OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

(From the Round Table.)
The position of the United States, as one of the
leading nations of Christendom, has assumed such
vast proportions that the consideration of the gene-
ral principles determining our attitude toward
foreign nations and communities urges itself with
greater force upon public attention than at any pre-
vious period of international history,
The Monroe
doctrine, relating in its wider sense to the annihi-
lation of European influence and power on the
American continent, has lately been developed into
the Seward doctrine of downright acquisition of
powers, and whatever

people were taken at
any time in regard to the acquisition of any new
territory—whether it were Alaska or St. Thomas,
or Cuba or Porto Rico, or Canada or Greenland
—the chances would be in favour of an affirma-
tive vote. We believe that the dangers arising
from heterogeneous races and from a formidable
addition of public officers are, on the whole,
counterbalanced by the advantages that are likely
to accrue to our safety, commerce, and industry
from the annexation of these new arenas ; while
the adoption of a civil service system based
upon stringent tests of integrity and qualification
would tend to diminish the dangers of new addi-
tions to the appointing power and the consequent
abuses and demoralizations. At the same time, it
cannot be denied that if the various races scattered
auspices of American institutions. From
upon this continent are to be elevated in the scale
of civilization, it can only be done under the in-
spiring
the broadest point of view of humanity there would
seem to be a clear gain to civilization when any of
these communities are admitted to Americau citi-
zenship, and, consequently, to education, political
liberty, and the avenues to industry and wealth.
Great Britain herself, according to De Foe, is
made up of the mud of all nations, and without
wishing to apply this disparaging epithet to the
various races of our own community, it is not less
true that the Anglo-Saxon claim to the exclusive
parentage of Americans, at the present stage of our
census, ceases to have much practical value. The
Celtic and Teutonic elements are far more powerful
at this day than the English elements were in the
early days of the Republic ;
and apart from this
problem of preserving the institutions of our fore-
fathers under the co-operation of these in many
respects heterogeneous influences, there is the other
problem of lifting up the Africans and Asiatics to our
standard of civilization without crushing them as we
have crushed the aboriginal Indian races. Faith in the
stability of the republic is not wanting. What is want-
ing is comprehensive statesmanship, and a general de-
termination to select only the best qualified men for
executive, legislative, and administrative functions.
Another consideration suggests itself
which there is, we fear, some ,and in regard to
misapprehension even
in official quarters. The opinion seems now to pre-
vail that, in order to proceed with the progress of

territorial acquisition on this continent without mo-
lestation by foreign powers, their jealousies must be
overcome by the assurance that this Government
and people will henceforth ce.ise to manifest any
interest in the progress of freedom in Europe ; or,
in other words, that we shall be at liberty to
Americanize the whole American continent pro-
vided we frown upon any movement that may
tend to the Americanization of England and
Europe. We may spread the gospel of liberty
among negroes, Esquimaux, and Chinamen, pro-
vided our foreign ministers and consuls, our Presi-
dent and Secretary of State, our Senators and Re-
presentatives, refrain from making the moral in-
tluence of American ideas felt in regard to the pro-
gress of Italy, Greece, Hungary, or to that of the
masses of the British, German, and French people.
This is surely in some respects narrow and un-
dignified policy. It certainly seems tantamount
to proclaiming to the world that we are in-
different to any kind of tyranny, whether prac-
tised by emperors, kings, sultans, or popes, as
long as we are left at liberty to clutch more
land. Not that we are in favour of international
entanglements or of quixotic crusades in favour of
a universal Americanization, but we contend that
unless our progress of territory in comparatively
barbarous States goes hand in hand with the pro-
gress of our moral influence in civilized or semi-
civilized countries, we fall from our high estate.
We increase in size, in that case, in the same pro-
portion that we decrease in moral prestige. It
would certainly place us in a much nobler position
should our foreign policy be so conducted that
whenever a collision occurs between a superior
race struggling for liberty and an inferior race
bent on keeping it in bondage America should
lift up her voice in favour of the oppressed na-

