THE EVENING STAR Washington News and Gossip. DEPARTURE OF Ex-ATTORNEY-GENERAL STANBERY.—The above named gentleman left Washington this morning for bis farm and residence near Covington, Kentucky, where he will remain fora shert time. He intends to spend the mam partef the summer in recu- Pperation and leisure, in some mountain retreat. ia company with his wife, and of one of hi sons, whose health needs strengthening. We bear that he cheerfally withdraws from polit:- cal life, and also that it bas, for some time. been the most earnest wish of his family that he should so withdraw, on account of his health domestic comfort, and freedom from mental labor and excitement. We cannot let this gentleman leave the National Capital, without a werd of friendly and respectful parting. Henry Stanbery qnietly, and without announcement, appeared on the stage, abont two years since, as a mem- ber of the Cabinet; has performed an active part in the administration; and has crowned his brief career by taking charge of the Presi- dent's defence, in the late Impeachment trial, the result of which is now matter of history. We will not discuss those points of the trial, concerning which there is yet so much recrimi- uation and hot blood; but as to the personal and official part enacted in that trial by Mr, Stanbery, there can, we think, be but one opinion trom party friend and party foe, and that opinion entirely to his honor, Mr. Stanbery is in many respects aman of what is sometimes called “the old school.” Firm yet gentle; naturally grounded in con- servatism. yet refasing its extremes; a States’ Tights advocate, yet immovably firm for the Union cause: of great dignity and benevolence, and not without personal magnetism. Such, hurriedly itemised, are some of the principal traits of Henry Stanbery. From all that know im well, irrespective of party, he takes with him in his retirement genuine benisons and respect.

At twelve o'clock to-day, Hon.

Me Leary Brown, Mons. de Champs, first and second secretaries, and six mative interpreters, were p d to’ the President by Secretary Seward inthe Blue Room, at the Execative Mansion. The anmouncement that the Embassy would Le presented to-day drew a large crowd of la- dies and gentlemen at the White House, who expected that the presentation would be pub- le, but they were sadly disappointed, ss no one was aliowed in the blue parlor except the members of the Cabinet, (all ut whom were presemt,) and the President's Secretaries. Pre- Yious to the presentation of their credentials, Mr. Burlingame addressed the President as follows: ‘Mr. President: If you had not ready, through the Secretary of State, kindly relieved me from embarrassment, my first duty on the present occasion would be toexplain to you how it is that I,who left this capital seven years ago a Minister of the United States to China have now retarned here a Minister from China to the United States. You will permit me, Ltru: to renew in this formal manner the expressi ot my thanks for the kindness and liberal with which this change of representative character and responsibility on my pan has been allowed by the American people. President, the Imperial Chinese Government having, within the last three years, accepted the laws of nations as they are allowed and practiced by the Western Powers, that Gov- ernment has further concluded, if permitted, to enter into communication, through the cus tomary diplomatic way, with the United Strtes Belg jum, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, North Germany, Prus- sit, Spain, and Sweden. This desire of the Chinese Government, is fully expressed in let- ters addressed to those powers. respectively We are charged at the expense of what might bear the appearance of egotism, to say that there are nine official, ranks im China. By way of showing the greatest pos. sible respect to the Western Powers, the letters to which I refer were committed to the care of myself of the first rank, and to Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen of the second rank, my- self being invested with extraordinary and plenipotentiary functions, and all of us being accredited to you as high’ Ministers aud Eu- voys. We have now the honor to deliver the letter of his Imperial Majesty, which is thus ad- dressed to the President of the United : In doing so we obey a charge given us by the Emperor ot Chins. to assure you of his sincere desire for your personal bealth, honor sud happiness, and for the welfare aud prospe! of the great nation over whom, by the autho! of Heaven, you have been called to preside To which the President replied as follows Your Eecellenct s: States like individusal men have two distinet characters in fields of a t vity, theone domestic, the other soc: 1 4. be true, as I trust it is, that the several po. tical communities of the earth