The Danish government has refused to permit
azarette establishment any part of the coast Of
Denmark for the English aud French fleets In the
Baltic which does not speak much for the friendship
Of the Danes for the Western Powers. The death of
Captain Hyde Parker. an esteemed member Of
gallant sesfaring family and who was killed In ac
ton against he Russians, has caused much exotic
ment amongst the British. His death will one day
be reveDged on the Russians. Admiral Cory, one
Of the Baltic admirAls has come lone i'll. The pro-
ject of taking the Spanish throne from the Bour
hons and giving il to Q Cobourg, and near relative
Of Prince Albert, is being ventilated In the tish
journals. The scheme appears to be TO take adsa.
tage OF the Spanish revolution and form an Iberiau
kingdom, by joining s. ain and Portugal and making
tie present young King Of Portugal king Of 1t. Per
APPS the visit of that youthful monarch
to England has thing to do with this project
Just before he common ed his travels there was
fierce attack in the English press the morals Of
the Queen of Spain, and diately after he arriv
ed In England, and had won golden opinions here,
the Spanish revolution broke out. This Is despe-
rate game for England to play, for the Emperor of
France, who loses sight of nothing, has an army Of
observation near Bay onne.
There is q sandal just now prevalent in England
that the same miserable tragedy is about to be acted
IL France which was played in Napoleon III cas-
tine ard which dishonored and broke the Ge4 II
the Empress Josephine. Hereditary succession vii!

accomplished. 10 the case of the great Napoleon,
the excuse was that Providence had afflicted The
Empress in the case Of Napoleon H.. the uni.
versal opinion is that life Of gaety and excess
has brought its natural curse on the Empc~1-.

The artfrl old Viscount s continually tripping up
his colleagues. Ee knows h3w cleverly he eau
humbug the House OF Commons and the country,
and be makes political capital out Of everything.
1t has be u attempted to prevent Englishmcn from
lending money TO the Russian government. James
Wilson, who Is Gladstones subordinate In the
government, objected to this, on the principles Of
free trade. Pamerston attempted to play the clap
trap part Of patriot, and opposed Wilson. He failed
but he succeeded in bringing dis redit on the ooall
divisions amongst the members Of II.

The Baltic fleet has left Bomarsund, aud thee a,.
pears SEINE likelihood That active operations Of some
sort or another were approaching.
At Constaniinople the diplomAtists are at 1t
again. and, Of course, making a mess of 1t. It is
stated now that Austrian influence in the DiYan Il
in the ascendant, and that disgracefu arrange
mGnts are making, which win tend more and more
to disgust liberals with the manner in which the
war has been conducted, aud tend to DEPRIVE
Turkey Of all the advantages she has gained
During the last war between Turkey and Rassia,
the latter experienced the same revsrses that she
has this war, but she ultimately succeeded In her
object at tina. time.
Parliament is to he prerogued In fortnight.
Never was there session which has given more
disqualification. The House of Commons ia fast
falling into contempt. More Of the good and
useful measures brought forward by the gov.
eminent have been abandoned. Some lay the
blame on the government; but the truth il,
TIE House is intractable and embarrassing
when any good measure is proposed, bu. perfectly
powerless or Indifferent in CON pelling tie govern
ment TO any paticnsl policy which would uphold
the honor and interest Of the country iss foreign
relations The coalition government too, has proved
failure The great talent that il brought together
is neuiraIised by the natural and irremcaable ion.
peIiecaons Of coalition, viz: want Of union. To
tais must be attributed in ges measurc the bung-
lirg and unsst;sact>ry manner IN which The Rasssa
war lae hfen conducted.
