the chain of future operations has to be laid down and to be dragged into the unaccustomed paths of the interior. Even now it seems that considerablo obstruction to our trade has arisen in the long ugeð port of Canton, where, it was to be presumed, that from habit and eatab ished connections, we should have re-entered at once, after the restoration of amity, into all our former commercial relations. The populace in this ancient focus of our Chinese commerce, now, it seems, are inimical to the re- newal of our former intimacy. This manifestation of popular hostility may be an ebullition of momen tary excitement; but it may, at all events, serve to warn us how precarious is our commercial hold on this singular people. It may be assumed, wo with, that the Chinese do not covet intercourse with the nations of Europe; like shy children, they require to be coaxed and humoured.
