an article appears concerning the sn
Opium by Americans in China; ard
that the British P!enipotentiory. S-.-u
finger, has endeavored in vain to suppress,
Il would be amusing il it did not EXCITED

British in China endeavor to identify tie stnrt,
cans in their quarrel with that country. lhke
The British ienipoientiary has enae.r r, o,
put stop 10 the smuggling ot Opiam By a.

But let England accord to China the sa7,. 53.

execute their own soil, and in their own nrgs
let them seize tho prohibited article whe -ever the

The question Of the morality OF in,rod,, :, n.

tar OF life or death to her people, has nothr to
10 win these remarks that is an afr,ir which
concerns private ndividuals--smugplipg has in
all ages and places been put in practice and al
though the laws of England are terribly severe
on Inc subject at home, she scruples not 10 UNFOLD
II ABROAD, when it is for her interest and can be
done with impunty. But it is intended to draw
attention TO the insidous we'll as absurd den of
The British PleniPotentiary making u shew of in.
reference in caso where he had no, the shade w
Of authority.
AS contrast of the modus operaadi of III ri.
tish Plenipo, see the circular of Commodor. z. ar
ney, commanding the American squadron
China waters, dated lsi April, lS42, and D
gated through the American Consul AT Ma, Al
by this il was made known to those whom il Ill
Concern, and by translation also the Chine III
thor,ies. that The american flag could reee Ei
support from ITS government, for the riolaf III
fhe Idrs Of Chtna. This is all which that q
and high minded officer had right to do,
MiS, as well as IN every ,other respect, viii
the station. his conducl has been above all r
-scrupulous in paying every Difference 4 III
rights of China, and to her authorities, no ha.
failed rlsIdly to exac, reparaton, for any
like want OF respect to his flag such occas
have. however, been few and slight. From
very first Of the troubles in China, decided
has been drawn in favor Of the American
which the conduct of this officer has boen
calculated to preserve.
ny mas we are assured. that the forces nj
United States will not be employed in rayu
the fields and towns in China, aud in des,ro
her peaceful. industrious. and unoffendine in
