EMILE DB CHAMPS, SECOND SECRETARY. Ferdinand Auguste Emile De Champs—or, in Chi- nese, De-chan—second secretary of the Chinese E:m- bassy, was born in the city of Paris, France, Febru- ary 27, 1839, His father was a solicitor in aris for fifieen years, and during later years hus been ad- ministrateur des successions auprés du tribunal Civil de la Seine, and 1s pees also a practising advocate, After passing through the usual course of elementary instruction le jeune De Champs en- tered the Lycée Charlemagne, He graduated in 1867 and received the honor of brevet bachelor of arts at the great University of Sorbonne, After Foreign Office, and in the follows inted to the prefecture of hi in the Foreign Office, the duties of his prefecture being disc! by deputy. In 1865 he accompanied Wen Tajen, a iter of State and member of the impet Cabinet, on a military expedition into Mal churia. At this time Wen Tajen was commander-1 chief of a force of three thousand soldiers, one thoi sand of which were cavalry and two thou- sand infantry. The cavalry consisted of troops of Kelin and Hee-loong, two of the three Eastern rovinces; a detachment of Pekin cavalry and a p of soldiers from Chee-tzu-jung-ma-yung, or “cay braves,” from the camp of Chee. The tn- fantry consisted of a corps of soldiers called Wee- vooay Goxinabiens nother body from Pekin and Tien-tsin, and a detachment of foreign drilled mus- Keteers, called Woo-ting-tooag, mm Chee-ce, a province near Pekin.

His acquaintance with foreign affairs and his indomitable energy at once pointed him out to his government as one eminenily fitted for the responsibie office of associate with Mr. Burlingame. During his connection with the Foreign OMce Chih Tajen prepared many of the despatches addressed from his own gov- the ancient empire of China opened to him a new fleld of enterprise. In 1863 he left his native land for that distant country and arrived at Shanghae. Very soon after reaching ibis city he received an offer 01 a position in the great American house of Au- gustine Heard & Co., at Shanghae, which lie accept- ed, and was assigned to duty as inspector of silk. At the same time he acted as secretary to the Kus- sian Consul, Im:aediately upon his arrival in China M. de Champs turned all his leisure moments to the study of the Chinese language.

During the | Sauie Year a more threatening movement was made by the rebels, To meet this danger, by order of Yuan-Kia-san, Sun Tajen was scat to his native place of Shouchou, in the province of Gau-hway, to under- take the raising of funds and to train bands to pro- tect the town and neighborhood against the con- templated attack. The members of the Sun family turned out in a body and were joined by a large num- ber of others until the force swelled to more than ten thousand persons. The rebels who menaced the town were Taipings, numbering nearly one hundred thousand meu and were led by the famous Taiping clief and leader Miao-Peilin. The rebels in strong force attacked Shou-Chou and with great despera- tion tried to capture the city, bat Sun Tajen re- ag all their assauite and finally drove the:n from he place. Not content with the defeat they had sustained at the native city of Sun Tajen, they were again routed at Taaou-chow-foo in the province of Thau-twoong.

