THE CHINESE MISSION. Senate Com
mittee have determined to report against
making the Chinese mission first class. We
are opening up general commercial inter-
course with China at present, and we think
the committee are wrong. Besides, it must
be recollected that China has a population of
four hundred million Of people, of whom
seventy thousand, it is estimated, slop over
towards our Pacific shores every year, while

PORTO RICO.
Alarming Rumors In Porto RIco-Proclam tion
nj lanYannnH.

OF the Governor.
HAVANA, May THE journals of this city
have recently published the following proca-
nation of the Governor of Porto Rico. II is
in that island:-
SUPERIOR POLITICAL GOVERNMENT.
To the Inhabitants of this Province:-The te-
nacious enemies of your repose disseminate,
with the most mischievous Intention, grave
notice, like to affect public order on one of the
days consecrated to our sacred religion and to
commemorate the sublime mystery of the re-
demption of the human race. The Holy Week
has passed; to the prayers and tears of the
Church and of the faithful have succeeded those
pure and innocent Joys which Easter always
inspires among Christian people, and neither
the lighter shadow of sorrow nor the most insig-
nifcant excess has come to disturb the peace,
truly Octavian in which this island rejoices.
Porto Ricans--Do not give credit to the false
notices which are circulated solely with the OBJ
ect of interrupting mercantile operations,
create fear among the people in the country,
and bring bankruptcy near. Such like rumors
in every country of the world have the unfortu-
nate privilege of disturbing the spirit of alarm
ing weak people, and slowly destroying the
prosperity of localities.
Let those who invent these, in foreign lands
or in the heart of our common country, under
stand that while the government watches over
your families and your fortunes, these paid-for
notices, produced for the purposes of destruc-
ton, will not be converted into acts of alarm.
A strong and vigilant government has taken all
necessary precautions, and you may be solemuly
assured that if your eternal enemies united to
bring the result of the delirious visions of their
be as terrible as the magnitude of the crime,
for tie rich treasures of Spanish clemency are
exhausted.
Inhabitants of this province, be tranquil, and
confide in the patriotism of your Governor.

whole twelve hundred millions taken at this rate
of interest without going outside of Paris.

rity of the States, but were now engaged in
charitable deeds and in such means as would
promote love and the practice of fraternity, and
to maintain unequivocal loyalty.
He then introduced by name the various
delegates, who severally shook hands with the
President. One of them said they would like
| to hear from the President. He replied that
| he was rather at loss for words to express
| his feelings on such an occasion. He how
| ever, expressed his thanks to the delegates for
| their visit.
General Logan said they had detained the
| President long enough, and thanked him in be-
| half of his confederates for the kind manner ia
which he had received them. The delegation
then returned to the Grand Army Hall.

'"The clique movement in gold noticed yesterday
was more marked to-day, and the leading specula-
tors of the street are again enlisted for pull
campaign In the Gold Room. Their operations
based remotely on the declining scale OF cotton eX-
ports which may be looked for in the Interval to the
arrival OF the new crop next September. Meantime
the foreign bankers have advanced the rate OF eX-
change TO within small fraction of the spece-ship
ping point, while the stocks of produce and cotton
liable TO export rise in gold are not so extern
sve as to materially interfere with their plans.
Moreover the situation in France is purposely exag-
gerated into one OF alarm for the future peace OF the
empire, and has produced strong feeling In favor
OF holding gold against the contingencies OF popu-
lar outbreak. Furthermore, the London money
market is working closely as to very likely induce
an advance In the bank rate within the next few
weeks. At home the fear OF a Funding bill this
session is entirely dissipated.

ernment gold to-day. The bids were for total OF
over s. 600, showing the clique movement above

for foreign exchange, the market being almost de-
