Mr. Johnson, American Minister, formally « waited on I.r;rl Stan ey on tile 0th. lie will submit his credentials to tire Queen 011 Moti- day. v The " 'imcs‘ has another long article on the V treaty recently concluded between the United Htutes and China. The writer reviews the eotirsb of British po.icy in China, which be uhuracterizel as one of' peace, subject to fre- quent aggressions. The disregard of treaties, fraud, ill—faith rind evasion, until lenien y is interpreted at l‘eltiu as fear. Chinese diplo- ruiicy is seemingly master of the situation. They laugh the English treaties to scorn, and jockey them into quelling the Inckings. They gave her the go-liy as the principal leading power in foreign policy. They send it mis- sion to defer inlcllnitely the clause of the treiityp! ’I‘ien ' n opening the Empire, and admitting civ ation. They must be told if' they want. war, t .al that while England desires peace, actual treaties 17.115th enforced, and no step further will be taken until that is done. China will not be the theatre of' war between foreign powers, unless as a result ot‘Americrtn policy. The article ends with the assertion that only the rulers of China cling to exclu- sion. The people want f'rcb intercourse, and ltis the duty ot'l-Inglani to sustain this wish of' the people against the rulers. _

If; is generally considered that the events of the last fortnight have made little change the political condition on the Continent, either to les.;ori or increase the chances of war. While on the one hand

in the matter; yet if they see it would be] an advantage for them to obtain arencwa] of the ’l‘rcaty. there is certainly nothing wrong in llieir doing so; but the main question for us to discussant] consider is: would a renewal oi the Treaty, on the basis of tire terms contained in these reso- lutions, benefit us, and add to the pros- perity of the country? If so, then we ought not to care from whom the proposal cma‘ hates. 11 the Fisheries are as valuable as they are represented to he, certainly the number of successful Islanders engaged iti tho trade are few and far between; . id it by granting this privilege to the Americans it can be shown that it would add to our prosperity. ought; we not to do all we on to bring it. about?

It is notorious that to aver-y great extent, driving the late civil war. the sympathies of ‘ the people iii these Provinces and in Cana-I do were almost wholly with the South— witlt those who fought for the pci'pi tti:.tioli of human slavery! and iii seine places it was more than sympathy: it; was manifest- ct] iii acts which, considering the object for which tltc South l‘cnght,\vcre note itablc to us. This awakened a feeling a; inst us, because it affected most sensibly the feel- ings of the American nation ; and now that they have made a move towald us iii a manner so creditable to that people, it shows that they are. willing to for; 'w and forget the past. We know tltc M impoli- tan County of this Island has taken the lead in this matter. and made known the terms which they would agree to for a renewal of tlie Treaty, and although persons entertaining all kinds of views on the subject met at the meeting in CI loftetown. yet scarcely a voice was in ct]- a iiustthcm ; and when ilicdclcgation from the United States arrived they were enter- lained with all the honors which the coun- try could bcstow. No doubt ill—lll'ul'll'c ini- uor points upon which a difference of opinion mo. ' arise, but; on the main ques- tion there seems to be but one opinion. I agree with Mr. Green that it is not in our power to negotiate or conclude a treaty; that i power which rests wholly with mi | indtqieudantnation; but we have the right ‘ to take the initiative III stating the. terms tipoti which we would be \ 'llmg to have it renewed, and if'Gi ' r cws fhc lrcaly.our \vi dies. ll inado properly :nown. trill no doubt be respected. I think. his". that we might obtain a treaty :ili’liotijyh the other Colonies might not be included. We know when Confederation was first spoken

If this Colony and tho Un Government; can agree upon terms for the bu. oi :i. 'l‘i'c . 1 think it extremely ini- pi'ob bin that Great Iii'itain will refuse to sanction them.

"ho question thcrel'ore is, what is fire aggregate of the profits? Thct‘cis the difference in time, distance. freight. and interest on the capi- tu] invested, which have ill] to be cor-side - cd, and when these are all taken into - count I think tltc aggregate of the prof s on shipments to the United States was greater I): fore the abrogation of the Treaty titan on shipments to Ilritam since. If Mr. lioivatt introduced :uch a noticcoti the order Iiook us Mr. Green says he did. he did wrong, because it Would be log our Government to do what they ll.l\t. no power to do, but we ave a ' ht todiscuss the matter; and fo‘niglit bu\ - met. here to to express our view s on the subject.

DAVID Ro ' is, limp: Mr. Chairman, I did not understand from anything Mr. Green said that he vas wishing to oppose a. renewal of Free rude. but from fire te- nor of‘ his remarks I understood him to In, showing tltc necessity there was for us cri- derivoring to use otir influence to have ‘ good a bargain made with tho Aunti- cans as We possibly could. After the American Government had given notice that the Treaty would be broken off, it meeting was held in Chicago, to which delegates from this Island and the I’t'oviu- ccs were sent, when free utterance to our views were "ivr-u. We went almost on our knees and begged the American Gov- criiuii-nt to continue the Treaty, but our requests wcro spurned at by the American people. They now find they made a mistake, and wish to remedy it. “'0 have gotnlong quite its well since tho abroga- tion of llni Treaty as wb did before, and for one I am not disposed to get down up. on my marrow bones ritid bag of them to grant us the privilege of Free Trade, rind thereby kiss the hand that so consolesst smote me.