tionality, as was done in the days of Clay and
Webster in regard to Greece and Hungary, and
lately in respect to Crete. Our foreign policy should
be conducted in such a manner as to give the
assurance to mankind that, although we may not

think proper to interfere in foreign affairs by the
force of arms, all the political, diplomatic, and moral
influences of this country will be thrown in the
scale of liberty and progress. Unless this be done,
our foreign ministers will remain only more or less
ornamental accessories of courts, and foreign min-
isters at Washington will continue to constitute a
little monarchical coterie unwholesomely encourag-

ing to the unrepublican and frivolous ingredients of
American society, and to reside in this country not
so much for the purpose of representing to their
governments the bright and promising aspects of
our polity, as for that of playing the parts of con-
ceited critics assuming feudal airs of superiority over
a superior civilization. Unless this be done, they
will continue to inform their emperors and kings
that all this country in reality wants is more dol-
lars and collectively more empire, and that all
its protestations about liberty and humanity are
simply theories—the mere impracticable effusions
of demagogues.
Precisely at this moment of the aggrandisement
of our empire we should augment the manifestation
of our sympathies toward those nations that are
now struggling for the same liberties which we had
the happiness to conquer, and our foreign minis-
ters
should be instructed to express them with
dignity and emphasis. We may then present the
spectacle of a nation wielding its power with magna-
nimity, filled, it may be, with the inflexible ambition
of imposing its rule upon all the races of this conti-
nent, but without forfeiting the privilege of bidding
God-speed to the struggling nations of the other hemi-
sphere. It is only in this manner that we can escape
becoming dwarfs in a moral sense, while we grow
to be giants in physical dimensions. It is only in
this manner that we can reconcile the world to our
material progress, only thus that we can go forward
without abdicating our position as a nation that feels
a deep Christian interest in the progress of freedom
and humanity everywhere.

A KANGAROO HUNT IN SO Urn

A USTJULIA.

o-

(From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times.)
Soon after landing in the colony, my friend and
I received an invitation from a squatter, living
three hundred miles from Aclelaid3, • asking as to
spend Christmas with him, in order to witness a
grand kangaroo hunt which was to conic off at that
time. We of course accepted, and in less than a
week we started on our journey, taking with U 3
our rifles and a deer-hound we had brought from
England. After three days' jolting and bumping
in a mail coach --one of those tong-bodied American
machines which nothing short of a precipice can
upset—we were not sorry to find our friend waiting
with his buggy and a pair of ponies to take us
over the remaining nine miles to his station, which
we reached safely about three p.m. on Christmas
Eve.

In this part of the world the 25th of December
Ls usually ushered in by hot winds and a tempera-
ture which entirely destroys our pre-conceived no-

dons of the festival ; but on this occasion we were
in luck, and when dinner came it was quite cool
enough for us to enjoy the roast beef, and even the
brandy-fire on the plum-pudding did not seem op-
pressive. Our festivities, however, were not very
much prolonged, as the grand hunt was to take
place the next day, entailing an early start. Ac-
cordingly we were called before daybreak, and by
the time we were up found that the saddling had
already commenced ; as about sixty men had to
be mounted, saddles soon ran short, and sheep-
skins tied on by a piece of rope were in great
demand for the riding blacks and station men.
My friend and I had bath had some experience with
rough oohs at home ; and, under the delusion that
we were fair riders, had expressed our utter uncon-
cern as to our mounts—indeed; in our secret hearts
we were rather anxious to try an " Australian buck-

