LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 20, 1861.

" There is," as SHAKSPERE tells us, " a tide in
the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune." In the history of nations, as of in-
dividuals, a crisis occasionally occurs, in which the
decision of an hour may rule the fate of years and
influence the destiny of generations. Such a criti-
cal moment has now arrived for Denmark. The
eyes of Europe watch her decision with anxiety.
A false step will be fatal to her future career, while
even the most prudent course is fraught with diffi-
culty and danger. On the ono hand, she is
menaced with the horrors of war, in which no
wise King or prudent councillor will hastily en-
gage, but, on the other hand, she is threat.
ened with the yet greater evils of poll-
tical subserviency and national degradation,
evils which, to noble patriotic hearts, arc more ap-
palling than any warlike disasters. There are
times when the favourite motto of DANTON,

dare,' is the dictate, not of temerity, but of true
wisdom. The forlorn hope is occasionally not only
the post of danger but the source of safety. Pusil-
lanimity is always directly opposed to prudence,
while courage is oftentimes synonymous with
caution. Such, at this perillous juncture, appears
to be the case with Denmark. Were she to submit
to the peremptory demand of the Prussian and
Austrian ultimatum, were she, in fact, to relinquish
possession of Schleswig, she would sink at once
into a position of insignificant subserviency, from

which no after exertion would 1 e sufficient
to extricate her. She would abandon by that
