lance. and in such a situation that il could
not be reinforced-or supported In case OF
war, or permanently maintain large force
in country too barren TO support it. The
leading conservative journals, such as the
London Quarterly and Frazer's Maya
zine, have for the last fifteen years, insist.
ed that the Indus was the Natural and most
proper boundary on one side for the An
glo- Indian empire, and that 10 extend 1t
beyond lhatlimit was to hazard lis integ-
riiy. Great Britain will be stronger in
Indiasby adhering to this policy. Bur
NAH she will eventually absorb, and the
whole of the isthmus Of MaIacca and Co.
chin China, TO the very borders ofthe Chr
nese empire. But her encroachmenls In
this direction will be gradual, and will al
ways be supported by her naval power, IN
which she is, at least so far as Aslailcs are
concerned, iuviuci5le.-I
JAPAN.-It is stated in some English
papers that it is in con emplation TO employ
the naval force lately acting on the Chi
nese coast, against the empire of japan,
which is known 10 have heaped many in
suits upon the British flag when vessels
bearing i nave been driven into her pors.
The japanese government is even more
exclusive and insulting 10 foreigners than
the Chinese, and we should not be surpris-
ed. if the rumor prove correct and Great
Britain make the attempt to humble the
insolence OF those islanders, If, however,
the histories and mai atiyes which we have
read regarding the japanese be correct,
their soldiers will be found far superior to
the Chinese Their courage is indubita,
bic. and their skill in war is considerable

SPAIN-Espartero seems not yet 10 be
firm in his position. Barceloni has re.
VOTED, but. is probably by this time again
in the power of the regent. The. circuul
stances of the revolt indicate the unscued
condition of Spain. Civil! war has so long
| ragged throughout the country, that the
minds of the inhabitants are ready for any
toutbreak, and numbers among them, hav
ing been accustomed to a rowing warfare
are not prepared TO sit down contentedll
and enjoy the arts of peace. In such ;
state OF things military chieflain like Els
partero is needed at the head OF fairs, We
even he will find it difficult TO keep tn
whole counlrY quiet.-Ib.
REMARK
When l promised, last week, at tn,
close Of my remarks on The Subject of tn
war upon China, and the sentiments of
leading orthodox religious organ Touch
ing it, 10 take up the matter again at
future time, did not expect SO soon II
find another such text from which TO pur
sue the subject, as is found in the para
graphs above from the Baptist Advocate
Not that had any reason to think tn
Editor Of the Advocate, any more tha
the Editor of the Watchnan, entertaine
more Christian views and sentiments O.
the subject than they both have express
led. But confess was not looking 70
so hardy and shameless an exhibition c
! them did think, Notwithstanding thei
foreclosures for the perpetu;ty Of th
savage practice Of strangling individual

would be some restraint upon them, in re

especially as 10 the aggressive side Of i

from such source. A little reheciio
and study Of the subject shows me bette
what might have been expected. Th
theology which these prints propagate,
E behalf ola merciless and mercenary prizes
hood, requires just such a thing. Cor
quest, or rather subjugation, is its wori
n And 1t is conquest, subjugatiou Of ina
a ter, rather than Of mind Especially as
e pertains to the means employed. So f
as mind is wrought upon it is violated ar
il darkened, instead of being benefited
s. enlightened Well, if such sentimen
: are entertained let them be spoken OF

l. ties of orthodox theology. Let it be Sc,
d that its conquests still go on, as they 6
