The New Danish Policy,

The Independance Beige of Sunday evening says
" The resolution suddenly formed by King Canis-
Can IX. to engage in direct negotiations for peace
with the hostile courts, in consequence of the disas-
ter of Alsen, sufficiently indicated that the pressure
of the war party at Copenhagen was beginning to
weaken: The addresses of the Chambers, approving
of the absolute abandonment of the Duehies in ex-
change for the complete emancipation of Denmark
from all Germanic influence, afford the best proof
of it. The Conservative journals first, and in their
wake the Dagblad, which is known to be the organ
of the party of the Eider, had shown without dis-
guise the desperate situation of Denmark, and. pros
claimed the necessity of taking a definitive part. It
was under these circumstances that King Christian
decided to send his young brother to Germany to
offer peace, and to dismiss the Monrad Ministry,
which was too much compromised for its continu-
ance in power not to be an obstacle to the success
of the negotiations which are going to be opened.
Tlas despatch which brings us this news adds that
the King has charged Count Moltke, who was for-
merly part of the Bluhme Ministry, with the
formation of a new cabinet. The necessity of
making peace, even at the price of great sacrifices,
being once recognised by Denmark, the German
powers probably will not refuse to treat on this
basis, and it is to be presumed that negotiations
will proceed rapidly. Among the rumours which
the brusque determination of the King of Denmark
has given rise to, one has been circulated at Paris,
according to which King Christian offered to the
allied courts to enter with the whole Danish mo-
narchy into the German Confederation on conside-
ration that the personal union of the duchies with
the crown of Denmark should be preserved. We
do not see what great advantage Germany would
find in such a combination, and we are certain that
it would please neither the Danish people nor the
European powers. We regard it simply as a con-
jecture."
The Temps of yesterday says that the entering
of Denmark into the Germanic Confederation would
be tolerated neither by France, England, nor Rus-
sia. It would perhaps tempt the German popula-
tion, by the prospect of supremacy in the Baltic,
but it would raise the liveliest resistance in the
Danish nation, the war party still preserving a
marked preponderance in the Rigsraad. " The
more we consider this Danish question as affected
by events,;the more," says the Temps, "we are
convinced that there is but one radical solution for
the difficulties of the present and the threats of the
future, and that is the Scandinavian union. Apart
from that there is nothing but the insufficient pal.
liations and convulsions of a government at bay."
