Nuw Youk, Julv 10. A dispatch to tho Journal and Advertieerfrom London says: Tho Chinese invasion of the Amur province is equivalent to a declaration of war at?tlr8i Russia, which, construing it as such, has handed the Chinese envoy at St. Petersburg his passports today and requested him to leave the country, along with tlio members of his mistion. The importance of this Chinese decla ration of war against Russia, and of this bold invasion of Rmsian territory, lies in the fact, as the mutter now ttttnd?, that it virtually releases the Czar from his obligations to tho foreign powers to act in concert with them in China, lit is placed thereby in a position to act in dependently, not only with reference to defence of his dominions against the Chinese invasion, but also as regards the carrying of war into the enemy's country and an eventual march upon l'ekin.' Should u Russian tinny, proc-edinc from Siberia, ri-Hch l'ekin and captute it before the allies could got to it from the j Pacific Coast, tho Czar would be utile to dictato terms to China independently ol the other powers, antl without any re gard to their wishes, virtually eetablish itiir himself. as master of the country. Tho Rrilish and German governments, alarmed at the idea of title eventually, have today decided to abandon the policy which they have pursued until now and to declare war upon the Chineso govern merit, thus placing themselves in line with Russia and France and the Uniteil States is expected to follow suit im mediately. France has, indeed, already issued, to day, a decree forbidding the sale of arms or war material of any kind to the ChineBO, while Gertnuny bus already prohibited the Chinyse envoy at Berlin frotn communicating with his govern ment except through the German foieiun oflice, and is preparing to give him his passports. Here in London, the Chinese minister has already packed all belong ings, removed hi boys from the schools and cancelled all his entragetnents, so as to be ready for immediate departure. In addition to thecorps of the imperial Chinese army, which has invaded Siberia witli orders to drive all foieigners out of the rich gold-bt'iiring Amur province of the Cz.ir, there are live other corps, one of which is engaged in destroying the Russian railroad in Manchuria and in driving all the foieigners, especially the Russians, fiom the northern portion of the empirt; another is to occupy the roads between l'ekin and Sham Ilai Kwan ; yet another is to concentrate at Nanking, while columns aie being direct ed in hot haste to Tien Tsin, to tho hol ders of Corea and to tho neighboihood of Shanghai. Altogether tho Pekin government is estimated to have under anus at the present moment no less than 1 ,000,0011 men, splendidly equipped with Mauser ritles, smokeless powder and quick-tiring oidinanee, antl carefully trained under the direction of Danish and German ollleers.
