THE BATTLE IN CHINA-THE vICTO.
RIOUS AMERICANS AND ENGLISH.

We yesterday treated somewhat at length
the commercial aspects of the battle that oc-
Cured between the Chinese imperialsts and
the Joint forces of the Americans and English.
That battle was in many respects very remark
able 1t is remarkable first, that three hun
dred and thirty men, who were strangers and
foreigners, should have so signally defeated
ten thousand of the imperial troops, who were
not only well armed and regularly officered,
but had the advantage Of being protected by
forts. tits also remarkable that mere hand
full of men sho1ld dare, in strange land, to
brave the displeasure of vast nation contain
ing multiplied millions of men. It is q remark
able spectacle, too, to see Americans and Eng
lishmen fighting side by side like broshcrt
against common enemy They both cxhib
tied chivalrous courage ,r
The Americans and English who were en-
gagged in the battle manifest much solicitude
and anxiety lest their hostilities should be mis-
interpreted and misunderstood by their home
seem to be justi6able causes. 1t seems that
the imperialists, who we're encamped on ground
belonging to the foreigners, had been in the
habit of committing various depredations and
outrages, and had more than once amused
themselves by shooting at the foreigners as
they passed along Their remonstrances to
the proper authorities had been sighted At
length an English lady, escorted by gentle
man, was attacked by them. Several severe
wounds were inflicted on him, and the lady
escaped with difficulty. This was speedily fol-
lowed by other outrages and attacks, which
compelled the foreign residents to take up
arms. The fact that the American and Eng
lish consuls, as well as officers of the two
navies, were the prominent agents in the affair,
is 1,rima tacie evidence that there was no other
remedy for their wrongs, and no other protec-
ton for themselves, their families, and their
property, than resort to arms.
Whether the affair has ended, or what will be
its further results, we are not informed. Should
the imperialists persist in their attacks, it is
not unlikely that triangular army will be
formed--a kind of war alliance between the
rebels, the Americans, and the English. Nor
are other and more important results impos-
sible.
