China and the United States

The latest advices from Shanghai inform us
OF the arrival of MIR. Ward, the United States
Minister at Peiho. On the 10th utimo.
while the Powhattan was anchored off Pei
tang, there arrived an Imperial Edct, order
ing that the American Minister and suite OF
twenty should be escorted with all honor to
Pekin, and that they should leave Pe-tang
any day after the 18th. The edict was in an
swer to communication of the American
Minister informing the authorities that he was
present and ready to exchange the treaty at
any time and place which they might appoint.
On the morning of the Goth, Mr.. Ward and
suite arrived at Pei-tang, where they were re-
ceived by an escort, and conducted at Pekin
with every show Of respect. They first tray
eled forty-6ve miles across the country in GOV
cred CARTS striking the Opeiho some ten miles
above Tien-Tsing, and thence proceeded in
iunks to Toong Chau, distant twelve miles
from Pekin, of which it is the port There
they again took carts for the interior
The entire trip occupied eight days and a
half, five of which were passed upon the river
They passed not less than six or eight barriers
between Peitsang and Toong Chau Nom none
OF them, however, being in repair, or backed
by forts. The boatmen said they were partly
to stop the English and partly to afford shell
ter to junks when the ice was breaking up
The Legation remained at Pekin fifteen DAYS,
during which they were confined to their
quarters-not, however, as prisoners, for they
were at liberty at any moment to walk out :
but the Commissioners refused the use of hor-
SEES and guides, leaving it optional with Mr..
Ward to grant permission to walk out or not.

er, have closed the gates entirely had not that
gentleman taken firm stand at the very first
interview, informing Kwel Lang that as soon
as bis movements should be at all restricted.
he should close all intercourse and demand a
return escort 1t seems that the emperor was
very anxious to see Mr.. Ward, but he also
persisted upon his performing Ko-totg J. e., pros
trating himself nine times with his head to the
ground, which was positively refused as being
against the principles Of His Excellency The
result of this was that, upon the fourteenth
day of their stay, it was concluded to receive
the Presidents letter at Pekn, and to send
His Excellency back to Peitang to exchange
the treaty. and the next day they returned
accordingly.
They arrived at Peitang on the 10TH and
treaties were there exchanged.
The correspondent of the London Times
thinks the whole affair was humiliation to q
great nation, and was intended as such.