jumper. The horse chosen for me was a dark bay,
a fine showy-looking animal, but one that evidently
had the greatest objection to being girthed up,
whilst the very unamiable way in which he laid
back his ears made me determined to be preplared
for the worst. The mounting was quickly accom-
plished, but no sooner was my weight in the saddle
than my steed's back curled up, down went his head
until nothing could be seen in front of the saddle,
then came a frightful sensation not to be described,
and the next moment I found myself uncomfort-
ably seated on a hard piece of ground. The horse
was soon caught, but no one would hear of my
making another attempt ; so I was fain to content
myself by exchanging mounts with a long-legged,
light-whiskered, sunburnt young fellow who had
taken rather a fancy to me on the previous day.
Armed with a huge hide-whip, he was soon on the
bay's back, who this time screwed himself up higher
than ever, until the middle of the saddle only
touched him ; then up he went high enough to take
a four-foot fence, and down again on the same spot,
with this difference, that his tail was now where his
head was before, the same proceeding being re-
peated for upwards of forty " bucks." Thrice as
many, however, would have made but little diffe-
rence to his rider ; at every jump there was a loud
crack, and the long hide-whip left its mark on the
ribs or shoulder, until at length the horse gave in,
and moved off a more tender if not a wiser animal.
We are now all fairly mounted ; our way for a
few miles lying through some mallie scrub, and
then to the plains beyond. Much discussion takes
place as to the best way of managing the hunt, and
at last it is decided that we shall form a crescent-
shaped line, with 150 yards between each man ;
the whole of us are then to move slowly towards the
sea, so as to drive the kangaroos before us on to
a point, with a small neck, which afterwards in-
creases in size until it contains about eighty acres.
0 At last all are placed, the starting signal is given,
and the word passed from man to man down the
line. The blacks on foot, about eighty in number,
are at the south end, and altogether we muster 110
men, so that our line extends nearly ten miles, and
we shall have to ride eight miles across the plains.
After a while the salt bush begins to take the
place of the hideous " mallie scrub," so that the
country is more open and we can see before us.
' On wo go until all the bushes are left behind ; but
so far nothing meets our glance all over the vast
plain, except a straggling eagle or two.
I am beginning. to despair of seeing a kangaroo,

when suddenly at my right hand, scarce fifty
yards away, up jumps a regular " old man."
The dogs are soon after him, and one called Veno
catches him, throwing him nearly over ; he sown
rights himself, but by this time the other dogs are
come up, fastening on anywhere ; doing their best,
however, to keep clear of those ugly fore paws and
still more terrible hind ones. It is not to be though,
for he has Victor (the largest hound) in a grip like
that of a grizzly bear, where he is held until the
kangaroo gradually lifts one of his hind legs, and
then with a long kick down goes the dog torn right
through the middle, howling and snapping, at his
own flesh. " Well done, Veno !" who, nothing
daunted by his companion's fate, has the " old man"
by the hamstring, and rolls him over ; now the dog
has him by the jugular; there comes a prolonged
panting, a gurgling in the throat of the kangaroo,
and all is over. Poor old Victor lies beside his foe.
Oae of the party comes cantering up, looks at the
dog, and seeing that the case is hopeless puts the
poor fellow out of his misery. There is no time
to mourn though, so we leave him to the eagles
and pass on, scarcely so anxious for another kan-
garoo.

Half an hour passes, and we have nearly four
miles to go ; a great shouting gradually approache s
from where the blacks are, and about two hun-

dred kangaroos come bounding along at a great
rate ; they are soon half a mile away, never once
attempting to break the line. The shouting is now
astounding ; every one takes it up. Kangaroos are

racing in every direction ; just to my left comes a

great rush, and straight through the line goes a
't flying doe," one of the fastest sort ; two dogs are
after her and gaining fast, when, just as they are
on the point of catching her, something is suddenly
thrown from her, and away she goes at double speed.

Curiosity tempts me to see what eau havebeeu thrown

down, and there, hidden in the long grass, is a pretty
soft-skinned little kangaroo, wriggling about its im-
mense tail and kicking violently. Poor little fel-
low ! just taken from a warm pouch to be cast

down in such a rough manner. But lie still on that
soft grass, and perhaps when the sun is setting, and
no danger is at hand, your mother will come hop-
ping up, peering among the spinifex and wild oats,
till she hears your little grunting ; then once more
will she lift you up and carry you off to some dis-
tant timber, where you shall grow and grow until

you become a great fellow six feet high and your

tail weighs 241 b.
But all this time we have left the line where we
ought to be, the kangaroos can now be seen on all

sides.

