The notes remarks that the conduct of the Het-
government during the Cretan insurrection is the
immediate cause of the present action of the Porte, and
that the actual state of things in the east has worked dis-
astrously by encouraging intrigue and conspiracy. Never-
theless, of the Forte assumes an aggremive attitude
against its adversary, the Creeks may rush to the protect-
ing powers with a loud cry that the sacred independence
which was guaranteed to their fathers by dvilized Europe
is threatened by Numb= ambition. It is for the
powers, and particularly for England and Prance, to con-
sider whether the acceptance of a protectorate does not
impose the corresponding obligation of controlling the
protected. Undoubtedly, it is • thing not to be thought
of that Greece should be overrun by Turkish troops, but,
on the other hand, we are bound to demand, and our
position gives us the right to demand, that the machina-
tions of the last two years shall come to an end.

Referring to the announcement that her Majesty's Con-
sul in China was about to proceed to Nankin with three
slips of war to demand atonement for certain outrages
committed oa the Mime= station at Yangekow, the Ibst
observes that the necessity for thus resorting to a dis-
play of overawing power indicates at once the unsatis-
factory nature of our political relations wit► Chins,
and the fact that the Mesons of past years have been
equally thrown away upon onmeivesaad upon the Chinese.
The British government may have been too eillignat in
making the treaty of Tientsin, but it would be worse than
folly in dealing with such a people to abate our pretensions
now. At the seine time it should have been our policy,
and should be now, to avoid creating situations of possible
difieulty or danger, and to restrain missionary noel within
the bounds of discretion.

conscience of ovary citizen of the United Stales who loves
his country—will still commend itself to the earnest at-
tention of those in Europe who take an Won* la the
present and future welfare of this great people.
