JANUARY IL IT is all My well far oar China merchants to ergs on Lard Efate the opeeing of trade with the inte rior, the obviating of vexations dada an the purge of goods, and so on ; but it strikes mart people that there is something else to be attended to first. We must see our Ambassador is &condition to treat before there is much use in insisting on what terms he is to obtain. There is nothing mom Illiatiafactory is the present state of oar affairs than the aspect of the Chinese question ; and there are some points to be insisted on prior to the stipulations of treaties, and at least as important as they can be, became no treaty can be had without them. It is useless to postpone this subject on the pies of the abserbing character of oar interest in India,—a plea no doubt acceptable to the Ministers, bat thoroughly inexor able from anybody. If China were in the western hemisphere, and its affairs as isolated as those of Peru or La Plata, there would be same pretence for carelessness ; but while the state of oar affairs in China must largely affect oar interests throughout the East, and in India especially, it Is an urgent duty to keep the responsible parties up to their business, in the first place—however important it may be to secure favourable terms for oar trade afterwards. The conduct of our officials in China a year ago was not so wise as to entitle them to any unquestioning confidence from the people of England. Treating them with rash generosity, England adopted (in spite of Parliamentary condemnation) their acts towards the Chinese, and followed them up by inviting the world to attend to the spectacle of her dealings wit► the Empire, with which several other Pewees bed more or lesa reason to be discontented. This we did last spring. What was the state of affairs when the Mail of Nov. 28 left Hongkong' The naval reinforcements which were tout in the China seas are not there. Where are they ? Capella PEEL with 400 men of the Shane= are on the Ganges. They have garrisoned Allahabad; and they have taken part in the fighting at Lucktow and Cawnpore. We have heard of Captain 13011Laalt of the Pearl and his seamen at Patna—not a little astonished, of course,at finding themselves in Bengal, protecting a wide range of inland country, instead of threatening the Chinese coasts. The men of the lianspareil, in garrison at Calcutta, set free troops enough to accelerate Ornimes march on Lacknow, Such a destination was not contemplated at home. It was the Ambassador to China who rendered this aid ; and if assistance is needed in tarn by him, it is as mach for the sake of saving mischief in India as for security in our conflict with China. At the end of November our countrymen at Hongkong had received the better news from Calcutta which raised our hopes high before the arrival of the last two mails; and they considered themselves justified in making for at least two regiments wherewith to hold Canton. If they were not very hopeful when making the request, they mast sines have made up their minds to a refusal ; for it is pretty evident that no European regiments out be spared from the Sepoy war for a long time to come. This makes it the more imperative that we at home should see to the providing of a sufficient npport from soother quarter. When the tat Mail came away everybody was waiting foe the fame which was to take Canton. The Plenipotentiaries of France, Rada, and the United States were all present together, looking on, and expecting from our officials the clearing of the ground for their respective and united negotiations. It was England that brought affairs into this position. England invited, as it were, this party ot observers-- challenging, indeed, all nations to witness her entry into Canton—at the bidding of the fueetionary who desired to make that entry in his own person. Well! that happened nearly a year ago, and can't be helped now. The question now is, whether des care has been taken to conclude the business favour ably—to justify the beginning by the end ; or, it that is impossible, to make the end an improvement on the beginning? The public at home have cer tainly done nothing towards protecting the enter prise they eagerly embraced when men of sagacity gave warning of its extent and difficulty. Rae Ministers taken measures for sustaining any possible reverie, or for meeting any difficult contingency whatever? If they can tall us, when Parliament meets, that they have looked forward beyond the taking of Canton, it will be an immense relief to • mania& of people, besides China merchants. The one thing in which all parties (possibly not except ing the Chinese themselves) agree is in absolutely reckoning on the British taking Canton. We shall take it. We trust we may say so much without presumption. But we may lose more men than we have anticipated. We know nothing et the additions which may haws (some say have savisstionaWy) ban made to the dehisces of the Owe; and the sego may take lager than has hi. inflamed. Aid who coo form the most roods idea bre beg our opeopation of Canton may nemaartly be Have we prodded for it!

