It hna not to our knowledge been pnbaibed In the Pekln Gautte, but the manuscript is in general ctreolatum here, and litere Is no reason to doubt ito authenticity. TUB KXMORliXYonr Majesty's servant, Yin-Yau-Yung, progenia a memorlal, prostrate, beeeecblng your that the pTopsstd conditions of peace are in the extreme per Mcious, to choose freely from anuiug the opinions of plain reasoaers, to torust out with vigor those who counsel what Is vicious, and by speedily deciding on a policy befitting the great Interest at stake, to turn danger into humbly represent thai ever since the vsgabvnd barbarians first revolted, the sole study of your ministers, in their ignorance and Inefficiency, has boen to he at peace with them.

For every dav the State reposed Mseir, for s6 maoy did they, princes or the blood or secretnrtss sf Stale, repose tiiumeelves, finding no moment for of that future whlab was causing hidden narrow to the empire's gods. Now, whereas the evils that have befallen us at TienMo in tbi-se days are the result of the complaisance ot Kleben, Kying and Blpu on a former oocaeion; If, In this second mxtauce, those charged with die adminisuatlou be similar I) complaisant, the Issue will bo very much more diMtftroui. The conditions of peaoe, It has boen lately reported, are arranged, and among them are such articles as that providing Indemnity for war expensed. Tbat is to say, that China, the mighty, mighty empire of Ta Thing, be constrained by a few thousand barbarians; that they have bui to command It. and she shall tender them her lauds or her cities.

But or the clauses which are most peruiuious there arv none so woeful as those (which the establishment of a residence (lit. in the capital, trade up the rlvors In the Interior, and tun propagation of religion in tho provinces. The hearts of (hues who have beard It burn with vexation. Every one knows ayt, even to the women and it ought not to bs. in your servant's opinion, If Kwelltang and Hwashana, being ministers of the Ta IViug empire, had any they would assuredly not endure to test your MnwWs pleasure wHh such propositions.

Rhouid tht-y so test yoar Majesty, whose light Is divinely brifbt, will sssuredly not fall Into the snare of counsels so nwluval. "Do not," says an ancient proverb, "ovor-advantago a trthe uot your own, for It will be certain to forc-i Itself into your p'ace." "How," said the founder of the Sung dynaatv "eba.l 1 allow any one tn snore on the ledge of the lied Id which I sleep myself?" The capital is a pre clous spot. Had the outer barbarians brought tribute ililtber, still should Ingroes and egress have boen prohibited Intercourse with thorn guarded against (or, fended and the ceremony (of their they should have returned, without being allowed to loiu. and delay. How then (whon with violence and hostility, with a read that has lusted through generations, are they to Buff-red to station officers hoic in official residences, to have their free say, to roam at random about the centre of the empire, filling its highways aud byways w.tb the Kiang and the I (barbarians from west and east)? Never, indeed, from ancient days until uow, have sucli things been heard of.

The English it said, took possession not long since of the capital of Keweh -w. and there proceeded to such lengths that they rorced their way Into tho king's palace, no one venturing in hinder them.

Tho salt smugglers are committing ry utrocity. If they get tho rebellious barI-arlausto become their receivers, the whole revenue derivable from salt will revert to the barbarians, and the of government will be ruined. Nor is this all, the more porta they occupy th- more stir they will make- the more complicated their intercourse with the Chinese, the more easily will causes of quarrel present thiiuselws. The local authorities. If th-y favor the barbarians, will outrage the people; It they favor the people, Will outrage the barbarians, who withal regard the seixpi ol a Governor General or a Socretary of State as they do the twiug up of a dog or a pig.

It Is now reasotiHi that France, having bet a small stake lit China, abould only lie rvqmred to aM the operations in that iiart of the warkl by a lores In proportion to the magnitude of her tnlamtx The remark strlkis one, that whan tlie Fmperor cited the joint expedlUon as a proof of the cordial understanding Uiat exMtod betwixt liunseU and the British government, the vnlue of French relations in China were as easily estimated aa they are now. These awkward are freqoeul in the ooaduot el our grist ally. It is a pity tin should have so repeatedly to correct himself, as his enemies ore thereby fur with plauMble reasons for aaaertmg that his friendthip Is not at auy lime to be depended uiou, and that circuiutlaures up in which he congratulates Lis people today as being of most happy augury, may to-morrow be pud luted, aud eiuied to be inoomastunt with the tntorctts of France. We fear It will be too much to expect that this subduing of our iglibore' felkitaUoue on tbo concerted Chinese is preliminary to his witbdraarai from it altogether.

