THE " .4,TATU QUO" IN GERMANY.

CLI: I AIN passages in Mr. DISRAELI's recent
after-dinner speech at the Guildhall have created
expectations abroad, which were probably never
contemplated by the speaker, and are, we
cannot doubt, destined to disappointment.
the PREMIER. solicitous at the moment of
nothing more than a passing flourish about the
preternaturally wise and successful foreign policy
of his Cabinet, seemed to suggest the possibility
of a friendly intervention of the great European
rower+, between France and Prussia, for the pur-
vote of alleviating and allaying the aenti-
meets of rivalry and of jealousy which the
preponderance of Prussian arms and the
march of Prussian annexations in Germany may
have excited between the two great neighbour-
ing military monarchic*. Mr. DI9RAELI ventured
so far on that convivial occasion as to propose that
Lord firkinEv should offer himself as a wise and
generous mediator between the governments of
Paris and Berlin. Lord STANLEY, in his address
to the electors of Lynn, touched upon the
question of European peace, and the enormous
armaments which continually endanger it, with
his usual straightforward good sense. He was of
opinion that as neither France nor Prussia was
molly anxious to go to war, the simple action of
time and the calming influence of delay would pro-
hably suffice toprevent hostilities until both Govern-
inents would consent to a mutual disarmament
from sheer fatigue and exhaustion. At Liverpool,
however, at the banquet to the American Minister,
the Foe EIGN SEC It ET k Y approached a little
uen. to Mr. DISRAELI'S propositions,
though in general terms only, and in
a mauuer evidently suggested by the settlement
of our own difficulties with the United States
rather than by any continental questions. Sooner
or later, he said in substance, when the desire of
peace and the respect for international rights be-
cause more rooted in the minds of the
populations of Europe, these immense military pre-
parations will die a natural death. In nine cases
out of ton the frank and friendly intervention of
▪ neutral power may do much to appease dif-
ferences. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was present, and
who spoke later in the evening, complimented
Lord STANLIT On the tone of his speech, and

accepted it in spirit. But Mr. Gt./Lumen, in
addressing the electors of South-west Lancashire,
4istineily censured Mr. DiszAim's extemporised
offer of mediation as an electoral manceuvre,
without committing Wallkill for or against
the principle of neutral diplomatic action on
behalf of the interests of peace. On these vari'
CU/ end successive teats some continental jour-
nalists bare constructed an elaborate and pro-
digious mystification. They pretend that a
grand diplomatic intervention of " neutral "
Powers (as if war were already declared). that hi,
gland, Austria, and Rum* wee foreshadowed
