CHNA.-The following letter from correspon-
dent OF the Boston Daily Advertiser, of an earlier
date han tina, published yesterday, gives some in
teresilng particulars in regard to the claims of Anne
means upon the Chinese government, which we
have not seen in our files OF Canton papers. The
presence Of an American minister is loudly demand
ed to protect the interest Of our citizens not only
from future aggressons, but 10 obtain redress for
past violations
The departure OF the Constellation for the Uni
ted states leaves commerce in those waters SUBJ
jet 10 every injury The American Commission
er 20 China received his appointment full four
months ago. and might have been at this moment
IN Mscoa, attending TO his duties, instead Of obi
ging II naval officers To act the part OF mi
al-tcf pleniPoIenary pvo tenn, at the earnest solicit
taiions q American residents. Mr.. Gushing left
Washington in the steamship Missouri on the Slst
.lt tor the Mediterranean. but whether he will get
aay farther than Norfolk ia such craft. or not,
cannot trll but our impression is, that detention
81 some days will take place, and perhaps she will
BE- abandoned, aud some other conveyance be
adopted tor the sale transportation Of the long and
anxIously looked for Commissioner 10 the Chinese
doninions.

II 10 not improbable that the conclusion OF the
Brush Commercial Treaty may be somewhat re-
tarded by the loss OF the Chinese High Commits
sioner, Elepoo, who died OF apoplexy on the 4th
inst in the 7tih year OF his age. The American
and other foreign haes were worn at hall mast,
with becoming respect. He is represented as a
| man OF uncommon ability, and very much In the
confidence OF the Emperor, by whom he had been
invested with extraordinary discretionary powers.
His sentiments tow wards foreigners were understood
TO be more liberal than those OF most OF has nation,
and II was, therefore, confidently hoped that, not
| wIthstardlng has advanced age, he might be APP
pointed TO succeed the present viceroy OF Canton
The Commissioners have not, however, suspend
| ed their labors entirely but continue TO be occu-
pied in the discussion OF the less important details
and should the government at Pekin fit, 1t is
expected 10 appoint, as his successor, keehing or
some other high Mandarin, yened IN foreign poll
tics and comparatively friendly 10 foreign interests
the business will be IN state OF considerable for
wsrdness, and may probably be completed soon at
ter his arrival-perhaps IN about two months
Should the court OF Pekin, however, conceive a
change OF policy requisite, and appoint commls-
soner OF contracted views, and iull OF the preJu-
dlces OF his nation, II is impossible to ioresee the
| result.
