Tae Great Ch st Demonstration—The Phi- Josophy of the Affair. [From the London Times, April 15 } The Pareians are exceedingly cono*rned that we hare let the tenth pass without a revolution. They are almost prepared to bs angry with us for so culpable a Diindaess to our ows real interests. It is natural, of course, that eer whe aro satisfind with the political in- stitutions they heve chosen themselves, should wish othsrsto partake of their blessednets. Philanthropy, however, is generally officions, and scmetimes even vin- dictive. The Notiona! betreys eu inclination to punish us with good.

Iu the course of afew sentences it ingeniously comtrivesto ssy something unpleasant of each class eoncerned in this political mistake.

Im fact, it is a rule rt pd France to make a total change in her system twice, al ant, Hi age. The sovereign, or whatever the thing t retg no sooner installed than he sees the pha- x of destruction drawn up against him. Daggers, ri flas, inforcal muehines, legitimists, republicans, libellers, eonnpirstors, émeutss, coalitions, organizations of every kind, secret or optn, threaten his existence or his power, He is driven to obey, before all things, the ic- Stinot of eelf-preservetion. Hence = desperate and un- worupulous couservatism, which is always compelled by olroumatanees, and whieh in retnrm continually provokes tho attack. The more {t resists, the more it deserves to die. Its tenacity of life is only a fatal obstinacy. Its Victories are only delays. The cuirass only staves off its doom; ths verdiot of the court that sends the aseas- y sin er the liveller to prison only creates one more who witl ulttma‘ely triumph.

[From the Londoa Limes, April 15 ] Tho rorult of the collision which has taken pla Bau, near Flonsburg, in the Ducby of Sobleawig. ispurgents from Hols- , eUMlciently proves that all that is neoded to bri, natty question to a final settlement is to ‘e the king of Denmark to settle Lis own affsirs with bis own sutjacta. We entertain no doubt that the sturdy little D. ih or 18.000 men is more ¢ ted party ia tha duobles lon which has taken y in muster; and in the place the latter have been i ted. Tha suocess of military operations carried om in these duebiss and still more if thoy ex- tended to Jutland and the islands of ths Danish mou. sroby, depends very much upon the al support to be given to the Iand forces. In this respect the Danes have @ vast euperiority, not only over their German Confedera Iviand as to take umerous fords, inlets and rivers of the country, and m of atrength or importance, may easily b d ti anes poseci 2 al and especially re. possession of the city ot Remdsburg, lying on the confines of the two duchies wad upon the river Elder. We know not by what au- thority this military demonstration hes been made. It might, indeed, be competent to the German Diot to or- ‘er the ocoupation of the duchy of Holstein as 2 portion of the territory of the confederation, after due commu- nication with the sovereign of the country. But it hes seauredly pot been the practice of the German Diet to interfer by force of arms on behalf of insurgents, end ugainat their undoubted princeand ruler In reality. it is notorious that this advance ofthe Prussian troops is not am act of the Germanic Diet, however it may be ap- proved by the anarchical essemblies new debating public affairs at Frankfort or elsewhere The king of Prussia ‘bas acted solely on his own impulse, or rather on the im- bulee of that excited populace which now controls the Fohoy of bis government and he affects to put into exe- cution measures which the Germanic Diet has not de- oreed. We might add mero—we might say that at this moment no decree worthy of that name could ema- owtefrom the Dict at Frankfort, which is itself ia the per- plexities of @ revolution. The only just.and l¢,-al course vould be to abstain from any interference, whieh it is impossible to justify by any tangible right or by the principles of imternational jaw. But wo epprohend that the matter will not rest here. Ina few days the will have driven the insurgents out of Soble gether. The Duke of Hoistein is not, we presume, cluded by the military ooou; from re entering the capital ork if he were, it is but too preten- sions which have taken the Prussians to Rendsburg on the frontier will take them beyond it. The passage of the Eider by a Prussian regiment, is as mueh an ect of war against Denmark as the passage of the Ticino by tne Sardinions was an act of war egelest Austria; and the two oases present a most striking and deplorable analogy—with this diff rence, that the King of Sardinia has wt least espoused the weaker ov the King of Prustie hax taken care io put hicself head of a scone.

Jutland may be overcome, though e there the nature of the country is by no means fi ble to euch military operations But the citadel of ih power is in ite islands. Zs: ouring islands contain the largest share of the aboriginal population of the realm. Copsn- begen stands on the extremity of there insular ovasts which command the Sound. And the only sucosesful attacks made upon it have been either by superior ma- ritime power, or by the eee of an army over the Lit- th it and the Great Belt, on the when those aims of the sea al means are very se- rious injuries on the mercantile intorss'y of Northern Germany. They can close the Baltic agsivet the Prus- cian flag : they may biookado the Eibe ; and none of the ‘ussian ports are safe from a coup de main. In the pro. sent aspect of the sfairs of Kurope we bave no doubt that Denmark will be able to maintain her rights until such time as other events will place an honorable peace at her disposal At the same time the questiou is one which pre emi- nontly admits of, or rather calls for, mediation. The in- habitants of the duchies may be more readily induced to lay down their arms upon the recommendation of a dis- passionate adviser, than upon the command of their Sovereign. The Germanio Confederation, and especially Peussia and Hanover, may see reason to pause before they commit themselves to an act of violence which murt 80 deeply affoet their character in this country, and which may prove the cause of formidable hostilities in the North of Europe ; and the King of Denmark hasalready intimated his readiness to accept the good offices of (he Sritish Crown. Our only fear ia that the offer will arrive too late. Nethiog ie more probable than that the Ger- man foroes have aiready crossed that boundsry which hes been for immemorial eges the terminus ofthe empire of Germany, as of Rome ; and if 80, the care can only be dealt with as Le clg ‘end unjustifiable fevasion ot jons. Nothiag can be more indicative of the total absence of political authority and counsel on the part of the leading German governments than such a fatal determi- nation. They know that immense preparations for war ig made upon the Vistula, and nothing is more ‘ebable than that th net p without a Russia. On the sido of France, they may now reeeive arsurances of gool- will, but they are exposed at all moments of diffcul'y to aggression on the Rhime.
