LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6.

Ir nations are indeed capable of profiting by
political experience, a fact which some sober thinkers
have denied, the difficulties which now embarrass oar
foreign policy will not be forgotten when the disap
pointment and vexation of the hour have passed away.
It will be strange if, from our present danger, we
cannot draw sonic lesson that may help us to future
safety. There is no Englishman outof office who does
not share to some extent the feeling of htimattion
to shame which the Earl of pay professed on
nursclay night, although few will be found to acquit
him of unfairness in the allotment of blame.

We have set ourselves to uphold a Treaty ;
we have advised Denmark, and she has
taken all our advice ; we have remon-
strated with the German Powei, and our
remonstrances have been set at nought. We
have now only the alternative of humiliation, or •
war waged at immense odds, opposed to great home
interests, and not called for by public opinion.
Barely this is a state of things which should
make all Englishmen reflect on a policy which
bears such fruits. Practical men, so-called,
may be indifferent to the course of our diplo-
macy if they can only prevail at the critical mc•
meat to prevent its rational development in • re-
sort to armed force. But any man whose se mil-
bilities as an Englishmen have not been hardened
by the too exclusive pursuit of wer'th, must be
anxious that peace may be maintained without
these terrible sacrifices of national reputation.
One enterprises have been too large for our
means, and when the day of performance has come
we have been found wanting. The cannot go on.
We cannot have the policy of England assimilated
to that of tho spendthrift who lives by bank-
ruptcy ; who launches into re Alms expenditure,
becomes insolvent, goes through the court, and
re-appears hilarious as ever, to enter on a new.
career of extravagance. We must either greatly
contract our international obligations or make a
resolute effort to fulfil them.

Earl GREY expressed the sense of most reflect-
ing politicians when he said, on Thursday night :
" If we are satisfied that Denmark in the
" right, it is a most serious determination on the
" part of this country to say that we will look on
" in tranquillity and apparent indifference while that
" monstrous act of injustice is being perpetrated."
There is no fear that the people of this country
will ever look with tranquillity and indifference
upon injustice in which they do not take part.
But the political action of the Government must
always rest on a calculation of the sufficiency of
means to ends, and many persons who never
thought so before are being led by the occurrences
of the last few months to ask whether that absti-
nence from the affairs of other countries which
Lord GREY so eloquently deprecated, is not be-
coming a necessary duty. We know the language
which hu hitherto been held on this subject by
those who control the affairs of this country. As
often as large armaments are to be recommended
to the House of Commons we are told of the
greatness of England, of the place we fill amour
the nations of the earth, and of the duties which
we owe as members of the great European common-
wealth. We know also the lofty scorn with which
those are visited who, like Mr. COBDEN, demand that
British power shall be used only for British interests,
and how ready is a servile prams to brand such • re-
quirement with the charge of selfishness and base-
ness. Bat what if we contrive to combine in our
practice the worst features of both policies, and
miss the advantages of each I Are the Poles, are
the Danes any better off than they would have
been—dothey get more help than they would have
done—if Mr. GORDEN'S opinions bad prevailed? And
if not, why not ?

These questions deserve to be well weighed
and fairly answered. It is intolerable that
the nation should be responsible before the world
for the magniloquent professions of the Government
maintained up to the hour of action, and that
just at the critical moment a Minister should
rise in his place in Parliament and intimate
