A telegram just received from Corfu, and which
brings intelligence from Hong Kong to the 22d
July, confirms the Russian statements as to the
conclusion of the treaty between the Western
Powers and the Celestial Empire. It is stated that
Mr. BRUCE (a relative of Lord ELGIN) is en route
for England, bringing with him the perfected
treaty. The receipt whereof will, of course, set all
doubts at rest.
The statement of its contents is as yet very
brief. Nine new ports are opened for trade; but
whether these are in addition to the five previously
available, or in lieu thereof, does not appear. The
difference is one of no ordinary importance, and as
there is every reason to believe that Lord ELGIN
succeeded in obtaining the concession of all his
demands, it may fairly be anticipated that he has
stipulated for nine additional portes, so as to carry
on the trade between England and China in the most
beneficial manner for both nations. That trade may
be rendered highly advantageous when its present
one-sided character shall be altered, and there is
a mutual interchange of raw materials and manu-
factured commodities. The policy hitherto prac-
tised by the Chinese authorities was very short-
sighted, inasmuch as whatever temporary advantage
might be obtained, must be atoned for in the long
run.

" The residence of a Chinese Ambassador in
London, and of an English Ambassador at Pekin,
are provided for." So says the telegram, and we
fervently hope that the account may prove authen-
tic. The ridiculous isolation of the Chinese Court,
the impossibility of conveying the true state of
affairs to the Brother of the Sun and Moon, pro-
duced the most untoward results. It was the want
of truthful representations that led to the two last
