Wituia tiat time a new commission arrived, the Governor-General of the Proviace of Chili, ons of the highest officers of the empire, who sunouaced himself as Imperial Commissiover in conjucction with those previously sent, and as avthorizad (these were the worde of bis letter) “to meet their Excellencies, the Hovorsble Foreign’ Miuisters, and seriously deli berate with them converting the affairs mentioned in the letters of their several natious.”? The first no Was bot received owing (0 a derogatory iuformality in the adders, A second note was then writtea by the Chi nese and received, being b:cught to me in a boat from the Audacieuse, where Baron Gros and Lora Elgin were in conference, and accompanied by the exhibitioa of UL cards, Ibad every reason to suppose taat the Governor General’s letter was satisfactory to the allies ax it was to ms.

Taonguaca ligbtenea, butacting under # clear senge of duty, I laaded at the forts, and baa two interviems wi'h the Imperial coa- missioners, They were ia a great measure formal, but i rome respects they were for might have been significant, ‘That toeir powers were hmited, aad that any treaty iv the aggregate was to be referred to Peking for approval, I found to be true; and yet I have little doubt that it [ had not been restrained by a eeuse of what was due to others —vnder Tan’s powersa treaty, withevery variety of most favored clauses, might have been made, which would have been ratified in forty eight hours, But to have done 80 here would have been uniair to those with whom [ d sired to act in good faith; and at nove of the interviews | was the idea seriously entertained by me. They were im- proved, as I thought, by earnestly impresaing on the Cni- bese the neceesity ‘of yielding to all the preliminary de- menos of the belligerents, the certainty defeat if they continued te resiat, the moderation and reasonableness of what [ then understood were the ulterior demands; ia short, every persuasion and urgency was reso-ted to to attain the very ends which all had in view. The details of these wterviews were regularly communicated to Lort Elgiy ano Baron Grog, and, I am happy to believe, were properly estimated ; for, auother term of six days having expired oa the 19th of May, when the allies determined to summon and take the forts, tho Earl of Elgin wrote to me— ‘I peed not recapitulate the history of our endeavors to be satistied with Tau’s powers, as you are already fa- nuifar with it; Dutl canuot refrain from expressing ny ackhvowledgments to you for the exertions you have mate to bring the Chinese authorities to more reasonable senti- Op the 20h May the Taku forte were eum moned apd taken by astauls, and the way to tha capital at last seemed to De opened.

