From the Spectator, September, 2.) THE ‘BALANCE OF POWER’' OUT OF REPAIR. The Convention of Gastein has proba bly given the coup de grice to most sen sible men’s faith in the European politi cal instrument called ‘balance of power.’ As the ‘‘provisional” disposal made of .quondam Danish Duchies by that docu ment,—of course these disposals are al ways ‘provisional’ till the nerves of Eu rope are a little accustomed to the new shock, and then they are declared per manent,—was the third instance of pure spoliation by a ‘great power’ within the last six years, and the spoliation in each case was ignored by the other great Pow ers, on the ground that their own inter ests were not sufficiently involved to give occasion to interfere, the fine theory that the great Powers of Europe are always sitting as a sort of committee to prevent encroachments on the weaker Powers which are dangerous in principle to the peace of Europe, can no longer hold out before the ‘‘logic of events.” The truth that as four out of five of the great Pow ers of Euarope are in fact all but despo- tisms, and as no despotism can pretend alarm at the principle of conquest so long as the conquest is made frem weak peoples and not so made as to threfiten strong thrones, it need~ a very special shock, a shock such as does not often startle the world, to make those great Powers feel any real uneasiness at an in- road, however cynical, upon the weak. The, gigantic wars of Napoleon did in- deéd for a time frighten the great Pow- ers of Europe into a certain community of antagonism towards anything which savoured of territorial encroachment. But that feeling has lang beon dying away. First, Austria gulped down the little republic of Cracow, when an empty and vain protest followed. Then Russia began to deal witn the ‘SICK maun’s’ pos sessions, and would probably have been permitted to annex them, had it not suited the French Emperor to make a name for his dynasty in Europe. The Crimean episode no doubt a little delay- ed the backsliding of the great Powers of Europe into their natural policy of greying unrebuked on their weaker neigh- ours. Nor were they easy enough to begin again, till France had stopped her own mouth by taking willing Savoy and unwilling Nice for her pay afi:er the cam- paign in Lombardy. At that proceeding Austria, Prussia, and Russia looked on with grim satisfaction, feeling no doubt that their own tarn would come soon; and only England—the one great power not despotic but free—professed any re sentment. Next came the turn of Russia to break through the treaty of Vienna by deliberately absorbing Poland and setting the opinions of the Western Powers at defiance. Last of .all, Prussia and Aus tria—or rather Prussia with Austria as a reluctant accomplice—have found their tarn come round, France and Russia not finding their own interests sufficiently deeply involved to take any ster on be haltP of Denmark. England, the only great power which has not followed the same policy, which indeed by her free, popular constitution, has been forced into a nearly opposite policy, and has given up the lonian Islands to Greece while all the other Powers were inclosing new ter ritory within their borders,—England, though herself giving instead of taking, has Peamod-fefén better than the other great:Powers to regulate her interference or non-interference abr(;ad by the amount S REEt Al ol D dpr e $Te. CBOILX AV S, of the selfish risk she might incur in the individual ‘case through remaining neu tral. Tuat England will only interfere when English interests are threatened, is, or appears to be, better established than the same principle in the case of any of the despotic States. The other Powers have stood aloof, as much from the wish for a grasping precedent which it may be convenient for them to quote and follow, as from any abstract princi ple of policy. Buat Eagland, while uni formly objecting in words to acts of pub lic robbery, has been praised by men of all parties for refasing to draw the sword except on her own behalf. Who, then, can now talk of ‘balance of power’ as a principle guarded by the great Powers, and favourable to the weaker Powers of Earope because pro tecting the latter from wanton aggres sion? The greit Powers, instead of really ‘co-operating to regulate the terri torial changes of Europe, take, each what it can get for itself, witMut seriously alarming the others for their own safety, and feels a modest confidence that no one will interfere so long as only the bittle neighbours are eaten up. That ‘balance of power' consists in indulging only a moderate greediness has been the priuciple of the great Powers since the assimilation of Suvoy and Nice by France. It they can only manage to take it turn and turn about, to annex, and to let their annexations keep a fair proportion to those of their sister Powers, the balance may still be retained, though constantly trimmed by eqnal additions to opposite scales. If France without Nice and Navoy balanced Russia without a digested and asstmilated