The "Universal Gazette" has the following about the Manchurian Convention, which we translate below:—We learn that Prince Ching has already informed th Foreign Ministers at Peking concerning the drift and scope of the proposed Manchurian Convention, against which the Ministers appeared to have bad nothing at the time, whilst the Japanese alleged to have remarked to Prince Ching that if the negotiations were arranged in the way notified by the latter there did not appear to be any harm in them. The former also advised the Prince that when everything bad been arranged, his highness should notify the Powers and on the other hand sign the Convention.