Have we Calculated 'what will be neosmary to hold Canton at one end of the empire, and to enforce the inferences from that act at the ether? Are there fortes on the way at this moment ID Illetain the enterprise? And have we contem plated the consequences of a retreat from Canton after having captured it? What business have we with such enterprises, if we do not prepare for any porible Mae of them? And what must be the effect in India et OM the slightest doubt about our carrying all beton min China? Where is the limit to the onasectuseass in Europe of any miaad vealare with a ami-barbarons foe in the But ? If time quistima are mammary, it is highly desirable that we should know it In that case, Ministers sun have nothing but satisfaction in explaining themselves. If they have not a thoroughly sada tutory answer to give, it is not only necessary to ask the questions, but an urgent duty to see that our legation is not left wandering in the Bast like a lost caravan in the dated. Our inquiries are abundantly justified by the notorious English prac tice of getting absorbed in one interest, so se to be fair game for the fates on every other side. We might be a good deal more provident without being at all lem breve. Sir COLIN CAMPBELL gives us that lemon to-day, as WELLINGTON did in the Peninsula half a century ago. When disaster comes, we *crumble through it, or over it. But there soma an end to that 'oft of credit ; and we have really done it so oftea, we have endured so many preven tible calamities that we shall lose our honour if we do not seek it in the other direction—of preventing disaster. If our enterprise in China requires two or more regiments, they mast be had, and we know that they can be had by this, that if disaster did happen, twice two, or ten times two, regiments would be fortheomieg to repair it. The miscbief that may be prevented by due and timely inquiry is that of the question being—not shelved, for we have gone too far for that—but pat at of sight for the time , under cover of the general interest about India. This will not do. The presence at four Plenipotentiaries frost thefour leading nations of the world, in Hongkong harbour, testifies to the vital character of the controversy. Became it was so great an one, we urged temperance and coolness at the outset; and, now that its magnitude is become isig troublesome, if Government seek first to veil its importance, in order to escape inquiry, and then to allow it to collapse with a recreancy equal to their first rashness, it is time that the cause of the national honour should be vindicated by all who have it at heart—whether they advocated or opposed the war with Chine when it was a matter of choice. The China seershuits are urging Lord Exam about open. ing up the interior. Merchants and everybody else should learn first whether we have made sure of oar footing on the crest. There is much to be done before retching the interior. We can do it, no doubt. Are we doing it, with a wisdom which may spare as the security of running the gauntlet of • hundred digesters P ARRIVAL OF :E BOMBAY MAIL, The Bombay mail arrived in London this morn ing, bringing intelligence ap to December 24. It adds but little to what we have already published. The following is the letter of our Bombay corres pondent: BOMBAY, Dsc. 24. We are here at present as far from Calcutta prac tically as from London ; the latest intelligence we have received from the capital of India being no later than the 30th of November, and therefore giving us no additional news from Cawnpore. Through Agra and the Madras telegraph we have, however, received a few items, insufficient, however, to afford a connected narrative of the pro ceedings of our army against the 'walk,. mutineers. Still, such as they are, I transmit them to you. A letter tells us that one of General Windham's en gagements was fought on the 28th of November at a place called Akberpoor, a few miles from Cawn pore. The writer says: The Grenadier Regiment at the °maim Contiegent charged within our held battery, under Me hermits up patently that we were retreating--thie regiment was ensilti• Wed, and to mid to have left 800 lulled reel wounded ea Ike pond.

The esti- iroderia-ehist of the rebel troop le wad to . be a brothente law of the Nana Sahib. From the statement of an harken', who his come from Cawnpore, and who left that station on the let December, it appears that there wee an uninterrupted fight between the English and mutinous force from the Seth to the 30th November ; that the insur gents placed their guns on Nunhey Newab's Hamlet and the Church ; that the Lucknow force in the meantime arrived at the bridge of boats on Monday (30th November), and after fighting with the enemy for the whole day, succeeded in crossing over the bridge, and encamped in the plain ; that the whole English force in the entrench ments, including that in the plain, is esti mated at 6,000 strong, and the enemy double that number; that, besides the 12 infantry and three cavalry regiments of the mutineers they have • large number of budmashes from the vil lages of the Cawnpore and Orei districts and the 0 walior territory with them, that reinlrcement wu daily expected from Allahabad, and a detachment of the insurgents was sent towards Futtehpore to oppose the reinforcement on its way. Sir Colin Campbell's share in the subsequent destruction of the rebels is described by a newswriter of the Maharajah Scindialt, who writes from S.alpee, on the 6th of December, um follows: Three ha:karma came straight from Cawspcee to-day, and reported that the dweller Contingent rebels, having collected all their force and stone at Bluth, edmamei theme to a Oboe two ooss nester to Cawnpore, sod left thin, with 60 arta Irk their camp end hamar.