Poland,| Prussia without Schleswig, and Austria without Holstein, thon Wrance plus Nice)and Savey piuva bly balances just as we!l Russia with an over-run and denationalized Poland, Prus sia plus Schleswig and Lauenburg, and Austria plus Holstein—or whatever she altimately intends to take in place of Holstein, when sire gives up Holstein to Prussia. Such, apparently, is the ouly kind of trimming of the balance which at present has any strong hold of the ima gination of the four great despotic Eu ropean powers. France has indeed a more generous conception of foreign poli cy and a certain amount of sympathy with the patriotic aspirations of distressed peoples, but her own conduct in relation to Nice and Savoy, her selfish views upon the frontier of the Rhine, and finally her task in Mexico, render her both unwil ling and unable to do anything alone in the interests of mere justice to prevent the other despotic Governments from fol lowing the example of moderate en croachment on convenient territory which she had set. But this selfish substitute for *balance of power,” this tacit agreement on the part of all the great Powers that each should let the other plunder in turn, so long as nothing is done to disturb the re lative importance of the more powerful States, is not a sort of balance that can long rest undistarbed upon its pivot. It was not this sort of balance of power which was intended when Switzerland was declared neutral, when Belgium was guaranteed against attack, nor even so late as 1852, when the succession was fixed for the throue of Denmark by that common consent.of the European Powers oo which the Convention of Gastein fur nishes so cynical a commentary. The only ‘balance of power which can have any sort of tranquillizing effect on Earope isa virtual co-operation of the greater Powers to check any one of their own number, or any second-rate power not of their own number, in the unjust use of force against the weaker independent States. At present it appears” to mean the ‘privilege to annex, limited only by fear of each other,” instead of ‘the privi lege to resist territorial change, limited only by respect for the legitimate wishes of the great populations.’ The effect of acting on the former principle is more and more visible every year in Europe. France has never yet laid the anger and the jealousy to sleep which her cynical seizare of Nice produced. The Radical party in Italy regarded it, and regard it, as more than an offset agxinst all her timely help. England has never yet quite forgiven it, and the resentment it produced and the feir of a new stroke of the same kind were undoubtedly the dis turbing forces which prevented England from coming to any hearty agreement with I'rance to protect Denmark. Rus sia has succeeded in swallowing Poland, and whether she can keep it down or not, she deeply Irritated the popular feeling both in France and England in the pro cess. Now that Prussia has followed suit by punishing Denmark for not unit ing Schleswig and Holstcin, and immedi ately separating them herself with pre parations for absorbing one if not both absolately into the Prussian monarchy, German popular feeling is roused into a similar flame of indignation, and the pco ples of Europe at least, if not their rulers, are fast learning to believe, with the po et, that “Earth is sick and Heaven is weary of the hollow words which States and Kingdoms utter when they talk of truth and justice.” A state of European feeling in which every weak State knows for vertain that Lhe Powers of Europe ex cept England will do each what is right in its own eyes, on condition only of not alarming each other, and England, though abstaining from all selfish aggrandize ment, has completely made up her mind to abstain also from all acts of unselfish generosity that may involve her in war, 18 not significant of a peaceful fatare. Some popular confidence in international justice is even more necessary than a mere balance of forces, to keep Europe at rest. The balance of forces may be unsettled any day by a genuine alliance amongst grme of th's: at present ma tually distrustful Powers. While each acts sullenly and alone for its own inter este there may be a sort of equilibrium which eonce disturb:d is never restored. But if two great Powers are once heartily allied for offence and defence, either for the sake of doing or preventing some @reat injustice, the smouldering irritation ot the peoples of Europe will be fuel to the flame, and we may have another war on a grand scale, which these eynical an nexations of territory from weak States: will in reality have provoked. Talk as we will, and as the laissez-faire school does, of the pacific results of non-inter: vention which the great Powers of Eu rope have recently been studying and practising, that will do as much to stir the passions of Europe as the most fussy and mis-timed intervention. Without a disposition to enforce justice among the strong, the weak can never be either hap py or quiet. Permitting your neighbour to be robbed in peace so long as you have reason to believe that you have some se curity against that unpleasant operation which he has not, will not promote the security of even the best guarded proper tylong.

