The facts which are set forth are already familiar to our-readers; but it is satisfactory that some prominence is being given to them, as the public at home is too apt to lose sight of the true drift of matters in China, especially during the long time which usually elapses, while negotiations concerning them are being conducted.

It is reported that a project will shortly be carried into effect for establishing subsidised line of Spanish steamers to the Philippine Islands. Several ports, amongst which are Barcelona, have petitioned to be made the ports of departure of the new line, but the official decision has not yet been announced.

It may be remembered that at the time of the Franco-German War France had to seek redress of Chins on account of the Tientain massaore, and the translations of the war news from Europe which were made by Chinamen for the benefit of their countrymen were strongly tinged by the political feeling then existing, and this bias would no doubt find its way into a work based upon them.
