" But the policy of the Government is not a policy
of sentiment. When such questions present them-
selves, a government devoted to the country does not
engage in war before having everywhere exhausted
all the combinations which might secure and main•
tain peace.

"We have respected the treaty of 1852. We
have accepted every means for re-establishing

peace."
The Minister concluded his remarks on the Danish
question by expressing the hope that the Confer.
ence would give peace.

With regard to Poland tiZ. Rouhcr stated that the
question was an European one, and continued as
follows :

"We have suffered deeply by the events in
Poland and Gallicia, but we did not wish to trouble
the peace of Europe. We understood that collective
steps on the part of the Powers being no longer
capable of realisation France should no longer make
vain protests at St. Petersburg, but should leave
to God and to time the care of judging on which
side lay the great iniquity and on which side legi-
timate grievances."
On the subject of Congress the Minister said the
Powers who had refused the Congress had in-
flicted upon themselves the greatest injury. "France
was not less glorious and powerful after the refusal
of the Congress."
