TUEBDAY, FEBRUARY 14 4 ,1860, 1
Some twenty-five years ago, tho first W i er
between the English and the Chinese vas
commenced. As usual in most of her wars
with weak Powers, it is undeniable that Eng
land was in the wrong. Opium, in which ttio
Chinese' indulge to an extent which enervates
and destroys then', was a prohibited artiele`of
importation. In British India, notwithstand
ing, opium was produced in immense quanti
ties for the express purpose of being surrepti
tiously introduced Into China. It was smug
gled in for a number of years, until, att,
the Chinese authorities determined to ab to
the nuisance, and issued very stringent ord re
Awls and demoralizing , and healfikesitro:yi g
h against the farther introduction of the delai
drug. ThwAnglo-Indian Merchants paid o
attention to this renewed prohibition. Who .
upon; the opium iu the Brillahisn4orint b ,
ton wag seized .and ethillictited ; the Briti h
f
trade was suspended ; Canton was blockade ;
Chusan was taken; Commissioner Lin was
degraded ; Commissioner Kishin concluded a
truce and treaty with the British, which the
Emperor rejected; war was renewed; and,
finally, a treaty of peace was concluded In
August, 1848, whereby the trade of China Was
opened to all nations, and the war was ended,
in April, 2847, by the Chinese authorities he
hig compelled to pay to the British merchants
the market-value of the opium which had ben
illegally introduced and most legally selqd
and burnt I
The second war of England with China arose
out of the seizure, In October, 1836, by Chinese
officers, of seamen on board a boat called the
it Arrow," Witch was constructively supposed
to have been under the protection of the British
Rag. England got Franco to join her in makii4
war, on account of tho quarrel which this fair
commenced, and, alter a contest which con
tinued for about eighteen months, the Chinese
bad to submit—the end being that while Eng
land and Franco obtained new Treaties, vi of
armir, the United States and Russia obtained
equally good treaties, without having to go to
war for them. Thus ended the second Chinese
War.
England and Franco insisting that their Am
bassadors should proceed to Pekin to have the
Treaties executed by the Emperor in person,
and the Chinese objecting, English and Frenbh
vessels and soldiers endeavored to force their
way np the Poiho, were unexpectedly re
pulsed, with considerable loss, and had to re
treat rather' more hastily than they had ad
vanced. 'Upon these proceedings, a third
Chinese war appears likely to be commence].
England and France have despatched a power
ful,naval and military armament to China, to
obtain satisfaction for what occurred to their
troops in the passage of the Pella). It is pro
bable that this new contest will be the most
severe of any—first, because England and
France have a real injury to avenge ; next, be
cause their aggressive force is the largest yet
brought by European Poo (Ts against China ;
lastly, because two wars with the "outside
barbarians" have greatly improved the mili
tary ability of China, and the Russians are
more than suspected of having given artillery
and engineers to their old ally, the Imperial
Helnfung, 4( brother of the Snn and Moon,"
and "Master of the Universe."

A suggestion lute been made, In. this coun

France would have accepted it, and there are
no grounds for believing that the Emperor of
China would have hesitated also to avail him.
self of it.
All hope of a peaceful termination to the
dispute in not yet ended. Some dissatisfac
tion exists in England at Lord Palmerston's
basing got up this thiii Chinese War, without
taking the opinion of Parliatneht tipoli Its pro.
priety and necessity. A very great Constitu
tional principle is hero involved—no loss than
the right of Queen Victoria to deolare war, of
her own accord as Sovereign, without asking
tbo advico or commove of her Parliament.
Lord Grey, .'n the first night of the Session
which commenced on January 24th, plainly
put the question thus, after alluding to the
precedents of consulting Parliament establish.
ed by Pitt and Waning :
" It may, perhaps, be said that in the instances
I have quoted Parliament was sitting at the time,
and therefore it was natural that Government
should make a counneuleatlon to it as soon an olr
eumstanoes amee wide', In their opinion, made it
expedient for the country to arm, ,!y lends, I can
really coarsely believe that anybody will pretend
that the mere accident of Parliament being tilting
at the time should make the slightest difference. If
it le proper to make a communication to Parlia
ment It is proper also to Call Parliament together
for the purpose of receiving that communication,
and neither our convenience nor the convenience
of the members of the other House of Parliament
...ought for a moment to be put in competition with
the importance of maintaining a great constitu
tional principle; and as it is in the power of the
Government at any time, with very abort delay, to
call Parliament together, ifit was their duty, while
Parliament was silting, to make such a communi
cation it was
ovallycation, their duty focal' Parliament
together ' fur the purpose of Melvlng it."
There is, to a certain degree, a trick in
Palmerston's manner of plunging into this
third Chineso War. He knows very well that,
once commenced, the honor of the country
will not permit it to fail, from deficiency in
tho muniments of battle. In 1857 Palmer
ston was very nearly driven out of office, by
a Parliamentary vote against tho policy of
his commencing the second Chinese, War.
Ho is personally piqued, therefore, into pro
ceeding farther now. But it is singularly
anomalous that the Primo Minister of England
should be able to plunge his country Into war
w;thout first obtaining the sanction of the
Parliament.
As for this now war, the public sentiment
of England appears clearly expressed in the
following declaration of The Time! newspaper :
"A speedy settlement, and the meet peaceful
settlement consistent with our mittens' honor is
desired by every ono Never had wen war which
created so little enthusiasm. It may almost be
said to have been forgotten before it is begun. The
truth is, wo have hod Asiatio wars enough, and
that ware with China, in particular, neither inflame
the imegluation nor appeal to the self Interest of
the nation. We have been drawn into two succes
sive struggles by tho violence and treachery of a
Me of aeuti-barberiane, whom a civilised nation
is obliged to punish, although the punishment
neither gratifies the one party nor is likely to
reform the other. The exceeding ignorance of
the Chinese baffles US more then the most far
sighted end cunning policy. They know co little
01 European nations and their power that, In
more wantonness, they draw down on their heads
a chastisement which it seems cruel to inflict.
No honor can bo gained in such a war, no advan
tage, except the liberty of trading, and security
from treacherous attacks. lf them can be gained
wi'hout again proceeding to extremities every man
to England will be gratified. The mixed charac
ter of the Cabinet, containing as it does many men
who voted against Lord Palmerston in 1957 on the
former Chinese difficulty, prepares us for the pee.
sage in the royal speech, which hints that an ar
rangement is not imposible. It is in the power of
the Emperor of China even now toavert by timely
concessions the march of an Anglo-French army to
Pekin. Probably some addition to the terms of the ,
treaty of Tiondsin might be demanded if the troops
of the two nations had really made good their foot

