LONDON, Sept %, 1868.
You have already been informed by telegraph Of
the safe arrival Of the Chinese Embassy in England
There was no public or official reception at Liver
pool, and the Embassy came by ordinary train to
London and are now comfortably located at the
Grosvenor Hotel. Their arrival has caused no ex-
ctement and hardly any curiosity. Reverdy John
son, the United States Minister, being on q visit to
Lord Houghton In the country, has not yet had time
TO call upon the distinguished foreigners. As fash
ionable and diplomatic London Is also "out OF town.
the Chinese are almost altogether neglected.
have previously informed you that the policy Of
the English government is TO ignore this Embassy
much as possible; to throw cold water upon IT. to
depreciate its importance. The press takes its tone
from the government. In these dun days, when
London editors are glad OF any kind Of a sensa-
ton iii up their stupid columns, the newspapers,
at a government hint and by general agreement,
take no notice OF the Chinese. Their arrival was
not even teegfaphed from Liverpool When the
news that they had come to London was published
IL was printed in the smallest type and In the least
conspicuous columns Of the journals. The Standard
the only paper that has broken the editorial silence
about the Embassy, and that journal sneers at 1t and
rdicues it. As the Standard Is the of1cial organ OF
the party IN power its remarks are OF great conse
qlence.
that the reason for this policy OF England towards
the Chinese Embassy Is Jealousy OF the United States,
and OF the growing influence Of the United States
IN China. II the Chinese had elected an Engllshman

pitality OF the reception OF the Ambassadors here
would have been wonderful But the English are
afraid that this Embassy Ia "a Yankee trick and
they are anxious to give IL q wide berth. In do
lug they are only standing In their own light for the
Ambassadors send to China full reports by every
mall and viii not fail to contrast the English with
the Americans most unfavoraby. But the policy OF
ignoring the Embassy has been deliberately adopted
and the British government will adhere to II until
Mr. Burlingame forces them to take the initiative.
Minister Johnson may make fine speeches at Shelf
field and spend his time In the houses Of English
noblemen and enjoy the batteries lavshed upon him
for his complacency; but before long he must awake

and who must be dealt with sternly and not caress-
ingiy. The English treatment Of this Chinese Em-
bssy ought TO open his eyes In spite OF all the dust
that has been thrown into them since his arrival.
These foreigners are frowned upon simply because
they are friends OF the Americans, Just the Con-
federates fostered because they trying to
divide the United States. An American in England

There have been no new developments In the case,
except letter from Mrs. Borrodaie TO her dear

forward by the HERALD that Madame Rachel In

letters on the plea OF exciting Lord Ranelaghs ea

strongly than at the previous trial.
