These are difficulties which of course might, he get over, but it could only be done at extra cost and risk, and they all go in favour of the view we hold, that a declaration of war is no more likely to come from France than from China..

But in any case, even should war from some quarter now undiscernable super- vene, we do not think there is any cause for the gloomy apprehensions of stop- page to trade, Nud ruin and disaster which find expression in some home. papers. To begin with, we have the experience of the years 1858-60, when both England and Fronce were at war with China, Not only was there. no stoppage of trade, but there was positively a large incremse in our jui- posts. And the conditions of trade now are very rouch what they were. thon. It is out of the question to sup pose that France could oskade all the coest of China, or that she would wish to do so even if she could. A blockade. is only one of many means adopted with a common view of crippling or Lampering an enemy.