From the St. Thomas Tiues Correspondent.) SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 18. Some two or three thousand of the peo ple of Schleswig have visited Copenha gen for a few days, and been right hearti ly welcomed with processions, ‘barquets, and every other manifestation of hospi tality and friendship. A letter from Co penhagen of the Gth instant, says “The {estivities in honour of the Schleswig guests came to a close yester day with a banquet at Klampenborg, and the visitors'are now on their way to Kor sor by rail. Hence they will re-embark for Schleswig in the six steamers in which they arrived. The proceedings yesterday at Klampenborg were opened by song set to a popular Danish melo dy, after which Professor Claussen ad ‘dressed the Assembly. He said ‘that, al though Schleswigers and Danes were no Jonger subjects of one and the same So vercign, they yet possessed important features in common—viz in manners and in épecch. Intellectual and national fra ternity were gifts they could not be de prived of, and Heaven would lestow its blessing upon them. A guest followed with a toast to ‘“‘the Common Danish t'atherland.” 1o the course of the after noon the aged Bishop Grundtvig made a speech. lle said it was difficult to sepa ratesthose who wished to remain together. The deep meaning of tliese words had been understood at an earlicr period by the Danish people, and he (the speaker) was convinced that 1o one would, in the long run, suceced in keeping men of Da nish opinion foreibly asunder, even if the whole of Germany came with her thun der. Although prospects in Schleswig were gloomy, the ties which bound their hearts together were unsevered, and if there no longer exists in North Schleswig such valiant and indcfatigable championw as Peder Hjort Lorentzin, llans Nissen, and Laurids Skau, at least the proteetion of the Danish .institutions still partially subsisting in Schleswig might be expect ed from the younger genera‘ion. His last wish and hope was the re-nnion of Schleswig with Denmark. Burgomaster Larsen proposed the health of the Sehles wigers. He trusted that, as the reigning King continued to bear the title of the Duke of Schleswig and Holstein, the time for the restoration of Schleswig to Denmark would some day arrive. The speeches terminated with an sddress from Orla Lehmann, former Anitmand of Jutland, who laid down the axiom that the bonds of fraternity which unite Sehleswig with Denmark can neither be torn by war nor peace It was not po litical union that first made the Italians a nation, und the Schleswigers, who were and wished to continue Danish. would not cease to.be Danes in consequence of the separation of their country from Den mark. Let them, therefore, renew their promise to hold together as Danes, both North and South of the Konigsau. Long live Denmark Numbers of telegrams were received in the course of the day from various parts ofiSchleswig by the Klampenborg Recep tion Committee. The message from Flensburg was as follows ““Oar wholé minds, all our thoughts are at this moment with you, beloved hrothers and sisters. We are filled with longing to see your dear faces and hear your faithful voices, which is not at pre uent‘é)ermitteq us but all cordially unite with'you from our inmost hearts in the wish that what is now severed may a2 A Ail 5 Frogmn: SET T ST.CROOLX AVLS. speedily be united. Happiness and bless ings to our common mother! Long live old Denmark A correspondent writes from Schleswig on the 18th ultimo:—¢“The number of Schleswigers taking part in the visit 10 Copevhagen has rapidly risen from 800, to which it was originally intended they should be limited, 10 upwards of 2,000. This is owing partly to the promise made by the committee of a free passage and entertainment without expense, and part ly so the expressed intention of the Dares to give their late countiymen a thorough ly hospitable and hearty reception. It is positively stated by the editor of the Fe drefand that thie Idea of the visit was started here. He dcclares tliat nobody in Copenhagen had any knowledge of the affair until about a fortnight ago, when a delegate fioth {he Schleswig ori ginators of the visit arrived in the Danish metropolis to ascertain whether a mass demounstration of the kind would be con sidered welcome. Receiving an affirma tive answer, he was advised at the same time to apply to the municipal council as to the reception of the Schleswigers in the town rather than to private individu els. Hospitable reception heing thus se cuarcd, the nomber of intending visitors rapidly increased. Danish calculations estimate that 750 ccme from the town and parish of Hadersleben, 300 from Apenrade and the vicinity, 650 from Alsen and Sundewitt, and 300 from the neighbourhood of Flensburg. Many more would have participated if” the lists had not been hastily closed, on account of the impossibility of furnishing means of trans port for a large number.” A Copenhagen dispatch of Tuesday evening says:—“The banquet given by the ivhabitants of this city in honour of the guests from Schleswig has just ter minated. Five thousand persons were invited. The number of spectators was enormous, and general enthusiasm pre vailed. During the banquet a coungrata latory telegram was received from 1,000 inhabitants of Flensburg.” From the London Times, September 16.) SCHLESWIE. FLeNsBURG, Scpt. 15. 