I tell you the _trick_, that you should be able to guard against it; it is of importance, and I have no doubt will be resorted to by various political people....

Ever, my dearest Victoria, your faithfully devoted Uncle and Friend, LEOPOLD R.
[Pageheading: ENGLAND AND FRANCE] [Pageheading: LOUIS PHILIPPE'S POLICY] [Pageheading: COUNT MOLE] _The King of the Belgians to Queen Victoria._ TRIANON, _19th October 1837._ MY DEAREST VICTORIA,--...

There is a great disposition here to be on the best possible terms with England.

As it has but too often happened that the diplomatic agents of the two countries have drawn, or been believed to draw, different ways, I recommended strongly to Count Mole[71] to give strong and clear instructions to his people, particularly at Madrid, Lisbon, and Athens....

He is going to read them to Lord Granville, and also to communicate as much as possible all the despatches of the French diplomats to the English Government.
This will be a proof of confidence, and it will besides have the advantage of giving often useful information, enabling thereby the English Government to hear two opinions instead of one.
