We re- Published the last-recetved onslaught of the Times upon Mr. R., by way of showing the Star’s readers how the English hornet essayed to sting him, and, through him, American in- terests in China, generally; and below we in- sert 2 brief article in his. defence, from the New York Journal of Commerce, which goes far towards the complete exposure of the fact that chagrin and a desire for revenge are the deli- cate sentiments now actuating the press of England in the intensity of its fary in this matter; Tre U.S. Ministee to Cuixa.—The London Times has recently devoted two leading articies to violent abuse of the conduct and motives of Mr Reed, the representative of this country in China. Untilsome better and more reliable proof is brought forward than the mere assertion of “the leading journal” of London, and its “ own correspondents”* at Tien-sin,we believe we speak the seatiments of the American people when we say that so far from pene <aything in the offt- cial conduct of Mr. Reed which would make him obnoxious to the oharaes brought against him by the times, he bas c: ucted a delicate, responsi- ble.and dificult negotiation with marked ability, sound common sense, unswerving devotion tothe interests of his country, and tmplicit obedience to the letter and spirit of the instructions of his Government. It is perfectly true that Mr. Reed did not espouse the quarrels of France and Eng- land with China; that he carefully preserved t distinction between his position as the Ambussa- dor of a friendly Power seeking and desiring nothing but the promotion and security of she commercial interests of his country, and that of Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, who were demand- ing redress for alleged yrievanc ind indematty for alleged losses, and who were making their de- mands at the point of the bayonet eal the can- non’s mouth. Prudence, justice, the traditional policy of the United States, forbade Mr. Reed to join “the armed Congress’ which the ‘Times proposed, or to agree to any course of action in concert with Lord Elgin and Baron Gros which could even remotely involve this country in the war against China, or imply an official endorsement by the United States of the justice or necessity of the proceedings of the Governments of France and Great Britain. By bis decided trality, Mr. Reed obtained considerable intidence over the Chinese Government and people; ulthough looked on as a barbarian, he was not regarded as a ‘foreign devil,’’ and theie is no doubt that the exercise of this influence in the interest of com- merce, peace, and civilization, tended largely to induce the Chinese to make the liberal and equit able concessions which they have made to the great maritime powers in tue treaties of ‘Tien-sin. T don Times would probably have con- descended to approve the couduct of the United States Minister, had he from the first ‘said ditto”? to Lord Elgin, and consented to say and do, and leave @nsaid and undone, all that bis lordship might direct. But because he has worthily main- tained the dignity and iudepeadence of bis country, scrupulously avoided + entangling alli- ances,’’ obtained solid commercial ad’ antages for the United States, and laid the foundation of friendly intercourse between the two countries, without the assistance of Lord Elgin or Baron Gros, he bas been gulity, in the estimation of the Times, of a very high crime, for which the thur- derer denounces bim in its own peculiar ¢ Sir-Oracle’’ style. England and France ma: have been perfectly justified in the course whic! they pursued ayainst China. The bomba:dment of Canton by Sir Michael Seymour, on account of the locha Arrow affair. the capture of that city, and the destruction of the Peiho forts, may be justifiable on every pound of pete raid and public law. But surely the ‘nited States had no cause to take partineny of tue above mentioned achievements. We had no wrongs to right, and no insults to avenge. We bad only to look after our own interests as one of the greatest commercial nations in the world, and to promote peace as far as we could consist- ently with our neutral position. This we have done by the wisdom of Mr. Reed; and though the London Times may be very indignant at his independence, impugn his motives, and assail bis integrity, we apprehend that the American people will approve bis successful discharge of his mission, and that Mr. Reed, content with the approbation of his country, will not be much troubled at the assaults of the Times. Tag Ixpiaxs 1x Wasnixaton Territory. Gov. Stevens, the delegate to Congress from Washington Territory, contemplates urging on the Secretary of War the necessity of the re- tention in that Territory of s portion of the troops recently engaged there in quelling