4 preeiamation has just been issued by Lieutenant-Genveral von Manteuffel to the inhabitauts of Schleswig vpon assuming the government of that duchy. It says “By the Gastein Convention you are transferred to a separate administration under the authority of the King of Prus sid. Government by Prussia signifies jétice, public order, and the advance ment of the general prosperity. In as suming the government, I promise to re gard your interests, and expect obedience to His Majesty’s com:mands.” Herr von Zedlitz, the former Prussian Civil Commissioner in the Duchies, has undertaken the civil administration, sub ject to the authority of General Manteuf fel. He has announced that the govern ment of Schleswig will be divided for the future into four departments. Herr von Rumohr takes charge of the Interior, Herr von Rathpen of Pablic Worship, and Baron Richthofen of the War-De partment, while that of Finance is to be provisionally divided into three bureaus; a chief being sabsequeatly appointed. The Customs and telegraphic branches will be carried on at Flensburg, and the postal administration at Schleswig, each under its former chiefst. eve Tow. o RENDSBURG, Sept. 15. Dr. May, former editor of the Holstein ische Blittar, published at Altona, who was recently arrested by the Prussian ai thorities in that city, was yesterday con> veyed southwards in a closed carriage, under military escort. It is asserted that he was taken to Fredrichsort, where he will remain for the present. KiEeL, Sept. 15. Field-Marshal von Gablenz, the new Governor of Holstein, has arrived here, and has issued a proclamation addressed to the inhabitants of the duchy. The Field-Marshal expresses the hope that, as the representative of the Emperor of Austria, he would meet with the same kindness which had been shown by them to the Austrian troops. The proclamation then continues “I rely with full confidence also on your manly character, which has already shown itselt’ on former occasions, and on your sense of legality. This reliance facili tates the fulfilment of my mission, the dif ficaltics of which I do not fail to under stand. 'These difliculties ecan, however, be overcome by your quiet attitude and your real patriotism. I will maintain the autonomy of your Administration, which is so splendidly developed, and, above all, I will allow the native-born citizens of Holstein to share in the public management of the affairs of the duchy. “I promige you the conscientious ap plication of the existing laws, the utmost possible advancement of your moral and material prosperity, energetic and rapid execution of the duties of Government, and the strict exercise of an impartial ad ministration of the law. Holding aloof from the exercise of any decided policy, I am inspired solely by the desiie of re maining a stranger to all party intrigues, of striving incessantly to develop the prosperity of the country, and, strengthen el by the confidence of the popuia tion, of meeting the Justly founded wish= es of the people.” Curiovs ELEcTRICAL EFFECTS PRODU CED BY LIGHTNING.—A very strange pro perty has recentiy been observed in the bodies of persons, &c., struck by light ning—the power of giving a strong elec tric shock when touched. It might be supposed that the electricity would be completely carried off by the conducting power of the human body, and especially if' that power were rendered more com plete by the presence of moisture. Such, however, is not the case, and it is not pos<ible to explain the anomaly by means of any principle furnished by the “present state of our knowledge. The facts, how ever, are indisputable, the two foilowing cates having been brought before the Academy of Science, at its sitting on the 10th of July, by M. Boudin:—On the 30th of June, 1854, a man was killed by lightning in the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, and the body remained exposed for some time to a very heavy rain, '&hen the sterm was over, two soldiers, who attempted to take the dead body away, received a voilent shock the moment they touched it. The_artillerymen, charged with the removal of telegraph-posts, which had been thrown down at Zara, in Dalmatia, by a storm, on the Bih of September, 1858, at first, on laying hold of the telegraph-wires, two hours after the lightning had ceased, experienced slight shocks, and then ‘were suddenly thrown down, one of them having his bands severely barned, and the other re maining fiitfivaitn any ‘sign of life.
