Tut iaeffable fray and bad faith of the Court of Pekin in stealthily attacking the escort of a minister whom it bad agreed by treaty to receive, is greatly to be regretted. It will unsettle commerce. it has already cost many precious lives, and it will brio; heavy ealansities on the subjects of the Empire. Bet it is an event which ought to •sett• 1.,. sorption than regret. It di•elo•ea the weak point is oar hat• negotiation•, and, moth wane, it hu given uteri= toe a display which we fear is little creditable to oar naval reputation. Bat then an tot irrepanbls misfortunes. After • the &gesture of the treaty of Ties-tin we were AU wilhag to hope that the Maw 2111'610R hiad Seamed at lem how vats It woe to attempt to maintain that exelaadvemee towards foreigners which was the ancient policy of the Empire; but the chances that the old spirit would revile and old illusions regain their power over the Imperial mind, . . . . could sot bat present themselves to all who had, however slightly, studied the recent history of our /*latices with China. The stipulation that her MAJESTY'S representativ should be at liberty to visit Pekin, sad, if he chase to do so, permanently reside there, was a primary object with the Government from which Lewd &out . . received hie credential'. If we were esessedal Is demanding scores for commercial purpose to the toiler waters of China and the great internal manta of her producer, it was smentlal that we shoeht maintain some direct intercourse of a per manent kind with the Gomm of Pekin. Ex- prime., moreover, had shown that in uniformly referring us to an officer in a distant province for satisfaction, as often as we had grievances de manding redress, that Court was systematically evading a fair responsibility for its dealing with foreign states. The papers found in the pos session of Commisloner Yea showed conclusively that the Chinese Government, although often misled through the servility and fears of its officers, wee acting with systematic cunning and duplicity. In all official correspondence the foreigner was treated es an inferior in civilisation, crafty, violent, das gerotic It was necessary, if peaceful interaeaes was not to be abandoned, to bring the Govorasent face to taco with a power which never deceives and will not be insulted. The difficulty of overviming the inveterate prc palms of the Chinese Government was ambled by our diplomatists and consuls. British Consuls and Imperial Commissioners agreed that the residence of a foreign minister at Pekin was the lest thing which the ExPEROR would grant. Ages of Con had engendered unbounded arrogant* and childish fear, both the natural fruit of ignorance. When the Commissioners met Lard ELGIN, they struggled men violently spinet this stipulation than against sll the others; bat at length the treaty was signed with the an-important article. Her MAJESTY squired the right to applint an Ambassador or Minister to the Court of Pekin, who should reside permanently with his rosily and establishment at the capital, or visit it occasionally st the option of his Government. This treaty was signed in June, bat In October, only four maths after, the Chinese Commissioners who nego tiated it wrote to Lord ELGIN complaining that they had signed it under military pressure—that they were commanded by their Government to obtain fts revision—that in consideration of the friendship sad peace now happily restored between the two come tries, England ought to spare China u much ss pot eibla—that the right of residence, which had not been conceded to Fromm or Ametica, but i to England alone, wee most inconvenient to China ; whereupon our Plenipotentiary was prayed not to pram this treaty-right, but to coo sent that the permanent diplomatic agent of England should reside in one of the provinces, to which also .Chinese Secretary of State should be soot and be placed in relations with him. Lord ELOIII resisted those demands, bat with the approbation of Lad SIALML , BURY, cemented that the British Minister should merely visit the capital from time to time, filing his permanent residence in some other pert of the Empire, still, however, retaining all the rights conceded in the treaty. In his correepoodeam with the Foreiga-office, lewd Ewan observes that in the opinion of the Chineee the permanent rod deem of a British Minister at Pekin would shake the Empire. He also reports the reconstruction of the forts which we had knocked down at the moods of the Pram, and ram to a repreentatiss made to him os the see of tho gigaton of the treaty, that the Chime, Commimiorsere world certainly for their heads if they aimed it. His lordship does not appear to have had any doubt that tho feats were reheat to protect the capital from an attack. sad befire kering Chian, arranged that a strays escort