At the lato conference betwoen Lord Cl?ren Ion and Mr. Burlingame, at which the agree ment was made, which has been already tele graphed, Lord Clarendon, in roviewing his former conversations, fully acknowledged tho propriety and j?stico of the several points which Mr. Burlingame had advanced in refer ence- to the policy which he deemed desirablo that England should pursue. Mr. Burlingame held that tho objects of tho present mission showed evident signs of pro gress, and by no means evinced a retrograde disposition on the part of tho Chinoso Govern ment. Ho also deprecated the practico of Western Powers in using an unfriendly pres sure to introduco new systems and new ideas among a people whoso knowledge of foreign nations was of recent origin, and who were nurtured under a traditional system to which they were accustomed, and attacked because such repressive policy would tend to revolu tion and repress progress, whereas the Chinese Government fully admitted the necessity of progress and desired to encourage it gradually without a sudden shock to the feelings, pas sions or prejudices of the people. Tjuid OlioroKawu, in tuaiuyij, t-uiiy auaiiuca that the Chinese were entitled to forbearance from foreign nations, and assured Mr. Burlin game that England did not desire or intend to apply any unfriendly pressure in order to in duce China to advance more rapidly in her in tercourse with foreign nations than was con sistent with tho safety and feelings of the Chinese people.
