Queens Speech, was adopted in both Houses Of
Parlisment without amendment.
In The House Of Lords Earl Derby reviewed at
| length the foreign policy OF the Government,
cOntending that It was injurious and humiliatlDg
| to England. The rejection Of the Emperor Ma
poleOn's proposal for European Congress, and
OF his invitation to recognize the government of
| the Confederate States, together with fruitless
negotiations with Russia respecting Poland, and
| the interference in the Dane German difficulty,
were severely referred to, and although he did
not oppose the address, he severely censured
Lord Russell's foreign policy.
Lord Russell, IN reply, explained the Dane

quite unfettered in the matter, never having
given the slightest promise Of assistance to Dem

the SchlesWigers, saying that Civil Commission
/ ers OF Austria and Prussia will assume the ad-
ministration of the Duchy Of Schleswig only, and
not, as had been stated, of schleswig and Hoi-
| stein,
The London Times says the British Govern
ment few days since made to the two German
| powers a proposition which deprived them Of
/ every possible ground for hostillties.
| England offered to guarantee the fulflment of
| the require conditions aud 10 embody German
| principles as to the Government of SchlesWig-
| Holstein in the protocol to be signed by the
| signers Of the treaty of 1852. When, therefore,
the troops Of the two German powers passed the

| adviser ofDenmark and possessed the power Of
| enforcing its own opinion.
