" If I understand the current opinion here among those
generally believed to be best informed, it is that the whole
mass of the English nation were delighted when our
troubles began, hoped to see the American people perma-
nently broken up, and the Republic divided; that this
arose, on the part of the-aristocracy, from a not unnatural
hatred of our institutions, which they thought a standing
reproach to their own ; and, on the part of the middle and
workine classes, from a dislike to the growing strength
of a nation already a rival, and which they feared might
possibly become a superior. It is not believed that the
English had any particular liking for the South, and their
abhorrence of slave] y had long been notorious ; but it is
believed that they were willing to subordinate their dis-
like of slavery to their desire for the downfall of the Union,
and when this should be accomplished they would b 3 as
willing to see the South destroyed as the North."

It is nob, however, with what the feeling was, but

.„, . .

with what it is, that General BADEAU undertakes to
deal. He says that a profound desire exists among
all classes to cultivate the closest relations of amity
with the United States. While recognizing that
England inflicted serious injury on America during
the war, and that no friendship can subsist while one
retains the sense of wrong and the other antici-
pates retaliation, he declares that the English are
willing to do much more iii reparation than Ame-
ricans give them credit for. They acknowledge
that the Alabama should not have been allowed to
leave, that they are answerable for her ravages, and
are ready to pay any fair amount, which he consi-
ders to be alike the feeling of the Government
and of the people. The former manifest no hos-
tility in consequence of the utterances of American
statesmen, as instanced in Lord CLARENDON'S re-
ply to the note of Mr. Fisii, and Mr. GLADSTONE'S
remark (at the Lord Mayor's dinner after that note
had been received), " with the country of Mr. PEA-
BODY we are not likely to quirrel." Had the debate
in the House of Commons on the Alabama claims,
set down for last July, taken place, prominent
members were prepared to take advance ground in
favour of the accountability of England.
" The best men in England are sincerely anxious to
create such a sentiment as shall make it imposasible for
serious difficulty to occur between the two countries; they
lose no opportunity with pen or tongue, in public or in
private, to evince this desire. It is right that the fact
should be recognized in America, because America, having
received a wrong, should know that many English are
anxious to wipe away the recollection of the wrong, not
only by kind words, but by acts such as America can re-
ceive as fitting reparation."

The closing remarks of the article are very impor-
tant, as indicating certain views which the PRESI-
DENT entertains. Some have endeavoured to spread
the notion that General GRANT hates England,
one of those gross untruths which those who are
always striving to stir up ill blood between the two
nations industriously circulate :

"This is not the time to select for serious difficulties be-
tween us. With two liberal parties in power, with every
prospect of the continuance of each, with the people in one
country becoming more prosperous, and in the other more
powerful, every day—the friends of the whole race, in
either land, should do all in their power to foster the most
friendly feelings. The two nations should strike hands, and
with their liberal ideas, theiradvancing Christianity, their
increasing education, their material wealth, they can only
present a front that no physical power will attack, but
which no great mural evil that they may wish to remove
can long withstand."