should attend Mr. Saute on his visit to the eank. It i. now made plain that the Imperial Govern. meet never istesibrd to observe the Treaty. We need me inquire by what tortuous proms the Chinese mind, which, ignoeieg relations with higher power% affects to redoes all religion to the practise of a maid morality between man and to. ow jostily this bed faith to itself. It wag be taught that elites which Europeans will inexorably domed is their deallep with the people of the East. ape west nothing of the Chinese for ourselves that we do not desire to share with other nations, our rival,. The internam we seek, inconvenient es it may be to the Mandarins, who flourish by deluding the EMPF.IOI, can say be beeehrial to the industrious risiilions over whom he roles. The competition of the Western nations ea lances the value of their produce; and the duties we pay swell the Imperial reveases. The resistance I now mad* to the advisee of our seleadrou shows how right we were in insisting upon dealing directly with the ripe's* &oversewn', and bow wrong we ware not to wry oat the principle more effeetsally last year. When Lord &Ails went to the ninth Items struck by the signs of tbe poverty he saw amend him and come to the conclusion that it would be idle to attempt to extort money from the Imperial Government there. " The power of palsies endurance is not wanting to the Chinese dissector, and it was " to he Bared that the EMP6IIIOI might make ap hie " mind to brave the worst at our hands rather " than comsat to render himself a taxgatherer for " fereigners." So the EMPLIOR woe spared, and the peeeniary indemnity stipulated by treaty was mode a charge on the distant provisos of Canton exclusively. It is jut passible that had theism misses of this exaction best brought newer hens to his MAJCIPTY, he might ham brined a man practical estimate of his sittiatioa. We have sow to take up the unfinished work and carry it on to its completion, and exact full satisfac tion Per this latest outrage. There is no reason why we should magnify the operations that will be mese sary for that perpcee. We oaght not to mamas) them by this last encounter, in which it is impossible to believe that our cause enjoyed all the advantages which skill sod science should always pewee over barbarism. In competent hands a mewed ewes of &id& seamen, marina, and infantry will eased their natural superiority over any miry Asiatic rabble that may be brought against them. A loosely worded phrase in a telegram from Alexandria yes terday lent countenance to the report that new Indian troubles were rising, sinialtansenely with this war in the remote Beat. By ciossestiag presence of 8,000 rebels in Nepali' with some myste rious admonition said to have been given to the Ennipean troops by Lord Clyde, it was easy to fore cast the probability of another militia. But we have long known oft the presence of these rebels in Nepaul, and we now learn that they ham been twice bootee by Sikhs in our pay. The wsraing given by Lord Clyde was an old soldier's advice to the mei, not to make fools of themselves, and for six months' holiday throw away claims grounded on years of service by demanding their discharge. The disaffection of two Iladras regi- I meats is disagreeable news, but in itself is not I of setliaient importance to warrant auseasiness. We mast beware of lending ourselves too easily to the fascination of these Oriental dramas. Ebt gnu. BALMORAL, Sir?. 11.

THE CHINESE WAR AND THE FRENCH The Dolmas says China is probably going to dispute with Italy the privilege of occupying the attention of Europe. The arms of France and Eng land have experienced the first and, let us hope, their Wt check in this quarter. This result will inflate the pride of the Chinese, and render a terrible lemon to them necessary. But probably never had the Chinese a greater chance of escaping just reprisals. The attintion of Prance and England is now directed to more serious matters than a dispute with China. The two powers will probably hesitate before they commence a distant war, which, this time, mast now lead to the occupation of Pekin, if we are to arrive at a more serious result than empty treaties, the barrenness of which the treachery of the Chinese has made manifest. We believe, however, that Preece and England will find it difficult to submit to this check, which, if not promptly avenged, would render the position of Europeans in China intolerable." La Press. says that " the melancholy incident which has taken place, though it may retard fur a moment the final conclusion of peace, will accelerate rather than postpone the opening of the whole of China to the Western Power'', as there can be no doubt that Prance and England will demand and obtain further concessions." The &eels is silent on the subject. AUSTRIA.

