onlv n, az his colleagues whom be 10 sfrad Of aud
whom be has characterized more than once as
maa peculiarly able "in picking holes" IL IL pos
sible that simultaneously with this letter you m.y
receive from Ii Terpool the news OF the results OF tue
Ministerial Council Meanwhile, the real besrng
Of the case 10 question may be best judged not from
what has been printed, bat from what has been
wiDlfuly suppressed by the Palmerston organs IN
their first publication Of the conveyed by the
la,t overland mail.
First, then, they suppressed The state ent that
the Russian treaty bad already been rstife1, and
that the Emperor Of China had given instructions
10 bis mandariDs to receive and escort the Anerl-
can Enbs,sy 10 the capital for the exchange OF the
ratified copies of the American treaty. These acts
were suppressed with a view to sti1e the Suspicion
that would naturally aiise, tina. the Eoglisn ana
French EbvOys, instead of the Cyurt Of f-k'o' arc
responsible for meeting obstacles IN the TRANSACTION
Of their business which were not encountered
either BIZ their Russian or American colleagues.
The other still more important, fact that vas at
first suppressed by The Tunes, and the other Palm
erston organs, but 10 now ayOwed on Their part, 10
that the Chinese authorities had gwen notice OF
their wlin gness 10 conduct the English and roDcn
ENJOYS to Pekin; that they were actually In wait
ing 10 receive them at one Of the mouths OF the
river and offered them escort if they only con-
sented 10 leave their vessels and troops. Now, Is
the treaty of Ten.tsin contains no clause granting
to the English and French the right OF sending
squadron of men-of-war up the Pelho, 1t becomes
evident that the treaty was yiolsted, not oy the
Chinese, but BY the English, aud that on the part
Of the latter there existed The ioregone conclusion
10 pick qunrel just before the period appointed
for the exchange of the Publications. Nobody will
fancy that the Hon. Mr.. Bruce acted Oh his Own
responsibility in thus battling the ostensible end
aimed at BY the last Chioese war, but that on the
contrary he only executed secret instructions re-
ceived from London. Now, it is true that Mr..
Bruce was dispatched not by PalmerstOn, bat by
Derby; but then have OILY ~ remind you that
during the first administration of Sir Robert Peel,
when Lord Aberdeen kept the seals Of the Foreign
Office, Sir Henry Bulwer, the English ambassador
at Madrid, picked quarrel with the Spanish Court,
resulting in his expulsion from Spain, and that,
during the debates in the House of Lords on this
"uDtoward event." it was proved that Bulwer, IN
stead of ObeyiDg tbe official Instructions OF Aber
deem, had acted up to the secret instructions OF
Palmerstop, who then rat on the Opposition
benches
A mapeuver has also been carried out during
these last days in the PalmerstOnian press, which
leaves no doubt, at least to those acquainted
with the secret history of English diplomacy during
the last thirty years, to the real author OF the
Peho catastrophe and the impending third Anglo
Chinese war. The Times iDtimates that the guns
planted on the forts of Taku which caused such
havoc among the British squadron were of Russian
origin, and were directed by Russian officers.
Another PalmerstOnan organ is still more plain
spoken. j quote:
-"We row perceive how closely the policy of Russia
is interviewer with tba. OF Pekin; We detect great
III Movements on the Amoor; discern large Cossack
armies msneuveriDg far beyond Lake Beihal, in the
frozen dreamand on the twilight borders Of the Old
World; we trace the course Of ipnumersble caravans
we espy special Russian envoy (Gen. MOuraveff,
the Governor of Eastern Siberis) making his way,
with secret designs, from the remotenes. OF Eastern
Siberia TO the secluded Chinese metropolis; and well
may public opinion in this country burn at the thonght
that foreign influences have had share in procuring
our Dig, ace and the slaughter of soldiers and sail
ors."
Now, this is one of Lord Palmerston's cd tricks
When Russia wanted to conclude treaty of COM
merce with China, he drove the latter BY the
opium war into the arms of her northern neighbor.
When Russia requested the cessiOn of the Amoor, ne
brou chit it about by the second Chinese war, and
now that Russia wants to consolidate her influence
| at Pekin, he extempOrises the third Chinese war.
| In all his transactions with the weak Astatlc
States, with China Persia, Central Asia, Turkey,
il has always been bis nyarable and constant rule
| TO ostensibly oppose Russis's designs by picking
| a quarrel not with Russia, but with the Asiatlc
| State, TO estrange the latter from England by
piratical hostilties, and by this round about way
drive it to the concessions it had been unwilling u
! Weld to Russia. You may be sure that on thia
occasion the whole past Asiatc policy OF Palmer
your attention to the Afghan papers, ordered by
| the House of Commons to be printed on the 9Th
June 1882 They throw more light on Palmers'
| tons sinister policy and the diplomatic history OF
the last thirty years, than any documents ever os
| fore printed. The case is, IN few words, THIS:
| In 1888 PamerstOn commenced war against Dos
| Mohammed the ruler of CsbOol, a war that led TO
| the destruction of an English army, and was COM
menced on the plea of Dost NJ )hammed having en-
| tered into a secret alliance against England with
| Persia and Russia. In proof Of this assertion
Palmerston laid in 1899, before Parliament, Blue
Book, chiefly consisting of the correspondence OF
Sir A. Burnes, the British envoy at Cabool, with
the Government at Calcutta. Burnes had been
assassinated during an insurrection at Caboo
| agsinst the English invaders, but, distrustui o
the British Foreign Minister had sent copies OF some
of his official letters to his brother DR.. Burnes, a
London. On the appearance, in 1889, of the IAN
| chan papers," prepared by PalmerstOn, DIR. BurneI
accused him of having "garbed and forged the dis
patches of the late Sir A. Burnes," and, In corrOb
Grafton of his statement, had some of the genuine
dispatches printed. But it was only last Summer
| that the murder came out. Under the Derby MIN
| istry on the motion of Mr.. Hadfeld, the House o
lsbed in full, and this order has been executed il
such form as to constitute demonstration, to the
meanest capacity, of the truth of the charge o
esrbling and forgery in the interest Of Russia. Or
the ttle-page Of the Blue Book appears the fol

"NoTr-The correspondence only partially given in forne

The name of the official, which appears as q
guaranty for the fidelity of the return, is 1T. W.
