To the interesting intelligence from China, lately communicated, we are enabled to add some further particulars, from advice, transmitted by an Mae. r:can vessel .e rived at Roiterdam from Macao.:. - - Une of the letters puts the fact of the dismissal of our Embassy beyond the possibility of doubt, by giving a pretty copious extract of the Edict addressed upon the occasion to the Viceroy of Canton. This document is dated the 13th day of the 9th Moon (the sth Seineinber last)•, of the 21st year of the Em perer lira KING. It apprises the Viceroy that the Ambassador horn the British Court had arrived at the port of Tien Sing, where himself and his state were invited to a banquet by the Governor of the port. There they did not observe the usual ceremo-1 nies. At Thom Cheu they promised to observe the ceremonies of bending the knee, and the inclinations of the head to the earth. From thence they passed to Y Juan, a stammer palace of the Emperor. The Emperor ascended the throne to receive them ; but they excused themselves from seeing the Emperor, on the plea of indisposition. In consequence of this event, the Emperor immediately ordered the return Of the Embassy to Their country. He considered, however, that the Ambassador was to blame for being wanting in respect to him, after his King had sent him stn long a distance, and over such extensive seas, to convey to the Emperor his letter, and to offer him his gilts,, by which he certainly evinced an intention that this Ambassador should revere the Emperor, and treat him with respect. He t:lought, therefore, that the presents ought got be rejected altogether, otherwise the Emperor would also he de viating from the fundamental principle of shewing kindness to /sego kingdoms. On this consideration the Emperor was pleased to select the least and most trivial of the gilts, which consisted of four maps, two pictures, and ninety-five prints. These were received to do the British King a favour and kindness. In return, the Emperor give to the King one Pai (I), andluou C/su (2), four large purses, and eight small ones. They were intended to thew the King of England his sells; of the fundamental rule " lieu leo P. /al" (3). The Ambassadors were very contented and thankful, and also sheweJ the appearance of tepentatsce a• al tear. They had since proceeded to Thom Cheu. The Edict then directs the Viceroy of Canton to give them a banquet ott their arrival there, and to say to them— " You had little fortitude. You arrived at Corn Mew (4),. and could not look in his celestial face. Our great Emperor Mai compassion on your King, who has evinced his candour in ail ttttt mg our good government. Wherefore, the Emperor has agreed to receive the smallest gifts of your King, and has re warded him with precious things of much value. Yea ought to be thankful for his celestial goodness, and return with all haste to your country, as your King wishes, aid • ttttt re the linen. tips' of your benefactor. The articles not received shall be embarked with aU security . and care, without Injury or loss."— If, after this warning, the Ambassador beg of you the favour of accepting the presents not received, only say—" We have the czpress decree of the Emperor, and are not bold enough again to Offend his sense of hearing, and with these words reject their application—Revere this." In addition to this Edict, which was made public, it was supposed that the Viceroy had received secret instructions that the vessels belonging to the Embassy should be strictly watched, wherever they might put into, on their return from the Yellow Sea. The effects of this jealousy were first manifested towards the General Hewitt, which arrived some time before the Alceste and Lyra. Upon her arrival at Second Bar, she was surroun ded by junks and war boats, and it was intimated to Captain Campbell, that until further orders he was to have no intercourse with the shore. Not withstand. ing this injunction, Captain Campbell contrived to proceed loco:Rita to Canton to coniult with Mr. Met „calf, who lost no time in writing to the Hopp° of the Customs, as well as to the Viceroy of Canton. In stead of a. direct reply in writing. conformably to the regulation agreed to after the late dispute with the Authorities at Cantos, a verbal answer was returned torough the Linguist is the service of the English. The Genthmen of the Factory remonstrated against this proceeding, but the Viceroy refused to have any communication with them, mad referred them to the merchants; thus reverting to the same system which led to the late misunderstanding. The Factory, baf fled in every effort to procure an etplanation, direc. ted Captain Campbell to proceed to Whampore, in defiance of any opposition on the part of the war. boats. He was instructed, however, not to fire with shut unless it became absolutely necessary. The Man f darine, upon learning the determination of Captain Campbell to force his way, suffered him to proceed to Whampoce without any interruption. •In revenge, however, for this insult to their authority, they pre. Tailed on the merchants to refuse a cargo to the ves sel. In the hope of obtaining one for her, and upon the refusal of the Officen of Government to hold any comnunication with the British, , a deputaiion of Commanders marched into the City, and presented a petition to the Viceroy, at his wilace. The petition was received; but pest day the Compradere and two Linguists in the service of the British were sewed and conveyed to the City, on a charge of having shewn the English their way to the Palace. They were dreadfully tortured for this offence, and chastised with the bamboo, until they were at the point of death l'he Compradore was still detained in pntion ; but as he was a person of great trust in the Factory, having in charge the receipts of the Treasury, every exertion Was making at the date of the last accounts to obtain his release. This treatment of the Compradore and Linguists must place the Factory in a very embarras sing situation, as it will deter any of the natives from in future entering into their service. The Viceroy continued to repel! all attempts to reilew a direct in tercourse with the British ; but he at length conde scended to intimate, through the merchants, that he would permit the General Hewitt to load, it Captain Campbell would wait until the arrival. of Lord Am herst, and consent to carry back the rejected