The Chinese Gov. ernment is like the master of a school who is held responsible for its collective conduct, but is too weak physically and morally to enforce any respect for his or ders. Upon such conditions thors are but two alternatives: to receive his ex- cusca and say nothing when he fails, of to aid him by force when necessary. Tho former is the course we have pursued in China, and the astute Asiatiq is not so blind as to neglect the door opened to him for evaston, the more so as our mo ral position is useless for arriving at a correct estimate of tacts.
