At the late conference between Lord Claren-

ment was made, which has been already tele-
graphed, Lord Clarendon, in reviewing his
former conversations, fully acknowledged the
propriety and Justice CT the several points
which Mr.. Burlingame had advanced in refer
enee to the policy which he deemed desirable
that England should pursue.
Mr.. Burlingame held that tho objects of the
present mission showed evident eigns OF pro-
gress, and by no means evinced retromade
disposition on the part of the Chinese Govern
ment Flo also deprecated the practice of
Western Powers in using an unfriendly pres
sure to introduce new systems and new ideas
among people whose knowledge of foreign
nations was OF recent origin, and who were
nurtHed under traditional system to which
they were accustomea, and attacked because
such repressive policy would tend to revolu-
tion and repress progress, whereas the Chinese
Government fully admitted the necessity of
progress and desired to encourage it gradually
without sudden shock to the feelings, pas
sions or prejudices Of the people.
