-
preseion is betrayed in all the organs of
public opinion, without one exception. I
will not speak of de moorage journals, as
three might be suspected of prejudice against
Prussia. I shall only give you the sentiments 1:f the
most moderate newspnpfrs, the organs of the bour-
geoisie, of those who have fought for the Union and the
political preponderance of Prussia in the affu'ra of
Germany.
_ _

And -first, the ellogrie Gazette. You know that
the chief editor, M. Brtiggeman, is one of the warnifst
partisans of the Uteon, a Prussian sang pun who is
ready even to pardon Manteuffel because he thinks
he discerns in him a warm supporter of the Prussian
Union. He has carried concession to the govern-
ment 83 far that the radical party accuse Lim of
being sold. lam far from believing it, but in truth
he has surpassed ell in indulgence to the government.
Well, his Berlin article of the 4:h in-
stant qualifies the articles of the treaty as
" little short of iaamous," and declares that
he will believe in no such abarwful treaty till he
reads _of RI ratification in official docutrents.

Ile declares that a government daring to de-
cide the Schleswig and lio:stein question in a
sense contrary to the decision of the Diet of Freti,k-
fort in 1818, would commit felony ; and to poison
the arrow which he directs at the heart of tre

minister, he adds, " a felony like V:ose which have
distinguished the cows:: of Austria from the com-
mencemect."

Another middle-class Prussian organ, the Constitu-
timid 17,1.:,,tie, is equally plain ; it turns toward, the
government, and says ,ts party will arm against the
cabinet in the next meeting of the chamber to combat
the anti-national spirit of the ministry. •• Take care," ,
is its language, " that Prussia does not descend by its
own act to the place of a second-rate power like
Holland, Belgium, Sweden, and Norway." Another
journal, also of theittste milieu, and of great ir.fluence
in the north of Germany, standing at the head of the
non-Prussian partisans or tle Union, the Gotha party,
is much more clear. The Brichs-Zeiterny, pubuished
at Brunsuick, says, " Shame is dead; honour exists
but in words. Frederick the Great is without suc-
cessors ; but, as John the Baptist declared of Abraham,
the Lord is able to raize up of stones new Holten-
z Mans. The Prussian people cm only, like the great
Ekctor after the treaty of St. G.Tmeins, look up and
hope for veng,ar.ce,• which will surely come. On
that occasion Frederick Witham directed all the na-

I have chosen the t xpressiuns of these three journals
because I can assure ycu they convey the general
sentiment.

M. Erode de Girardin was not present at the sit-
ting. There was no longer any intention on the part
of the Mountain to resign their seats.
I hear that General d'Hsutpoul is for the present
firm. The President's message was expected to-day ;
but some change of decision has taker place, and for
the moment nothing more is said about it.
The Duke of Bordeaux is to be at Aix-la-Chapelle
in July. The legitimists intend to avail themselves
of his proximity to present their homage.
The President of the Republic will go to Com-
piegne on Sunday next. This journey is positively
decided on, bat it is thought that it will not have the
official character of his visit to St. Quentin. The
President will review the troops and the ordinal
guard, and will receive the authorities. It is said,
however, that no speeches will be delivered.
Negotiations are to bs opened with St. Petersburg.
with the object of concluding a convention relative to
literary property between Francs and Russia.
It seems the legit►mist movement inept's@ the go-
vernment with some apprehension. The Prefect of
Police has interdicted the banquets and musical mess
with which it wee intended to celebrate the festival of
St. Henri.
