The Chinese treaties.
New York, April 3Oth-A M.-Dispatches
from Washington say the prospect of the
treaties being considered soon by the Senate
in executive session gives rise to considerable
comment thereon. 1t is understood that the
Boston merchants will bring heavy influence
to bear on the New England Senators in
opposition to the clause of the treaty
prohibiting the opium trade by vessels
under the American flag. People OF broader
views recognize the advance to be gained by
the consummation of the treaties. The loss
to few marine merchants will be compare
lively insignificant. Besides the prestige to
be gained by the accruing utilization with
China, that empire will never forget the
opium war with England, and the country
who first consummates satisfactory treaty
on this question will reap untold benefits in
other branches of commerce.
