We had supposed that the folly of the domestic
policy of the present Government was so great that
their foreign policy could not be worse, but we
under-rated their aptness for error. The Speech of
the King of the French at the opening of the
Chamber proves that the foreign policy of Great
Britain is more conspicuously foolish and pernicious
than even the direction of affairs at bonne. The
French flag, we are informed, waves triumphant
in the capital of Portugal, and the fortresses on the
line of frontier between Belgium and France are to
be demolished ! In these two circumstances we
behold the complete overthrow of the two most im-
portant points in the Continental policy of Eng-
land.—Post.

CURIOUS DOCUMENT.—Ministers have at this
moment in their possession a list of 1500 persons, in
or near London, whose private fortunes would pay off
the national debt. Of course the list is only interest-
ing, or of value as indicating the mass of wealth in
the country, as one could not have imagined at first
sight that the private fortunes of any 1500 indivi-
duals in the empire could be to such an extent.
As a piece of statistics the document is curious.