Some 300 have mauaged to break

through our ranks, and the men are closing up
at a trot. Grey figures are jumping about in
every direction over the sand-hills, which look like
waves on the horizon; the whole plain seems to
have gone mad.
Now comes the tug of war ; only about a mile
more to go, and the pace a canter. Whips
are cracking, whites shouting, blacks yell-
ing on every side ; no wonder the kangaroos are

:rightened. A mob of about a thousand come rush

ing up, trying the line at every point, but in vain,
for we are pretty close now—at length one great
fellow breaks through, and is followed by a mul-
titude ; our men close up nearer than ever, but no-
thing can stop the mad rushes with which large
mobs come down every minute. There goes one
of them against a horse, sending him and his
rider clean over, but doing n) further damage ;
when the dust clears away, however, we see
a large grey heap that stirs not, with two fierce
dogs standing over it, showing that at least one
kangaroo has paid the penalty of his boldness with
his life. Some thousands of kangaroos have by this
time breken the line, and we begin to think that all

our labour is in vain ; but our more experienced
friends say that there will still be plenty on the
point, which is now close at hand ; so, hobbling
our horses, we all walk down to the entrance of the
peninsula, and wait till the natives come up. The
beginning of this neck is covered with bushes,
amongst which a few kangaroos are seen, and we
hope there are many more in the timber lower down.
Ten natives are told off to beat the bushes ; our
rifles and pistols are loaded ; the blacks have their
boomerangs and waddies ready. Right soon are
they wanted, for to the south two or three hun-
dred kangaroos appear, but swerve and again e_.l(
their covert. Another lot are driven out, and come
straight for us, headed by an old fellow who seems
their leader. Shots ring out, many fall, but the
others come on without flinching. The old fellow
in front is still sixty yards off ; the blacks are ter-
ribly excited, and flourish their boomerangs in a
fr mtie manner. Three jumps, and the leader is
close on us, when from my right comes a whirring
and whistling ; something rushes past, catching
the old fellow between neck and shoulder, tearing
away muscle and bone, and then he falls over on
his side. About thirty were shot by the time I
had reloaded, but plenty more are seen
amongst the bushes, the frightened mob rushing
on the line occasionally. As, however, by this time
we are pretty cool and used to the work, very
few escape. The " lubras" (native women) join
in the attack just like the men : one very old lady,
with grey hairs and legs about as thick as broom-
sticks, got so excited that she deliberately walked
out to meet a " boomer," with nothing but a small
waddie" in her hand. At first the kangaroo did
not quite know what to make of matters,. but, being
too tired to run, he accepted the challenge, hopped
up to her, and, on her stick missing his head, caught
her with his strong fore paws, and held her without
the slightest trouble, until luckily the other black
came up and stopped him from using his hind
claws. The old lady was fearfully frightened, but
not much hurt, saving a long furrow or two on her
cheeks ; it will be long, however, before she cares
to face another boomer.
Kangaroos are lying dead all around us, and the
dogs show signs of severe struggles; one magnifi-
cent yellow hound has an ugly rent in his neck,
through which the blood keeps spouting every time
he breathes, but a few stitches with needle and silk
soon make him feel more comfortable. Our own
deerhound, who has done wonders, has some sharp
cuts, but none through the skin ; he seems very
tired, and, in fact, all of us are wishing the slaugh-
ter was over, when the blacks in covert again be-
gin to yell, and up come 14 emus, with their foolish
little wings flapping and their huge bunches of
feathery tails shaking as they stride along, remind-
ing us much of the tales of seven-leagued boots—
an emu's stride when fully extended being rather
more than 10ft,
On they come, the boomerangs flying amongst
them, and making their sides rattle ; one was cut
through the neck of an emu, leaving the head
hanging only by the skin—a feat which even our
black friends appreciate. A few shots are fired,
killing all the emus but four, who are soon lost to
sight across the plain.
The black beaters now come up, and say that no
more kangaroos are left ; men are sent to count the
killed, with the number of which the squatters are
very much dissatisfied. Last year they killed 2,000,
but now the number is put down at only 400. This
slaughter seems very cruel, but something must be
done, as kangaroos are increasing in numbers very
fast ; and as two of them eat more grass than three
sheep, a squatter cannot afford to feed 3,000 or
4,000 of them on his land.
The men come back and report 623 killed, count-
ing all, from the pink little things without a hair
on them, up to the great, fierce fellows with arms
like a gorilla. All the horses are brought up, but
only a few dogs appear ; most likely many of them
have chosen shady places to lie under and lick their
wounds. When evening comes they will feel better
and follow us home—so say their owners, who ought
to know their ways ; but we have an idea that many
a one has lain down never to rise again.
My friend and I have once more managed to get
together to talk over the events of the day, both
acknowledging that we have seen a great slaughter
rather than a hunt.
Many of the men are now leaving us for their
stations, perhaps twenty or thirty miles distant ;
we shall soon be at home again. All seemed tired,
but in good spirits, and quite ready for the late
dinner, which we fancied we could smell in the dis-
tance for the last half-hour. And so ends our first
kangaroo hunt.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

