Synopsis
Excerpt from The Policy of England Towards Spain: Considered Chiefly With Reference to a Review of the Social and Political State of the Basque Provinces, and a Few Remarks on Recent Events in Spain, &C, by an English Nobleman
A few inghts in every Session are devoted to Foreign. Affairs. Motions are made, with reference rather to party purposes than to the intrinsic ob jects of the questions - they are feebly debated and coldly listened to; and unless some flagrant case should arise upon which a Government may be overthrown, the House and the public appear alike indifferent to, the manner in which the Foreign Secretary may have parried'the attack, or repelled his opponents - the debate is only looked upon as an interruption to domestic affairs - it is got over and forgotten. Neither within nor without the walls of Parliament, is information upon foreign affairs much sought after - but there is no indispo sition to receive it at the hands of him who may be at the pains of giving it. With respect to foreign affairs more than any others, there is a difficulty in arriving at facts, and to avoid the trouble of thinking, a readiness to adopt the opi nions of others, more particularly when presented 'in a complete and decided form.
