by the Chem, and not denied by the British, that
she was Chinese built—it is quite ordain that mho
was the property of a Chem owner, and manned
by a crew of twelve Chime sailors. The British
authorities Mien that this vend, beers Min

Let me take it that at the commersent of October

the whole new to be hese& up beers him
for szaminatim. The British Consul mays that when
the seism was me& is Hag was lying on board
the Arrow. The Chimes Governor dries this in the
mast =plink and positive term In his latter of
the 31st of October, be mama "It was net known
at the time when my Insentive went to min" persons
an Mid of her, that the kris was a foreign reeel."
"when the loreba was boarded it was oriefeetanly

brown be rehire at ems to give up his captives,
en the men ilssdisa el the British Coned that
the simpoesd Chinese mesel is really British—he is
required to undergo the pablio humiliation of not
only restoring thew outlaws to liberty, bat of asee-
ally receedneting they an board the magi from
which they bad bean taken, making • humble apo-
logy for hie proceedings, and giving a promise that
nothing of the sort amid occur again. Reverse the
parties in this case. Suppose Tan, instead of being
" Imperisl Carradreimer sad Governor-o=Ml of
the Two Emusgs," were Chinese Consul at Liver-
pool, and bad addromed such a demand on some
similar occuien to his Worship the Mayor of
that fames maritime emporium. The very notion,
we shall be told, is too absurd to be entertained
he a moment. There is no analogy between the
eases. These people are barbarians, and must be
treated u such. Barbarians, yes—if every civilisation
that is of a different pattern to our own is to be called
. .

barbarism—then indeed the Chinese are barbarous;
not otherwise. They are a people of high refine-
ment and ancient cultivation, eminently instructed
and singularly governed in all their relations by
their own view, of what is just and fitting. They
have no feudalism, no Laded aristocracy; but they
were an Empire when the ancestors of the Ph -
narruzzaa were a horde. They are barbarous
enough to reflect back honour from the distinguished
living to the obscure dead, instead of deriving
it down from the distinguished dead to the ob-
scure living. They are barbarous enough to know
no passport to high office but proved merit ; they set
adds the claims of family in favour of talent
with a singleness of mind, which to an
administrative reformer mast seem the highest
stretch of political virtue; and discover an appetite
for universal competitive examination which goes fsr
beyond the zeal of Sir CHARLES TRETELYAN and Sir
STAFFORD NORTRCOTE. Such are the people wham,
in the opinion of those who on this occasion have
unfortunately acted as the representatives of Eng-
I land, it is just to despies and politic to bully.

Highness ihe

Of this insulting communication of the 12th the
Governor of the Two Iwanga took no notice. On
the 21st a final letter is sent, threatening peremptory
proceedings if the Governor does not yield. At noon
the next day the twelve seamen are sent to
the Consulate with a message from the
Governor that two of them are criminals,
and must be sent back immediately. This
does not satisfy Mr. Consul Rims, who hereupon
hands the Governor over to the " secular sem " of Sir
)!serif. Sermons, the Admiral. From this stage
the matter assumes a new complexion. A fresh
muss ball is added to the old one. Canton is to be
battered down net only because the Governor won't
own himself to be in the wrong when he
believes himself to be in the right, but
became he won't hold personal communica-
tion with the British AdmiraL The Admiral re-
gards an interview. Yea, acting is conformity widi
the uniform practice of all former governors, declines
it. Sir MICHAEL thereupon proceeds to take porte-
d= of a few of the river forte, makes a breech
in the city walls, and blows up the Tsing Hai Gate.
The *anti with which the Admiral announces this
to Yew cannot be exceeded : " Your Eleellsney sent
no reply to my message, and, according to the inten-
tion of which I had given notice to year deputy,
I breeched the wail of the city, mod thin

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Debate, says :
—",The accounts which have been given of the con-
centration of a considerable military force near
Bakou, on the Caspian, is confirmed. These troops
are composed of picked regiments from the Cauea-
sas other hoops concentrated in the Caucasus
are very numerous ; the five corps of which they are
composed can act in concert at any given moment.
In addition to the corps of Bakon, which belongs to
the army of the Caucasus, and which, in case of
need, could proceed to Persil', there is Another
corps, that of Orenbourg, which, if required, could
take part in an expedition. It would be destined to
invade the territory of the Afghans, and prevent
them fighting against Persia in concert with Eng-
land. The troops would proceed from Orenbourg
by the road followed by the expedition of Perowaki
on %him. Permanent pickets of Contacts have
been established on this road, as well as wells and
other establishments of great importance to an army
when marching across such wastes."
