THE SAN joan D1FF1cULrY.-The Man
chester (England) Guardian, in an ediso
rial on General Harney's occupation of the
island of San Juan, says:
"The American Generals exploit seems
to have been nothing more than one of
those acts of piracy by which those ]awless
represen tatives of the United States are ac-
customed to settle disputes with weaker and
more barbarous neighbors, but which it is
time she should be taught they cannot safe
ly indulge in against powerful and civilized
nations"
The article concludes as follows -
"We trust the government of the United
States will speedily disavow the a kof it's
officer, otherwise tho English government
will be forced to take immediate steps for
the vindication Of the honor of the country,
and showing the licensed rufians of the
federal army that they most rot appropriate
British territory as coolly as if they were
merely cutting off another slice Of Mexi-
CO."
| The london Post charaoterizes Gen.
Harney's conduct as totally opposed to the
/ first principles Of public law, and hopes the
! American government will disavow It.

THE UNITED STATES MINISTER GONE TO
PEK1N BY the following extract from a
private letter written by W. L. G. Smith,
ESQ, Consul at Shanghai, it appears that
Mr.. Ward, the American Minister, has pro-
ceeded to Pekin. j The letter is Of a date
later than any newspaper accounts. After
giving an account Of the battle between the
English and Chinese, Mr.. Smith says:
Gin the meantime the American Minis
ter and suite were aboard the Powhatan,
and on the Goth received intelligence that
a high Mandarin, specially deputed by the
Emperor, was waiting to receive him few
miles off, to escort him to Pekin. Mr..
Ward, of course, availed himself Of this
civility Of the Chinese government, and on
July 5th, proceeded, under an escort of
Tartar cavalry, to Pekin, where I presume
he now is, and has, ere this, exchanged
notifications Of the new treaty in the Imper-
ial capital The Russian Minister has been
in Pekin some days, and the Secretary Of
the Governor-General Of Siberia RUSSIAN
also reached here on the 9th instant, with a
letter to me from the Governor General,
saying that their treaty had been ratified.

tiers return home without exchanging rati6
