THE SUN.
LO4DON, THURSDAY, JAN. 10, 1881

Events are yet going well with the Allies in
China—according to the new Telegram just
received, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, now
bringing us news, from Shanghai up to the 21st,
from Foochow-foo up to the 22d, and from Canton
up to the 29th of last November.
The Treaty already known (by the last mails) to
have been exchanged and ratified, we now learn
had, (when these new advices left) been posted up

on the walls of Pekin for the edification of the
Pekinese. Not only had this been done in evi-
l.
deuce of the completeness of the final pacification,
but, as an assurance of this still more significant,
the Allied armies had withdrawn from the Chinese
Capital, had marched back from the scene of their
victories, and had even returned so far and so fast that
their headquarters were again fixed temporarily at
Tien-ts;n by the 17th of November. There—at
Tien-tsin—her MAJESTY'S Envoy to China, the
Hon: Mr. BnycE, brother of the Earl of ELGIN
and KINCARDINE, will remain (we now hear) until
the spring of 1861 shall have arrived. Preparations
being actively made meanwhile in the city of Pekin
for his reception there as the resident British
Ambassador. One European diplomatist, i. e. the
Russian, having already so far availed himself of
the new order of things brought about by the
Allied Armies, as to fix his quarters at Pekin (even
before the approach o f spring, and apparently before
the return of the EMPEROR) en permanence. Not
one syllable says the Telegram as to the where-
abouts of the late fugitive EMPEROR of the Chinese
—not one hint is given as to his intention of re-
turning to his capital after his somewhat humiliat-
ing flight into the wilds of Manchouria! If the
tidings from China now brought to us in anticipa-
tion of the on-coming mail are dumb as to ths
movements of the Tartar Sovereign—they are cer-
tainly not :silent as to the movements of the The_
ping Revolutionists. According to this last
Telegram, the rebels were again threatenin.g
Shanghai and Ningpo, where the greatest trirror
was excited by the formidable character of
their hostile demonstrations. We heartily trust
that, in regard to these civil commotions in the
Chinese empire, the Allies will hold themselves
altogether aloot--preserving their allegiance (in
China as elsewhere) to the principle of non-inter-
vention.

Conspicuous among the more welcome fragments
of information now brought to us by the electric
avant courier of the Overland Mail, are the intima-
tions—first of all, that permissionhas been granted
for our vessels to trade in the inland
waters, and, secondly, that trade is opened to
us in all the great Chinese outports. As a
pleasant little fragment of news, the latest ad-
dition to the fashionable intelligence ! comes
flashing to us the information that, hence-
forth, there is to reside in London, duly accredited
to the Court of St. James's, no less a personage
than a veritable Mandarin, in his diplomatic
capacity as the Chinese Ambassador !

While we are looking for and talking about tl e
withdrawal of the French Fleet from before Gaeta,
does it not striae one as utterly ridiculous that
upon any pretext whatever, the French Fleet
