here to-day, speaking on the fefects of wa,
between China and France would have or

with foreign interests that to blockade these
ports would be to effect foreign interest.
to such an extent that the French would
hardly dare attempt it. The principal mai
port of China is Hong Kong, and to block
ade the river to Canton would necessarily
cut off Hong Kong from foreign inter
would likely get their country into quar-
rel with England and the United States
as well as other nations, by blockadin:
this port, for by so doing they shut out tn,
greater portion of trade. He believed that
before the war could reach such a stag
other nations affected would put an end t,
the strife. Several merchants were inter
ested, and before general war could TAX
place it would be necessary to give ninety
days notice to foreign nations, during which
time the United States would get out al
the teas and silks required for year, ant
although it would cause rise in teas ant
silks no actual scarcity would be felt fo
that length of time. The United State
could also export to China large quantities
of American products.
