To all intents aud purposes the treaty az regards wine is a deadlotter, Take of the duty entirely, the mi'lion in England will have none of it, “It is of liltle use to argue that once there was a gene ral taste for French wines in Engtand and Scotiand There exists nothing of the kind now, and, in the general belief, never will again. Mr, Cobden aseerts that the emall farmers and tradespeople will delight to use it and pasa round the long necked bottle. My observations prove quite the contrary. Idid not see one of that class who did not pronounce every specimen of French wine they had yet tasted asso much ‘rot gut.’ But it isa fact which very much strengthens the argument that th climate of Engiand ts unauited to these wines for general consumption; that Englishmen who have passed the greater part of their lives ip France, and drunk nothing else but its wines, find, after passing a few days ora week in land, their deeire for them entirely give way in favor of the fino beers and wines of a warmer character.

No one can foresee how ‘he present state of anxious suspense is to terminate. A genoral belief in an approach- Of such a contradictory nature, euch day so changes the political horizon, that at last all are bafiled. The fact is, @ war once commenced between any two European l'ow- ers must, from the very force of pregent circumstances, become almost a geacral one; ani thus a universal fear of the drend consequences is being eviuced. France is arming continually, 1 think sho is induced to do 90 from the fact that the question d’Orien! will very soo become as important a onc as that of Italy, Russia is driving to such a conclusion, and when tho downfall of Tarkey ar- rives Franco and Russia will act ia concert. That thie fact ig well known in England is certain, Tam assured on good authority the Court of St, James is making constan’ and energetic representations upon the subject to the government of the Emperor Napoleon. Lord Cowley b remonstrated urn the increasing ermed forces of France, until he murt be wearied of the whole affair. He get polite answers and aseurances 0° good will towards Eng- land; but still France imports thousands of cavalry horses, and eteadily angments her land forces, and, above all, her navy. What is all this for’ Why sbould France got revty for immediate action’ Not that she is determined to make war, but because the Emperor foresees that a struggle must soon begin, and he is getting ready to tako advan- tage of circumstances. This being realy to profit by whatcver event occurs is, no doubt, the cause of the Fm- peror’s great euccess up tothe present moment, You will notice that from the arrest of Mirée and the centequent action of the government, France now bas a right to collect the revenues of Syria. A sharp dodge that, avd as it only cost a few lives, euicides and the cownfall of a great speculator, why all right, I sup- pose, in the ostimation of those who think that the “end fies the means.”” Ap-opos of Mires, no one as yet can tell why he should be in prison. No charfe has been mavte against him, an os far as 1 can understand there is but the following lack of good faith to the bondholders of the Caisse de Chemin ve Fer to charge against him:—This is how Mircs managed. As gerant, or director of that company he used its funds to forward all speculations be thought geod. Did thoy succeed, the affair became his own; did they fail, the company stood the loss. Still, os he managed the funds go that great profits accrued to the company in other ways, I suppoze he thought it was all right. Now when about to launch a new affair Mires generally gave away large sums to persons whose emincnt positions enabled them to aid bis enterprise, and when making up bis qnar- terly accounts these pereous appeared debited, and then all was equare It waa the intention of the financier to pay up these different amounts somo day out of bis own | pocket, and thus balance all fx! The furkish lean, outof which be was to make such fabulous profits, would have enabled him to do this; but, alas’ for him, he was a'iiug Turkey to a fow more years of life, and Rasaia and Franco were Impatient for tne crash; so his ruin was decided. The eminent personages that stood indebted on his book bave, fam told, paid up—that is, the goverament bas done ro for them—and when at last acase is made on ‘inet Mires, he wil! be punished so a8 to keep him out harm's way, and none but the unimportant copnectes! | with him «iti suffer.

During this imterval the Danish government has eonvoked the Estates of Holstein and laid before them the draft of a new constitution, which, however, has failed to satisfy the obdurate As- sembly; and as the Diot, deviating in this single iastance {rem its invariable custom of siding with the govera ments against their subjects, bas declared beforehand that the execution decreed against Denmark ceuld only would mithorize Confedetatiwn, to march her frontier as soon as orders to are given by tho Diet. taken to morrow, if the Diet were sitting; but for the pre- sent its deliberations are suspended by the Exster holi daye, and they will not recommence till the 4th of nex month, whon the great question, or rather a little ques. tion, which, by the compiizations it may give rise to, has assumed the dimensions of @ great one, must be floally decided. There are still some hopes that the Cabinet of Berlin, who have taken the lead in this affair, aod without whos co-operation none of tne German governments can move, Fill listen to reason, and not persiat iv pushing matters to extremities. Whatever may have been the previous misconduct of Deumark in reference to her man provinces, it is evident that she is now willing to go any longils to conciliate them, and the rights che sctvally offers them are such ag are vot enjoyed even by thorze German Sates that boast of comparatively liberal institutions, let alone guch couo trice as Herre, Hanover and the two Meckieuburgs. Bus the fact is, thet no concessions made by the Danss to the people of Holstein would ever fully satisfy them, any more than they would reconcile the Italians and Hongariave to the rule of Austria, the lonians to that of England, the Christian rayahs to the sway of the Turks, or the Polet to the domination of Russia and I’russia. In all these cage it is not 60 much the sufferings caused by misgovernment as the antipathy of race and the feeling of nationa’ity that excite the people against their rulers; and of the Holsteinere especially it may be said that the wrongs they have tocompiain of ere as nothing when compared to those .ofieted op other German popu- lations by their native sovere and submitted to with hardly a murmur, and certainly without either the Dict or Prussia ever dreaming of armed intervoa tion in their favor. The remarkable events that are now enacting at War saw appear to have encouraged the Prussian Poles to com- menee a system of peaceful agitation similar to that which is being followed up with #2 much euccses by their Rus#.an brethrep. In the Second Coamber two re solutions have been proposed by Polish deputies: une cail- upon government (0 carry out the stipulations of the ty of V.epna, according wo which the territocy for Prussia, as delegate of that tr werly included within the Kingdom of Poland, though i vided among three Powers, should continue in pases on of it# national and political nts; and tho se cond, protest Ug agnlust the Germauizirg tendencies parstied by the Prussian authorities an! demeading the repeal of all logisistive aod olministrative rogniations curtailing the ure of the Polish languace oF substitating It is nob very probad.e, to be of the House Depoties will lead petit y iocensed at the Denes for attempt no German language aud netionality in ig, but fad it quite righ aod proper for t >the same thing in Pomerania, If you mtradictivn, they will tell you mane to to expinin this German ia ene gute yrache—« bighly polishe | and cuiti« vated lapgunge—the languuge oF Goethe, jer, Hegel, and a handrel other pete jlosophert—whercaa the Polish is a barbarous Imgo which nobody else cao underetend, nnd which the Poles themselves would do well to forge, as soon ws posal! thers is @ hereditary aver and the Siavonic, which is written in biood on aiapy a page of history; th German looks down on the Siavonian us an inferior the latter retalat th fee's ga of bitter resentment.

If the Caur had done what was expected of him, if he had put down the sgitation with « bigu hand and bom- barded Warraw into submission, the porition of Prnssia would be greatly simpiiiied, as whatever steps she might take tocrush the malcontent party in her own lolish inces, they would appear mili in comparison with tne proceed ings of bergneighbor; but it seems the Mug- covites have grown wise by oxperience, and are not in- clined to expose themeelres once more to the odium they incurred by their behaviour in 183t.
