IF the Admiralty orders semi 10 Portsm,

If the Admiralty orders sent to Portsmouth
after the recent Cabinet meeting are not
charged with weighty measure, or in
splred with strenuous purpose, they were
singularly indiscreet and inopportune.
They are certain to be interpreted abroad
as preparing in measure for some very inn
portant event. 1t is well to sustain farce
if necessary; but it is doubtful, in spite of
the apparent activity, that a new chapter is
to be opened in the foreign policy of the
nation. The recent council has reproached
the Cabinet for its undecided and evaSive
foreign policy. The article concludes by
expressing an opinion that the Ministry
had better resign if dissension has place
in the Cabinet, and the Ministers are only
capable of drifting after the manner of
those who involved England in the
Crimean War.