presents. It appears that prior to the attack upon the Alceste (I) Pal is a precious stone, of a white colour, in length about a yard and a half, in which there is a flower in the shape of a human bean. It is otteu given by Mandarins to the Emperor, and vice yam, on any prospeoes event. (V) lzcou Chu is a circular ornament, formed of 108 precious steam, which is put on the breasts of the Mandarins when they appear before the Emperor. (3) Meanbig " receive little, and give much;" a doctrine of Comucius, always observed by his Imperial Majesty!! (4) A gate of the ball In front of which the it.mperor sits. ' by the forts in the Bogue (of which we ism already' given the particulars) Captain Maxwell had sustained an attack at the intermediate station of Cheri• Pee. The forts there tired aver the war-boati upon the Al ceste.r. but the compliment was returned with such effect, that they were speedily reduced to silence. — The subsequent affair with the forts in the Bogue lasted forty minutes. It was rumoured at Canton that the Chinese Ministers had been dismissed in great di.grace. The reason assigned by sonic was, their not having sooner apprized the Emperor of the re luctance of Lord Amherst to conform to the ceremo• ties practised by foreigners at the Chinese Court. By others it *as attributed to their not having informed him of the result of the Nepaulese war until the arri• val of Lord Amherst, one great object of whrse mis sion was supposed to be tke refnoval of any alarm that mig!)t have prevailed at the Caton of Pain from the extension of our conquests to the.borsters of terri tories formerly tributary to the Chinese, awl to the sovereignty of which they still lay claim. SPAIN. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MADRTD, FEB sc. The affairs of Valencia have been put to rest, in consequence of several persons having beets itnpri soned, eight hung, and others taken to flight. The informer against the patriot, RECHAR, who, it wi!l be remembered, was hung in this City, last year, met with his death by an unknown hand, on the night of the 18th instant, the anniversary of the day on which he lodged his informatioa. He was murdered, and on the mowing of the 19th his head was found stuck on a stake in the public square, with the following r l inscription under it Debt I pay to the hero Kr.- CHAR and his companions, sacrificed through my traitorous denunciation.'—ln the provinces of Biscay. Santander. and the neighbouring mountains, mutt arrests are daily making; and, according to the ac counts received by last post, the number of prisoners already amounted to more than a hundred persons. Throughout the whole kingdom tLe Givernment has persons in disguise who go about exploring the senti ments of the people, and using great invectives Against the King and his Ministers, as a kind of lure, when those who are not on their guard are sure to be seized the next day. It is impossiole to conceive, much lor,s to describe, how much in itation is increased among All classes within the last tear months. Every one repines at the existing system pursued by Govern ment, and-the numerous arrests revolt the tielings cif every one. The minds of all border on a state of desperation ; aud, indeed, the most serious conse quences are expected." BRUSSELS PAPERS. ANTWERP. MARCH 10. On the 20th of February the Custom-house Officers on the Scheldt began to levy, upon all vessels sailing from ♦ntwerp, a duty which they call droit de to/, notwithstanding all the, treaties. and declaring the navigation of the Scheldt to be tree. This measure has excited extreme discontent at• Antwerp, as such a measure would, if persisted in, ruin the commerce ul this City. If this law (if it be one) is not soon abolished, Antwerp may bid adieu to its commerce" which will go then and fix itself among the happy Dutch. On the 20th February, when this novelty was first introduced. Mr. James, an Englishman, going to England on board the ship Eleonora, Captain Elsdin, was obliged to pay this drat de tot for his baggage, consisting only of old clothes, and linen for his own use. He paid ten florins and a half Dutch money, though he had paid theCuktonr-house duties cn arrival. A bale of goods sent from London to one of our principal merchants, paid 14 francs 10 cents. treight, and 100 French droit de to!. The Director• General of the Convoys and Licenses having been remonstrated with by the Chamber of Commerce upon this duty, has replied, that that 'body must address its complaints directly to his Majesty; meantime the Director has suspended the levying•of the duty, but the Captains are obliged to enter into a written engagement to submit to his Majesty's decision on this head. P.B.—lt is said his Majesty has expressed his dissa tisfaction iu warm terms to the Minister who ordered the levying of this droit de sol. AN I'WERP. MARCH 11.

To day, it is added, that the Prince Royal will come and honour this city, for a short time, with his presence. —Preparations are already making at the Palace to receive him. ISRUSSELS, MARCH ►o. The Officers of Convoys and Licenses at Antwerp have just received orders not to suffer goods of any kind to be landed or embai ked, and not to suffer any vessel to put to sea, till further orders. This measure has been adopted in consequence of a Resolution of the 6th, which orders thy Captains of ships to pro duce those papers which certify they have piisi the droll detol. It they have paid nothing, they must•give security to do so, in case it should'be decided that the duty is to be paid. BRUSSELS, MARCH 12. The last accounts from Germany say, that, : the prices of corn are fallen all over Germany, partly owing to the large supplies coming from the North; and partly to the large quantities which have been hitherto kept back, either through fear or on specula• tion, and which were found to be much mor e com.. , l demble than was supposed. MARCN'l3.—Yesterday a deputation. of the mer chants of the city of Antwerp had the honour to be admitted. to an audience with his Majesty. It pre sented to him the just remonstrances of the merchants of Antwerp against the dpoit S. Pd. which has been levied for some days past by the Bureau of Flushing. 'The King answered in the most gracious m inner, and there is every reason to hope, from the justice of his Majesty, that the abuse which is complained of will be immediately put an rod tn.
