DENMARK AND THE CONFERENCE.
COPENHAGEN, JUNE 1, 11 A.M.

The Dagbladet of to-day expresses itself violently
against England's proposal at the Conference for
the division of Schleswig, and demands that the
Government should meet it with a decided resist-

ance.
The organ of the Conservative party likewise
prefers war to the acceptance of this proposal.

FRANCE.

PARIS, JUNE 2.

M. Durny, Minister of Public Instruction, has
presented a report to the Emperor, pointing out
the abnormal position occupied by M. Renan, who
by a measure of public order has been incapacitated
for the last two years from fulfilling the duties of
his Professorship at the College of France.
The Minister says :—" It is as contrary to the
good administration of the public funds es to the
dignity of a distinguished scholar, that he should
be compelled to submit to the anomaly of receiving
salary without fulfilling his functions. Not being
able to restore M. Renan to the chair which
he occupied on a single occasion, it is expedient
to loyally terminate the present abnormal state of
things by appointing M. Renan to other functions."
In consequence of M. Duruy's report, an impea
rial decree has been issued, appointing Lll. Renan
Aeeistant Curator of the Imperial lebrary.
The ceremony of the consecration of Notre. Dame
took place yesterday as announced. Mgr. Batboy,
Archbishop of Paris, went to t he church on the pre•
vious day, and prepared the different sacred vessels
to be used on the occasion. The ceremony com-
menced at seven in the morning with closed doors ;
it was long, and in strict conformity with the decrees
of the congregation of Rites of May, 1835, and July,
1845. The doors, the walls, and the altars were
all blessed by the consecrating prelate, and the
sign of the cross made on them with water and oil.
Ono of tho meat chare.cteristic parts of the cere-
monial, and which represents the alliance of the
Church of Asia with the Latin Church, is that in
which the prelate, mitred and crczered, and
commencing by the ic,fi; mein of the building,
writes diagonally on the flier with the end of
his crozier all the letters of the Greek alphabet,
and then, beginning by the opposite corner, writes
those of the Latin. It was only at half-past
nine that the doors were opened to the public,
who had assembled in groat numbers waiting
for admission. Thu psalms prescribed by the
ritual were then sung. Mgr. Derboy was assisted
by Mgr. Rivient, Bishop of Troyes, and Mgr.
I.4conatier, Bishop of Montpellier. The other pre-
lates present were Mgr. Trioche, Archbishop of Ba-
bylon, and the Bishops of Meaux, Pamiers, Bois,
Orleans, Auras, Bourbon, Sure, Chartres, Parium,

and Nancy. Mgr. Riviret celebrated the mass
performed after the consecration. Mr. Hamille
Director of Public Worship, was present to repre•
sent the minister of that department, and Colin
do Montalembert, M. Thayer, senator, and M. Col..
nudet, Councillor of state, as members of the Counci
of Wardenship for the cathedral.
" We have reason to knew," says the Patrie,
" that prior to the last sitting of the Conference the
Danish Government made known to the Powers its
determination to re.establish the blockade at the
expiration of the delay fiaol for t 1.13 suspension of
arms."

PRUSSIA.

A communication from Berlin, in the Monde,
says:—" To judge from several indications, parti-
cularly from the language of some semi-official
personages, a certain disaccord prevails in our
Governmental circles. Whilst an agreement has
been come to with Austria for completely separating
Schleswig-Holstein from Denmark, and which the
other Powers have consented to, an understanding
is far from having been arrived at as to what will
be done to secure the independence and autonomy
of the Duchies. All the Government organs are
unanimous in delaring that Prussia ought to derive
some advantage from the war, and the Berlin
Cabinet will at least have to exercise a certain
supremacy over the Duchies, secured by some mili-
tary stations, and a naval port on the Schleswig.
Holstein coast ; and no one can prevent himself
from thinking that the secret idea of the Prus-
sian Government is still to unite Schleswig-Holstein
to Prussia. Even the Kreutz Zeilurig wishes abso-
lutely to secure the situation of the Duchies at the
same time as the position of Prussia in the North,
I am therefore obliged to say that, notwithstanding
the declaration of Austria in favour of Prince
Frederic VIII., his chances have little iroproved.
The Augsburg Gazette, whose relations with Vienna
are notorious,even declares that if Prussia had such
projects, it could not be without a certain accord
with Austria, and that the Empire is now more
anxious to maintain the alliance with Prussia, than
to show herself jealous of her aggrandisement in a
country where Austria has no serious interest in cow*
diction with that of Prussia. As the intentions of the
Prussian Government, already pointed out, still
exist, and as the accord between the two great
German Powers is in no way shaken, I have every
reason to to think that Austria will consent to all
extension of Prussian power, in order to secure
nor co-operation. in anticipation of certain eventud
alities, which may take place in Italy as well as the
Lower Danube."

The National Gazette of Berlin says :—" It al'
pears certain that Bavaria has taken measures for
holding conference of the States which have hitherto
shared her views on the customs' question. Thig
Conference is to take place at Munich after the closo
of the negotiations now in progress at Vienna, or in
ab ut a fortnight. But the Bavcrian journal°
admit that several of the States which took part
in the first conference of Munich wilt not be repreo
seated on this occasion. This fact appears certain,
at leist so far as regards Frankfort and Electoral
Hesse. The principal eject of tha present preli"
'pillory negotiations at Vienna is the renewal of the
Treaty of 1853 between Austria and the ZAverein,
which will still reetia the clause relative to a pos.
terior customs' union. Bavaria is said to have
limited her action to an offer to join Austria in
asking Prussia to endeavour to obtain from the
French Government a modification of Art. 31 of the
Franco-Prussian Treaty of Commerce.",
