MANILA, January 49, 1870
The ship from China last night brings us somewhat
later news, but apparent change for the better Inc
American trade going and shps sailing. AS soon,
however, the expected British squadron arrives, and
the war which Is said 10 be inevitable begns there Is
all nations, will cease. The Emperor must be very i'm
perfectly of the power of the English and the CON
sequence of the foreign trade only third of the actual
revenue from which finds its way to Pelin. The
government in perpetual dread 0fnsucctons in the
Provinces and the distress consequent upon the inter
mption of the foreign trade VIII hasten such catastro-
pe. The secret associations politically opposed to the
reigning dynasty, give much uneasness to the govern
ment and it is most likely that when the nnumerable
members of these extensive societies find embarrassed
by war with the g outside barbarans, they will think
most favorable and certainly unhoped for occasion
to put their designs into execution, and excite revos in
the Northern and Eastera Provinces. Amid all these
difficulties the Chinese but choose to accede to
the demands which will be made by England for placing
her trade upon fair footing, and behOoves our govern
ment have proper agent the spot TO secure to our
merchants at least equal advantages.
Commission has been sent 10 China by our govern
ment here to inquire into the circumstances of the
burning of the Spanish brig Bilbaino and the impris
of the crew, well to demand restitution for
the loss The Chinese mistook her for English Opt
UNI Smuggler, and are too obstinate to acknowledge
their The Spanish Embassy to China' is any
thing but imposing in its appointments, and will proba-
bly, be treated very cavalierly there.
