English merchants at the treaty ports, who all
along have been bitterly hostile to the new po-
Icy represented by the Burlingame Embassy.
All the English papers printed in Shanghai,
Hongkong, and other ports. have been syste-
matte in their denunciation. The whole des-
patch is regarded as a weak invention Of the
enemies Of China and the United States. The
charge that Burlingame was accredited to tri-
butary nations is undoubtedly false transla-
ton from the original Chinese. Both of Bur-
lingame's Secretaries are accomplished Chinese
scholars. Browne was a member of the Amer
lean Embassy, and would not have allowed
himself to be sent to his own Government as to
tributary nation. 1t is not now believed that
Ross Browne will have permission to return
to China.
