ton of the Empire which the Chinese alone occupy and
if the Tarars retain any portion it win be the more
northern part and from this there great pro-
liability OF their expulsion early PERIOD and Of the
final and total downfall Of their dynasty.
The opening which this change Of rulers and no doubt
Of policy far foreign trade is concerned will afford
to American will be Of immense importance,
and hardly be duly appreciated The utmost anxiety
is felt in this city for prompt the part Of our
Government in connection with this subject, and great
restveness is exhibited lest they will allow the golden
opportunity to slip through their hands and be cu;ched
by great commercial rival, who is the spot and
will naturally take every advantage of the existing state
of things there These fears strengthened by the
tenor Of the late adyices, which that the British
Commissioner had gone up Nankin in war steamer
where he had been cordially received and spendidy en-
tertaned by the rebels.
Whilst these things are going our Government are
supine and standing with folded hands, without making
the least exertion to get new Commissioner, Mr.
WALKER, out to the scene of action because forsooh
there is no national steamer ready to convey him
Under the present state Of affairs there is no exercn
which should be made and hardly any expense which
would not be justified to the advantages which are
now presenting themselves regards the future gigantic
trade Of China and if can be procured Mr.
Walker should be dispatched without delay by the over
land route to Hong Kong and take his chance for getting
on from thence But the Government obtain
er Immediately by using the privilege which they possess,
Of taking at any time any of the mail at
valuation. Several Of these now in this
port either of which could be prepared for sea and start
say lst September
But that delay would be very Objectionable she
would have to make the passage by the Cape Of Good
Hope and it would be nearly quite four months before
Mr. WALKER by this mode could reach Nankn and the
proper plan would be to take of the mail steamers
the Pacific and proceed from San Francisco Mr..
WALKER could leave here by the Chagres steamer Of Goth
instant and San Francisco by lst October, and be in
Nankin early in November
This is the course the Government should, and hope
will, follow and if by their delay the chance of acting
promptly and efficiently regards this vitality important
subject should be lost there will be great and very
just cutlery against them. 1t is Of those in
which the advice Of Demoshenes should be followedac
ton, action, action
The advices the fever in New Orleans are dread
full 1t exceeds all former epidemcs both as to extent
and magnity The city had been free from the disease
since l84 from which fact and in consequence Of the
railroads constructing at the city, there pre-
sent more unaccimaed persons than usual among the
aborng classes besides unusual crowd Of immigrants
1t is these classes that the weight Of this dreadful
pestlence is fang for inquiry Of New Orleans people
Hcue Oi OF
among that class Of citizens who comfortable
circumstances have fallen Their time, however, will
come for the early progress Of epidemcs in that city is
always among the poorer and destitute classes and
when that description Of fuel is consumed it takes hold
of those in better circumstances. At the the disease
progressing would suppose that the material for
its ravages would soon be exhausted particularly there
appears to be general stampede among those who can
leave the city
The benevolent citizens Of New York are actively
poyed in raising money for the relief Of the sufferers
and have already collected twelve thousand dollars
God win reward their noble charity.
You have doubt the publication here relative
to the claim Of Lord STIRLING the fisheries 1t is cal
culated give face that negotiation and has
attracted great attention here and will do to much
greater degree "Down East learn that licenses will
be granted by Lord STIRLING TO American fishermen with
view to test the question, and that Government viii
be called upon to protect such vessels.
There IS fierce opposition here to the demands which
it is understood the British Minister is urging in connex
ion with this question: particularly regards tie regis
try Of British vessels and the coast;ng trade to the Pacific
Neither proposition should be listened to for enc moment
and should hope the Administration have no intention to
do SO. Mr. FILLNoRE's Administration would not take
them into consideration
The heat here is dreadful. L.
