points they are sensitive to n degree whigh

cannot therefore understand all the terrible
EXAMINATIONS which "hc TAGRisrsr" belches
forth against China and America.
For more than century that great selfish
monopoly, known as the East India Company,
held many exclusive privileges Of trade with
China, which other people and lands did not
enjoy. some thirty years ago, those privi-
leges ceased, and then came, under the dircc.
tion Of the English Government, the opium
dispute, which resulted in this: the Emperor
interdicted all trade between his people and
the English. Since this time, what aivAh.
tages OF trade England or English subjects have
enjoyed have been obtained by violence and
frsud, Upon this point England is sore.
This visit OF the Chinese embassy TO her
Msjesty's Government bids fair TO develop
some things of highly Interesting character

connection with some sOlicltuie.
