engaged in hostilities with an enemy who has
ports Of his own. The insular and peninsulaf
con6guration of Denmark has naturally iaa-
parted to her something of the policy kssa
position of England in this respect.
We scarcely need observe that the outbreak
Of war in Europe diminishes the likelihood
of Boropesn interference in the war which
we are waging. We have no doubt that the
news will be received with dismay in Rich
mond. For notwithstanding the previously
increasing indications that foreign monarchs
will leave the rebellion to its fate, this Ger
mano-D Danish imbroglio must destroy rebel
hopes that had not yet been abandoned. So
far, this misfortune for the old world is pro-
motive Of the national cause in our own coun-
try. We shall also be likely to be the gamers
by obtaining large carrying trade as neu-
trails, and by an enhanced demand for our
agricultural products. But we should very
much prefer to do as well in some Other
manner. qttHe 3rf
