.4 Whatever men or petty may be in power in this country,
I do not believe that any change will take place in our
foreign policy. I believe that all polities= and parties are
united In saying that the policy of lb* present government in
regard to the present important crid• is the only true policy
that en be followed . (Cheers.) However we may differ on
War political queries, we axe agreed, I think, la the opinion
that the strictest neutrality, and non.inerforence on every
other point but to preserve the peers of Europe, is the
true and the wisest poliey—(ahsers) and if unfortunately
war druid break out, that we should take no further part
is the struggle. The post and the future policy of the go-
reams= has been so ably detailed ht the speech of Lord
Dfrby at the Lord Mayor's diner—in that admirable speech
whichl suppose everybody of testes= intelligence meet have

from the struggle, and to keep ourselves ready for action at

through God's assistance, his era= es to put down and to
ash a most formidable mutiny, which atone time threatened
to deprive her Majesty of her Indian possessions Let us