The Americans in Paris, .at a meeting held at
Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co.'s banking rooms, have
appointed Wednesday, the 16th inst., as the date on which
a public commemoration will be held in honour of the late
Hou. Anson Burlingame. The following gentlemen were
appointed an Executive Comniittee:—Rev. Dr. Lamson, C.
Bowles, Dr. Evans, Nathan Appleton, Colonel Frank
Moore. The general committee consists of Americans
resident and non-resident in Paris—gentlemen who have
kncwn or been associated with Mr. Burlingame during
his brilliant career. Richard; Esq., President; and
Eugene Winthrop, secretary. The commemoration will
take place in the American Chapel, Rue du Berri, and the
Hon. E. B. Washburne, American Minister, and Governor
Bullock, of Massachusetts, among others, will deliver ad-
dresses. Music, by the choir, will form part of the service.
We learn from America that the news of Mr. Burlingame's
death has produced a deep impression. In the House of
Representatives a panegyric has been pronounced upon
the deceased, and the Massachusetts Legislature and other
public bodies have passed resolutions expressive of their
regret at his loss. The ships in Boston harbour hoisted
their colours half-mast when the news became known.
The report on the decline in the American Mer-
cantile Marine did not receive the unanimous vote of the
committee. The proposition for drawbacks in shipbuild-
ing materials was unanimiusly agreed to; but, among
others, from which a minority dissented, was the proposal
for a bounty on whatever American materials were used.
Messrs. Holman and Judd are in the minority, who, though
they have not submitted a report, will do so when the bills
are considered, proposing amendments in accordance with
their views. Several steamship projects are under the
consideration of the Senate Committee on commerce. The
Copenhagen scheme will receive an adverse 'report. Mr.
Garrison and other New York capitalists and shipowners
have been heard by the committee, and Captain Jewett
was about to speak on behalf of the Mediterranean and
Oriental Steamship Company as well as the Cotnrnercial
Navigation Company. One bill proposes a subsidy. of
525,000 for the round voyage weekly between N •xv York
and Liverpool, besides ocean postage, an amount which
Congress will certainly not sanction.
-From California we hear that in Stu, Francisco,
on Washington's birthday, there were numerous outrages
committed upon Chinamen. At one time a serious riot
was threatened, but a heavy rain aided the police in dis-
persing the mob. The trade between California and China
and Japan-rapidly increases. The Pacific Mail Company
have four of their finest and largest vessels making
monthly trips between the two countries, and four smaller
vessels in the China seas to perform tributary service. In
1867 the export of merchandise to China from San Fran-
cisco was a little over one million dollars in value, and of
_ .

gold and silver nearly five tniliions. In 1869 the total

merchandise export from San Francisco to China and
Japan fell a little short of two million dollars, while almost
nine millions of gold and silver were sent out. Besides
treasure, which will thus be seen is the great element of
the exports, the principal shipments of last year were
154,000 barrels of flour, 24,000 rentals of wheat, 3,600
rentals of oats, 11,000 flasks of quicksilver, and 350 pack-

ages of California wine. The Pacific Mail Steamship Com-
pany's steamers made 13 trips last year; and, besides
these, 22 sailing vessels carried cargoes from the Pacific
coast to Asia ; but more than half of all the merchandise
went by the steamers, and all of the gold and silver. The
number of Chinese on the Pacific coast, according to the
statistics of the California Legislature is 89,500. Rumouis
were current that there was to be a massacre of the Celes-
tials, but it was confined to the little boys throwing stones
at the Chinamen, according to a well-established custom.
In San Francisco the people have become so accustomed
to a rush into the street, that on the last earthquake, Feb.
17, they were there before the shock had ceased.
The New York Life Company are about to open
a London office ; Mr. llomens, in conjunction with Mr.
Walford, an English barrister, having completed arrange-
ments on behalf of that leading American Life Assur-
ance Company. Attached to the offices at 76, heapside,
will be a reading-room well supplied with newspapers, a
fact worth the while of American travellers to make a
note of. The enterprise shown by this and another Ame-
rican Life Assurance Company in assuming a position in

the English citadel may surprise the London companies ;
but. the truth is acknowledged that Life Assurance is
better managed in America than in England ; that the

companies having there a more profitable means of in-
vesting, and a close Government inspection, combine
better security with larger profits. There is no reason
why Englishmen should not avail themselves of the bene-
fits American companies offer.
It appears Mr. Waddington has arrived in Canada
from England to press upon the attention of the Govern-
ment the construction of the British Pacific Railway. He
believes the best point at which to commence is the mouth
of the Neepigon River on Lake Superior. All the money
required for the work can bo had in London. Bills have
been introduced in Co press to aid projected railways
through Minnosota towards the Pacific, close to the her-

der of the British Possessions: Both the Dominion and
the United States behove that the construction'of either
roads is a necessity in furthering their political aims. The
object of the Dominion is to knit together the isolated
pruvinces, without which she can be a Dominion only in
name ; the object of the United States is to bring all these
provinces ►nto the Union.

LAD VERTlSEMENT.l—henceforth no oue will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whoa position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a fc,w out of more than 68.000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brchan, of seven years' liver complaint,
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation,
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No. 1,771: Lord Stuart de
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia,
No. 49,832: " Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr.
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 32 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, anti partial deafness. Im-
portant Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