more than the fulfilment of the former stipulations
Is desired, and her Majesty speaks significantly of
the moderate demands' which will be made by
the plenipotentiariee, and the prompt acqui
escence' by which the Emperor of China may Ms•
arm our hostility."
The time is not far distant, wo hope, when
disputes between nations may be mottled with
out appealing to war, which has almost had its
day—perhaps, even before that speedy and of

prophecies, the force of argument will be sub.

The'Ltite Henry D. Gilpin.
BULOGIUM Dr Tag HON. YD WARD
On Thursday evening, at a meeting of the Mai
saohusette 'listerfoal Society, Mr. Everett an
nounced to the members the death of Ilenry O.
Esq., of Philadelphia, and spoke substin-
Sally as follows :
At the meeting of the moiety on the 26th of
January, I expressed the apprehenden • that ee
should soon be called to lament the love of a die
tingodshed honorary anecdote, Mr. Gilpin, or Philo ,
delphin, of whose health I had received by tele
graph a very unfavorable gement to the course of
that day. This; melancholy anticipation was real
ised a day or two afterwards. Raving had the
privilege of proposing him, in the course of the
past year, as an associate whose election would do
honor to the Iliatortesti Soolety, and having en
joyed his friendship for many years, I feel It duty
to 'submit to the moiety an appropriate tribute of
respect to his memory.

Its affairs.
lie wee an 'active member and a vice president
of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, and had
explored several branches of local antiquity with
great ateursey. Ile was especially denveraant with
the political history of the United t tette, having
added to a large acquaintance with the public men
of the day the diligent perusal of every standard
work in that department. In all his studies the
grasp of a very retentive memory ISM strengthen
ed by great method in the arrangement sirsd dispo
sition of Ms books and papers.
Mr. Gilpin had formed intimate personal rela
tions with some of the most eminent statesmen of
the day. lie was
t esecially in the confident-a of
the late distinguish jurist. Mr. Livingston, who,
if I mistake not, in preparing his code and the
reports illustrating it, more than once resorted to
Mr. Gilpin's store of professional knowledge, as
soli as to his amply-furnished library. There are
few aubjeota of literary, seientific, or profeseional
inquiry on which important original views might
not be gathered from his conversation or cor
respondence, and few persons, I presume, were
tenre frequently consulted la this way by their
friends.
A sew years ago Mr. Gilpin made an extensive
tour in Europe and Western Asia. No American
within my aequeintance has ever gone abroad bet
ter qualified to travel to advantage, or has returned
with a richer store of personal observation. Ac
quainted beforehand with all that books could
teach of the objects deserving attention. he de
voted to the discriminating Inspection of what is

tution, not merely in matters of general adminis•
tration,but with kindly sympathy with the indirld.

It would be hartilY proper before a public body
to speak of Mr. Gilpin in the teletions of private
life, further than to say that be might be cited as a
model eon, brother, husband, and friend; Ungar
passed in the courtesies which make the charm of
social intercourse, and convert even a passing visit
into 6 substantial enjoyment.
Mr. Gilpin left a handsome fortune. The provi
eions of his will, executed a short time before hie
death, have been made publite, and show that, after
obeying in the amplest manner the impulses of
effection and duty, he contemplated munificent and
permanent endowments of the public, institutions
with which be was connected. The grave has
rarely closed over a character of such great and
varied excellence and his death is a toss not
merely to Philasielphle, but to the whole country.
