QUEBN's HoIEL, Jan. l.-Mr. Burliugame aud
Lord Clarendon, the new British Foreign MIN.
stcr, had an interview to day, when tAey.agreed
upon the principles for the future British policy
to.he adopted TO wards ChlGa.
Lord Clarendon, in reviewing his former
conversations, fully acknowledged the pro-
priety and justice OF the several points which
Mr.. Burlingame had advanced in reference TO
the policy which he deemed desirable tnat Eng
land should pursue.
Mr. Burlingame held that the objects of the
present mission showed evident signs OF pro-
sress, aud by no means eViuced tr1grade
disposition on the part of the Chinese Govern-
meDt. He also deprecated the practice of West
ern powers in using an uufrendly pressure to
introduce new systems and new ideas among
people whose knowledge OF foreign nations was
OF recent origin and who were nurtured under
traditional system to which they were accus-
toned, and attacked because such repressiYe
policy would tend to revolutionize progress,
whereas the Chinese Government fully admitted
the necessity of progress and desired to en-
courage it gradually without sudden shock to

people.
Lord Clarendon, in his reply, fully admitted
that The ChIuess were entitled to forbearance
Fl Iom foreign nations, and assured Mr.. Burliu-
game that England did not desire or intend to
apply any unfricndly pressure in order to
induce China to advance more rapidly in her
intercourse with foreign nations thau was con
sistent with the safety and feelings of the
Chinese people.
The following articles were then agreed to
between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Buringame:-
First. That it was necessary to observe exist
ing treaty stipu!ations.
Second. That all pegotiat ons should be con-
Quoted with the central government, and not
with local authorities.
Third. That before the Inauguration of war
disputes should be referred to the home govern.
ment.
Lord Clarendon has issued instructions to the
| British agents in China to act in accordance
with the spirit AMI with the objects above
explained, and moreover to caution British
subjects to pay due respect not only to the la US
| OF China, but also to respect the usageS and
feelings of the Chinese people.
These points settled, the general principles OF
| the American treaty were discussed.
Lord Clarendon considered them kindly, and
| agreed that they should form the subject for
| future negotiations.
| Having established the basis for the British
| policy, Mr.. Burlngame proceeds to PATS to-

bling of Parliament to conclude details accord.

NAPOLEON.
VIII He Abt1icateT

Paris (Dec. l9) correspondence says
1t may have been noticed Ia America, as here
that The London papers are showing much zsal
for the preservation OF peace between France
and Germany; also that the Prussian pap9rs
have become acrimonious In their leaders o
France. These conflicting tendencies might
have been anticipated by British diplom acy, rs
the surest way to make two nations In verate
enemies is 10 endeavor to reconcile them mop
p0rtunely, and too much zeal In n good cause Is
eQuivalent to passive neutality. For the present,
however, war and discord are out of the ques-
tion. Since the editor OF the P.yS has publicly
communicated possibility that the Emperor
will, after the duties OF the next Legislative
Assembly, abdicate In favor OF his son, retain.
ing only till his death the title Of regent, this
possibility has increased into q certainty and
the anticipated coup a. etat is considered one of
the grapdest conceived by Napoleon III. 1t Is
only thus that the promised liberties can be
carried through, thus only can France become
constitutional. But the question Is, VIII It 4?
viii the Napoleonic dynasty continue old tra-
ditions or inaugurate new ones ? While these
doubts arise respecting the advent OF q new
sovereign, the same doubtful inquiry Is made
into the future of Spain.
