EMBASSY TO CHINA.

la a former Paper we stated._ that the Embassy to
China under Lord Amman, disembarked at Tien-
Sing. in the gulf of Pv-tche•Lee,nn the 26th of July,
after a remarkably quick passage up the Yellow Sea.
A letter from a Mr. Damn, one of the yourig
writers at Canton, states, that in Septemb..r they were
still in Pekin. and that rumours unfavourable to the
hopes of the Mission were circulated among the Mtn.
darines at Canton, io consequence of our elate espe-
dtti.in to the Nepaul territory. Mr. BPSNERNIAN,
another Writer on the Establishment, considers these
rumours. and he is probably right, as the we .?
idle gossip of a set of den disappointed in not getting
the Ambassador into their trammels, ar.d training Itirn
for the Court. The Chinese were perfectly aware of
the whole transaction respecting Nepaul sir Inonstis
before the arriv sl of Lord AMU/MT before Niacin.
' where he received the most flattering invitation hods
the Emperor, to which his reception at Tien-sing coy-
responded; Whence then comes this sudden it st
jealousy concerning Nepaul ? That si.me s
might arise with regard to the humiliating ceremony
which the Chinese demand from all foreign A tuba.-
sadors, may be readily conceived, for such have in-
variably happened ; but as the Chinese are much
addicted to precedents, and they have the recent one
of Lord MAcntrisrav before them, it can hardly he
apprehended that any very serious difficulty will
arise on this point of etiquette.
We have to add. that no dispatches or letters of
any kind have yet been received from Pekin, tit, er
from Lord Aminntxr, ur from any of his ; Anl
that at the India House the highest hopes are en-
tertained of a beneficial tesult from this expens;ve
Embassy.
