Two New AMBABSADON. FILOX CHINA.—The
State Department at Washington has received the follow-
ing letter from Mr. Burlingame:—" Shaaghae, Dec. 11,
1857.--Sir,—You will have learned from my telegram
from Pekin of my appointment by the Chime government
as envoy to the Treaty Powers, and of my seeeptanee of
the same. The facts in relation to the appointment are
as follows :—I was on the Percipy, proceeding to the
batty ports of China to ascertain what changes our eiti-
sens desired to have made in the treaties, provided a
revision should be determined upon, after which it was
my intention to resign and go home. The knowledge of
this coming to the Chinese, Prince Konggive • farewell
dinner, at which gnat regret was expressed at my resolu-
tion to leave China, and urgent requests made that I
would, like Sir Frederick Bruce, state China's difficul-
ties, and inform the Treaty Nome of their sincere
desire to be friendly and progressive. This I cheerfully
promised to do. During the conversation Wensiung, •
leading man of the empire, said—' Why will you not re-
pretest us officially ?' I repulsed the suggestion play
fully, end the coavereation passed to other topics. Sub-
sequently I wee informed that the Chinese were most de-
sirous, sad • request was made through Mr. Bzria
Chinese lisoretary of the British Legation, that I
delay my departure for a few days, until a proposition
mild be submitted to me. I had no further conversation
with them until the proposition was made in form, re-
questing me to sat for them as runbassedee to all the
Treaty Powers. I had in the interim thought anxiously
upon the subject, and after consultation with my friends,
determined, in the leterests of our country and civilisa-
tion, to aemept. The moment the position was form-
alty tendered, I informed my colleagues of all H
of
the and am happy to say that they • red of
the action of the Chinese. and did all they could to forward
the interests of the mission. J. briefer, Brown, late
Chinese Secretary of the British Legation, wee persuaded
in the common interest to act as first secretory to the
mission, end Mr. Dechamps, a French gentleman, who had
accompanied Ping on a Trait to Europe, was selected ea
w
secretary. Two Chinese gentlemen of the
ranic were selected from the Foreign-office to mad=
Chinese correspondence and as couriers. My suite will
number about thirty persons. I shall leave for the United
States by the return steamer fee Celifornla. I limit myself
in this note to the above briaf history al
the mission, reserving my resent for soosgttog
it to a personal laterview at Washiogins.
