ENGLISH POLICY IN CHINA.
yrem th4 London Saturday Rrvine.
Home China correspondence which ban re
cently been issued, while it shows that there
are two sides to tho questions which have
bef n dinensKcd in Parliament, on the whole
fully justifies Lord Clarendon's stringent in
structions. A general monotony, including
much variety of detail, characterize"! the nu
merous quarrels between the inhabitants of
the country and their unwelcome guests.
When a merchant or a iniHionary has con
tracted for the purchase of premises, it
sometimes happens that, with or without the
connivance of the vendor and the local autho
rities, a mob prevents the purchaser from
taking posHcasion of his property. Occa
Bionnlly goods belonging to English
owners are stopped in transit, not
withstanding tho production of all
sl.ionmnntu np A. I.rn.i1r
- pausing near a village is pelted or assaulted by
f natives who are as hostile to straimors as if
they lived in tho midland counties. Tho con
Kulur agent on the spot at once adopts the
cause of his countrymen; and if a gunboat is
within reach ho requests the aid of the oflicer
in command, who is only too happy to find
exercise for tho energies of himself and his
crew. At the outset it would seem that the
Chinese are for the most part in the wrong;
but if the correspondence accurately repre
sents the state of affairs, there is no founda
tion for tho charges which have been made
against the upper classes. The gentry or lite
rary graduates, who were lately denounced
in Parliament, have had little or nothing to
do with the outrages which have furnished an
excuse for retaliation. In the only instance
in which one of their body had instigated
a riot, the culprit, when he was arrested in
compliance with the demands of the Vice
consul, was found to be a half-witted man of
seventy, who was, even in the opinion of his
accusers, scarcely a proper object of punish
ment. The officers of the Government,
although they may probably not be disinclined
to screen delinquents, almost always reply to
tho reclamations of tho Consuls with cour
teous professions and promises; but expe
rience shows that both the mandarins and the
population are the most deferential when a
zealous lieutenant, with a Vice-Consul at his
back, has taken a fort, or fired a few volleys
of musketry among an armed village rabble.
A petition from the inhabitants of a place
called Tang-tun, which had been
punished with lawless severity for
some irregularity of the kind, is touching
in the helplessness which it indicates. The
villagers say that "on the Mhof this month
some children, seeing your great country's
war-boats passing, wero much frightened,
and, runniug away, foolishly excited our
people to attack them: for which the great
army has entered our village and punished us.
AVe repent our fault fully, and, prostrating
ourselves, beg undeserved that mercy may be
shown us, and promise that, men and women,
we will one and all live peaceably and t quietly
for coming generations under your, favor.
Trusting that tho great Consul will hear our
prayers, etc." In this case, which is the worst
recorded in the correspondence, Commodore
Oliver Jones, actingapparently under the orders
of Sir H. Keppel, the commander-in-chief, had
burnt part of a village, and almost destroyed
a town of 70(10 inhabitants, iu consequence of
some shots which had been fired on the boats
of the gunboat Cockchafer. Admiral Keppel
will perhaps hereafter be able to explain a
seeming breach of faith with the Viceroy,
who had undertaken himself to punish the
off enilem, receiving tho promino of tho Admi
ral to abstain from independent action. It is
due to the Consul, Mr. Robertson, to record
his open disapprobation of Commodore Jones'
unfortunate exploit.
In the vast empire of China there are wide
differences of character and civilization.
Some of the collisions reported in the corres
pondence occurred in the island of Formosa,
where an aboriginal population under Chinese
rulers is still so deficient in refinement as to
practise cannibalism. It is not surprising
that in such a country missionaries should be
exposed to inconvenience; and the religious
difficulty is aggravated by quarrols between
English merchants and Chinese traders who
formerly possessed a monopoly of the staple
commodity of camphor. In consequence of
various grievances for which no redress could
be obtained, Mr. Gibson, the Acting Consul,
induced Lieutenant Gurdou to seize a town
and a fort as a security for tho concession
of a string of demands. The opera
tion was effected with laudable skill and
courage; but it is satisfactory to find that the
civil and military officers have been sharply
reprimanded, and that Lord Clarendon had
both removed Mr. Gibson from his post, and
instructed the English ambassador to ex
press his regret to the Chinese Government.