It is to be apprehended that he will still keep himself arsvriuied wltb It to sucb an extent aa will give him a right to exercise a voice in Us management, Just as gentlemen sometimes take shares In public company for the sole of qualifying' themselves as directors. Tbe Emperor Napoleon's arciaianec In this business has never appeared other tl.an an unlucky accident. When socouaa attends the enterprise bo will manage to mooopollae tbe credit; and tn ail probability he will be tbo maaac in an me way or other, of preventing us from carrying it out In its Just and logical results. Far better will it he if we can be loft to deal with the Emperor of China stogie handed and unfettered. We hope, therefore, that the new light that broken upon the Emperor will grow In inteustty, until it Induces him say to the Mandarins yourselves; tbe Job a not one of thoae 'ideas' that Frauae can make war for." la it not the Increasing importance of French tola recta In Italy, lather than any new discovery regarding tbe commerce of Canton or too admission into Pealn, that has away the Idea of leading 12,000 men to China? The crisis Id Central Italy, we are told, Is foal approaching.

And then comes the question, are the Italians to work over the criaia their own battles, and defend their own freedom with their own right Is it absolutely necessary that they should again have the assistance of their Imperial Liberator? the Manchester Guardian, Oct The Patrie't statement that the Trench government has taken no decision respecting aa expedition to China Is corroborated by the fact that there la a complete ceaaatlon of rumen on the subject, aud by the announcement that the outfit of veseela for China has been almost suspended In tbe French dockyards. Possibly the Emperor Louis Napoleon may Intend that the amount of his oontrfbutiou to the Chinese expedition shall be proportioned to the extent of the complaisance shown by the British government towards bis desires respecting the settlement of Italian thi fkibo arm. tho lionHeur da la Flotte, Oct 3 The province of tbe Pechiil, situated on the extensive bay of that name, to the sooth of the groat wall, has been Increased during tbe last few years by a portion of lisi debourie. Its length is now about' 600 kilometres (five-eighths of a mile each), and Its breadth 860. Tbe name it boars may be translated by the words, "Province of the Northern Court" It is divided Into eleven departments, subdivided into arrondtasemente and districts.

The roads, the aud the defences in this province are kept in good condition, which io eiflalud by the fact that it PUUn, the capital of the empire. Tbe province la traversed by a large navigable river, the now celebrated IVtoo. This river rises In the Khingtae mountains, Mongolia, enters the provinoe of Pechiil, whore it divides Itself Into two branches, which fall into the gulf above named at about eighty kilometres one from the other. Tbe principal branch Is the Pelbo; the other arm hi lktle known, and only stands In the charts of the Chinese pilots. The Peiho within twenty-four kilometres of Pekin, and st the pnrt of it nearest to the capital is bulk thohrt Toucg.

Frcm that fort to the town of Tieaain, a dh.tasce of thirty six kilometres, the oemmonlcation Is by a canal, having only a depth or about five feet. Long, flat-bottomed junks are used on it, wbich are drawn by oxen along a towing path, similar to the mode adejxed to From Tienism to the mouth of the river tbe IVttio becomes deeper, and-it may be remembered that at the time of tbe expedition under tbe command of Admiral fhgaitit class gunboats ware able to ascend aa far as that town; but corvettes and even steamboats Were compelled to remain outside the point or Taku, in'tho bay of Pu chili. Tbe other arm, called Hi Tcbsdusyunehe, issittiBnd more to the north. Corvettes and stoam advice brats can ascenc it far as the town of Nla-ho-foo, but slier thit place the river becomes wider, but shallower, sad onri only be navigated on a kind of raft. This routs for arriving at tho capital Is kws direct and mom difficult iban by Ticusln on the Pcibo branch, but the latter is strategical wad, ivjNQv to roronramvi.

WSEOT.CTU1N OF T11E UYNASTTE? OFTXIE EAST, ttio London News, Oct It Is evident that the Fast or rather that the old politics, preponderance and rcliginu of the Fafi will not die without a struggle. as we Westerns may of our liberality our humanity and tolerance, and however sincere we may lid In so speaking, It is not tbe loss certain that in the Fast we are destructive, pushing from their stools an Olj nipus of deities, a dynasty of kings, with all the ideas divine and human which wait upon them. We have had a spirited snd tremendous protest from the Hindoo For, although wo do not accept Mr. Wilson's repented assertion, that the Insurrection was owing to our jMillcy of nltgious conversion, it certainly was owing to lbe evident progress of our ascendancy in overthrowing tbe Indian system, not merely of theology and devotion, but of social as well as political Institutions. To revolutionise fhina was thought easy If not desirable.

There have Just appcarod sure proofs that Buddha will not be overthrown without a sharp content, and that even old Confucius has still life and spirit In him. Huch revivals, indeed, do but hasten the flual perdition of that they seek to defend; and, If It be true that Russian tactics and gunners contributed tothedelencooftho Pelbo, this ua still (fleeter lAcne to ChinaanA her institutions than our fret amtOMSsulors triumphantly ascending the stream. Af'cr Ii diu and China comes Turkey, that is, the East nearer homo, with otiefoot planted iu Europe. The con wbich we read of. as having been on tbe point of breaking out in Oousiantincplc, moro resembles ibe Turkey of former centuries thoa any event we have scon recorded of late yorrs.

