ardly policy in respect to Denmark and Poland s the
Censure heaped upon her by Yankee Journals. They
STILL it appears, make hypOcrtiCal display Of phlAn
thropy for weak powers struggling against formidable
foes The Nav York Times, Of late da Q, takes Eng
land severely task for her AFFECT policy in respect to
Poland and Denmark but Of cou Sc, IL does not degn
single comment as to her base, coWardly and uTjust
policy towards the Confederate Slater. The argument
however has its application to Eugands course with
reference to u' and will be held to apply to our case
With more force than 10 those to which It was d.
rtced by every who estimate the relative posi-
tons of Denmark and ourselves in the sruege in which
We are each engaged.
It Is WORTHY of note that England does no. apply her
self to TIE adjustment OF any difficulty presenting the
least risk of compcatons to hersef She does not s
nv herself TO the settlement of the Polish difficulty, for
that would probably involve her 10 with Russia.
Neither DOS she tender her good Offices to bring
between the United Sta es and ourselves for that
according to Russes timd idea would erbroil her in
war with the former. This medittoy move in refer
enoe to the war in Europe will not relieve England Of
the odiun of the coWardce which has characterized
RusselIs foreign policy. Il involves no risk, and
more over the terms Of settlement are disadvanageous
TO the powers in Whose behalf the settlement is pro-
posed It IT, in short, movement to apPease the Ger
man powers, the interest of Denmark being basely
sacrificed with that view.
We doubt if an adjustment, made upon the proposed
basis, will not rather intensity public indignation In
England than otherwise The King of Denmark can
not be satisfied with suoh an adjustment AMI his ac-
ouiesccnce if gveE, will be under protest. for he would
hal DIV push matters to the extreme Of hostities If he
were not convinced Of the justice of his claim. Forced
submission to this act Of sintegratOn will no. neoes-
rly alter the conviction, and the amends Russell hoped
to make for his past course will prove anything but
satisf5c DRY to the English peope.
The alliance between the Prince of Wales and the
ng of Denmark, caused by thu marriage Of the Prn-
cess Alexandra OF Denmark by toe former, has pro-
duced warm SYM athy on the part OF Eugland with
the King. The English people CHERISH the most abiding
attachment to the Royal family, aud any act calculated
to impair the high standing of any branch Of IL e1ces
the mos. bitter indignation. This feeling OF attach
uent will not b. without its influence when the question
Of RussePs policy, in the adjustment OF the Danish
difficulty comes to be considered. concession TO the
German to tue extent indicated in the proposed
bsss of settlement will hardly comport with tue feel
ings of the English people in matter so seriously a.
octng the status among European crowned headso the
father in.laW of the Prince OF Wales.

Affairs in Europe.

The latest European news mentions the probability
OF an adjustment OF the difficulties now pending be-
tween Denmark and the German powers. II is stated
that England, Russia and Sweden have combined in
the work of mediation the basis of settlement being The
surrender by Denmark of all claim to Shlessuig except
the Island of Alsen. This it appears, is Epg'and's
proposition Il will be observed how she trenches upon
the rights Of the weaker power the more certainly TO
secure peace--for poor Denmark has no alternative
but to submit or abide worse fate at the hands of her
powerful enemies If the basis of settlement we're the
retention BY Denmark Of her present possessions the
German lowers would be unwilling to accede, and
hOslides would 90 on, to the Imminent peril of the
peace of Europe.
This sJrt OF Russell is evidently actualed by the re-
cent onslaught made upon his foreign policy by Earl
Derby. The movement Is significant Of a strong revo-
luton in the public sentiment of England for nothing
short Of the nminencs Of an overthrow of the Pal
merstonian ministry could move Russell to any step
calculated remotely to involve England in European
var. If Denmark declines 10 accede TO these terms,
lhe viii be le to the mercy of her powerful enemeF.
If she should aecede and the German powers refuse to
accept the proposed terms. England must 10
issue with these powers. In view, howeVe',
Of the powerful combinations which che has been
enabled to form for tho proposed adjustment the re-
suit of euch war would involve little or no damage to
her, In any event she is TO incur no great isk,
aud hence of course her readiness to interpose her
good Offices in the matter of this German Danish war.