ITALY. PIEDMONT. The Turin papers seem by no means surprised at the declaration of the ifeleiterr. They state that it was anticipated by the Sardinian government, and that the latter has received from the French govern ment a note most favourable to Italy. They add that the French Emperor made a very easouraging reply to the Modenese depata , ion, and that the note in the Noesitestr after all contains the important official announcement, that the deposed princes will not be restored by foreign troops.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. i maser ova own ooarmsegenpere.) PARIS, Komar Evionno.P Englishmen who wish to kern ha/ England is dealt with by her friends and well-wham in Franco should read an article in this day's Siecis as the Anglo-French alliance. They will there find of course a French view of the question ; still on the whole, an eiposition conceived in a manly and honest spirit. The argument chiefly insisted upon is that in order to perpetuate the alliance, England . . must consent to abandon her notions of pre: ponderance in the ()outsells of Europe, and to walk pari passes with France. If the friends of England have imbibed this prejudice— for so it is—against her, what must be the spirit which animates her foes? England's crying sin is traced to the feet of her ha‘'ng been the only nation which entered the megrims of Vienna with the Jur/ode de virgisite round her head—in other words, which had not been more or less humiliated by Napoleon. But since that time, according to the &id., events have happened which have brought England down to the common level. The Indian insurrection has shown do what " a fragile and ruinous basis reposes her external powir." Thu Crimean war re;valed " the vices of her military, and consequently of her social organisation." The development of the French industrial system shows her ability to contend with us in the matket3 of the world. (What says Michel Chevalier as to this P) All these things, it is declared, should suffice to " prove to the English government that it must so nounce its claim to the European protectorate." The strong exptemion of the national will against em broiling the country in a war which was believed to have been undertaken for selfish and dynastic pnr- preen is represented as " a puerile jealousy which left to Franco alone the Italian war, which war a single energetic word spoken to Austria would have prevented, and of which history will attribute the responsibility to England." The writer new comes upon a crotchet peculiar to this journal. He proposes that England should unite with Francs for the attainment of a great and mag nificent end, "the reorganisation of European society," which society "reposes on a detestable basis, that, namely, of the treaties of 1816, at ones destroyed and existing, torn in twenty plum, and yet still entire!" We are then shown a delightful kingdom of Utopia, consisting of the whole of the civilised world, with its common network of rail ways, its common weights and measures!, and coins, and, above all, its common bank notes. The grand • ' difficulty to the perfect national accord which is to bring about all these floe things is declared to be the selfishness of English statesmen, sad the pride of England's aris tocracy. I will here mention that one of the Axed ideas among not only Frenchmen tainted with communism, but Frenohmen of generally enlarged views, is that England is on the verge of a social dislocation. It is utterly impossible to make them understand the possibility of there being a medium of sober fact between the declamatory flights of Lord Lyndhurst on the one hand and John Bright on the other. 1 will add that I have hoard the same belief maintained by Frenchmen who have passed some years in England, but then they were tethered to Mr. Wyld's Globe, in Leicester-equsre! Neither good nor evil come to as unqualified. This Chinese affair, since it was to happen, could not possibly have happened at a better moment. Here is a great and worthy object foe a combination of the powers moral and physical of the two countries. Here is the means of at once restoring the Anglo- French alliance to its former footing. Of course a terrible retribution must be inflicted upon these miscreants, and of course the interests of commerce will be but the more advanosdby the dictatorial tone which France and England will now be enabled to assume. My view of the Italian situation appears to be confirmed by the fact that the Italian and the Get man organs express equal satisfaction at the article in the Moniteur. In short, neither party sees any- ' thug in it to dash these hopes. It is oracularly in explicit. It leaves all things u they were before. A must important event is announced. The Modena deputation which went to St. Bauveur, in order to express the confidence of the country in the Emperor Napoleon, has returned to Paris. The answer given by the Emperor cannot by any inge nuity be twisted into an intimation that he will support the restoration. " I shall make it," be said, " my happiness and my glory to reconstitute Italian nat ionali ty ." A fall occurred at the Bourse not from any fear of further Italian complications—for, in that matter, "wait and we *hall see ' appears to be the general impression—but in consequence of the Chinese affair. The fall, howevi.r, was less in Bente. than in Mobilier and Austrian railways. Reales left off at 68fr. 36c. both for cash and account, being a fall of 16c. and 20c. respectively. Mobilier was 7801 r. for cash and account, a fall of 26fr. 21c. and 26fr. respectively. According to the Indipendente of Turin, " the ' article in the Mositeur contained nothing new or unexpected" for the Piedmoatese government, and, moreover, it states that " the cabinet of Turin has received from the imperial government a note