LONDON, September 1.-The London
Times to-day devotes Its leading columns to
an analysis Of the treaty recently concluded
by the United States Government with the
Emperor Of China through the embassy
now visiting America. The Times says
England is more interested in China than
any other Power. Her commerce with that
country is larger, and since the treaty of
Pekin her relations with it's Government
have been more friendly. She assisted the
Imperial authorities in putting down the
Tapping rebellion. England is the proper
Power for China to employ az medium for
revising her treaties with other nations.
But this treaty with the United States, aim
ing to restore the old exclusive policy, has
been rightly entrusted to the manipulation
of foreign counsellors, who advise what is
impossib the restoration of retro
grade system.
The writer then proceeds to dissect, one
by one, the articles of the new treaty. He
calls attention to the fact that China OBJ
tains no concession from the United States /;
but that, on the other hand, the latter gains
a monopoly Of railroad and telegraph i'm
provements. This is q sufficient objection
to the treaty; yet the question may be
asked: "Is it wise for England to multiply
her differences with America on such
grounds as these :" The article concludes
as follows
awe are bound to say with conviction
that there is more underneath these nego-
tiations than appears on their surface.
They bear distinct traces of foreign inspi-
ration. 1t is our belief that this mission
did not originate with the Chinese Govern
ment. The idea of enlisting Mr.. Burlin-
game as recruit for the furthering of
Chinese ends, so far from being sponta-
neous, emanated from a foreign brain, and
was suggested by the departure from China
of the American Minister, which was draw
ing near at the time the plan was formed.
No doubt the proposition was joyfully well
coined by the Ministers of the Chinese En-
pire, who have but one object at heart, and
gave but one instruction to the ambassa-
dors-viz., Stop all progress. AS for the
rest, you have carte blanche-say and do
what you please. This treaty, concocted
by the embassy on their passage from China
to San Francisco, is the result now before
u.s."
PARIS, September 2.--The Nonitev, the
official organ or the government, IN It's

the French army was never greater than at
present.
