THE WAR IN CHINA.

The success of the French arms in China is attri-
buted by the Constitutionnel to the influence of
Christianity. We are inclined to think that the
generality of the world will scarcely look farther
for the advantages gained than the martial spirit of
the Gallic race, which existed in Caesar's time as
prominently as it does at present. The writer
says :—" But it is not exclusively to the courage of
the soldiers, and to the skill and devotedness of
their leaders, that we must attribute those victories.
The civilisation of Pagan Rome succumbed at last.
Ours can never be exposed to such a ftite, because it
constantly derives new strength from Christianity.
It is to the principles of self-denial which Christian-
ity inspires, to that deep-seated feeling of duty for
which Christian armies are ready to sacrifice life and
to endure privations and hardships of ,every kind that
we must attribute the constant triumpb.s of European
arms over those of eastern nations. This purely
moral superiority is especially visible in China,
where we have to deal with a civilisation far more
ancient than our own. The differeiice of the sen-
timents inspired by these two civili s ations is mani-
fested by the difference of the resul ts obtained. It
was well that the two countries, w ttich stand first
among Christian nations, should unite to compell
the Chinese Government to acknowlc.dge and respect
justice and international right. That Government
styles us barbarians—an insult whis.ich two Powers
so high placed might treat with disdain. But while
avenging their insulted dignity an'i guaranteeing
legitimate rights and interests, t key also give a
lesson of reverence with respect to the great moral
Principles on which European society reposes. Gen.
de Montauban says that he cannot give ' further
praise' to the troops:whom he commands. This
is only another mode of informing US that they had
already deserved the highest praise from the very
commencement of the expedition. T The generaland
their
country's favour,
depend upon it that
eir
country's interest. invokes for all the
He may
neither will be withheld. France and the Emperor
are equally proud of that army, Nvilich
can never
fail to merit the gratitude of the nation, and the
liveliest sympathy of the Sovereign ."
