The information with which we have presented our readers on the subject. of Lord Amherst's embassy, is senfir.ned in various particulars. That the Embassy. is unfortunately past all doubt. The hostili ties ta - .voen the war-boats and forts of the Chinese, and the Alt:este frigate, me equally authenticated by the accounts whirh we continue to receive ; but witlare gard to the effeets of these sin;ater occuirences upon cur pa.-iac or commercial intercourse with China,' etibugh there is for the future much to fear, there is nothing positive asserted. It appears, that the English Ambas sador had been, in a manner, drummed out of the domi nions of Chita, by an Imperial Edict of his Majesty Kia King. A letter, brought by a vessel arrived at Rotter dam frarn Macao, contains an abstract of the Edict, which was dated on the sth of last September. Lord Amherst, saitli the Edict, having arrived at the port of Tien Sing, was invited to a banquet by the tiovenior bat his LoriLbip (not much relishing his fare, we pre 'tame) did not seem grateful for the hospitality. At. Thom Cheu, he promised to observe the ceremonies of bending the knee, and inclining the head to the earth ; but passing on to Y Juan, a summer palace of the Eni perces, though Kia King ascended his throne to receive the embassy, the Ambassador, &c. forgot their promised bendings, .anii excused themselves from seeing the Em peror on the plea of being sick. His Imperial Majesty, therefore, ordered them away. Thinking, however, a that as the King of .England hat'. , sent a Minister sc many thousand leagues to see him, and that he had iikcwise prepared for . Kia King's accepanice a number of valuable gifts, it probably was not the intention of his said. Britannic Majesty to show his, Imperial Ma jesty any heinous disrespect, he would graciously con descend to take a few of the least precieus offerings tninstaitted by the King of Eta:land, vie. some pictures, maps, and prints. In return for which, the Emperor bestowed upon the King of England, one Pie Izeou ch'e--fintr large parses, and eight-small once. We are assured that the acceptance of our presents by 'Ws. Im perial Majesty, was merely in oompdiance with a finida mental principle. of Chinese magnanimity, viz. that o!' " showing kindness to petty kiugsloine ;" and that his presents to the British Court cenrespouded with another finalamental feature of his Imperial cnaractcr, of which Kia King was reminded by the Chinese Secretary far Foreign Affairs, namely,.."

Prier to the attack on the Alceste by the forts in the Bogue, she had been fired at by those at Chum Pee, which were immediately silenced. The action at the Bogue lasted forty minutes. By the Foreign Papers arrived this week, it appears the, French Chamber of Thputics have at •lengiti final ly agreed to ths,Biuk , et, by T majority of 47 ; the total expenditure of that custntry ia fixed at about 45 mil lions sterling.

The story originated at Brussels Three thousand of the troops expected from France, are ordered to proceed direct from Calais to Leith, in Scotland. They are aflerwards to proceed westward, to the Glagow district. They will be conveyed. to Leith from Calais m the smacks employed in the trade between Leith and London. Within a few weeks large cargoes of corn have ar rived in the French' ports, principally from the Baltic, but a part from North America. This corn is sent partly to the army of occupation and partly to Piemdy, where the scarcity is the most severe, but above all to Paris, where the Government is collecting large quantities. Recent accounts from Calcutta state, that the season has been unusually dry, and that the rice lands suffer from tho want of rain. The produce of the indigo crop was nat expected to exceed 80,0(X) maunds. Saturday we received the Paris Ptpers of Wednes day : they are barren of itnportant intelligence. Letters from Tripoli speak of commotions in that. Re gency, in which the Day had the headsof five persons cut off.. Paris papers to Friday were received yesterday. The following are extracts : PARIS, MARCH 13.—Letters from Cambray state, that the Duke of Wellington will continue at Paris until all the troops, forming the total of the. draught from the Army of Occupation, have left France. The journey of Count Woronzow• to Paris seems to have for its object to make, if possible, arrangements for em barking 6,000 Russian troops at. Dunkirk, in.order to return to their country.

Upon all permitted articles there is 'to be made, once foi all, counting from the day of their arrival, a remission of the import duties in the follow ing proportions :-Ist, To an Ambassador, Legate, or Nuncio, 3,000 roubles in silver: 2(1,, To Ministers, Envoys, and others accredited to his Majesty, 9,000. roubles; 3d, To Charg'e d'Affiiirs, or Residents were.. dited to the Minister foreign Aflitirs, 1.000 roubles.— But if; after the expiration of ten months, they desire to hare prohibited articles, they must male a special. appliCation. Some apprehensions are entertained of an. interrup tion in the tea trade, in consequence of the failure of the Embassy to China and attack on the Alceste frigate the tea annually imported amounts to from 20 to 30' millions of lbs.; the profit on it is the chief revenue of the India Company, and Government also get three millions by the duty : the .operations of the Chinese war boats against the Alceste was by orders from the Chi-. nese Government. In America the greatest alarm prevals respecting the imports of cotton from the East India possessions.

Tim-cis noquestion that • the East India cottons can be brought to England at a• much cheaper rate than the American : they are import ed • latcly to an extent unprecedented, and every day more extensively used in tha-manufactures.of the coun.- try.- A letter from Brussels contains the following speci men of the malignant spirit which is still prevalent in various parts of France Though the energy of the French Government represses.morc and more the efforts of malevolence, yet the enemies of order still show, from time to .time, how ready they arc to. seize every , opportunity to agitate the public mind. Adviccs from Hanover state, that Atnbassadors are in thture to reside there, and that several of the Poten— tates of Germany have already nominated their Minis. tors to that effect. It is expected that their example will be followed by other States. Foreign Ministers will be received by the Duke of Cambridge as Governor Gene ral of Hanover, to whom they will present their cre• dentials. Upon the fullest consideration of the applications for stopping the distillation of spirits from grain in Ireland, his Majesty's Ministers have detormined to refrain from that measure, heing satisfied that it would create a very trifling saving of grain used .by the lawful•distiller, his stock being nearly complete, but that it would afford the greatest enconragem frauds of smuggling. to illicit distillation, and the The Edinlm.Th Courant says, 't We hear that orders, a have been gii, .to tit up pr o p e r a p ar t ments in Edin burgh Castle ta- , the reception of the stateprisoners, from (;lasgme.• They are expected to-be soon removed."
