OF Future Success-The Burlingame Policy
Rumors Regarding the Recent Riots.
PARIS, June 81, 1869.
In former letter spoke OF Mr.. Burlingame as
packing up for Berlin, his next destination His tour
over the rest OF Europe will be nothing else than
iriumphal march. Everywhere his arrival Is looked
for with eagerness, II not impaence, and at every
court he will meet with the utmost readiness grant
ing him all the privileges already conceded to him in
the countries ne has visited. The only difficulties he
had fear for the objects OF his mission were all con-
celtrated in England. For many years the CONNER
cia enterprise OF these energetic people had fastened
on China as splendid placer, which only required
industrious working TO yield pronts as large Ak had
been extracted In the past from their Indian possess
sions. The home government, with the same sa-
gacty displayed through all their colonial career,
heartily encouraged these patriotic efforts, and gun
boats and missionaries have been wanting TO pro-
mote the cause OF English civilization In China.
France and Russia understood the little game but
instead OF checking 1t thought 1t their interest
simply to Join in, and poor John Chinaman was on
the nigh road to civilization and spoaton. Already
the renowned Wall OF China that for so many centu-
ries had grinned defiance at the "outslde barba-
rlan was preached, and the representatives OF the
aforesaid Powers were installed In comfort and
safety IN the sacred capital OF the empire The end
OF all this and at no vsry distant day would have
been the parceng out OF all the best sections OF
China among the nations in question, just as had
been already done In the case Of poor Poland, and
just as would happen again tomorrow in the of
the famous "sick man" OF Turkey II the three cor
morans in question could only agree in their dis
section OF the victim. Things had arrived at this
pleasant pass in China, when new figure appeared
on the scene and changed the apparent destiny Of
China. Mr.. Burlingame, the American Envoy, was
not long considering what was going on, and COM
pretended at once that our policy In the East was
utterly opposed TO the views entertained by the Eu-
ropean Powers. Avoiding the double error OF
plant compliance and OF obstinate resistance, he
set 10 work with equal ability and tact to convince
his diplomatic colleagues that all the advantages to
be obtained from the trade and commerce OF China
would be best achieved by the cordial cooperation OF
all the civilized Powers, and that difficulties and COM
plicatons of the grayest kind would avoided
BY leaving the integrity OF the Chinese empire unim
paired. Conciatory, jealous and persistent, the
American Minister finally succeeded in getting his
cooperative policy taken into consideration by his
associates, and the late Sir Frederick Bruce the
English Minister gave him his hearty adhesion
how long IL would have taken before the Burn
game policy got the sanction OF the Western Powers
u IL hard TO say, but the Chinese government lost no
ome IN cuItiyatng the most cordial relations with
