Of the world, has made representations
10 the Chinese auihcrilies, setting forth
the proprieiy and right of this country
TO be placed on an equal footing with
England in regard 10 the Chinese trade,
and the Governor OF Canton bad return.
ed favorable answer, stating that so
soon as The treaty with England was
ratified, measures would be taken TO es-
tablish the American interests on fa-
vorable and permanent footing. The
Governor says, "The Emperor is aware
that the American merchants have been
more cnntenied. and more ohservant Of
the laws, than those of other nations,
and that therefore he is we'll disposed 10
pay attention to the representations
made 10 him in their behalf.n John Bull
will be apt TO find Brother Jonathan
somewhat in his way in China, after all
the expense he has been at in getting
