Prince Kuna, Chief Secretary of the Chinese Government for Foreign Affairs, bere with replies: I have the honor to acknowledge @ commu- nication from your Excellency, in which you sbow that the drawback certificates for half duty on goods stored for re-export should not be limited to three months—a period much too short—but ought to be extended toa tall year. It appears that the merchants who bring na‘ produce down the Yangtsy Kiang to Shanghai pay full tariff export duty when it leaves its original port, and half duty when to be re-ex- ported toanother port. Sach produce, being duly reported to the customs when the mer- chant wishes to send it out of port, pays half duty; and.if it is within three months he can re- enter it at another port on presentation of the drawback certificate, which is received as valid for the duty. Now, since that in the dispatch under reply | your Excellency observes that the time for | three months allowed in the drawback certifi. cates, during which this produce must be re- exported, must be regarded as much too short, I bave extended the limittoa year. Therefore. after this date, whenever produce, orought down the Yangtsy to Shanghai, has been re- ported to the customs for re-exportation at any time within a year, they shall, on ascertaining that the goods are in their original packages, neither broken open nor abstracted from, and their number and weight correct, and all par- ticulars tally with the original report, grant a drawback certificate for half duty to be substi- tuted for the former certtficate, and delivered to the holder of the goods as evidence of the duty baying been paid. Ishall inform the Superintendent of Com. merce respecting this regulation, and instrac: him to send orders to the customs’ officers for them to act accordingly; and I now likewise send this reply to your Excellency, requesting that you will inform yourself upon the whole subject.

This morning, at ten o'clock, an interview took place in the East Room of the Presidential Mansion between the Pre-ident and a delega- tion of over .eventy mén, repre-enting the rad. ical emencipationists of Missouri and Kansas. No oné was present except the President and his private xccretaries end the members of the “delegation. The lat‘er, ‘through their ‘chatr-" man, Mr. Charles D. Drake, presented an ad- drevs to tte President, setting forth the griev- ances of the “Joyal people of Missouri and Kanscs.” The addre:s states that the delega- tion was appointed ata mass convention held at Jefferson City on the 1st day of September, ‘The delegation claims to represent a farge majority of the people of Missouri, and a still Jarger majority ot its lawful voters. The address says that the people of Missouri ere cminently leyal, and that the majority of them have never wavered in their allegiance to the Government. The radical Union men of Missouri, they say, however, recognise slavery as the one whole cause of the rebellion, and demand its removal —not .gradually, bat immediately. ~* She hes exidently been fitted out in England They hold the tnstitntion itself, more than the men interested in it, responsible for all the evils of past years. They rejoice atthe emancipatioe proclama- tion of Jan. 1, 1863#and hold that the death | blow of the rebellion was given from its issue. They oppose the party in Missouri denomi- nated “ Conservative,” and allege that that party is composed of all disloyal men in the State. They charge that all of Governor Gamble’s ecis areof a pro-slavery character, and that be desires to save slavery, and that he has never yet pnblicly approved of the proclama- tion of January Ist, 16v3, or the arming of ne- groes. They also allege that «he and his particans used their influence to procure the removal of acommanding general of the Department of the Missouri, whose only offense, so far a- known, WAs & just severity towards rebe's ard their aiders and abettors.” The attention of the President is also called ty the manner of the enrollment of the Mis- souri militia, and the delegation demand that the State of Missouri is entitled to proiectioa from the national arms; and that she should not be obliged wholly to protect herself frova her own resources of men and money, and they therefore ask the discharge of tie en- rolled militia from any further service merely at the arbitrary will of Goy. Gamble. They ask also that Gen. Schofield beremoyved from the command of the Department, and that «a, Department Commander be assigned to the Department ot the Missouri, whose sympatbics will be with Missouri’s loyal and suffering people, and not with slavery and pro-slavery men.” Gen. Schofield’s policy, they allege, has been shaped in nccordance with that of Governor Gamble. The delegation therefore ask that Gen. B. F. Batler may be sent to replace Gen. Schofield; and they express the belief that hi= presence there would restore order and peice to Missouri in less than sixty days. The President, without making a formal reply to the address, proceeded, it is understood, in conyersational style to unfold his views upon the points with a clear, statesman-like grasp 0° the subject in all its bearings that showed that he had givenit much earnest and conscientious thought, and has been actuated in this course soleby by the desire to adopt tae most effectual and judicious measures to put down the rebel- lion; and though he may have not indicated a disposition to go with the delegation to the full extent of their wishes, they must have been im- pressed with the patriotic singleness of pur- pose that animated him in the expression of his opinions. The President, it is reported, reserved his de- cision upon the specific requests mada by tho delegation. OPERATIONS AGAINST THE GUERRILLAS, Captain Mcans, of the Independent Rangers, ‘was on a big scout last week. They left their camp near Leesburg, and skirmished towards Strasburg 2nd Winchester, and returned by way of Millwood and Berryville. As they were crossing the Blue Ridge at Snicker’s Gap, they meta force of 115 of Mose- by’s men under command of a Lieutenant, and after a pretty hard fight, routed the whole party, capturing nineteen men. These men who were captured say that Moseby was bad- ly wounded several weeks ago, and that his leg was taken off. Capt. Means reports the Shenandoah valley now clear of rebels, except small squads, which cannot do much harm, The revel guerrilla Major White, left with his force last Thursday night a week, with vhe apparent intention ox adjoining the main body of the rebel army. Gen. Lockwoed is making every exertion to clear out the mountains of Virginia of gacrril- les. He allows the rangers under his com- mand to roam about in small squads, and find out rebel guerrilla Camps and disperse them. Capt. Means’ force has been increased from 100 to 400 me: ‘ SENTENCES APPROVED. “sActing Military Governor Sherburne has @pproved the sentence of the court-martial in the cece of 2d Lieut, Robert Hunt of the2d D.

Officer Lynch went to the station-house, put off his uniform, and as a citizen fell into tbe burglar’s company. Lynch was not long in making the stranger believe that he also was. a burglar, and the stranger proposed to take bimasachummy, to which Lynch acceded. They went around to various stores, and the stranger showed Lynch how easily he could “crack either of those cribs.” They entsred one, ashop cope by M. Connor, on New Jersey avenue, near E street. Thepro tempore “‘cracks- man” followed his leader; but his knees were very shaky, and as his Jeader passed round tapping the boxes, every footfall sounded to him like the report of a cannon.
