~~ THE CHINIEN EXPEDITION. tenor ors owe oolanirommed MINT RIAD-QUARTZES, VILLAGE or ENIIO, anocer ZS The Commeader- in -Chief having determined, of sand ul secomaamance, thal the nearest of the Tau farts w Tankoo, on the north bank of the Pedro neer, was the vatherable point of the position, Gelle4l Napier proceeded with a small force in the alteruou of the 19th to reconnoitre the ground and prepare for the advance. The troops he took with nun bivouacked for the night at a distance of about 20n yards from the forts, on one ante of a canal, which nine down towards the river, and as soup :w it was dark the Sappers set to work to make two bridges over it. They were not molested by the eoemy, and the work was completed before moruieg. During the 20th fur ther preparations were made, and during the night the pecked were pushed torsierd, batteries were thrown up within 900 yards of the wall, and guns and mortars placed in ponder'. We had two 12-pounder guns, two 24poturikis, two large howitaars, and three 8-inch mortars. Theme were all the heavy guns. The party told off for the attack comprised the 44th and 67th Regiments of foot, &detachment of the Royal Marilee Batta lion, Royal Engineers, and Madras Sappers, Mil ward's battery of Armstrong guns, Govan's 9-pounders and howitzeis t and a portion of the Madre mountain train with rockets. The fortifi cations on the north bank of the Peiho river con sist of two separate forte —one, the larger, at the point where the river debouches into the sea, which commands both the direct approach to the mouth of the river and the line of sea coast northwards. The second fort, which was the object of attack, is situated on the bank of the neer, at a bend 1,500 yards higher up, and coolie: old, the reach of the river as far as its mouth, and the ground between it and the larger fort. Nearly opposite to it but a little lower down the river is another fort, which can bring a fire to beat upon the dank of its neighbours, and at the mouth of the river on the southern side is the largest and strongest fort of all, the one which was unsuccessfully attacked last year, which crossing its fi re with the large fort on the northern bank makes the approach by the ma almost impossible. The river between these two forts at its mouth was filled with strong iron stakes, planted in every direction so thickly as to form an impenetrable barrier, and above the staltrawasaboomoonstructed of timber and chain cables, Menthol from one bank to the other. The forts are all built on the same plan—a large earthen cavalier or Nilotic* facing the point to be defended, on the top of which three guns of heavy calibre are mounted is osee mated embrasures. From each side of the cavalier runs a curtain wall varying in Mg* with the im portance of the position, parallel to the line of ex pected attack, and with embrasures, mostly case mated, in which the guns are placed. If the position be an important one there are two cavaliers, as in the northern fort, at the mouth of the river, or three. as in the opposite southern one—the cavaliers being connected by the curtain walls. A similar wall forms the flanks and rear face of all the works. The cavaliers are only on the front face, but the dank and rear walls me 12 or 15feet high, with battlements along the top, and a broad parapet inside, upon which the guns are mounted. Round the whole work is a deep ditch filled with water, with a bottom of unfathomable sticky mud. Some of the forts have two or even three ditches, with spaces between covered with bamboo spikes and wooden stakes sharply pointed. The ditches are crossed by a drawbridge, in the centre of the rear face of the fort. The Chinese have apparently made considerable advance in the science of forti fication since 18158. When the Taku forts were taken on Lord Elgin's advance to Tientsin that year, they were all open to the country in the rear, and only affonled cover sod offered opposition is the front. Whether they have learned that they are much more formidable to their enemies by being enclosed all round, or whether they considered that en open rear offered too tempting facilities to their own soldiers to run away, I can't say ; but it seems otirtain that during the last two years the Chinese engineers have modified their tactics and made this innovation in their old system of fortifications. Doubthea, maps and plans of the forts will be published in England, from which yen will under stand far more clearly than from any description the relative position of the forts. Aa they went all built for the defence of the river, and we were ap proaching by land, it follow that they were taken in reverse ; but nothing discouraged, as soon as the enemy discovered our intentions they beinal to mount guns on the rear face, to turn round the large pieces on the cave/ism, so as to point the other way and to strengthen all their outer defences. The parties employed on the batteries during the night of the 90th were tired upon repeatedly from the fort, fire-balls being first thrown up in the air to ascertain their positions. No harm was I