that the Emperor, who delegates to Chim a minister taking high rank in the service of his country, should feel indig nant that under the pretence of sending as their representative a foreigner duly accredited to European courts, the Chi-
in-use have endeavoured to obtain a recep tion for native officials of medium rank and of no status whatever. We have reason to believe that had Mr Burling me been despatched as the bonus fide minister bat little objection would have been raised to his reception whatever the political jealousy to which his appoint ment might have given rise. It is the truly Chinese deception about the whole affair which has caused those most ready to hail with delight an apparent stop iu advance, to become disgusted with the whole afair.
