tween the British Government and the Governor Of
Hong Kong, respecting emigration from HOngKong
and China since 1856. His object was to ascertain
whether the principle of emigration had been abused
and whether the unfortunate Chinese, under the
cover Of free emigration had been induced to leave
China for what Subsequently proved to be slavery in
its worst form.
The Earl Of Caernarvon said the emigration Of
coolies TO British colonies had been satisfactorily
Quoted, but he bound to admit that in reference
70 foreign possessions the principles Of free emgra
ton bad been grossly abused Government had no

France.
The rumor continued to be circulated that Pes.
sier would soon retire from the mission to London
on the ground that the climate does not agree with
his health. The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times thinks that the interview between the Embas-
| sador and the Duke d'Aumale, which recently at
Tacted some attention, may have something to do
with the retirement. MN. WsleWski, Moustier and
Drouyn de lHnys had been named in connection
with the succession.

The Patrie devotes an article to the Anglo.Ameri-
can difficulty in the course Of which it attributes the
excitement in the United States to the desire of the
Washington authorities to divert public attention from
their Kansas blanders and from the ptifI results of
the Mormon's campaign.

is to go to war, but they have always induged 10
more noise than deeds, and their sword is more
| than half drawn. Quarresume but economical, they
hesitate before heavy expenditure and prefer sat
1 isfactOry arrangement to costly lauTels. We must
consequently pay little attention to the noise created
on the other side of the Atlantic. The Warlke arti
| cles which fill the immense columns Of the American
journals the vehement speeches, the orders given for
the lifting out OF fleets, have already been witnessed
four or five times within the last twenty years with
out harming any one and the Mayor of New York
| enjoys light conscience, notwithstanding that
journal denounced him as traitor for having drunk
to the health of Queen Victoria at banquet recently
| given by the English Consul
