It seems to us that the British Govern. ment is largely to biamo for the present un- satisfactory state of affairs. Her Majesty's ministers have committed the grave mistaka of endeavouring to adapt their policy to the positions created by the belligerente. I was a blunder to enforce a section of the Foreign Relistment Act and not the other provisions of that Jaw. A result of that stop is that the French are furnished with rea- sonable excuses for searching neutral vesels- on the high seas, although the French forces are avowedly only engaged in making*repri- ala against China. We put into force hore a selected clause of British law the operation of which would obviously cause inconveni ence to the French and not the Obinose, and it is not marprising that, because we have gone out of our way to limit the use of this harbour by French vessels, Admiral Courbet should be instructed to take steps
to prevent neutrals from doing a roaring trade in munitions of war with the Chinese. The British Govemment ought, in the Grst instance, to have insisted on treating.