dune, however, and the work was complete.' without lona. It was arranged with the French commander- in-ehief that our allies should send a column of 1,000 men, 500 of whom were to join in the attack,• and the remainder be held in support. They also furnished a battery of rifled guns throwing 24- pounder shot. The French marched down to Taa ltoo an the evening of the 20th, and early on the 21st went out to the front, and took their &aligned position on the right of our men. All was ready when day broke. The °yens:ions were under the direction of Sir Robert Napier, to whose diviaion the attacking party belonged, and superintended by the commander-in-chief. The army opened fire at 5 o'clock, our batteries, replied, and the fight began. It had been arranged with the naval commode= that some of the navy of both minima should co-operate if parable. Ao cordingly during the night four English anal four French gunboats were brought up, and were run on to the mud flats as far as possible at high water, on the sea coast tv the north of the northern forts. In this position they were 2,000 yards (a good shelling distance) from the larger forts on the north side, and were completely out of I range of the southern ones. They were left high and dry in the mud when the tide retired and when the batteries opened they commenced to th row shells into the large fort to the north. Our heavy guns were admirably served, and the fire of the Arm strong battery was magnificent At 7 o'clock an usplusion of a powder magazine took place in the fort we were attacking, and shortly after another, and still more terrible one, in the further fort. It was a stilling sight, a huge fan-shaped column of dense black nooks suddenly shot high into the sir, with fragments of beams, and bodies of unfor tunate men ; s short silence, and then came the report—a sharp, stunning crack, like the noise of' the first buret of thunder when the lightning shatters the tree at your side, and you fang' the heavens are rent asunder just over your bead. Judging from the effects produced sad vieible in the forts by these explosions, they mast have caused the death of scores men. The earth was torn up, showing a huge crater many feet deep. Massive beam of timber were dung away like atrawa, and in the larger fort the huge earthen slope leading up to the cavaliers was fairly rent by the force of the concussi o n. The enemy, however, appeared nothing daunted, and soon resumed and continued their tire as fiercely as before. They had many guns in actiou--eume directed ou the gunboats, one or two from the other aide of the river ou a picket at the gate of Tankoo, and the greater num ber on the batteries of the attacking party. They served them with great spirit, but their skill in pointing and elevating them is small, and their shot and s6ll--for they fired both—inflicted but trifling lam. By and bye their fire began to sleeken —gun after gun shut up. By eight o'clock the fort which was the object of attack was completely silenced, and the order was given to advance to the assault Two companies of the 44th and two of the 57th, a party of Royal Marines carrying pontoons, and td Sappers carrying ladders, shared the dangers and the honour, of the storm with our bravo allies. It is vain to attempt anything like a connected or emprebeasible mount of the stoma of a place. If an eye-witness you koow only what you saw, if, tadesel, you knew that.

The stormees were met by a heavy fire of gingals and matchlocks, to which they replied with - rides. HAW the pontoon party and half the ladder party were hit.

Owes was heavy,and wasemeainedeithilly in the advance to the wall-24 killed and .17 6 wounded was a serious price to pay for the mosses. No (dicer wee killed, but 22 were wounded. French loss, hue heard, was 100. The ad vanoed to the aerault with all that ilddlor which they have ever been oelebented. As soon as the place wee taken the gins in the cavaliers Intro turned upon tar large fort beyond, but stew remade had hardly been fired when down Game from the flag staffs that covered the walls the many-coloured , war banners of the Tartars, and up ran the white flag of truce. In a few momenta the ramparts of all the forts, which just before had bees gay with the brilliant coloured pennons,. displayed a milli tude of white streamers, and bring at once caned on both aides. Then from th 4 Chinese cams a deputation and letters, but not quite so sub =sure as might have been expected. We had only one reply to give, " Unconditional mirrender or the fight goes on." To this they world not agree, and were let go with the assurance that at two o'clock the white flag would be hauled down and the attack recommence unless they had already submitted. Two o'clock tame and the troop, were in motion the 44th sod 87th Regireeota, who bad borne themselves so nobly in the morning, were now relieved by the 3rd Buffs and Bth Panjaub Infantry, eager for the fray, and earnestly hoping the enemy would continue the fight, but they were doomed to dimppoinianent. They set out for the fort, but on muted found no resistance. It was given up without