Among his companions Tah sometimes enjoys in a little hilarity; but even ai these times his actions and feelings are controlied by @ noticeable rigidity of manner, In inteliect he is quick, but lacks energy and industry. He is more a reamer than a thinker, and his want of a knowledge of the English tongue excludes him from that recrea- ie which some would most desire, conversing with ends, LIEN, LAO-YEH, FRENCH INTERPRETER, ~~~" Lien-fang, or Choon-tsing, also of the sixth rank, is a Chinese Tartar by descent, and was born in the city of Pekin in March, 1847, His father holds a pai in the military service of the empire, Mr, jen was brought up and educated in Pekin, At the age of fifteen he became connected with the Foreign Oitice, and was sanigned to the department of French affairs, He entered into the study of the French language in the school attached to the oifice, and spent five years in acquiring the pret chnes of which he is now possessed in this branch of Western knowl. edge. He was sehigpen to the present Burlingame mission as attaché and interpreter in the French language. Mr. Lien is a close student, and, Judging from the excellence and the melody of his French, a3 well as its grammatical accuracy, thesame attention to his studies must have characterized his entire attendance at the school of the Foreign Ofiice. He writes his acquired language very readily and in a hand very legible and neat. In temperament he is noticeably bashful, and seems to experience consid- erable embarrassment when the object of special attention, either out of curiosity or in conversation. His manners are very refined. He is temperate in drink and never smokes. His face does not indicate the undoubted intelligence he possesses, but lus con- yersation soon dispels any conclusions that might be formed from mere casual observation, TING LOO YEH, FRENCH INTERPRETER, ,Ting-Kieun, or Foo-cheu, is & mandarin of the sixth rank, He was born in Pekin, May, 1847, and 1s of strict Mongolian descent, His father holds a posi- tion in the imperial military service. Mr. Ting was first educated in the ordinary private schools of the city, until about 1862, when he entered the service of the Foreign Office, was assigned tothe department of French affairs, and pl: in the school of instruc- tion in the 'rench language. Having attained profl- ciency heve he was employed as student interpreter in French. In the fall of 1867 he was designated a8 one of the French speaking interpreters to accompa- ny Mr. Burlingame. Ting ts less of an active, pro- gressive student than a thinker over what he has already accomplished. He is naturally of a humor- ous tendency, and is frequently known among his companions as the “Witty student.” He writes ra- pidly, in an open, round hand, and composes in French with readiness and accuracy. Though tem- perate in his habits he is fond of getting out among ‘the people and studying their ways. CHAUNG, SCRIBE. Chaung-choou-ling, or Soong-joo, was born at Hwe-cho-foo, 1n the county of Tse-men-hiun, province of An-hwe, in the month of September, 1539, and is consequently twenty-nine years of aga, His father was in the civil service of the empire. In 1859 Mr. Chaung completed his educa at Pekin and was made clerk to the Board of Hau-lin (laureates), In 1861 he was sent to the Foreia Office at Pekin to eapeesy duty. For his learniag and general merit he was advanced successively tree ranks and was made brevet mandarin of the fifth rank, wearing the transparent white button, and assigned to duty as Brevet Vice Magistrate of the Departinent of Soldiers and Horses, one of the departments having control of one of the outside gates of the imperial capital, Pekin. Upon the creation of the Burlingame mis- sion Chaung was assigned to duty with it as clerk to Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen, ti. associate Ministers, Chaung is medium size, rathes stout and possesses quite a magisterial look. KOUG, SCRIBE. Kong-Ting-yung, or Yean-noong, was born at Loo- choo-foo, in the county of Woo-hiun, province of Kiung-soo, in January, 1837, and is thirty-one years of age. His father is in the civil service. Koug was educated in Pekin in a private school, Upon finish. ing his education he was admitted to Faug-leu- Kaung, one of the departments of history. From this, in 1863, he was sent to the Foreign Office for duty. In 1864 the Prince of Kung, by memorial to the Emperor, promoted him to be magistrate of a city and he was given the title of Lee-wol a kind of judge. In 1864 he accompanie Wen ‘fajen © to Fung-tien, 1m the province of Manchoori, against the rebels, who had raised some disturbance there. His usefulness to Wen Tajen secured him the promotion of candidate forthe vice magistracy of a town. In 1865, in re- sponse to the memorial sent to the Emperor, his title was changed by the Prince of Kung to that of vice magistrate of @ city. In the organization of the Burlingame mission in the fall of 1867 he was as- signed to duty as clerk or scribe to Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen, associate Ministers, As a farewell honor, in reply to the memorial of the Prince of Kung to the Emperor, Koug received the title of brevet chief magistrate of a city, Koug has the appearance 01 a student and evidently has always closely applied himself to the pursuit of knowledge and its rewards, Neither hunself nor Chaung speaks a word of any language except their own, but in their native tongue they are very learned. "With the Embasay their duties are principally as copyists and taking charge of the papers of the Tajens. Arrival of the Embassy in New York. Yesterday morning a portion of the Chinese Em- bassy, consisting of Chih Tajen, Sun Tajen, Fung, Teh, Tah, Lien, Ting, Kong, Chuan and thirteen ser- vants, accompanied by Captain Doiliver, of Boston, bid farewell to the “Hub” and in @ special car left for this city by way of Springfleid and New Haven. Mr. Burlingame remained in Boston, intending to visit Newport en route here, arriving to-day or to-morrow. Mr. De Champs, Secretary, will remain in Boston several days attending to some affairs in which he is particularly interested. Kway Lao-yel, Russian interpreter, having very severely scalded his hand, was also left behind with his servant, and will join the party here in a day or two. Mr. Brown, first secretary, and M ‘l, courier, arrived here yesterday morning in advance. The entire journey to Auburn, Niagara and Boston was one round of pleasure and hospitali- ty, and everywhere the representatives of the old empire were perfectly overcome with amazement and delight at the warm man- ner in which they were received. In Boston they were particularily track with the kindly feelings exhibited towards them. As a mark of their he eno of all this hospitality, on Tues- day evening, after their return from their delightful visit to the works of the American Watch Company, the Tajens, accompanied by several of the studen' interpreters, visited the City Hall, and individaally thanked the members of the Boston municipal com- mittee for the elegant manner in which they had been treated during their stay in their city. Chih Tajen retnarked that tt “was a courtesy they did not expect, and it wouid be im; ble for them to ex- ress the many thanks due to the city of Boat: hat the visit would always be remembered an cherished as one of the pleasantest experiences of their mission.” Nothing of special interest occurred on the pas- sage to New York. At the stations along the way the usual crowds were assembied and the usual an- neyance of autograph seekers experienced. Upon reaching the depot the Embassy quietly took the car- Tiages in waiting for them and drove to the West- minster Hotel, where they will continue to have a a during the remainder of their stay in city. it is the intention of Mr. Burlingame to sail on Wednesday next, September 9, for Liverpool, taking eutire Embassy with him. ir. Darl, the courier of the party, will sail to-day, in order to reach London in advance and make the necessary arraugements for the Embaasy prior to their arrival, LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
