The policy of the Government has been

will continue to be so. When foreign coun-
tries have successfully established constitu-

moral support of England; they will receive
in future the same sympathy and the same
moral support
But if other nations choose to live under a
different form of goyernment-placing more
power in the Executive, or giving greater con-
troll over the Executve-this country will

press upon The subject Of Kossuths reception,
