II viii be remembered thet when thu allies
were about to commence var on the North
ern Bear, there were strong hopes expressed
that Sweden and Denmark would join them,
and some aid was even hoped for from the
hardy Norwegians. The old grudges against
the Bear. Il was thought, would certainly ex.I
cite the Danes and Swedes, and the promise
Of the restoration Of Finland to Sweden
would insure the cooperation Of the latter,
If that were wanting. But; instead of warm
ing in the cauSe Of the allies, those iations
have maintained the most perfect frigidity.
Nor is il likely that their relations to the great
powers viii become less icy. They are cool
enough to reflect well and calculate their in
tsrests closely. An intelligent American
lately travelled in Denmark and Sweden, and
his political impressions of the people are
thus given by Mr.. Walsh Ito whom they were
communicated in one of his Paris letters:
The sweSes, ~ . natter, retain their ancient dis
i not to the .ney 20
the Government which does not believe in the prsc-
ticsbiiity Of destroying the Russian power in the
JNRckb-fook
maxim for kings and cabinets. Russian resentment
might be more formidable than British and French
protection ehicscious. AZ to the Danes, they are
comparatively Indifferent to the war they hsve
not the least disposition to take part; they are not
fond Of the Russians but they entertain no predec-
ton for the British aud have not forgotten the bonn
hardment of Copenhagen and the seizure of their
feet. Moreover. their domestic dscords-the con.
test relating to the consitution-predomnste over
every other concern.
SENATOR BENTON In NEW YoRK-On Mon
| day night Senator Benton delivered lecture
before the Mercantile Library Association
of New York. He had a large and attentive
audience. The lecture was the same he has
delivered in st. Louis and Baltimore, on the
| resources of the Great West-its geography
the best route to the Pacifc-and the val
liable services of Col. Fremont The Herald
played him bad trick on the occasion. 1t
published his lecture on Monday morning,
intimating that those who wanted to see Old
Bullion could go and see him, and those who
| did not, could read his lecture in the Herald.
| In its peculiar notice of the venerable Mis-
sourian. it has the following remarks:
He has outlived his generation, outlived his par
ty, outlived his thirty years In the Senate and is
still tough. rugged and strong as one OF those veg
tern buffaloes of which he SO much delights to
| speak. He belongs to no party now; he belongs to
| history and to the country. He has survived his
political rivals, written his own biography and Ia