Balla Sahib, brother of the Nana, who was wounded in the shoulder, took refuge in Calpee, where he has been since busy in bring ing together guns, ammunition, and provisions. Curt and unsatisfactory as these disjointed state ments are, they leave no doubt as to the great fact that the Gwalior rebels are completely disorganised —a fact rendered still more certain by this, in addi tion, that Brigadier Grant succeeded in dispersing • large remnant of insurgents who might to retreat into Gude. This important sews was despatched from Cawnpore on the 10th of December by the As the great want of Sir Colin hitherto has been carriage, great efforts have been made to mist him with camels, elephants, and outs from Agra, Meerut, and Delhi. On the 7th, a convoy left Delhi, accompanied by the 7th Punjeab Infantry, Blanes troop of Horse Artillery, a squadron of the 6th Carabineers, and 500 of Hodson's Horse. From Meerut and Agra other convoys were sent at the same time ; and the whole met at Allyghar, on the 11th of December, Colonel Seal= taking the command. The trial of the King of Delhi was to take place on the 14th or 15th. Generally courts-martial had been very busy, and six or eight rebels were exe cuted every morning. On the 9th December com menced the trial of the Nawab of Jhuggnr. The departure of so many troops from Delhi leaves the garrison numerically too weak, notwithstanding the arrival on the 11 th of the left wing of the Ist Belooch battalion, now located in the famous Jnmma Mosjid. The four regiments in quarters have not more than 250 men each. The same remarks apply to Meerut, where the fighting portion of the community consists of 300 of the oth Dragoon Guards, 120 of the 60th Rifles, 4 guns of Tomb's Battery, and de tachment of Sikhs. How soon it will be pomible to send a column into Rohilcund, under these circum stances, it is difficult to my. I spoke, in my last letter, of an expedition to- wards Futtssabsid, and the departure of Mr. Philips to its aid, with two guns. Here are two letters de scribing the proceedings of a force sent to Mr. Philips' mistime : Cater Iftrrrznamn, Dec. 3.—We marched from Ape ea the sondag et the tad to this pima, which le distmet Whs.

There is little as yet passing in Rajpootana. Sir Hugh Rose and Sir Robert Hamilton have been actively engaged at Indore in dealing with rebellious rajahs. They caused the Rajah of Amj heirs and his ministers to be arraigned for aiding the rebellion, and the court found the prisoners guilty. The ministers were all hung forthwith; the rajah awaits instructions from Lord Elphinstoue. This occurred at Indore on the 20th. Brigadier Stuart, in leaving Mundesore, ordered the Hydrabad contingent, ander Major Orr, to stand test there, and Nessauch has been reinforced by 160 of H.M.'s 83rd, under Major Prescott ; 160 of the 12th Regiment Native Infantry, two guns with Goltuidanze, and 30 Lancers, in charge of a good supply of ammunition and other materials of war, which are much wanted. The detachment of her Majesty's 83rd, hitherto at Neemuch, and the Lancer, were to leave for Niniseerabad, where Gene ral Lawrence proposes to take speedy measures for destroying the rebels of Awah. Thence his destination will be Kotah. The rebels that were defeated at Mundesore are said to have fee terniaed with the Kotah mutineers, with the inten tion of making another attack upon Neemuch. Fugi tives from the victorious army in the north are said to be collecting with the avowed purpose of going to Nussearabad and Ajmeer. One thirtg is certain, viz.—that the whole of the fanatical Mahonzeilan population of Rajpootana are our inve terate foes; and every day's delay in sending troops up only accumulates the number of the disaffected. Thousands of the ignorant peo ple do not credit the fall of Delhi ; and look upon the report of the capture of that hoary headed villain, the King of Delhi, as fictitious; and the " power and strength" of Great Britain, as re presented in the large army which have left England for India, se a myth; both being trumped-up, fabrications to dispirit and keep the rebels in awe. Heavy work is yet before us; and General Lawrence will require not only the pluck (and he has plenty of that), but the ge nius and generalship of his gallant brothers to art y himself and us throagh these stormy days.

