nat the American exploring expedition TO

ieet with hospitable reception. The En- ,
error appears to have pretty correct con- '
option of the Anglo American propensity
or acquiring territory, and takes warning
rom the fate Of China in permitting the ,

I have watched with attention the events
which brought about the fundamental change
IN the policy OF the Chinese Empire and
these very events, upon which You base the (
advice you gave me, are for me the most evil
dent proof that kingdom can never enjoy
a durable peace without the rigorous exclu- .
sion of all foreigners. II China had never
permitted the English to establish them
selves on a large scale at Cnnton, and to
take root there, either the quarrels which
caused the war would not have takcu place,
or the English would have found themselves
so weak that they would have at once sunk
in the conflict. But from the moment when
China allowed herself to be touched on one
point she rendered herself vulnerable on
others. This was the reasoning Of my great
ancestor when he granted you the facility
of oftradjng with japan, and but for the proof
Of friendship which you had frequently given
to our country it is certain you would have
been excluded as all the nations Of the West

ion of this privilege, am willing that you
should continue to enioysit; but will take
care not to extend it to any other nations,
for it is easier to maintain dy ke in good pre-
seryation, than to prevent the enlargement
OF the breeches which sre permitted in it. /
have given orders to my officers in conse-
quence, and the future will prove to you
that our policy is wiser than that OF the Chi
nese Empire"

iL5-Our friend OF the Lancaster Gazette seem
to doubt that the population of Chillicoth
d has increased one-fourth, since the censu
r of 1850. Our reasons for the assertion wer
q various. l. The opinion of those who hav
attended TO the subject. 2. The large pro
portion ofnew and strange faces, one meet
on the street. 8. The fact that rentals hav
risen at least 33 per cent, since 1850.
. The great call lOr, and scarcity of, tenement
and boarding-places. Ifthese reasons wi