the Indian hostilities. He thinks that at least four regiments are essential to be kept there, in order that the Government may maintain the advantages over the unfriendly Indians which have been gained through the energetic movements of Gen. Clark and Col. Wright. One of the most influential chiefs belonging to the hostile tribes—Camaikin—has not yet been brought to terms, and Gov. S. belicves that on the withdrawal of the troops, this man will gather a horde of those about him who enter- tain unfriendly sentiments towards the whites, .and engage in marauding expeditions against the settlements. The retention of the troops will have the offect of keeping these bands quiet. Gov. 8. is sanguine that there will be a large influx of settlers into the Territory, in ease such measures are adopted as shall leave no room for apprehensions of another outbreak among the Indians. The statement that Gen. Harney has been recalled from the command of the Department of the Pacific, North, embracing this Territory and Oregon, and ordered to the command of the Department of the West, with his head- quarters at St. Louis, is apparently unfounded. Revarions with Perv.—The State Depart- went is in receipt of a petition, numerously sigued, praying the Government to adopt meas- ures for obtuining indemnity from Peru for the outrages perpetrated by the officers of that Gov- ernment against the American vessels ‘‘Geor- giapa’’ and “ Lizzie Thompson,’’ and the ar- rest and maltreatment of their officers and crews; and, also, to act with 2 view to prevent the recurrence of similar proceedings. The subject had, however, previously ocoupied the attention of this Government; and our Minister resident at Peru, together with the United States consul where the affair had occurred, had been directed to institute an investigation of the circumstances, and report at an early day. Aruy OrpEers.—Brevet Major Van Dorn, who commanded the expedition against the Camanches, which recently encountered and defeated the hostile bands near the Wachita village, has just published an order highly complimentary to those his com- mand, and congratalating them on the partial success of the expedition. He exhorts them to soconduet themselves during their continuance in the field, that the future shall bring no dis- approving recollection of their campaign. Ser geant J. W. Spangler, of company H, second cavalry, is especially mentioned, for his cool courage, daring intrepidity, and gallant bear- ing throughout the whole engagement, together with his skill and fortune in having killed six of the enemy in personal combat. Pervvias Guaso.—The Washington corres- Pondent of the New York Hera/d says, in recent dispatch : e “It is stated here that a great effort will be made during the coming Bol Si of Congress to break up the ‘nt xystem of the Government of Peru in selling ahe guano of the Chincha islands, | Sach a result is much to be desised, for the enor- oft a Inpiax Wans.—The officers of the Indian Baresn contend that all the recent Indian wars have been with tribes with. we have not made treaties.

We mention the fact, because we have heard it surmised that Mr. Hunter is to be in some way or other involved with the change of the location of the Sonth from Richmond to Wash-~ ington, which is thus disclaimed by the South, and disproved. Swamp Laxps vs. Raitnodp Grants.—At- torney General Black, at the request of the Secretary of the Interior that he would give his opinion on the subject, has decided that the swamp-land grant made to Arkansas by the act of Sept. 28, 1850, establishes the right of the State to all swamp lands within its limits; and that the vesting of the title was completed by the act, though patents had not been issued, and that the subsequent grant by act of Feb. 9, 1853, for railroad purposes, so far as it inter- fered with swamp-land grants, is invalid In other words, he holds that the railroad grant is not good on any swamp-land grant; a most im- portant decision, indeed. Tae Fittvsrers.—Tho State Department has replied to the inquiry of the Collector at the port of Mobile, as to whether he shall grant 8 clearance to the vessel which proposes to sail from that port with emigrants for Nicaragua ; but the tenor of the answer has not been made public here. It is certain, however, that the Federal officers in Mobile are instructed to use every exertion to prevent any infraction of the neutrality laws.

Chauncey Brooks, Esq , presided; and there was a full board in attendance. “The secretary read a letter from Henry J. Rey- nolds, Esq , president of the board of public works, certifying the election of George W. Rob- inson as a director on the part of the State, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Dr. Tyler. Mr Wo, E.