couched in terms which leave no doubt that the intentions of the Emperor are still favourable to Italy." SPAIN. Letters from Madrid, dated the 7th inst., mention that the chiefs of the republican conspiracy disco ♦end at Seville have been executed, and a great number of persons compromised iu the affair set at liberty. The Spanish budget for 18G1 is to be accompanied with a reform of the tariff. BELGIUM. A serious affray occurred some day* since between the German and Belgian pitmen working at the mines of Rochent, near Verviers, in Belgium. The cause of the riot is not explained, bat the Germans seem to have been the aggressors. One of the oppo site party, a function, received a fracture of the skull, which it is feared will prove mortal; another bud his shoulder dislocated; and a third his jaw broken. Six of the German party were arrested, and four others are supposed to bare crossed the frontier into Pretesia. The Belgian journals publish the programme of the fête* which are to take place at Brussels on the 23rd inst. and three following days in oommemora troll of the 29th anniversary of the independence of Belgium. The Independonee Beige gives an interesting ac count of the grand review held at the Camp of Beverleo in the uresenoe of the Duke and Duchess de Brabant. A committee composed of many of the principal merchants and manufacturers of Belgium have or ganised a subscription for a public testimonial to M. Charles Rogier, as the minister who, in 1834, pre sented to the Chambers the bill for the construction of the first Belgian railway. VENETIA. A Venice journal states that the Lloyd's steamer, the Roma. which had been sunk to bar the in the Lagoons, has been raised, and that past e ae r days the two others would be also again afloat. FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. The following hypothetical verulon of the recent negotiations between Frame and Austria is given by the Independence Beige as one of the many "suppositions" afloat: The Ardeinkes to give up to the chief of their family end of the House of Hapsburg their reigeotive rights in Tuscany sad Modena; the Emperor Francis Joseph to hand theen over to Prince Napleon Imam, who, unitireg them with Parma and the Legation', would become King of Etruria. In the Legations the Prince to govern as • tributary to the Pope. The Emperor of the French to require of Victor Rosanne! the exertion of his influence in Central Italy in favour of his eon-tn-law. It fa added that the Duke of Modena, being rich and &Helios, and his reversion belonging to Austria, would seed no compensation. Ot the Dachau of Parma there is no mention. Ferdinand IV. of Tuscany would take the Danubian Principalities, Prince Ceara making room for him. ITALY AND THE FRENCH PRESS. The following address was presented to M. Edmond Texier, special correspondent of the &eels, during his stay at Bologna: 81r,—When the fate et Italy appeared to depend on the force of arms, your great nation generously lent u• the powerful aid of its v►luable sword : it fought and won with us and for us the battles of Italian independence. Never, be I sneered, sir, shall we forget, whatever one enemies may say. the great sworifloce which Prance has made, and the noble blood she hes shed fur our holy muse. Unfortunately, that blood ►nd thous sacrifices have not sufficed to complete the work of our deliverance, and now the work can be accomplished only by that morel force which springs from the eternal principles of right and justice. The time is happily past when those sacred principles were trampled under foot, and peoples were diaputed of like herds of cattle. Between sovereigns and their subjects, beside the so-called power of right divine, a new power has arisen—public opinion, to which, as your great Emperor has proclaimed, judgment in the last resort henceforth belongs. It is to this opinion, sir, that our country is about to appeal at this moment by the legal and solemn voice of its legitimate lepreerstatives, and whoever contributes to enlighten it upon oar real wants, and our firm determination, renders a algae , eenketo the Italian reuse.

AUSTRIA. Prince Richard Nletternich has arrived at Vienna to receive the compliments of his Sovereign on the saimees of his mission to Bt. Saucier, where he is said to have been treated with every mark of f►vour and distinction. The same may be said, however, of the reception accorded to the Italian deputations. The conciliatory measures which Austria professes to have been disposed to grant to Venetia in considera tion of the return of the Archdukes are reported to be: a national and separ►te government and admi nistration under the Archduke Maximilian ; a Senate composed of life-members; a Chamber of Deputies elected every five years; en Italian army, except at Verona, which, as " one of the keys of Germany," must be garrisoned by Austrian,. RUSSIA. The jeurteal de St. Petersbourg publishes the fol lowing article : Since a greater latitude has been granted in Russia to the expression of opinion, the RID Dian press hes taken its place in Europe as a new element in the domain of general publicity. The Russian journals are read, quoted, end commented upon abroad ; men seek in them tur • manifestation of a public opinion which hi' lotto had few ocessloos of producing Itself. There Is, however, a certain hesitation risible in the organs of the foreign press ea regards the real signification' of that voles which they had not been accustomed to hear.

THE PENINSULAR MALLS. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT. The Tagus steamer, Captain Cook, has arrived. She brings mails from Ltabou on the 7th, Oporto eth, and Vigo, 9th, 19 saloon passengers, 6,5251. In specie, and a general cargo. She spoke Avon, Elton, and Pere steamers, outward bound. Her Majesty's steamer Dover was at Lisbon.