VALETTA, Feb. I.—lt has already been reported
that the squadron is to leave port about the sth of

February. We now learn that the Commander-in-
Chief will temporarily shift his flag from the Cale-
donia to the Lord Warden, and proceed in the
latter vessel on a visit to Athens, lie will be ac-
companied by the despatch vessel Psyche, and will
probably visit other ports in the Levant. The Lord
Clyde is to visit Naples, and the Caledonia, Syra-
cuse. The other ships are to proceed as before

stated—the Lord Warden to relieve the Arethusa
at the Piraeus, the Racer to relieve the Cruiser on
the coast of Syria, and the Trinculo to relieve the

Tyrian in Candia. News has been received of the

arrival at Patras, seven days from Malta, of her
Majesty's gunboat Wizard. Her Majesty's ship
Enterprise returned on the 30th of January from a
cruise in the Malta channel, calling at Syracuse.
Accounts continue to be received of very stormy
weather in the Mediterranean, and our port is al-

most full of vessels under average. The English
bark Fame, which left Malta on the 13th of January
for Cork or Falmouth, put back on the 29th, under

command of the mate r. R. Perkin, the master,
Capt. W. Shield, having been washed overboard by

a heavy sea on the 24th of January, when about 30

miles from the island of Sardinia. The Mecklen-

burg brig Michels also put in here a few days ago
in command of the mate, a heavy sea having washed

overboard the master, Capt. Peter Niemaun, when
to the westward of Malta. The Ceylon, from
Southampton, experienced frightful weather in the
Bay of Biscay, and had three of her boats carried
away. One man was rather seriously injured, but

no lives were lost. For the last two or three days
it has been blowing a gale from the northward and
eastward, with a heavy sea running into the har-
bour. On the afternoon of the 30th of January,
while her Majesty's screw frigate Endymion was
taking up her berth, after being under the sheers

for the purpose of shipping machinery, she was
caught by a heavy squall and fouled the Turkish
ironclad Mahmoudiah, carrying away the bowsprit
of the latter vessel. She also fouled her Majesty's
armour-plated ship Lord Warden, damaging some
of the latter's boats and the accommodation ladder.
After these mishaps the Endymion took up her
moorings, without sustaining any damage herself.
She was in charge at the time of Capt. Roberts, the
Queen's harbourmaster. Mr. 11. 11. Shanks, secre-
tary to the Naval Commander-in-Chief, returned
to Malta by the last Marseilles packet. Capt. Far-
quharson arrived by the same vessel. A court-
martial was held on the 28th of January on board
her Majesty's ship Hibernia, to try Mr. Edward
Pinkner, gunner, third class of her Majesty's ship
rrinculo, on two charges, of absenting himself
without leave and sleeping out of the ship, contrary
to orders. The Court was composed as follows :
Capt. W. R. Rolland. of her Majesty's ship Lord
Warden, president ; Capt. R. Dew, C. 8., her Ma-
jesty's ship Lord Clyde; Capt. W. Wake, her Ma-
jesty's ship Endymion ; Commander G. L. Nor-
cock, her Majesty's ship Ilibernia ; and Comman-
der L. Brine, her Majesty's ship Racer. Mr. R.
Munday, officiating, Judge-Advocate. In conse-
quence of the very high testimonials produced by
the prisoner, who pleaded guilty to both charges,

