gratuitous impertinence. The chief subject of the
despatch refers to the plunder of the summer palace of
the Chinese Emperor, by the French ,soldicry,.Ala is ,an -
attempt at a reply to the statements on that sUbjett
published by the English lokietials lit China. The
general states in substance that the English army under
Gen'eral Grant "lost its way "—of course implicating
that the French were on the right track, as, indeed, they
were in one sense of the word ; that his division arrived
alone in the evening, in front of the palace; that they
forced an entrance, with the loss of Om offibets killed, and
some soldiers 'Wounded; that he ordered the 'Wane to be
occapied', and thathe " went there-hitnielf early the
nett morning." Ite say's, further, that he appinted,

powered to make a division of the most precious objects.
He does not say anything, however, of what occurred
between seven o'clock at night—when the palace was
occupied by the French alone, and " early nett motning,"
when he himself visited it;, Perhaps it was iißt eon-,

priVate plunder took place in that interval, the people of
England cannot be expected to, nor will they, regard
these explanations as by any means exhaustive or satis-
factory.