After their defeat on the 6th of December, they were permed by General Hope Grant, of her Majesty's Illek Lancers, who overtook them u they were crossing the Ganges, and captured fifteen guns, besides immense quantities of stores. The lose on the side of the British was nominal, but General Grant wu slightly wounded. Our communication with Calcutta has not yet been re-opened, and the intervening districts are still partially disturbed. The Punjaub and Rohileund continue tranquil. The Governor. General, and Governors of the minor Presidencies remain at their respective seats of government. The Commander-in-Chief of Bombay hue returned from Poona, and is now at the Presidency. Ouor AND CAwrtronc.—We gave in OUT kg summary &string of short telegraphic notices, bringing down our intelligence from Gwnpore and Ouds to 6th December, at which date the Commander-in• Chief had defeated and scattered the Gwalior Contingent, capturing sixteen of their guns. The only addi tional victory we have to chronicle is that of Brigadier Grant. who, on the 10th, attacked and defeated them, capturing the remainder of their artillery. We have, however, to revise and correct the summary formerly gives, by means of the information since received direct from the north-west provinces and from Cal cutta. It most be remembered in the first piece, that the contingent consists of four batteries of artil -let7, two regiments of cavalry, and seven regiments of infantry, all as highly disciplined as any native troops in the serv ice ; and they had not, from the time of the mutiny, until their approach to Cava liers, been weakened by defeat. Th e y h a d b een joined by the remnant of the Dinapore mutineers, the eontingents of all the ill-disposed Rajahs in this part of India, with the whole body of ruf fians and bandits from the country around. In all, they probably amounted to at least 20,000 men, with about forty pieces of ordnance. On the advance of the Commander in-Chief towards Lucknow, the force at Cawn pore, amounting to abont 3,000 men, had been left in charge of General Windham. On the 24th, the first detachment of the rebels crossed the Ganges and approached Cawnpore. General Windham went out to meet them on the 28th, and attacked and defeated, following them up for a couple of miles—not deeming it wise to pursue them further, lest, with each large masses in the field, the enemy might get into his rear. Having returned to Cawnpore the same evening, he encamped at Nawabgunge. The force he had gone out to meet, seemed in all likelihood to entrap him and draw him from his supports. The remainder of the contingent appear to have joined almost imme diately after the defeat,and to have made arrangements for at tack. On the e vening of the 27th, aeoordingly,they poured down an overwhelming force on Windham, and compelled him to withdraw into the entrench ment. They then burned the camp, destroying three thousand tents, with our baggage and supplies. On the following day they attacked the entrenchment, but were met by a sortie from the troops, and retired under discharges of grape from our heavy guns. Our troops suffer ed severely, especially BLM.'s 64th foot. Colonel Wilson, of this corps, was, however, the only officer killed. The mutineers were now able to occupy the native town of Cawnpore, when no opposition appears to have been attempted against them for several days. On the 28th Sir Colin Campbell, who had left a division at Al umbagh, under command of General Out ram, reached Cawnpore with a considerable portion of the relieving force from Luck now. Having made arrangements for sending down towards Calcutta the wounded, the sick, the women and the children, he on the 6th at tacked the enemy; and, it is said, by • feigned re treat, drew them for several miles from t he ir posi tion. A detachment of 500 men had meanwhile been sent round to attack them in the rear ; and so soon u time had been allowed them to take up their position, the retiring force faced round, attacked, and defeated them with great slaughter. The enemy were routed, and driven fourteen miles along the Calpee road. Sixteen of their guns, twenty-aix battery carts and waggons, with an immense quantity of ammunition of all sorts, were captured. Our loss was insignifi cant, Lieutenant Salmond, Aide-de-Camp to General Grant, was the only officer who fell. The Commander-in-Chief bad thus succeeded in capturing no fewer than 32 pieces of artillery within little more than a week. On the 9th, General Hope Grant, of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, who had been sent in pursuit of the enemy, overtook the fugitives at Sersigham, when they were beginning to cross their pins over the Ganges. The folllowing telegram from the Commander-m-Chief to the Governor- General, dated 10th December, the latest received in Bombay, will explain subsequent operations : A. despatch has just been received Iron General Hops Grant, H.R.'s 9th Lemma. It narrates that he came up with ths fugitives at 9osnaglasa whim Shay were beginning to cross the gins over the Oseges. Reattached them inabatly with his cavalry and artillery with great spirit, and after haR-an-hour's sharp &log, took 16 guns, including omelB-poonder, eight 9-pounders, three 12-pounder headhunt, two 4-pounder howitsen, one 6-pounder-native--with all I their stores, outs, waggons, large quantities of annionnltion, bollocks, kackeries, &c. General Grant estimates the ter of the enemy at about 100. He did not loss a man in the operations, he himself being slightly wounded. 1 congra tulate your lordship on the happy dui& of this particular oaropsips. MALWA.

