OUR PARIS LETTER.

(ram ova owx

PARIS, WEDNESDAY Lomvani,

The Paris press takes considerable interest in
the speech of the King of Denmark on the opening
of the Danish et salon of parliament, and comments
very freely upon the relative situation of Denmark
and Prussia. The most important paragraphs in
the royal speech were received here by telegraph
last night. The announcement to tho chambers
that the confidential negotiations opened with
Prussia on the subject of relinquishing Southern
Schleswig remained fruitless, only stamped
with authority a fact about which there
was no manner of doubt in this capital, notwith-
standing opposite statements made by the semi-
official press of Berlin. The liberal and inde-
pendent press of Paris make no secret of their
sympathy with the despoiled little kingdom of
Denmark. The Minister of Prussia at Copen-
hagen, and the representative of Copenhagen at
Prussia, having both left their poets—whatever

may be the explanation of that step—necessarily
gives rise to the belief that the relations between
the two governments are on anything but a friendly
footing.

The French journals for the most part take sido3
with Mr. Gladstone and his party in the coming
electoral contest. The substance of the speeches
and addresses of English statesmen is given with
care and generally with fidelity. The papers then
proceed to take their own view of the great ques-
tion of the day with which politicians on your
side of the water are engroescd—the disestablish-
ment of the church in Ireland. They debate tho
matter with as much earnestness as it the measure
directly and immediately affected themselves ; and
indeed, so far as their religious susceptibilities are
concerned, it is obviously very far from being to
them a subject of indifference. This is what a
French journal says of Mr. Disraeli's address :
Need we say that Yr. Giessen appears to us to exaggerate
the question greatly. Tb. established church of England
is in no way threatened by the propositions of Mr. Glad-
stone. It is a question of dealing with Inland, whose
situation has keg bean an object of the deepest refleotion
sad anxiety on the part of English statesmen; of Ireland,
whose rakeries have no equal in Europe but in Poland,
and which is wasting away beneath ea absurd poli-
