THE EXPECTED ooorERAT1oN OF THE UNITED
STATES WITH ENGLAND--MR. BUCHANAN's AID
L MPLORED, BUT NOT ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
| From the Manchester Guardian, April III
II is said, happily not on ndsputable authority that the
American government has refused 10 with Eng
land in the endeavor to bring the Cantonese and the Impc
rial Commissioner to reason, and to establish the relations
OF the foreign residents and merchants with the Chinese
inhabitants and officials upon satisfactory footing. IL
this is really the case the part taken by Mr. Buchanas
Cabinet Is deeply TO be regretted. The assistance which
might have received from tho United States squadron
in the Chinese waters would not indeed have been either
necessary or important but il would have been both sa
sfacory to the feelings and servceabc the interests of
this country to enjoy the support OF tho United States in
compelling the Chinese TO AFFORD redress for their past Of
fences, and in placing matters for the Future in such po
siiion may eectualy prevent the of such
contests as the present. Had the Chinese govern
ment found that tho three most powerful nations
represented at Canton were unanimously resolved
| to take vigorous measures for the repression tof
such outrages as those lately perpetrated there,
| and were prepared to insist CONFORMITY ursn
the concession of full and sufficient guarantees against their
repetition and the establishment of system which should
insure prompt and eiectual settlement of all future ds
putes between natives and foreigners II would probably
have been found that even the obstnacy OF the Celestial
empire not proof against such combination II must
be remembered that the Americans also inerestedn
the maintenance of peace and orer in the ports openedo
foreigners by the government Of Pekn that their trade
well ours, suffers by the continuance Of the present
state OF things; that the lives OF their citizens quito
mu ch endangered those of British subjects by the cxcIu
sive fanacsm OF the Chinese The popuace of Canton will
care very little whether they immediate free born Yankee

From The London Post, April l6l
We may alo mention another instance Of ISOLATION on the
art OF the United states government The proceedings of
sir John BowriDg in China have received the appreciation
not only OF the American authorities upon the spot but Of
the American people at home The British Cabinet have
Lord Egn 10 Canton 10 negotiate treaty In the advantages
of which (shoud any be obtaned) the United States vii
be denied participation England and France have
agreed act in concert but the Cabinet Washington
alliance. We strongly impressed with the belief that the
only means which European States adopt fer the
purpose of regulating THOR intercourse with people

highly desirable If not necessary; but instead OF adopting
this course appears resolved stand alone ready 10
