According to the extracts which we make from the Friend of China, there appears to be a possibility of th- trouble between England and C'lina lending to .ictual wnr. The condition of the Olestial Empire seems to b?* revolutionary; insurrect ons are breaking out in the int-rior of the country; the financial reb urcrs of the government are in the greatest dis order In this ctate of things, auother war with England will throw Chinaopen to Europeancivilization, and, perhapa, in the present rapid progress of liberalism throughout the world, to republicanism. We live in an age of progress. Who can ttli what a day may bring forth 1 Annexed are the extracts from the Friend of Chin* of the 21 of February :? T1IK TKOTJBt.B WITH ENGLAND.

" 1 beg to enclose la your Excell?noy a eopy, with trans lation, of the letter which the Imperial Commiaeioner baa addressed to me on this important subject, (of safe guards ) aad in whteh, after dilating tipen the measures already taken by him at different periods, ha praoeads to obsetve that self-prohibitions of the people, have at bottom more reality and power than the prohibitions of the authoritlos MUM the peopls; that in the present emergency. therefore, ho has sumraone I the great gentry and l.tiratl of the city, with whom he had held a public conimitation and they have drawn up a publlo address, admonlsbicg and commanding the country people that they mutt all practiee pe?oe and amity with the foreign ora. This address (of whioh I enoiose a copy, not having time te eubjola a translation,) will be printed and distributed in the couutry piaoes, that it may beoome fully known to ait. in the hope of proourlng permamant security in future.

South Western Company's new steamer the Dispatch. Captain Goodrldge, was also in the harbor, she havlug arrived from London. Wo remained in port two days an unusually long time for our vessel. This stoppage at HAvre, together with the silent and anslous manner of the captain, and his mysterious movements to and from the vessel, and tliu Rue de la Uafre, excited my suspioi u, and made me oorjeaturo that we woro waiting lor eomo rpeolal and important purpos*. Nothing partioular, however, ooeurrrd before Thnri!day, towards dusk, when I found the steuwi was get iw; up At about eight o'clook th it evening the sterna win blowing off as noiselessly as possible. The night, was rather dark, but not sufficiently so to prevent me from ceting (.'apt Uoodridge sauntering about the quay in tne neighborhood of our vessel While he was thu* employed I saw a stranger, well raufllad up, approach and sprak to him, and soon afterward* leave him to * peak to a gend'armes, who had approaohed near to tne spot where they had been talking. The stranger, while in conversation, appeared to ho peering about, and shifting bis position, till at length he could oomrnand a sight ?f any one who o?me to tho vessel round tne left hun>! oorner of the oustom house, while (he baok of th.i gend'armes was turned towards that spot. The conversation between the stranger and the gend'armes continued for a short time, when a party came round the left hand corner of the custom-house, and approached onr gangway. Without any hesitation one of the party, an old man, apparently lame, drtssed in a large travelling oloak, and his faco nearly covered with a shawl, a pair of green spectaeles, and a travelling o?p, came on board, assisted by the British oonsul and Cspt tioodridge. Whllo oomlng on board 1 heard the consul say to hitn : "Take care, uncle," as if he was spenklcg to a relative, and warning him to be careful how he stepped on the ladder. The passeegtr was immediately conducted to the engineer's room (a most unusual p'ao' tor a passenger to be shown into), but uwlog to its Hmall size and e fire burning in it, 1".* wes unable to remain there, aud was obliged to go into ths saloon The consul spoke tu lilm snd of hlui, as if he were his rclativa. As ?3on as the old gentleman was on board, Captain Goodridge escorted an elderly lady down the gangway I heard tisr say to him. " I am obilgud to yau/' and from bar pronuaciation I knew she was not nn English woman She was very plainly dressed, her hair was a, waite as silver, and I thought i never saw a countenance iu which anxiety, fatigue, and fear were so visibly depicted. As soon as aha was in the saloon i oould perceivu that she had been, and still was, weeping As soon as those two were on board, and the rest of the party had joined them, I saw the strauger to whom I have before alluded leave the gwnd'armes and approach our gangway, aod at the same time watch the gend'ariue* walking away from the vessel The strauger got on board rapidly, and immediately crouched down under the paddle box. as if to pr?veui the gend'armes from observing where he wa3.

Joel s we were leaiing, oar progress was impeded by some French barges, and my fears, I suppose, got the better of my 'eases Dnt 1 could not help fancying that the men on b >*rd the barges wer? aesaiiing us m unusually loud language, and were most remarkably unwilling to get out of our way When we got oat of the harbor, all on hoard seemed to breathe more lreely; the oaptain spoke louder, and onr | passengers seemed in better spirits The person who first o?in? on board, hs* now takon off his cap, shawl, and speotaeles; and although he had no whiskers, and ' bad on a skull-cap, because his head had been shaved, I i was too well arqusinted with the heads on ! 'retch ooins : not to be convinced that we had on board no l?ss a personage than Louis Philippe, the proscribed and discrown ed King of the Frenoh; and trom the respect paid to the lady whom i hud seen weeping, I telt certain that sbe was the nged and unfortunate Marie Amslie, his dethroned Qaeen The gentleman whom I saw talking to Captain Ooodrldge, 1 lound out afterwards, was General Oumlgnv. The king now beoime talkative, and 1 heard him say that he always felt safe under the KnglWh tttg. It was the oaptaln'a intention.
