LONDON,

T, JANUARY 7.

Tzo permed at the Ceara despatehes, asinsing
se it dose, in every pert, the kirks of the dew we
BM mardied to tabs of the presesdip of the BA-
N& authorities an the lees empire intimation then
within ear rear, has nod as with a very painful
feeling of humiliation. With the whole beta now be-
fog. iis, we have no hesitation in alinaing that in tie
ember ot these pressedinp, from beginning to mod,
it is the British, and not the Chinese, who have
acted se barbarians. The cue, r we have
throughout said, resolves itself into two dr
tiact qmptione—the national character of a,. !wets
Arrow—end the right at Sir Mims= Samosa
to mime the additions] deed, tray unconnected
as it was with the Merl ems at dispute, that all
brigs representatives should have free access to
the authorities of the dty of Canton.

Neeerring tae a future masks the coosidastioa
of the War point, let se sea how the additimal fasts
disolosed in the despatches beer ea the main potion
of the setimdity of the Arrow. Let it never he
forgotten that this is the point upon which the whole
question of right really terns. Our alleged case
against the Chinese is that on the 6th of October,
whoa the 12 Chinamen were seised, the Arrow was
under the protection ot the British lag; that that
leg woe dying whim the Anew was bowled, and
hauled down with Meek by the Chinese editem Now,
is this so ? Is this ease made oat in point of kw, or in
point at fact ? In paint of tack Yin mem, in his first
letter, of the 10th (and meioses the depeeitiaa of the
wimme on which that averment is iboodei), that the
iireAs was Chingos hulk sad Chinese meamed. In
his letters at the 14th and list ha elk that is was
not the property of a radian ; that whea the Assn
seined the men they maw 1113 iNtirlef as baud of her;
that at that time no lag wee lying; mad that it
weal, indeed, have hem watery to ismoishie
tom if there had. New el those @Baptism, these
tabling to the bull aid smodag et the vessel are
widen denied la nay pert of the degatdes I it
is expressly admitted, and is indeed dated in the
register, that her sole owner was a Chinese; the
engem as to the hoisting of the leg is not nega-
tived; and though it is throughout alerted by Mr.
Coral Paw that a leg woo lying when the
seizure was mads, yet of that sesertim sot our. pep-
tide of proof is marshes, disclosed is the ppers
before our, to ematerset the explicit evidence the
Mbar way.
