1.-THE two sectors of ROyalists should have
raised at the present moment a question
which cannot be satisfactorily settled until
after the establishment of definitive form
Of Government. Aud the AssenJlce No
tiomals of Saturday confirms our belief by
the positive assertion that all these state
ments are inexact. "The only true an
nouncement lie, that there is com plete and
absolute union between the Princes of the
House OF France; but otherwise no defini-
tive plan has been agreed on. no decision
has been taken, and no conference has been
hetd with regard to their future line of
conduct.
SPEECH OF THE DUO be BRoGLIE.
AT such q moment any utterances of the
government were sure to be listened to
with more than ordinary interest, and the
speech OF the Due de Broglie to the Council
General of the Eure last week was eagerly
seized upon and. telegraphed throughout
Europe. We must add that the teiegra.
phic version entirely failed to reproduce
its more delicate points. The Duke began
by assuring bis hearers that the struggle
in whica they were called upon to support
tho Government was not one directed
opinion. but against principles destruc.
tive OF social order. This struggle, he con-
tinued would be q long one, and success
would be impossible without the concur
renee of all honest men. The Government
could promise them ga vigilant admins
tratio1, devoted to the iDflexible carrying
out ofthe laws" but it could do nothing
"without them, without their courage, and
above all their union" This union of

| differences, had constituted hitherto the
strength of the Assembly, and the country
expected that it would be maintained.
| And when the time came for 1t to be the
duty of the Assembly to deal with grave
political problems, it would be able, he was
sure, after entering on the discussion with
perfect Liberty and honesty, to solve them
In q spirit OF concord, imposing silence on
al personal perdilections for the cake Of
the safety of society. The best guarantee
for this union, M. de Broglie went on to

duty, and the Assembly, " continued M.
de Broglie with considerable cleverness,
"has carried, think, as regards the late
President, to point which it could not have
overpassed without abdicating it's own
rights or neglecting other more imperative
duties" But ''the credit due to services

GERMANY AND DENMARK.
If We are to take the united utterauces
of the semi-inspired press throughout Ger
many as any indication of the Imperial
policy, the great desire of the Government
has been to bring about SEINE joint inter
vention in Spanish affairs which might se-
cure for a few years the existence of some
Government other than that of Don Carlos.
If however any overtures of the kind have
really bee:s made to foreign powers, they
have not been successful, aud Germany
has in this quarter experienced check
But she la active also in another direction
AS long ago as the interview with Herr
Kruger, to which we alluded at the time,
Prince bismarck expressed his recognition
of the right of the North SleswicEers to
agitate for the execution of the fifth article
of the Treaty of Prague, though he could
hold out no hope oS his being able to sat
isfy their demands, unless the satisfac-
ton were coupled with such conditions
as would appease the forty millions of
Germans at his back. But when the Crown
Prince OF Germany was returning the other
day from Sweden, he was met unexpecteJ-
~ ut Malmo by tho Crown Prince of Dem
marck, who brought an invitation to the
Danish Court. The German Crown Prince
accepted it, and has been received with
great cordially by the Royal family, and
invested with the Order of the Elephant,
though the inhabitants of Copenhagen
have naturally been very reserved in their |
attitude towards him. 1t is now alleged |
that propositions have been made that the |
North Sleswicke5s should he allowed to |
retatn to their Danish nationality on con- |
dition that Denmark enters into the Ger
man Empire--not new idea-and that in |
that case the best possible terms will be |
granted to the Daoes, and the position of their !
Sovereign will he made even more adyap-
tageous than that of the King of Bavaria.