are now more ctively engaged than at any previous period nd meliorating their respective Constitutions and Jaws, it certainly is not less manifest that they gaged im mehiorating and perfecting assistance of international inter. course and commerce. The appearance bere ot this, the first mission trom Chia to the Western Nations. ts, in this respect, not more singular than it is suggestive. During the first eighty years of our indeper dence foreign uations generally evinced h tion, caution, and reserve, not to <a in regard to advances of the United ies, Of late these features have seemed to disappear. There remaims scarcely one civil- ized and arly constituted State with which © not formed relations of cordial friend- ship. So far from seeking to impo-e fetier upon our commerce, as heretotore, near pations pow it, us toestablish free trade. Our national thought, that the American 1. continent and islands are rightfully re- served for the vitumate establishment of independent American States, is no longer anywhere contested. Vigorous and well-established European powers now freely cr de to us for tair equivalents such of their co- lonial postessions in this hemisphere as we flud desirable for strength and commerce. The in- herent right of man to choose aud change dom- tole and allegiance, a principle essential to human progress, is conceded in our recent treaties. These changes, although not less im- portant, are less striking than the extension of our frieudly intercourse with the Uriental nations. ve recently opened reciprocal and equal intercourse with Greece, with the Ottoman Porte, and with Japan. China bay- mg accepted the laws of nations as they are explained in our own approved compilation, how avails herself through your mission of our friendly introduction to the Curistian States ot Europe and America. These events reveal the pleasing fact of a rapid growth of mutual trust and confidence among the nations, result- from a general suspension of the poli war and conquest, and the substitution of « fraternal and benevolent policy im its pls Your excellencies, we have not iailed to appre. acity with which the Chinese Em- responded to this change of pol pire have by the Christian nations. We acknowledge, With pleasure, the cordial and enlighted sdop- lon of that policy by the Western nations act- ing in concert with the United States, especial- ly by Great Britain, France, Russia, North Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and Belgium. I deem it not unworthy of this occasion to bear witness to the merit Of the representative Agents whose common labors at Pekin have culminated in bringing the empire of China so early and so directly into the tumily circle of civilized nations; namely, Prince Kang and Wenshisn, on the part of Chin: Burlingame, on the part of th the lamented Sir Frederick Bruce, on th ish part: Mr Berthemy, on behaif of Franc and Messrs. Balluzeck and Viaugally, on the part of Russia. Reasoning from the harmony which bas thus prevailed hitherto, I feel my. self justified. on this oceasion, n@ only im gi ing you a cordial reception bh Iso in assuring you of a welcome equally cordial by the, several powers to which you are acered- ited. In conclusion, I trust that the intelligent and enlightened Chinese Government and people Will allow me to build upon this day's traus- action an expe m that their great Empire, instead of remaining, as heretofore, merely Passive, will henceforth be induced to take an Active part in the general progress of civiliza tion. ‘There are several lives of navigation be- tween Europe and China; citizens of the Uni- ted States have already constructed a road across the Isthmus of Panama, with a line of steam service across the Pacific ocean. In two or three years more there will be added to these facilities of intercourse the Pacific railroad Across Our our own continent, and a ship canal constructed under French patronage across the lsthmus of Suez. But there will yet remain besides all these, and more important than SH of them, the great work of connecting the Iwo oceans by a ship canal to be constructed Across the Isthmus of Darien. To doubt the feaxibility of such a work would imply an ig- norange of the science and the wealth of the age in®vbich we live. Your important mission Will enable you to contribute largely to the Achievement of that great enterprise. I re. speetiully invite you, therefore, to commend it to the tavor of the United States of Columbia, as well as to the Government of China and the several European States to which you are ac- credited, Customs RecerPts.—The following are the Teceipts for customs duties trom May 25th to 30th, inclusive at, the ports below mentioned:— Boston, $344,031; New York, €2,222,09); Phila. dripbia, $193.09; New Orleans, (May 18th to ‘Sotbh,) @144,7 ‘Total, $2,944,767.