he was only adjudged to forfeit one year's seniority
as a warrant officer, to be severely reprimanded,
and to be dismissed from her Majesty's ship Trill-
culo.

Mr. W. Scamp, C.E., the late deputy-director of
engineering and architectural works to the Admi-
ralty, who has retired with a full-pay superannua-
tion after a lengthened period of service, transacted
his last official business at Somerset-house on Wed-
nesday last.
Messrs. Napier and Sons, of the Clyde, are build-
ing for the Dutch Government a steam ram of
about 3,000 tons and a turret ship of 2,000 tons•
They are intended to be fitted with Skinner's steer-
ing apparatus, similar to that successfully tested by
her Majesty's ships Industry and Supply, by which
one man alone can steer in the most boisterous
weather with ease, and free from danger.
The Royalist, screw sloop, 11 guns, 669 tons,
150-horse power, Commander Loftus Jones, arrived
at Spithead early yesterday morning from the east-
ward, en route to the West Indies.
In consequence of the additional duties devolving
on the division of the metropolitan police doing duty
at Chatham dockyard, it has been decided to make
a considerable augmentation in the strength of the

division.
Yesterday detachments from the Ist battalion of
the 14th Regi►Went, Ist battalion of the 10th Regi"
meat, and the 31st Regiment, to the number of 117
non-commissioned officers and men, left Chathani
garrison and proceeded to Tilbury Fort, for duty at
that station. The detachment from the 2d Depot
Battalion, on duty at Tilbury through the past
winter, rejoined at Chatham garrison yesterday.
The 7th company of Royal Engineers, numbering
5 sergeants, 2 buglers, and 86 sappers, left head-
quarters, Brompton barracks, Chatham, yesterdaYl
and proceeded to Milton for the purpose of under'
going a course of ball practice at the Government
rifle range previously to embarking for colonial
service.

Improvements and alterations in the bakery of
the Commissariat Department at Aldershott noW
being made, consequent on the introduction of stem
for bread-making, necessitated the removal of
chimney shaft 75ft. in height, and which for several
years had been in an unsafe condition. The re-
moval of the shaft was safely effected under the
superintendence of Colonel Laffan, commanding
Royal Engineer, on Tuesday. A few bricks being
taken out, 180 z. of powder in one ounce packet°
were placed in the spaces, and being fired the shaft
toppled over in beautiful style, and in the direction
intended.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Navigating-Lieut. J. R. Aylet''
additional, to the Cumberland, for service in the
Forte; Navigating-Lieut. Francis B. Christian, to
the Cumberland,' for service in the Eclipse ; B.
Ommaney, midshipman, to the Arethusa ; George
Drury and Henry C. DaWson, midshipmen, to the
Charybdis ; George W. Adam, midshipman, to the
Challenger ; Claude Paget and Robert T. Wood,
midshipmen, to the Royal Alfred ; Francis B. 13'
Simpson, midshipman, to the Blanche ; Arthur C.
Clarke, midshipman, to the Royalist ; James Pubs
field, engineer, to the Indus, for service in th
Midge; 'William Fenton, engineer, to the Indus'
for service in the Hart ; Leopold M. Green (A)!
engineer, to the Asia, for service in the Harriet'
George F. Sutton, engineer, to the Fisgard,
