HIGHLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING


CHINA.
WASHINGTON, April 49, 1854
1t is understood here that the government received
information from an intelligent private gentleman lately
returned from residence Of several years in China OF
very important and interesting character.
Among other things, il appears that late minister
to the Celestial empire would have gone to Pekin had
Commodore Perry possessed the requisite discretion
allow him ship of for the purpose. AT Pekn the
Emperor could have been brought to such would
have given the whp-hand the English. As mat.
ters last stood her Britannia Maesty's agents
aging them all their way Is believed that the
ultimate object Of John Bull is nothing less than the pos
session of Shanghae which being at the outlet of the
great Chinese Amazonthe Yang tse Keang-would give
England the monopoly of Of half the Celes
tial empire
Cur new Minister to China having sort Of general
rowing commission and pretty wide margin of discre
tcn may perhaps do something but he is green hand
in Celestial diplomacy, and may do nothing at all In
the meantime it is suspected that the English at the
bottom of the present. revolutionary movements, with
the expectation that between the contendng parties they
may finally Shanghae and some other ports, and
thus carry off the spos and erect the grand establish
ment Of second East India Company the Central
Flowcry Kingdom.
Hisa pity that Commodore Perry should have been
occupied year with his squadron in taking letter
to the Emperor Of Japan and in calling for answer.
But presume that administration will be satisfied
if Of any kind is received and for China if
England take of and Russia at the time,
it is quite likely that General Pierce will not have word
to say upon the subject.
THE GADsDEN TREATY-ANoTnER NOMINATION RE-
JECTED-NEwsPAroRIAL-TH HIP

In Executive session today a motion made to
consider the vote by which the Gadsden treaty was re-

on to record their votes jones' of Tennessee Dawson
Georgia Clay of Alabama the Senators ques
ton. Notwithstanding that the motion merely
OF courtesy which win not affect the fate of the treaty
yet odous Is the whole matter that il only after
hours debate that prevailed. The treaty will be
finally consigned to oblivion to morrow.
The administration received another slap from the 5e
nate to day in the rejection Of Benjamin F. Angel nomi-
mated Consul at Honolulu. Angel is a pet of Marcy
and the President His rejection the ground of
his abolition proclives, and because of the cheat
imposed upon the Baltimore Convention. The consulate
is considered the third best in the gift of the govern

MORE ABOUT TEE TREATY-ITs PROSPECTS,, ETC.
The vote yesterday upon the Gadsden treaty is per.

W the Senate advise and to the ratification Of
the teayP Upon this the vote stood twenty seven to
seveneen-not two-thirds-in favor; and that number
being necessary under the constitution the motion was
consequently lost 1t is just possible Jones' Dawson
and Clay have returned and James, of Rhode Island has
left that twot thirds vote may yet be had Now that
the matter is again before that body for reconsideration
amended and emasculated, however, il has been it
matters little what ultimate disposition is made Of it,

No important adyces have been received by the last
steamer by The State Department beyond proclamation
issued by the British government throwing open the

Atlantic States and California, which refused the