The speech of to-day is certainly one of the mast remarkable that the Emperor has ever pronounced. Whether we oonsider the number of subjects touched upon, the originality of the views expressed upon many questions, the inge nuity of the explanations given of checks in foreign policy impossible to be altogether denied, or the art with which as unbounded convic tion in the stability of his popular dynasty is plau sibly reconciled with the avowal that he relies upon additional "repressive measures" to support it, I believe that no speech delivered from the throne established upon the basis of the coup d'etat of 1851 has yet contained so much matter for comment and reflection as the present one. The most striking feature of the speech as regards the circumstances of the hour is the absence of any expression tending to countenance the insolent remarks of M. de Morny, touching the refugee ques tion as connected with Eogland, upon which I thought it right to make some severe strictures on Saturday. It would be affectation to airtime that M. de Morny's important speech was delivered without having been first privately submitted to his Majesty for approval; and therefore I cannot join the chorus which will doubtless be raised by flatterers in prides of the Emperor's supe rior wiedem. Neverthelem, his discretion in dele gating to a subordinate the advocacy of s cause,which, however dear to his heart, his reason, guided by his intimate knowledge of what Englishmen are, mm tell him he has the faintest possible chance of win ning, is a fair subject for admiration. It must not be supposed, from the silence of the speech on this 'abject, that an attempt will not be made to take advantage of the hearty indignation universally felt in England at the crime of the Rue Lepelletier, is order to break down se far as possible the time honoured laws of England, which protect political refugees, and to give the French police a footing in the Home-office. On the contrary, I am informed while I write that M. de Peraigny has already re mitted to Lord Clarendon a diplomatic note calling for an alteration of the English system. The part of the speech which refers to the late attempt on the Emperor's life is exceedingly able. It has been remarked in all directions that the speeches of MM. de Morny, Troplong, and Barochs very awkwardly betrayed • consciousness of the weakness of the dynasty. It was anything but re assuring for Frances to be told, u she was told in substance, by those gentlemen, that her institutions have no inherent principle of vitality, and that nothing but a single life (which the prevalent influenza, let alone assassins, might remove in twenty-four hours) stands between her and anarchy. The Emperor sanctions no such timid and self-clamnatory doctrine. He boldly avows a philosophic indifference as to the dura tion of his own life, and proclaims his belief that he has founded a throne which the people and the army would preserve for his infant son if he should be taken away. The utter repudiation of the doctrine put forth by M. B. de Girardin in the Courrier Parts, that the Empire was now strong enough to bear that greater degree of liberty which was promised at its inception, will not fail to be remarked. " The march of every new power is always a struggle." We are told more repressive measures are called for, the liberty granted at the last elections is regretted, and the new Chamber is told that it is expected to aid in devising new measures to reduce " extreme and factious " parties to silence. There is so little margin left in France for new measures of repression that some people fancy a censorship of the press must be in contemplation. The " great principles of 1789," inscribed at the head of the constitution, are taken down a peg in this speech. It is said that the Emperor's government does not desire to hinder the diffusion in the world of " all that is good and civilising in the principles of '89." This is a very different thing from the adoption of thous principles, and is, in short, a profession entirely con genial to the present imperial institutions, viz., that of having no principle at all susceptible of being interpreted except by itself. The announcement of an intention to require the oath from every candidate far a seat in the Corps Legialatif does not seem to me open to any reasonable objection. The following observations from the Univers on the refugee question will, doubtless, provoke an answer both from the English press and from M. Victor Hugo: There axial s band of asenuins of whom the world mast be rowed ; there are dens of mewl= which can no longer be Pafford to remain inviolable ; there are theorists, poets, publicists, and journals of ; and Frannetlndi otEurope to Wawa than. ••e - • • - • • We rightly congratulate onnelme, and the French con seknoe is consold because, so far at least as is yet known, there ia no Frenchman among those who carried Into en cation this last conspiracy. But at the doors of France books which these monsters may have read are compoisol, printed, end sold—hooka more inhasom still than they themselves are—looks in the French language, which poodle glory to those who will commit these crimes. It is a Fresolt• roan, a man who has been a peer of Fianna, a member ei the French Academy, who, safe in the asylum which England gives him, has called assassination heroism. Ad dressing himself in the name of conscketos to eases type of these bandits, for whom even the poniard his now become an arm too noble, and pointing to the Engem, he says, "You may kill that man with • safe ma- Mienel." Ah, doubtkm this Tyrtens el the hulks will arm himself sat about the work—he will sever be found in the streets of Paris with ► poniard, neither will any other snob pen and ink men as himself.