a shot, and 2,000 Tartar soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered at discretion. They were allowed to depart unmolested. Then came another letter from the southern torts, and Mr. Pukes going across the river with a reply found them, too, abandoned. A party of French and English went out to take and before dark we were in occupation rth e l a raole line of defences, and Old England's ensign and France, tricolor waved prondlyde by side from the cavaliers of all the forts. The cam paign was over and had lasted just nine days. In that time, after three actions, the Chinese had , came to appreciate the power they had provolsed, and the odds against which they had to contend. They had seen their Tartar cavalry scattered like chaff before the fire of our gum and the charge of a handful of our sabres, their entrenched field work' taken without an apparent effort, and, lastly, their farts, on Which they had expended incredible labour and countless treasure, had fallen after a brief though sanguinary conflict, and 2,000 prisoners and nearly 600 guns, besides immense stores of the munitions of war had fallen into our hunk Add to this, their oommander-in-chief was killed in the fight—not, however, the Mongolian liankolintain, for he had left the some some days before, and gone off to Pekin. It is said to be a characteristic of the Chinese that there is no medium state between the highest elation and the deepest despair in their mental phenomena ; and it appears true, for now came the most abject sub mission. They would resist no more. We might go to Tientsin—to Pekin--anywhare we liked. Auovwr 28. Them is little moreto tell. The night of the 21st the gunboats removed the Makes and opened the passage of the river. On the following day. he admiral went up to Tientsin in his steam tender, and ooeupied the fort there with a few blue.jultete and marines till the arrival of the troops. Yester day the Ist Royals and 67th Foot, with Barry's lottery, were emit by gunboat. to Tientsin, and this Lard ]E fn and the Commander-in- Chief started for the same destination ; the latter is expected back to-morrow, and soon after his Muni its anticipated that the whole army will move up thank The distance is only 32 miles, and can be accomplished in two marches. The work of the army is over, and diplomacy must do the rest ; but it seems probable that a considerable fame mud be left in Use north of China for the winter, as a material guarantee for the faithful observance of the treaty which will now be oon chided, and for the payment of the indemnity which will be demanded. On visiting the forte after their capture one is greatly impressed with the singular ocintradio bona, so to speak, in the Chrome military cha racter, of which they aired so many striking evi deuces. The works sale a perfect marvel for inge nuity of eceetrustion and heated* is the execution. The plan of the whole is admirable, the site pecu liarly well selected ; the utmost advantage has been taken of the Weiser/ of the greeted ; the dithered forts are so situated as to afford suateal support ; in the hands of almost any other Action they would have been irepreAable. But with all their ingenuity to invent, with ample re emerges sad abundant material, and above all with determined courage to defend, they have failed born a went of knowledge of how to apply the mauls at their disposal Perhaps it is too muck to my, that had known how to use their artil lery, and how to thernaelvee from the fire of ours, we could never have taken , the forts at all ; but at any rats it would have been a very dilllcalt and tedious operation. Agile, an examination of their trasponn tills you with anew merit. You see bows and arrows, crossbows and Aisles, which carry you back to the middle are. Rockets with fiery demand; emblazoned on them, and heaps of bricks ready 'Lid to be showered upon the foe, whieb remind you of the mimic fights of your cebooldays ; old peewee of rusty, wonderfully shaped ordnance, that would have been despised in the days of Queen Elizabeth, and enormous braes cannon of extraordinary cabbie and weight of metal, that in the beauty of their mould and finish are suggestive of Armstrong and Whitworth. There is in all this a mixture of wisdom and imbe cility which is most perplexing. It is well known that Indian preteens have for years shown a passion for all Nagliah oontrivances, and have at greet cad filled their palaces with watches and clocks, mechanical toys, and perfect rife. , of which they do not understand either the principles or the uses. They regard them merely as things to be put on a stand or under a glees ease and looked at. But this will not solve the Cheeses problem. In mechanical contrivannee they are hardly inferior to any nation in the world. These marvellous gins are their own manufacture, and they are hilly alive to the importance of employing this, yet they appear to cling with strange pertinacity to the weapons of the ancient times, and the aseadants of their fortresses are received with alternate dui amps of 68-pounder COMM bells and Eights of &ATOMS.
