THE nANIsn souNn TOLLS.

We notice the following statement in the accounts from
Europe by the Baltic:
Accounts from Copenhagen state that the conference
the subject Of the Sound dues took place the 10th umo
when all the European States interested in the question
represented but the United States refused TO take part the
discussion under the pretext that they bad made certain
special arrangements with the Danish government in the
matter"
We take ii for granted that The above statements utterly
false in far regards the which il gives FOR the
refusal Of the United States to take part in the diplomatic
convention Of Copenhagen Can it be that the Danish
has amused the members Of the convention with
such story in the hope thus to bring them into certain
special srsngemen Of iss suggestion However this
may be- it clear that government European Ameri-
can will to pay in cash the estimated amount Of
The Sound dues for twenty to come 1t would indeed
be particularly sniable in other governments thus to cash
tvenyyears annuity when the annuity itself is not
due IL would be quite reasonable proposition to call
on Denmark to refund for twenty forty years back
There would be some justice in that.

ouR NATIONAL nEFENCES.

in late number Of the Philadelphia Argus we ind a
leading article in regard the inadequaey Of national
defences which is entitled to much consideration the
present time. The Argus says
The report of the Secretary Of the Navy to the pres
dent transmitted Congress the beginning of the session
December last yet the authentic exposition OF
our means maritime defence and attack before the public
The statement Mr. Lenha chief Of the Bureau Of Con-
.tructinn Equipment and Repair embraced in that report
makes obvious that although the Navy Register enameraes
vessels than thirty be effect
i've only ships line nine rigates, eighteen
sloops- war; four brgs, and si1 steaEers!
Even this comparatively Insignificant force il scattered
over the world and could be concentrated At
antc or Pacific coast less be stationed off the mouths
Of great estuares shield the cities their banks in
less than four Fix months"
The Argus concludes
can these thoughts inspire anxiety that Congress should
longer delay its In ordinary circumstances
the operations and perperiV of party may be allowed
but every hour wasted iucurs the risk Of
immense calamity and loss The national deences
mediate attention. If the federal legislature fail
the safety against quick surprises of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore Charleston, Savannah, and
New Orleans the consequences be oreseen and local
patriotism independent of party must do its best and
pare for the worst.
