at such an outrage, and so voices would be loader in
Beneemeing it than those of Englishmen. But in the
pement indium it has happened in Chins—on the
ether ids of the world and though Englishmen
twat deny that it is very blameable, yet • great
zany of them seem &reed to tolerate it, in the
hope that a few English merchants may be enabled
to conduct their business in China with greater faci-
lity. The pecuniary gain to some score of firms in
London outweighs the havoc and denotation
wrought in China. The mole-hill near at hand
bides the mountain at a distance.
But the original cause of quarrel is not to be
insisted upon ; a new one has been found. The kraus
grievance will not hold water. The practice el invest-
hg Chinese vessels with a temporary alien character
is toe palpably liable to abuse. Would the English
Government tolerate the assumption by the French
authorities of a right to give Englide loggers
annual licenses, entitling them to the privileges of
French vessels whenever the owners gave he
0 nominal " ocenmand of the vessel to some ranee*

the knits Arrow had expired, and bid ad been
renewed; it is denied by the Mho% vii not
proved by the English, that the British as was
flying at the time of seizure; it is sesestoll ley the
Chinese, and not denied by the English, that two of
the crew were pirates. All these things teaks the
particular case much worse; but even though these
aggravations had been wanting, the practice
of endeavouring to withdraw Chinese subjects

for a time bel the jurisdiction at their entire
courts, by panting them annual lieempre—
gaga and temporary seta of nstsraliestion--would
be utterly imiefessible. Accordingly the English
Plenipotentiary, Admiral, and Cannel agree that it
