IIoNG koSG, July 6--The Russian and United
States Ministers have concluded treaties with the
Chinese, and the bearer Of the Russian treaty is
passenger by the present steamer. We cannot
state positively what concessions hnye been obtain
| ed from the Chinese by these treaties but it is
| probable good deal is left to depend upon the
treat e, to be obtained ty the allies the Russians
and Americans STIMULATING for the same priveg.

!, il mentioned that the Americans stipulated
! for the opening Of the new ports of Swatnw and
Taiwan. IN f"rmosa As regards the question Of
compensation for property destroyed mt Cnniun,w We
do not hear that eihing was arranged. :.
Negotiations by the allied Ambassadors are
said 10 be progressing, and it expected that
| treaties would be signed about the 22l ut. If
this result hnd been obtained at the time mention

| PeihD with the intelligence. II is reported that
all the demands Of the allies have been acceded to,
mud that the conditions Of the treaties will confer
extended privileges upon foreigners, and include
guarantee for naturalization for property dcs-
troyed at Canton.
A blockade Of the river mt Canton, Applicable
; only To Chinese boats, has been established, and
! trade must be considered suspended All the ia

conjecture how long the present state Of things

must still be inflicted before the war party around