There is little alteration in exchanges at Lisbon since the last packet. Exchange on London closed at NI; l'arie, 542; Hamburg, 461; Amsterdam, Stocks were dull. Mr. Alfred Tennyson, the poet laureate, returned from Liam; it. this packet. The King and royal family remained at Mafra. The weather was very hot at Lisbon, and the wine crop almost a total Iths. A letter from Paris says The grand anneal fair of St. Cloud swam•nod yesterday (Sundry) and will lest three weeks. The weather was magnineest, the crowds of visitors wars iturneass, the tryotha were supplied with ex traordinary narrate*, the *hew gentlemen and ladle,. wars deemed in their gayest attire, and the great w►tees played to the highest pitch ; but the Emperor vas absent from the palace, and the authorities wore not at they poet.

(7110111 00Z OWN CD3IOI'ONDEIT.I MOUNT LEBANON, NEAR BEYROUT, ACOVIIT 24. I fear greatly that Mount Lebanon is threatened with all the hereon of • civil war. The old feuds between the Drum and Christian tribes have broken out again after ►ying dormant since 1845, and within the last week some horrible deeds of revenge and of retaliation have been committed on both aides. As is generally the case amongst Orientals, the primary ostensible cause of quarrel was a mere absurdity. ft took place at the village—well known to all English. men who have sent the hot weather on the moun tain—of Beitmane, about two hours distant from Beyrout, and the first disputants were two muleteers, one a Christian and the other a Druse. Between these blows were given and returned, until the vil lagers commenced to take sides with their respective co-religionists. Before any blood h►d been shed, the bishop on the one side and • Drums sheik on the other managed to make peace between the parties, and it was so arranged that the Christian muleteer was to ask pardon of the Drums, the former being the greater offender of the two. But when on their way to the place where they were to be re conciled, a Christian emir, or prince of the village, met the party, and on learning that his co•religionist was about to declare himself in the wrong, he stopped the whole proceedings, declaring that no Christian should ever with his consent demean him self before one of their hated adversaries. Upon this the Drams at once flew to their arms, the Christians doing the same, and firing commenced on both sides. For the first time is the motels of Lebanon warfare, the latter got completely the better of the fight—that is to say, they gained the advan tage, in the savage manner which these mountaineers count an advantage, for they being three times as many u their enemies, shot down twice as man/ of the Proses as the latter did of the Christians. The fighting lasted all day on Sunday, the 14th instant, and on Monday was extended to the neighbouring villages, many of which were burnt down by Druses or Christians, according to the enmity borne by one or other of the parties. Thus the moment the Drams heard of the Christians being vic torious, they burnt down the first Christian village they came acmes ; whilst the Christians, in order to square the account, did the same towards the Dross'. There were, as usual, several European families from Beyrout spending the summer in the village of Beitmarie, brit not a hair of their heads nor a single item of their property was touched by either one or the other of the belligerents. There was only one English family in the place, two ladies, who happen to be travelling in Syria, but these ladies got down quite safely to Bey rout, as, indeed, did all the other European residents of the place. The following day the Pacha of Beyrout, accompanied by several of the civil and military authorities of the place, proceeded to a place called Hearin, on the Damascus road, which forms • sort of boundary between the Christian and Dense districts in that portion of Lebanon, and there they still remain, accompanied by three or four hundred regular and irregular troop.. In Beyroat everything is as quiet, and both property and life are as secure, as in London, nor has there been any mafiosi fighting since the 16th instant in the mountain, although here and there, when ever a Drees can get a sly shot at a Chris. flan, or one of the latter at a Dense, neither fails to improve the opportunity. In three portions of Lebanon which are inhabited almost solely by Drum, there have been no disturbances whatever, so much so that at the villages of 86k-el-Ourb, !Merano, and Abeigh, between which there are seven or eight English and three or four. American families spending the summer, all the European re sidents have remained without moving, for not a shot has been fired in these districts. The most un settled parts of the mountain are in and about the Ileum, which is inhabited by both Christians and Drone, in proportion of about three of the former to two of the latter. There an be no doubt, however, but that a vast deal of ill-feeling has been engen dered between the two races by recent events, and this is the more to be feared as the policy of the Turkish government has for the last three yean been ' to foment discord between the different races of Lebanon, so that local government may become im possible, and the European powers may agree to the supreme authority on the mountain being placed in the hands of a Turkibb EXTRAORDINARY SCENES IN AN JULIAN CITY.
