tensity Of the drain OF gold from the Rank OF

THE DANISH CRISIS.
The Post says the Austrian and Prussian
representatives will doubtless quit Gopen-
hagen, and war may be formally declared but
1t is still sibie that active hostitiss NAV nor
instantly follow. Neither Austria nor Prussia
can possibly wish for a serious war with Dem
mark, and we suspect that their present policy,
however dangerous, is pursued from q sole
desire, in consequence of their defeat in the
Diet, to become, so far as regards the other
powers, masters of the present situation. The
allied Powers of Prussia and Austria on one
side, and Denmark on the other would be the
belligerent parties, and the German Confedera-
tlcn, that is to say, the minor German Powers,
would no longer have right to interfere. In
the pending dispute, Austriaand Prussia would
be the sole arbiters of the conditions on which
they would be willing to conclude peace.
