Tho Coolie Trade to be Suppressed.
[From' Merchants’ Exchange and N. Y. News Associa
tion.]
Washington, Nov. 26.—Having suppressed the slave
traffic, our Government has taken steps to arrest the
Coolie trade. Capt. Napoleon Collins, Commanding
the Sacramento, sailed a few days sinco for China,
carrying with him full instructions from the Stato De
partment, to look into tho Cooiio trade, and after a
thorough examination to roport all the facts to his
Government, with a view t« an early amelioration if
not entire suppression of this traffic. Mr. Seward had
contemplated sending a special Agent to China on
this business, but as Capt. Collins seemed well quali
fied to discharge all tho duties of a such n mission, ho
was commissioned.

GrnnJc when there is no enemy as far os can be as
certained. Instructions to Minister Dix have but
little reference to Mexican [affairs. Our Government
is relying upon Napoleon's promise to withdraw his
troops from Mexico. The rumor that Napoleon had
notified the Washington Cabinet of the postponement
of the withdrawal until spring, is untrue. Our re-
ationswith Mexico arc less eonfplicatcd than late
dispatches from thus city would indicate. Minister
Cambpdl has no instructions whatever, tendering a
triparttlo treaty now, if France or French interests
are to bo considered by him in any way—
neither is any cession of Mexican territory
contemplated by our Government, but
the Constitutional party is to be supported, if ne-
ccs-ary, by military forco. The mission of General
Sherman is simply to view tho military sitnation of
affairs in Mexico, and give his assurance that our gov
ernment will sustain the Constitutional Party. It is
confidentially believe that such representatives will
be sufficient to check all Revolutionary plans, and se
cure stability to Juarez’s Government.
