RECEPTION OF THE CHINESE AMBASSADORS.
PARIS, JAM 2.-The Chinese Embassy to-day had
an audience with the Emperor Napoleon. They pro-
ceeded to the Palace of the Tuileries where they
were received with the courtesies usually extended
to diplomatic representatives Of high rank, but
without military honors, and were ushered into the
presence of the Emperor. The latter was accompa-
MED by the Prince Imperial and by the Marquis dc
la Yallette, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr.
Burlingame addressing the Emperor, said he hoped
France would receive China as a sister France had
hitherto enjoyed all the privileges accorded by
China to the European Powers. China now took
upon herself the duties of civilization and of inter
national courtesy. The Emperor in reply expressed
his satisfaction at seeing China take such great
STEP and said he would be pleased to cooperate with
her representatives. He referred to the COM
mercial advantages likely to arise from
closer relations, and concluded with gen.
eral congatulaton. All the members of the
Embassy were pleased with their reception.
When tho Marquis de la Vallette personally intro
duced Mr.. Burlingame, the Emperor expressed his
astonshment at finding an American acting as an
ambassador of China, TO which Mr.. Burlngame re-
piled IN happy manner, and along conversation en-
sued between the Emperor and the Chief Embassa-
dor. Messrs. Brown and Deschamps, the Secretaries
of Legation, were then presented to the Emperor
after which Mr. Brown formally laid in the hands Of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs the credentials
of the ambassadors from the Emperor
of China. When this ceremony had been performed
the interview terminated. The ambassadors were
subsequently received by the Empress Eugene,
when Mr.. Burlingame took occasion TO convey the
fecitauons of the Emperor of China to Her Ma
jesty and 10 the Imperial family.
