The Opinion Rationale expresses its decided disapprobation of the manner in which Praam is acting towards Schleswig, and affirms that neither moderation nor justice is manifested in the matter by Count von Bismarck. Its language runs thus : “ Small as it appears, this question of Schleswig is still one of great gravity. A little consideration will show that it encloses the whole future of Denmark, and that all is over with Jutland and even Copenhagen, in a given time, if the good right of the Danes does not triumph over the covetousness of Prussia. Count von Bismarck is unhappily worse disposed than ever. To hear him, he carries in his heart the clause of the Treaty of Prague, and has no dearer desire than to execute it promptly and faithfully, and in all its extent; but, at the same time, he adds conditions which render the guarantee absolutely illusory; he will only do jurtice to the Danes under the express reserve of obtaining from them in return the right to interfere when he pleases in their affairs, and of having a preliminary understanding with the Cabinet of Copenhagen as to the delimitation of the territory in dispute. This is an exceptionally delicate affair, since Prussia is not willing to relax her grasp in the slightest, and she refuses to restore the Isle of Alsen and the towns of Apenrade, Christianfeld,and Hadewleben, which she finds too convenient not to keep them. Decidedly there is no loDger in Europe any law bat that of the strongest, and we do not congratulate the Cabinet of Berlin on having accomplished a revolution in the world so contrary to all the principles of justice, divi-disaiioD, and democracy.”t.„Tc Paudqp —Nothing doing, and the market
