THE CALI. FOR A EUROPEAN CON
(,EESS.

GEEsS.
! We learn by our last European adviccs that
France has not only invited all tho second ana
tbird.cass powera to Join in the circumstances
in behalf of definite settlement OF the Polish
CAUSE but that the same invitation has been
extended to Turkey and Persia. II true, TINS
is significant fact. Both Turkey and Persia
are hereditary foes Of Russia, with which
power they have waged numerous wars, to
which they have been forced mOre than once I"
cede valuable portions Of their territory, ana
which they suspect. rightly or wrongly. oil iur-
Their intentions OF conquest Once introduced
into tie councils of European politics, their
influence must DO adverse to Russia. Whenever
Louis Napoleon might see fit to maze hostile
demonstration against Russia, he would be able
to count upon the support OF the two Mus'uiman
dynaslies.
| European Congresses for settling inter
national feuds are evidently destined to play
an important role in the future history OF
! Europe. The amount of business which claims
ADJUDICATION is immense. and the time when
/ II must be- attended TO- and when further de-
10y will be impossible, draws nearer aud
nearer. OF course, the five acknowledged
Great Powers will alone, on all great ques-
tion,, cast a decisive vote. But the combined
support of Powers Ike Italy, Spain, and
Sweden of Turkey aud Persa il they should
be admitted, aud OF Poland If IT'S independence
should be restored, would greatly strengthen
the influence OF any ole Of tie Great Powers
IN whose behalf that support should be gwen.

UoI,tein difficulty, which We learn by the last
advice. from Europe has recently led To some
wnrhks demonstrations OF the German powers
against Denmark.
This question has for foreign nations nothing

controversy va can state briefly: The King OF
Denmark is at the same time Duke OF Se-wig
, and Duke of Hostein, just "a the King OF
Sweden is also King Of Nor8ny-as the I'm.
peror OF Austria, before he overthrow the
Hungarian Constitution, was King OF Hungary
and rs the Kings Of England were for long
time Electors Of Hanover. The several coun-
tries which thus Happened TO be placed under
one sovereign were entirely Independent. vi

aud, especially. different law of succession.
The people Of iIOIstein, as well us the people Of
Siesw., clam that they have nothing 10 do with
the laws OF Denmark Proper, as they are only

no right to interfere in any quarrols that may
exist between the people OF Slcswg and the King
OF Denmark; but it Is claimed on the other hand
that, by ancient arrangement, Scswig and llo.
stein were united, aud that in consequence of
ihis arrangement, the people of Iostcin have

rights. whenever they are invaded from any side
