EUROPEANE AND THE INDEMNITY.
The now import duty of 5 per cent, came into force ou Monday, and the European residents are asking rather pertinently why they should have to pay the Chinese indemnity. We have seen and heard a great deal about ambassadors and plenipotentiaries of late, hat if their coly achievement is to raise the prices of every- thing we neol, they would seem to be an ex- pensive luxury.

allowing a portion of the indenuity to be exacted from their own subjects.
