day given by the Lord Mayor of London. to her
Majesty's Ministers. The right hon. gentleman. in
responding to the toast of the evening, adVertad to the
war between France and Prussia, and described it as
the most melancholy event this century has witnessed.
The ideas that necessarily occur to the mind of an English
Minister, when unhappily he arrives at one of those
dreadful crisva of European affairs, are these—security
and neutrality—(cheers), It is his buaines.—it is the
business' of a British Ministry, whatever be its political
colour, at all times, but especially at such times as
these, to inspect its establishments as they are, and
if anything be wanting, then by judicious meanires to
propose and provide that this gauntry .hall, humanly
speaking, be made secure from contingencies which may
arise. There never was a period, be said, whether we
look at the oondition of the great eatablishmente of the
army and navy of the country, with the auxiliary forma,
or whether we look at the united temper and feeling of
the eountry, at which a diecusann of oar position. pain-
ful as in some respects it must be on account of the
circumstance. out of which it has arisen, could yet be
met by a Government with a greater security,
or with a greater conviction, that whatever might
arise this great nation will be found equal to it. duties.
But, my Lord Mayer, what are those duties? Those
duties, getting snide anticipations of event, that have
not arisen, and that I trust and believe will not arise,
are to maintain a just, absolute, impartial, and dignified
nentrality—(cheers.)—Mr. Cantwell, in responding to
the toast of the army, navy, and volunteer'. said the
number and efficiency of those branches would
challenge comparison with any former times.