It reminds us of the pages of Von Hammer, and brings us hack at least to tbe days of Selim. The prosent is of a more formidable kind than the conspiracies which overthrew former Sultans. They originated generally with one or two leading men who had been Ministers or Vixirrs. But the present plot seems to have been Termed altogether outside the circle which surrounds the Puiinn. It was directed against all his Ministers, as well as himself, but It at the same time embraced numbers of bigb notabilities and officers nf tbe Judicature and the army.

All these services, therefore, are discontented discontented to such a degree that au insurrection against the Sultan has been concocted sad matured amongst them without Its being revealed until the last it- merit. What faulty and unpopular administration must that be which has beenactually undermined for months by its own sutx rd mates in a kind of permanent conaplra cy. while all ranks, down to the common soldier, are so full of grievances, and, no doubt, of privation, that the socrct Is preserved inviolate, though known to hundreds the non-soccers of the plot being almost a miracle. A conspiracy in Constantinople is now, however.a more comidlraied enterprise than it was wont to be. When his Highness frhubttod the fieragho, which forms one of the Ctrot the triangular city, a popnlar insurrection held at once besieged In his palace.

Aad there wus no issue to the rebellion. If It were In force, save flinging to tt the head of the Vixier or showing the dead body of the Hrltnn himself. But now the monarch inhabits, tn turn, palaces on each side of the Bosphorus, bis fleet lying at anchor and armed between him and the popular city, he can no longer be assailed by a mob. A chosen and determined baud of soldiery can alone make such an attempt, nnd It must have associates and support tn the fleet and' the severol mll'tary stations. Tins wh t.a the only difficulty the conspirators lutd to contend with.

They had evidently no friend at court, no accomplice In high station. The two political parties which in Turkey disputed power under the pretext that one of them was for progress and the for old Insti unions, have for some time, like our own merged or forgotten their And however they may strive, constitutionally and courteously, to oust ono another, still they have given over active enmity, and seem agreed upon conducting tho affitirs of tho Stitto In precisely the same way. Asli may to be a reformer, and Mehemet may boast himself a retrograde, but as tho forward impulse and the backward recoil are both alike power loss, each party sticks whero It la. The lamimat a mockery, rusher, a delusion, finance has hea me a borrowing from kurcspe, and expenditure, being from capital not revenue has reached a degree qf emntltance which baffles descriptum. All this is wl unpleasant to tbe men in office, who may think it the best of ail possible worlds.

But one la not surprised that unpaid soldiers and unadvancod officers plot tqgetbor to clear the Divan of its sleepy, incapable, aad oornpt occupants. Perhaps tt is fortunate that they bave failed. Their aucoess must have been attended with bloodshed, and might have nooossltated a Joint expedition of naval Powers to tho Bosphorus. The state of the capital, whether anarnhy er the ultra Mussulman faction prevailed, would have flung Ike aemi Independent Christian provtnoostnto alarm. Nor Is possible to tell what would ham taken place at Belgrade, or at Bucharest, or Alexandria.

There was: no cowardice on the part of the people there, because On Ir unguarded citltens were prisoners; but he tol them that they bad made a mistake, and that if General Washington bad been a prisoner, aud bis life tmperiUod by an ittack, be would ive risked his own and others as well, in roakiug an attack without delay. This Kansas border ruffian made a great mistake as to the disposition of the slaves to fly to hie standard; the abolitionists cannot comprehend that they are held among us as by a patriarchal tenure.

LEWIS CLEPHANE OF THE WASHINGTON ERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Washwoton, Oct. 21, 1869. My attention has been called to a letter from '1 is city.

published in your paper of yesterday, evidently Intended to incite to mob violence, which Is ever to be deprecated by every good citizen under any and all circumstances. The letter referred to represents mo as endorsing the late outrages oommttted at Harper'B Ferry by a band of lawless fanatics, which no sane man would do, and I havo every reason to believe I belong to that class, and think my friends wlU bear me out in that supposition. The report given of a difficulty which took place'' between Mr. Holland, a clerk in the United States House of Representatives and myst lf, in Adamson's newspaper depot, is altogether a ono-sided report. The facts of the case are simply Monday evening last quite a number of persons wore assemblod there waiting for the New York papers, when Mr.

Hoi lnnd entered in a highly excited manner, abusing and cursing the abolitionists and al! who sympathised with themi-Faylng, they ought to have their dammed throats cut ami announcing that two hundred ana fifty nuoii tion'ists bad possession of Harper's eiilotis statement I laughed, when Mr. Holland turned to me and reiterated the statement. I told him plainly I believed no se.ch statement, that it was nothing but ait tmrislns or rebellion of the workmen of that place. Ho offered to bit mo $100 it was as he slated. Inched I was Dot a betting character, but ut tho same time I did not believe it." He then, in a threatening mniiner said "I better rot justify tho act.

