VERY LATE FROM CHINA.
Ratification OF The american TREATY,

Ratification Of The american Treaty!
The Paul Jones' Captain Watkins, one Of the
fastest sailers ont OF New York arrived yesterday
in III days from Canton.
Our advces from Hong Kong are TO the 9th OF
September
Among the passengers in the Paul Jones' are
Fletcher Webster and J. Fl. O'Donneli, OF The
American Embassy TO China.
The most important piece Of intelligence BY
this packet, is the ratification, BY the Emperor, OF
the 'iTreaty with America" negotiated by Key
ing and the Hon. Caleb Gushing. 1t went into
effect at Canton on the 25ih Of September, SO far
as the Chinese are concerned. As it has also
been ratified By our Senate, the Treaty will I'M
medaely go into full force and operation. The
Americans stand high in the estimation OF the
Celestials
There we're five French vessels Of war at Can
ton The French Minister was negotiating a
Treaty
The Chinese in Canton seem TO hate "outside
barbarians" most cordially. They look upon the
English alone as outside savases, and threatened
vengeance against them. We give to-day an
edict 10 this effect
European civilization was beginning 70 show
itself in China: the English had opened ISL
preme Court" and invited lawyers TO practice
therein
The American irigate Brandywine was at Can
ton when the Paul Jones lefl; and the sloop OF

TIE TREATY WITH CHINA.

The Treaty between the United States and Chi
ma bcin. yet under The seal confidence. which
has been removed from the greater part Of The
documents communicated with the Treaty 10 the
Senate we have selected from those documents
for immediate publication lie following paper,
which, for all practical uses, will I've more inter
esling to our readers than even The Treaty ITSELF
because il gives our Ministers own view Of the
character and bearings OF the Treaty. Nat. Int
From w. Cushing 10 he Secretary IF STATE
Macao, July s, 1871
Sir--l have the honor 10 enclose you copy Of
the Treaty Of Wang Hiya as signed on The 81
instant
On examining this document, you will find, in
the first place, that, in the description Of the con-
tracing parties, the language OF The sipnlatioD>,
and The mode OF execution, the style Of pertec,
equality between tie United States and China
has been sedulouslv Observed; and, | may add,
that this has been carefully attended 10 in The Chi
nesc as well as in the English duplicate OF the
Treaty.
You will perceive, in the second place that this
treaty contains many provisions which are not
embraced either in the English treaty Of Nan
king. or in the treaty supplementary thereto,
which compartments the tariff and the commercial
regulations.
First. The tariff is amended, by the reduc-
ton Of The duties on some articles Of American
production, and by fixing, with greater precision.
what goods are contraband or subjects of mo-
nopoly.
There is nothing in The English treaties 10 limit
the power Of the Emperor in the exclusion OF ar
ticles OF import or export.
Thus he might render all commercial privileges
nugatory, By prohibiting the expectation OF tea
and silk, and the importation OF cotton or cot
ton fabrics; or he might obstrucl the commerce
in these or any other articles, BY making them
the subjects Of close monopoly, as is now The case
with salt.
This is guarded against in the treaty Of Wang
Hiya, by making the objects OF contraband and
monopoly matter OF stipulation between the
Governments And no notifications Of the tariff
are to be made without the consent OF the United
States.
Second By The English Treaties, the Consul is
security for the payment of duties, and is bound TO
prosecute for all infractions of the Revenue laws
OF China. This is to transfer TO The British Co
vernment the Office and responsibility OF paving
duties, which involves much OF regulation and OF
form in the prosecution OF trade, which expe-
rience has already shown to be inconvenienl to
the subjects as we'll as the Government OF Great
Britain. All this is avoided in the Treaty OF
Wang Hiya. BY making The duties payable in
cash, which Is perfectly acceptable TO the mer.

SOMETHING FOR THE BALTIMORE FIREMEN.
We find the following singular editorial para
graph in the Phladelp hia u. S. Gazette of yes
terday:
1t will he seen that most disgraccful riot
took place in Baltimore on Saturday evening,
among the tiremcn. Baltimore ''scrms t. br
given up to the misruIe Of frcmnn, " and her
authorities powerless, when called against
them. Why do not the Mayor and Councils
prevent all these things, by Furnishing with sc
verify the actors in the diSgraceul scenes, and
shifting up, or tearing down, the houses in
which they assemble, and keep their apparatus.
We are totally at a loss to know the reassn
why such paragraph as the above could have
appeared in the columns of so respectable Il
journal as the Gazette. Never within our re-
collection have SO few fremen's riots occurred
in this city as during the present year, and the
one referred to was not only quellcd in a short
time, but some eighteen or twenty of the ring
leaders instantly arrested by the police. We
only wish that Philadelphia could boast of such
"A quiet and orderly body Of fromon as Balt-
more. In fact we are not quite sure, but that
the paragraph was intended for the PhIadeI-
phia tircmen, as that city is the only one we
know of that "seems 10 be given up to the mis-
rule of fremen." The Gazette will certainly
haze to explain.
GRAND PIC-Hrc EXCURsION. The Sabbath School
Association of the Universalst Church intend having
