Shanghai for active measures against the Tipings gave the foreign Ministers, in the #cond year of their residence in Peking, a further pccasion for playing a high game with the Imperial Government, which, however, they again passed by, preferring to leave the initiative to their naval and military officers on the spot, and to trust the shaping of the future relations of China to the exigencies which their anomalous military operations might create. The respon sibility for the negotiations which brought Gordon on the scene and restored the authority of the government in Kiangnan and Chekiang devolved chiefly on one sturdy and fearless man, Admiral Hope, who, as he always thank ully acknowledged, was most loyally sup ported by his French colleague, "Admiral Pratet. | The influence of the foreigners who took part in the suppression of the rebellion was thus local in its character and consequently transient, full advantage not being taken of the state of affairs to place the diplomatic position of the Central Government on a clear and satisfactory footing, Nevertheless, the genius of Gordon and of Giquel, and the exertions of their numerous comrades in arms, were not expended in vain, and among the evidences of the deep impression which foreign science had made on the Chinese official mind may be mentioned the establishment of Arsenals at the principal ports, which quickly followed the suppression of the rebellion, and which were organised by Macartney, Giquel, and other foreigners,

Ard although the precious opportunity of placing the government once for all in its proper relation to foreign States was in the main neglected, the fact remains that a strong, if temporary personal influence over the Chinese Batesmen of the day was established by the irst foreigners in Peking, which, as far as it went, served to tide the government over the critical period of the infancy of its foreign diplomacy. There were at that time, during the last twelve months of the Emperor Hien- feng's reign, and the long minority of his son and successor, Tung-che, statesmen who could feally be spoken with as man to man, and busi- ness could be transacted on a basis of mutual respect. Several causes might be assigned for the non-continuance of this promising state affairs, but the only one which we need notice on the present occasion is the division of interest and of aim which became conspicuous as the number of foreign legations increased. From the time the various Ministers began to find a pleasure in thwarting each other's policy the Chinese began to perceive that their native tactics divide et impera would place the diplomatic body at their mercy, and the moral influence of the foreigners necessarily declined, except so far as they were made a convenience of to furnish information arid argu- ments to be used against their colleagues; Events during the thirty years have given a temporary power of moulding the government

And, as is well known, the diplomatic rioneers of China were little more than emissaries from the Customs. The mission of Pin to Europe, nursed by Mestrs. B wia and Deschamps, has been laughed at on account of the low rank and unauthoritative character of the envoy, as it is the world's way to sneer of the small beginnings of every enterprise whatever.. 'Pin fu'filled bis role, however, and on his return to Peking was at least able to assure the untravelled and fearful denizens of the capital that the outer world was not peopled with gorgons and-hydras and chimeras dire;”—the first lesson. To pass to the wonderful diplomalis venture. the Burlingame mission of 1867-8, which was parented on one side at least by the Inspectorate General, mission which was remarkably open to criticism and was freely criticised, it had the merit of success, which indeed was the real ground of the attacks made upon it. The persuasion of Mr. Burlingame. whether based on truth or not, induced the British Government to make a complete change in its Chinese policy, which was not inaptly called the gunboat policy, or as Mr. Burlingame, RACE JACKETS, In his nervous diction, termed it, the "throat policy." In plain language, the system was one of local treatment of local sores as dis- tinguished from the constitutional, which was the orthodox treatment, The Consuls, who were the administrators of the former system, found their power suddenly withdrawn, and the gunboats RACING BOOTS, were thenceforth as quiet as muzzled dogs. The dethronement of the Consuls took place when, to outward seeming, they were in the zenith of their power. Medhurst at Yangchow, Alabaster at Chao-chou Fu, and Gibson in Formosa had just achieved successer which demonstrated the com- plete success of the gunboat policy, when the whole system was incontinently topoled off its pedestal by the elequence of Mr. Burlingame. How far the constitutional treatment at the capital is an improvement on the local treatment at the ports is not, however, our present subject. which is influence, and not the particular use to which it has been applied.