My reply was Porluipe I msy." By which I mea to Imply that 1 might, should It turn out, as it was generally supnosed to bo. a rebellion of the wsrkmon on account or a certain contractor not paying his hands. In tact, when tho Hon Mr. Faulkner left here that afternoon ho so ren. esontcd It.

Mr. Holland then became personally abusive, Ld squared off for a flgbt, but did not strike. Here the mstter ended as I supposed. I know of no in dtanatioo meeting being held until I read it in your paper. Now Mr alitor, 1 wish to say to you and everybody else that I did not, and do not sympathise with, endorse or countenance in any way the ads or objects of (Msawattamie Browu" and his party, and believe they have met and are to meet their just deserts; and furthor.

that turn a citizen of Washington, was born and raised here, for the lost thirteen years have been known to be on active worker in the anti-slavery and renubllcan ranks, and shall continue, as In times past, to battle In that cause In evory pooceful, legal and constitutional manner in which I may be able to promote the interests of the great republican party, andlhat 1ms not to be driven from my post by any personal threats, corns from what source they may.

The Grand Jury convenes next week; they will be tried, convicted and executed. If tho United States establishes its cluim of Jurisdiction it, may take what the State of Virginia has left ot them." OLD BROWN'S WORK Dt KANSAS.

The following sketch of ORsawatomio Brown appears in the Boston lias. It Is from tho pen of Mr. James Red Old chief and originator of the insurrection, vus a man of sixty-five yeais of age. He was born, I believe, in Connecticut, a considerable period of his ufe, in Massachusetts! but for some for several lived in the State of New York, somewh re in the vicinity of Utica. When the Kansas troubles broke out he had a wife, seven sons and a daughter living.

What are left of his Ihmily still live on farm near Utica. At Springfield, I believe, he was engaged in the wool trade. Wherever he Uvea be Boon acquired the reputation of a man of the sternest integrity of character. In Kansas ho was the groat living test of princ'ple in our politicians. The more corrupt the man, the more he denounced Old Brown.

was a true compliment to bo praised or to be recognizee by him as a friend; for, even in hit dealings, he would have no connection with any mai of unprincipled or unworthy character. In his camp be permitted no profanity; no man of loose morals was suffered to stay there, unless, indeed. as prisoners of war. "I would rather have the smallpox, yellow fever and cholera all together, in my camp, than a man without principle." This he said to the present writer, when speaking of some ruffianly rec-ruita whom a well known lender had recently introduced. "It's a mistake, sir," he continued, "that our people make when they think that bullies are the best fighters, or that they ore the fit men to eppoeo these Give me men of good who respect themselves, and with a doaen of them I will oppose any hundred such men aa these Buford ruffians.

Hie whole character is portrayed in these words. He was a Puritan in the Oromwellian sense of the word. He trusted in God and kept hla powder dry Prayers were offered up in his camp every morning and evening; no food was eaten unless grace was first asked on it. For thirty years he secretly cherished the idea of being tho leader of a servile insurrection: the American Moses, predestined bv Omnipotence to load tho servile natiyo in our Southern States to freedom: if necessary, through tho Red Sea of a civil war, or a fiercer war of races. It was no "mad idea" "concocted at a fair In Ohio," hut a mighty purpcae, bora of religious convictions, which be nourished in bis hqmfifor half a lifetime.

When the horisoB? freedom looked gloomy In Kansas, be took tare of bin wffe and younger child roc, and, with several of hie or five of them went out to Kansas. He thought that the hour wse approaching for his work to begin. The ballot box hod already been desecrated the ruffians of Missouri bad overwhelmed by violence the rights of the North. He went to put a stop to the insolence and violence of the South: and to him, more than to any other living man we owe pt that Kansas is a free Stale to-day. To a man of a very different character, General Lane, although a personal and malignant enemy of mine, I would accord ths second place in this honorable rank.

Brown was not sent by any one, unices by God (as he himself believed), to vindicate lbs rights of the North and of freedom in Kansas. He was no politician.

The recent nmbreak premature. The Inevitable coming triumph of the party, I have the best authority for stating, was tho most powerful reason for the precipitate movement.

The old man distrusted the republican leaders; he aid that their success would be a backward movement to the anti-slavery enterprise Hie reason was that the masses of the people had confidence in these leaders, and would bptleve that by their action they would ultimately and peacefully abolish slavery. That the people would be deceived; that the would become as conservative ot slavery as the rii mocrate themselves, ho I add, and with Apathy to the welfare of the Slave would follow; hence it was necessary to strike a blow at once.
