the whole of this evil to the war and ignored altogether the chief cause of the trouble which was their own corrupt, and arbitrary government. In this, there is an exact parallel between China at that time and Russin in the present day. Nothing

can form a better ket of solidarity or other Wie a nation at a given period than a war, and nord especially a war which is unsuccessful. If a nation is in a healthy in- TO terual sinta, the effect of external trouble is to draw it more closely together than it was before; but where serious discontent exists, a disruptio a of a more or lese serious character is certain to ensue. Ching, it is notorious, has been in a chronic state of DISPENSARY discontent, unfortunately with too much reason, for a long time; and there can be very little question that the stamin which would be placed upon her, should she ever attempt serious hostilities with ay nation, would be more than the country would bear.

Of this fact no. one is better aware than the Chinese authorities themselves. They are far too shrewd not to have taken warn-

ing by the lessons of the past; and they are quite aware of the danger of internal disorder which hostilities with a foreign Bation would bring about. In fact, there is probably no nation which has less real cohesion than Chine; and the dread of disturbances which way be beyond the power of the central authority to subdue is constantly before the official mind, and is indeed the secret of much of their vacillation and weakness. It is in all cases extremely difficult to awaken anything, like a true national feeling in China. The rule is

A quarrel between the central Government at Palang and a given power is not necessarily regarded as ope between, say, the Canton Province and the sune nation-and, a high authority such as the Viceroy of the Two Kwang would not con-- sider it out of the way to take his own course in such a matter, though he might still perfunctorily obey the orders from Peking with regard to it.
