wisdom and Of moderation OF the European Govern
nents ana the sacrifices which in one way or another
al the Powers making Iii the interest oil the gene
ri peace his EXcellenCy complimented the city OF
LONDON tor the practical spirit it had manifested Iii dis
celning that which many politicians did not seem to
sufficiently understand, yz thai instead Of those IN
terests hch we formerly contested in every part OF
the world, 1t has come to pass through the develop
mem of our manufactures and commercial Interests,
not only do possess great number OF interests III
common, but longer IN any part OF the world, nave
we any interest that Is hostile. Why, then, these ax
ieies those suspicious those istruss, when on every
incident Of policy generated on both sides OF the
Channel! Ii is because cannot erface in day the
traces of 30 many centuries OF rivalry and strife.
Ii is because III spite OF ourselves, and unwlllmgy
are, both Of us, still too much disposed TO look at
the events Of the present through the magnltylng and
deceptive glasses OF the recOectOns OF the past. But
thank Heaven, the reason the good sense and the III
erest OF the two nations tend every day To dslpate
tlese mirales; for every day mems minds more
clearly anu more positively impressed with the main
confederation that, having everything TO lose and
nothing to gain by contest the two nations can mu-
tualiy derive many benefits from peace as they
could inhiCt injuries on themselves by war. That,

ton we turn eyes, tie general aspect was sasiac
tory and gave instances the state Of industry at

His Lordsip adyerled with particular satisfaction TO
tie cordial cooperation OF the allied commanders and
forces III China
England did not numerically rival the great armies
which Continental Powers kept on foot during peace,
but in bravery and exploits our army would rival any
force. We redress the infeIiorty in number of our
standing army by our admirable militia, by noble
volunteers, which henceoIth constitutes permanent
institution of the country lond cheers and by orfy
ing important and vulnerable points; but above ALL
we must redress the balance by maintaining
as we always must maintain, strong and
powerful navy. Continued eheeringl His
