IiONDON. TUESDAY. Sill: 13.

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

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

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.