Powers were concerned, were shrouded in no mystery. While cer. tainly there was no extreme confidence on the part of the | belligerent plevipotentiaries towards ua, there was, on | my part at least, no reserve as to what [ was doing or expected to accomplish. The draft of such a treaty a3 [ desired, or ratber ag ] thought practicable, was sent to Lerd kigin and Baron Gros before we entered tho river, Ergin’s not til some time after,fat Teimtsin. In one par’ cular 1 altered my draft,incompliznce with an earnes! wish | expressed by Lord Elgin. The cetaila of each formal iter w with the Commissionera were duly interchanged, and there was not a word of conference between the Cainese avd me at any time, or with any object, that was kept se- cret or withbeld. Oa the other hand (and I must not be understood ag complaining @f it), for some reasona—doubt- legs adequate, what course of coaduct, or policy, or nego- tiation the belligerents were pursuing—was not told to us All that we kuew we learned froin the Chinese offi sials, and on their revelations, never encouraged, we could not depend; and I here reiterate the affirmation, that whea we were thus made the depositories of eecrets we had no Wwitu to learn from them, no word ever passed my lips, ‘pt im the way of persuasion, to yield to the demands of Ube allies, ‘The fact that at an eariy stage of the negotia- tiope & letter was written by the Imperial Commissioners, promising tomase the required concessions, was never known by me til) months afterwards! read it ia the columns of the newspapers. The dark shadow of suspicion of Russian proclivity wes between us. 1 lamented it then, 1 jament it vow; for, but for that, Ihave overy reason to | think a much jess reservet policy would have been pur. sued, Even ag it was, I don’t permit mysolf to doubt that, had [es the representative of the United States, beea content to bave placed myself at Lord Eigin’s disposal, 10 bave remained insignificantly silent and pssaive till his work was done, he would have aided me, by retaining lis forces there, to get a treaty identical in terms to his, aud thus have bad tue honor of making a treaty for America ag Well as for Eugland, But it required but a smail amouat of self-respect und regard for the dignity of my country to exclude such au idea utterly from my mind. Saut out (hus from the counsels and the confidence of those with whom We suppored we were invited to co-operate, we ha: but ope course open to us, which Was to go on quietly with Our Separate negociations as dest we might, aud not interfere one way or the other, with those of other: This we did, and,on the 15th and 18th of Juue respec: tively, without an unkind word or thought, by a course of fricndly conference, either directly or through deputies appointed on cach sido, that was Inost creditable to the | Chicese, the Russian and American treaties were signed. There was another reagon for signing these treaties in ad- vance, or rather whenever they happened to be ready, which it is due to candor I should state. There was more than one moment during the sojourn at Teintsin when it seemed to us, and I suspect to che allies, there wag no little danger of a rupture between the Chinese and the English aod lrench, cf tbe war being renewed, and of their trea- es being indefinitely postponed. Had that occurred, and such lingering hostitiues been instituted between Teintsin and the capital as must have followed, I have no hesita- tion in saying, that in conformity with’ my instructions, my own utter disguet of this atrife of the strong with the weak,I should have retired from the scene. That such a danger at times existed I then believed and still believe, and Ican imagine nothing more discreditable to | the parties who might have precipitated the contest, than such a war ip the aorth, originating from such causes. «i the Imperial Commissioners, in despair at what Beewed to them the exhorbitant demands of the allies tled fcom Teintain; had the fmperor, a8 was surmised might be the case, abandoned his capital and retired to Tartary; bad the military or diplomatic necessity oxisted for ihe allies, without cavalry, artillery or commissariat, either to occupy Teintsin till reinforcements should arrive (Inia yet in mutiny), or to advance on Peking; had any or all these resulta occurred, a heavy responsibility, in comparitou with which the lorcha Arrow hostilities were nothing, would have rested on those through whom the evil came. It was the sense of this possible danger that never ceased to operate on my mind, and made it perfectly clear to me, that my public duty required ine to accelerate as much as possi- | ble the signature of my treaty. No one 1s more sincerely grately than Jam that this danger was averted, and that the Chinese commissioners never resorted to the expe- dients of fight or resistance, Of thesAmerican treaty, eigned on the 18th of June, I am glad to have a chance of speaking. It has been adopted and ratified by my go- Verpment, and, with itsprivileges and ite restraints, is now the law of both lands. Its provisions regulating the public correspondence of the two nations, and requiring | the deposit of the treaty at Peking, and an official pro- @ulgation, put an end forever to that delegation of duty witn reference to foreiguers to distant proviaces and sub- ordinate provincial officiais, It contains the first conces- sion of the right to goto the capital toat has in modern times been made to nation of the West not tributary— for in the Ruseian treaty there was but the recognition of an anciept right—and it was in the form and under the imitations my judgment yet approves, and which, I veature to hope ‘and to foretell, unless Peking is doomed to bea new Constartinople, will ultimately be adopted by all ag it has been by Russia and France. It recognized Christianity and secured the full im- munity of missionary eifort. It protected Christian converts. by foreigcers. It reduced the tonnage dues. eettied the vexed question of the place of official inter. couree, at the open poris and cities, out of which had urigeu Sir Join Davia’ little war of 1847, and which bad pro. tracted sir John Bowring’s bigger conflict (not yet I fear ended), of 1856. It opened new ports, It regulated in great Getail after the benefit of twelve years’ experience, the commercial relations of the East aud West, and, tking for its model the British treaty of 1842, by very comprebengive ‘most favored clauses” (which the Chi- pege gladly assented to), gave us everything that might at any time be granted to other natiogs. Of such a trea- ty, made tp peace snd friendlinses, without an unkind word or thought; without a threat, or a pang, or a scar, | adopted and approved by China and my own country, t | bave no reason to be ashamed, Of the interval between the signature of the American reaty on the 18th June, and those of th» English and Treveb ce the 27th and 28th, aud what occurred, I must ay a word, agit has been the subject of specific and ‘nott malignant misrepregentation.

During the in- terval to which I bave referred, the path of my duty wae ciearly before me.

This course | steadily pursued. On two oocasions only did T (and the same remark applies to the Russian Minister) deport from another rule I preecribed to myeeif of not era with the action of others—! mean ty eppeal to them.

This suggestion wis, I have every reagon to be | \leve, properly appreciated, and the opium question was | dispored of ag easily und satisfactorily ag if it were the | Het simplest question of commercial relation.

American cotton goods, | Which, unlike the British fabrics, have appreciated in | China bince 1844, are to be imported at a lower rate than | the five per cent ad valorem geale adopted in Lord Elgin’s treaty. The sure, if not rffia increase of their con- sumption, especially in the north of China, may be relied | on, and if the really great feature of Lord Elgin’s treaty | (for which he deserves all Praiso) the regulation of the interior transit duties, be, as I think it will be, a success, | there is every. reason to hope for a large increase of west. | pes Pecety pot the ee Gain a fabrics. nd now, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, ve done. | last words must be words of earnest gratitude to the | Executive administration at Washington, which, conduct- | ing, as it seems to me, the foreign policy of the nation, 50 as to command confidence and respect everywhere, has to me been most generous and trustful; and as sincerely to you, my friends and countrymen, who have watched me with interest when I was away, and now go ceecially welcome mo, back, from the bottom of my heart I you. 4 PERSONAL. _ M. 8.—THERE IS A LETTER FOR YOU AT THE Broadway Post office from K.
