Ina recent letter to THE TRIBUNE stated that
public opinion ia France, m expressed through
the columns of the Liberal journals and in tho
streets, in regard to the question OF the Sound
Dues, (ior the question is exciting vast deal OF
attention in France was rather favorable TO the
position taken by the United States This opinion
is still lust one but the same sentiments,
whether from Justice or policy the reader will
himself Judge, do not prevail with thu French
Government. The French Government is not only
listening with attentive ear to the propositions
which Denmark offers, but there is imminent
danger that it will accept them. Denmark agrees
to enter the alliance against Russia on condition
that England and France will, first by threaten
Ing attitude, and secondly by cannon, If neces-
sary aid her against the United States, and alter
the close Of the war protect her against Russia.
The Danish Government is determined not "
submit TO our d., maDJ, for to yield to the Utited
States would be- to give up tho principle on
which it bases it's claim, and all nations would
OF once enjoy the same right. Denmark -
deeply involved in debt to Russia, and France
ia holding out to her the idea that If she Will
Join tie alliance, the success of the allies VIII
be pTopOrtionally insured, and at the close OF
the war, such u settlement will be made as will
relense Denmark from her ties to Russia.
Without the Sound Dues Denmark would soon bo
20 completely insclvent that her Independent ex-
istence as a nation would be in imminent peril.
Do not these facts very clearly point out the prob

going On in the Cabinet Ct the French Miaister Of

United States are with her in the pfesen! contest,
and anxious to embrol so powerful nation in

Neither France nor England desires war with
the United States, either on their own account or
that of others, and if the Emperor OF France who
now controls the Government Of both England
AMI Franco believed seriously that the United
States would go to war against Denmark, az an
ally of France and England, he would be the last
man 10 enter into such an alliance. But it 80 hap
pens that the Emperor of France believes and
have the best of evidence for making tho asser-
tion-that tie United States is too weak in her
President and Cabinet, too weak in her Slavery
dissensons to boldly face the menaces which an
alliance of this Kind would offer her. He is in
