The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-09-25
I From the London Post, august I.


Let it be remembered, too, that the Russian gov
ernment is engaged at rebuilding SebastOpo as
commercial port, and in endcavoring to raise the
ships sunk at Sebastopol. This with the making of
railroads, will furnish Russian capital enough to
accomplish for a series of wears not to speak of her
proceedings on the Amoor river. That superfuous
and soldierlike energy which Russia in the time of
Nicholas was wont to exercise on Turkey, Persia,
Germany, and the Danubian Principalities Alexan-
der is likely to exhibit on his Chinese frontier A
very profitable caravan trade may be driven with
the Chinese-in fact has already been driven for
many years; but this trade it is the policy of the
present Emperor to extend in order to repair the
losses of 1854. 1855 and 1856, and also the loss of
1857 and 1858. 1t is not therefore, likely that for
some years to come Russia will exhibit that prone
to interfere in the affairs of Europe existing
and acted on antecedent to 1851. Should the event
prove otherwise, the union of all Germany and the
alliance of England and France may be left to deal
with the new danger
st Petersburg tAUgD 2) Correspondence Of Lire,pool
WrrcUyl
The Journal of the RHSSjGR AcddolRV contains a
correspondence from Irkutsk the capital of Siberia
dated the I'd of July, in which the importance OF
the treaty with China is pointed out. By this
treaty, the writer says the question OF the boundary
line which was left opcn at the peace of Nertchnsk
1889, is definitely settled In that arrangement
both the contracting Powers Russia and China J
postponed the settlement of the boundary line from
the 141th degree of east longitude down to the
mouth of the AmoOr, to a future period, owing to
trlct, which comprises frontier of 500 wersts or
more than | 000 English miles
Russia, in the meantime, claimed possession of and
occupied it by chain of military posts; and China
though she never acknowledged it as belonging to
Russia, did not actually dispute it, though Russian
diplomacy could never hitherto induce China to
recognise it by treaty. Now, however, under the
pressure OF internal dissensons at home and of the
war with the Western Powers abroad the Celestial
government was more easily induced to come to
terms with Russia, and to recognise the claim of
Russia to the beautiful district Of the mouth of the
Amoor in the hope of preventing her putting forth
further demands which, under present circumstan-
ces, could not be resisted with success In this way
the treaty concerning the boundary line was brought
about, which is one of the greatest Importance for
Russia, will form Of the brightest pages in the
reign OF the present Emperor, and will immortaizc
the name of Mouravicif. the Governor-Cfencral of
Siberia, who negotiated it.
In the course of time the rich and fruitful lands
on the AmOor will it is predicted, become the gra-
nary Of Eastern Siberia and the Russian settlements
in America, well as the principal market for
the millions of inhabitants in China and Japan. This
beautiful tract of country contains all the elements
for producing unlimited supplies Of grain and cat
tie.
The treaty with Russia was signed on the 18th of
June, and ratified by the Emperor of China on the
10th. The negotiations relative to the other trea-
ties We're being pursued with activity. When these
shall have been concluded, the imperial commission
ers will repair to Europe to cement amicable rela-
tions.

A New lork mechanic has been some time eli

Lockport editor says tried successfully, in a
small way, fortnight ago. Its principle is that o
floating locomotive. to move upon the water after
the manner of an ordinary locomotive on a railroad
track The engine and wheels built so as tc

The inventor does not describe his machine with
sufficient distinctness; but he claims that by HI;

faster than the railroad engine, while 1t IS pecu.