Sir II. Keppel had previously directed the re
turn of a large sum of money which had been
exacted from the local authorities, but in
other respects he approved of Lieutenant
Gnrdon's conduct. It is perhaps desirable
that pugnacity should bo tolerated in sailors;
but the naval commander-in-chief has shown,
on more than one occasion, an imperfect ap
prehension of the rights which belong even
to the Chinese. The English Government,
in concluding the treaty of Tientsin, insisted
on tho residence of an envoy at the Court of
l'ekin, for the express purpose of avoiding
the necessity of collision with the provincial
authorities. It was thought expedient, as
well as just, to support the Imperial Govern
ment by recognizing its paramount right and
duty of enforcing order. When consuls and
naval officers take the law into their own
hands, they furnish the Chinese Government
with unanswerable grounds of complaint. It
is probably true that local action secures
speedier redress, and Sir Rutherford Alcook
expatiates in an elaborate despatch on tho
difficulty of applying European rules of con
duct to dealings with a nation which acknow
ledges a different standard of laws and morals;
yet, on tho whole, it is impossible to justify
systematic violation of the treaty. The Eng
lish Envoy, though he hesitates between
two inconsistent lines of policy, has the
merit of having strongly condemned the
acts of Mr. Gibson and Lieutenant
Gnrdon. Prince Kung addressed to him an
indignant protest, concluding with the intima
tion that he might hereafter be induced to
apply directly, through tho Chinese Ambas
sador, to the English Government. As Sir
Itutherford Alcock remarks, "they are evi
dently making progress in their diplomatio
education;" aud he admits that, if the Minis
ter on the spot will not do the Chinese Gov
ernment justice, "they are perfectly entitled
to refer the matter in question direct by their
own mission to the Home Government, aud
to notify to other Courts the steps taken;"
yet, in this argumentative despatch to Lord
Stanley, Sir It. Alcock expresses a doubt
whether the method of sottliug difficulties by
local action is not preferable. The plan of
direct application to the Central Government
is, he bovs, "more consonant with treaty rela
tions and international law, but it is also more
dumaginjf to tho Emperor's power to govern
the Empire, and inure costly to the foreign
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
i
power resorting to it." According to
his statement, the Imperial Government
is almost always unwilling or unable to cor
rect distant abuses; and he contends that the
local authorities must bo taught to respect
treaty obligations for their own sake, if they
core nothing for treaties or for tho orders of
their own Government." "Experience," ho
adds, "leads infallibly to the conclusion that,
where treaties have been imposed by force on
an unwilling government, as all with China,
they can only be upheld by similar mo:wis."
It is proper to state that Sir Rutherford Al
cock condemns in the strongest language the
action of consuls and naval - officers without
the direct orders of the Minister; Lord
Clarendon has expressed his readiness, to ex
tend the powers of the Minister, if- he re
quires additional facilities for restraining his
subordinates; and it cannot be doubted that
the Admiral will be cautioned against the too
ready indulgence of his professional instincts.
In diplomatic decorum and dignity the chief
statesmen of China stand on a European level.
In his interview with Sir H. Keppel, the Vice
roy of Canton bore himself like a polished
gentleman, while the policy which ho an
nounced was equally prudent and vigorous.
He had, he said, already ordered 4000 troops
to march against the village which had fired
on the man-of-war's boats, and he trusted that
tho operation would have the happiest effect.
