LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1864,

The Foreign Policy, respectively, there of France
here of England, has very recently, has within the
last few days, has almost we had said within the
last few hours, received a rather startling illustra-
tion. An illustration, in each instance, indicative—
to the comprehension of the whole world—of the
influence won by that contrasting Foreign Policy
to the two Governments. Tee influence of France
is thereby demonstrated—again—not for the first,
bat yet once more—to be very considerable. The
influence of England is thereby, on the contrary,
shown with frightful vividness— for the first
time—to be infinitessimal, to be invisible, to be
wholely inappreciable, if not absolutely non-existent.
Of the success of the Foreign Policy of France, of
the brilliant success of that Foreign Policy—it is
Mexico that has afforded this latest illus-
tration. Of the failure of the Foreign
Policy of England, of the utter and ignominious
failure of that Foreign Policy—it is Denmark that
yields (to a nicety just precisely at the same
moment) this no less conspicuous illustration.
Mexico, the state of things in Mexico, the progress
of the newly inaugurated Government of Mexico,
the rehabilitation, there, by French influence, upon
an entirely nearbasis, of the polity,of the com-
merce, of the administrative and legislative institu-
tion of Mexico (no longer as a chaotic Republic,
but as a well-ordered, or what is evidently fast be-
coming, a well-ordered Empire, under the rule of
the Austrian Archduke recently transformed into
the Emperor MAXIMILIAN)—each and all of these,
mail atter moil, are affording conclusive testimony
of the Triumph won by the Foreign Policy of
France, on the oppositeehores of the Atlentic,under
the Lietuto dizcotion of that Foreign Policy really
by SAFOLEON IR, ostensibly by his Minister of
DROUYN DE L'HUYS. According to the
State, M.
last advisLe2s received from Mexico, under date the
new order of things, there, in
B,h ultimo, the
that country
that neT.v!y reorganised country,
only just eo reeuvcred from the bonleversement
resulting from a prolong sd revolutionary epoch, the
hes* order of things there, according to these last
accounts, from the actull scene, yonder, of these
Gallic transformations, is in the highest degree
Eatisfacstory—is satisfactory beyond even the most
slnguine expectations. From Mexico there re-
turns now not only a large proportion of the French
army, of occupation but, simultaneously with the
return 'of these victorious soldiers, there came