In answer to some apologetic languago of Sir
II. Keppel, he remarked that officers would
sometimes make mistakes, and that ho had
found it so with his own. "On taking leave
the Viceroy renewed in the most impressive
manner his expressions of esteem and regard
for Sir II. Keppel, and trusted that on his
next visit to Canton his Excellency would do
him the honor of dining with
him." On the following morning the Vice
roy sent his card, with his farewell wishes, to
tho Admiral. It wos in the course of the same
day that Commodore Jones attacked the vil
lages, in obedience to orders which had per
haps been issued before tho interview. It is
absurd and impossible to treat courtly mag
nates, who argue with the closeness of accom
plished lawyers, as irresponsible barbarians;
but tho laxity of Chinese administration, and
perhaps the latent dislike towards foreigners,
will probably lead to the practical adoption
of Sir Rutherford Alcock's policy. For the
present the experiment of exclusive reliance
on the Imperial Government ought to bo
fully tried; and, if it is necessary
to recur to occasional local pressure,
all the treaty powers should, if
possible, be induced to adopt one common
mode of action. There is, perhaps, no part
of the world in which thu representatives of
the great civilized governments act so mu:?h
in harmony. During one of the consular
combats with the Chinese, an American gun
boat was present, for the purpose of counte
nancing the English demands. Any privilege
which might be withdrawn from any one of
the trading communities would be immedi
ately refused to all foreigners. In the less
civilized parts of the empire it is consolatory
to observe that Protestant and Itoman Catho
lic missionaries are equally liable to persecu
tion. The relations between Europe and
China will ultimately be determined
rather by necessity or convenience than
by deliberate policy. It has apparently not
yet occurred to any Chinese diplomatist to
demand satisfaction for the ill treatment of
the Emperor's subjects in Australia or Cali
fornia. A hundredth part of the injustice
which has been inflicted on harmless and
useful Chinese gold diggers would, if it had
been perpetratetlat the expense of English or
American traders in China, have been long
since avenged wlin tlio aid or lrroMlntlMo gun

The Cuban InsnrKents.
The l'all Mall tfazttte'Ot June 14 says: There
appears to to no doubt that at least one vessel,
equipped with warlike stores for the iusurgeuts
iu Cuba, was allowed to escape from New iork.
The American Government stopped tho Quaker
City, but only after strong reinforcements for
the Rebels had safely departed from the port.
Of course they will compensate Spain for tho
consequences of this negligence ? A correspon
dent of a New York paper sailed with one expe
dition, "ostensibly tor Jamaica." Seeing ttiat
the vessel had on board arms for -5000 men and
ten pieces of artillery, tho authorities must have
wondered what was Iter business at Jamaica. Iu
future, when the exertions of the Government
to stop the Quaker City are boasted of, it would
be well to explain the escape of the vessels
loaded with anus, which scarcely took tho trou
ble to conceal their real destination.
Coiinticiili on our Intention.
The rail Mall Gau ftc of June 14 says: Tho
Americans are aceii.-ed of seeking to convert
th'eir reccutly purchased subjocts iu Alaska to
Protestantism. A Uus.lan priest, nainei Koyrl
iTtiiii, who had been scut to Sitka for tho purpose
of maintaining the orthodox church there, writes
to his countrymen that the cathedral had been
closed by an order of tho commander of tho
American troops, and that all tho natives who
intended to observe Lent had been arrested. It
would be intercsiinir to learn how the American
clergy proceed iu their work of conversion, as
the natives know not. a single word of English,
while the clergymen, in all probability, know no
other language. "
Proposed ( ch .ion of Gibraltar.
The l'all Mall (fnit-Ue says: The possible ces
sion of Gibraltar to Siuln was alluded to by Mr.
Goldwin Smith in ,Jii address at Ithaca oil tho
liltli of May. Is any such plan seriously in con
templation ? We own that at tho timo tho
question was mooted of offering the Spanish
throuo to the Duke of Edinburgh wo had a mis
giving on the subject, remembering that our
gratitude for the civility of tho (J reeks in offer
ing their throne to the same prince led us to
IKirt with the Ionian Islands, and thinking it
niruly impossible that we might be induced to
commit a similar act of detrimental generosity
"for an idea." Rut we. should take warning by
the consequences of our surrender of this
stronghold. We gave away a good depot and
coaling station and the key of the Adriatic,
which enabled us to overawe the factious popu
lations of tho Turkish coast.
Tin' Iiinieiiicnl Council.
Ill reply to the inquiry whether all the bishops
are bound to assist at the (Ecumenical Council,
Cardinal Burnabo, in a letter dated April .HO,
1800, answers: "It is certain, and not to bo
doubted, as appears 1 torn the bull of convoca
tion Itself, that every bishop is bouud to be pre
sent, or, where, he cannot, to appoint an eccle
siastic to represent Mm, explaining at tho same
time the legitimate motives which prevent his
personal attendauec. In casc6 In which particu
lar circumstances will not permit a bishop to
absent himself from his diocese, tho llolv
Father has expressed himself as not averse to
granting a dispensation. It Is, however, neces
sary that the t.Mwp fliould make special ap
plication for dii-peusiiOon to his Holiness him
self." An Fxii'!itlan to I'.gvpt.
