A 1111 7-- • ; LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 27, IESB Lord MALMESBURT has done his work well and efficiently. Henceforward, his name and reputa tion will not be merely European. The y will be hailed with enthusiasm iu the New World, mil every citizen in the United States will acknow ledge the candour and fairness of his policy, and the straightfordwardness of the course which be has pursued. Last week Lord PALMERSTON made an attempt —we trust it may be positively his last appear ance for the present session—to fling dirt on his opponents. He, however, took but little by his motion, receiving a complete answer from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. An interrogatory was, however, exhibited last ,night, framed in a very different spirit—one. that was calculated to obtain ami le information on the interesting sub . ject,and to add the weight of the highest living authority on the actual state of the existing law to the course adopted by the British Government. Lord LYNDHURST asked that the correspondence with the American Government, in respect to the right of visitation, should be published. But he, at the same time, delivered what may be almost considered as a judicial judgment, which proved that the unwarrantable acts and assumptions so loudly complained of by our transatlantic brethren, by whom directed or sanctioned, has not yet appeared, save that the preseat Govern ment bad nothing to do with the question, were wholly illegal and unjustifiable. Every writer of any authority ou international law has always declared that no right of search Or visitation existed of a vessel sailing under a friendly flag. If that flag were fraudulently assumed, it could not, of course, protect the mis '‘ creanta by whom it was used ; but the visitors made the search at their own risk. If they were in error as to the character or neutrality of the .• .`al. „ Ps they should be answerable for any damages - or injury sustained. This liability ought to ren -dir ,parties duly careful not to act ou mere sus. pioion, or on false or inaccurate information. Unfortunately, however, in some instances, z-3al has been more perceptible than discretion. Whe tiler the hints come from Whitehill, or tho wirars office, or merely from the Captain's eabifi, they were rather too roughly acted on,i and we can easily conceive the irritation that might be T HIE SIT I.St; I', N N, TMEIS DA Y .....-----....—..----.....-- . ited in the mind of an independent JONATHAN at an unceremonious and unjustifiable visit and scrutiny into his private affairs. ‘ - Vie Cabinet of Washington complained, and \ t hat of St. James's answered p rom p tl y , honour ably, and candidly. Thera was no evasion or subterfuge. The pretended claim was fairly and unequivocally abandoned. The opinions of the law officers of the Crown had been taken, and they were acted on without delay. These opinions have now been confirmed, as we hare already stated, by the highest living authority, and must be recognised as sound and unquestionable law. 1 But the?cnusual candour, the absence of quibbling, on the part of the Foreign Secretary, was some thing really astounding. It has . elicited an ex pression of good feeling on the part of the Ameri can Government, and we may now anticipate thai concessions will be made, and privileges granted, that would never have been obtained bad we adopted the usual- practice of diplomatic menda city and equivocation. We trust the United States and France will prove that their standard:. shall no longer be abused, or permitted to shelter the most nefarious conduct. It is no less for their own honour than for the interests of huma nity that they should do so. Within five years there have been 5,128 either otal or partial shipwrecks on our coast, 2,184 of the former and 2,944 of the latter. In these, 4,148 persons have lost their lives, to say nothing of those seriously injarea, and the money value swallowed up in the insatiable ocean has been 7,500,0001. or 1,500,000 1 . per annum. We have these facts on the high authority of Mr. WILSON, who has brought forward all matters connected with the subject clearly and efficiently, as he i, capable of doing whenever he pleases. He is cer tainly entitled to the highest credit for the zeal and assiduity which he has displayed in this in teresting and important question, and for the manner in which he has brought it forward. Tne Government have also promptly responded to Ihe ap?lication and granted the Commission, which will, we trust, lead to the completion of Harbours of Refuge wherever they may be re sun. quired along our coast. The cost of the harbours recommended by the Committee would, it appears, amount tc 2,500,000 1 .—a large sum, not to be lightly ex pended. But what is offered to the other side of the account ? The interest of that capital would amount to 75,0001., or perhaps 80,0001. per annum. The money losses by wrecks on the coast are 1,500,0001. Of course, some would] still I occur, even under the most favourable circum stances. But we believe that we are more than justified in asserting that at least half of these arise from preventible causes. From 750,0001. to 800,0001. is thus destroyed, literally flung into the sea, which might be saved for the tenth part of the amount. Nor is this all. Between 400 and 500 lives, the majority of them skilful and experienced seamen, are sacrificed in each and every year in the same manner. We forfeit a thousand per cent. on the money cost, and sacri fice 420 victims per annum, to the same shallow, " penny-wise and pound-foolish" policy. Besides, the required 2,500,0001. would not be thrown away. It would merely be transferred from one pocket to another, there would be no diminution of national wealth in consequence of the outlay, although there would be a❑ enormous increase of that very wealth from the results. It would give employment to hardy and energetic labourers, whose money would circulate rapidly in the vicinities in which they were working, increasing the prosperity and the revenue of the country. The most superficial observer must admit that it would be better to have a thousand pounds thus expended than property worth five hundred de stroyed. There are abundant reasons fur the construction of harbours of refuge, even on a more enlarged scale than recommended by the committee. It must, however, be borne in mind that the works are for the benefit of posterity, and that therefore the expense may fairly be added to the national burdens, for which our children and children's children will have to provide. The great problem has been solved. Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD, for twelve successive years the chosen representative of the British metropolis, has been permitted to take the oaths and his seat in the manner and form which he declared to be most binding on his conscience. Posterity will scarcely credit the difficulties which have been raised, the animosities excited, on this simple question. Our descendan! s will certainly not have much cause to vaunt themselves on the wisdom of their ancestors. The ease may be simply stated. It wai deems indispensable to the security of the British Constitution that every memb3r of either branch of the Legislature should swear that he would not support the claims of certain imaginary beings who had no existence ia reruab natures to the British Throne. It was not sufficient that he should profess true allegiance to glean VICTORIA, but he should emphatically repudiate the un known and non-existing . Preteacier should take the LORD'S name in. vain, in the exuberance of his loyalty and devotion to the House of Brunswick. _ _ _ Well, a gentleman of unblemished reputation and enormous wealth. was elected as one of the members of the British Metropolis. The voice of calumny itself could not cast a slander on hi s private or public character, and his fitness for the high position for which he was selected was univer sally admitted. He was prepared to swallow the ridiculous oath on every substantial point, but ho did not approve of the form, which he candidly do eared would not be binding on his conscience. But our sensible .legislators would not permit this plain 'course to be adopted. The House of Com mons would not judge of its own Irivile,g,es, and the Lords were only too anxious to obtain an opportunity of displaying their bigotry and in tolerance. " The matter has at length been settled, after a contest more tedious than that which took place before the walls of Troy. The Hereditary Legis lators have yielded albeit with a bad grace. They have yielded, however, and Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD has already voted in his capacity as member for the City of London, a collision between the co-ordinate branches of Parliament has been avoided, and one of the latest marks of bigotry and intolerance has been I erased from the national statute book.

We have received by extraordinary express, via Marseilles, papers and correspondence from Calcutta to the 18th June, and Hong Kong to the 7th June. The Calcutta Englishman in its editorial com mentary of the 18th June has the following : " The English mail of the 10th of May, and an outline of that of the 17th, reached us within an interval of forty-eight hours. The intelligence has produced a roost painful impression, for it leads to the conviction that whilst the local au thorities are struggling hard to maintain British supremacy and re-establish order, Parliament is influenced by party spirit, and India, her future position and prosperity, are matters of only secondary consideration. We therefore cannot hesitate any longer to impress upon the attention of our readers at home our present position, which will be best understood when we state that whilst the British hold every fortress and place of im portance throughout the disaffected provinces; the country itself may be said to be in possession of the rebels. "Delhi, Agra, Jhansi, Bareilly, Shajehanpore, Calpee, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and Allahabad, are protected by European troops, but our authority scarcely extends beyond the reach of our guns, and the intervening districts are overrun by rebels and budmashes, who move about as they please, marking their course by plunder and destruction of property, and setting at defiance every attempt to restore order and tranquillity. Indigo factories, public and private bungalows, and railway depots have been burned, and we art thankful that these deeds have net been accom panied by the murder of Europeans, though doubt less not for want of inclination on the part of the rebels, but want of opportunities. it will be seen that our troops have again been engaged on seve ral occasions with . the enemy, and, although fit 'each instance perfectly successful, yet the majo rity of the rebels have, as usual, managed tr escape. This, however, can hardly be wondered at, for in the absence of adequate cavalry, and with the dreadful heat of the season, pursuit of the fugitives would have been useless, and in all probability only added to the frightful mortality of our brave men, who fall daily victims to the We are not overstating the fact by men toning, that sun-stroke, heat, and apoplexy, art regularly decimating the several corps engaged is the suppression of the rebellion, an apprehensiou which we have frequently expressed, and which, unhappily, is fully realised. "It was generally hoped that after the fall of Calpee our troops would have had comparative rest, and that campaigning was over until after the rains, our movements being durin g that period confined to such measures as could be carried out by means of our powerful steam flotilla and the numerous gunboats lately built ; indeed, the ar rangements which have been made for accommodat ing the C o mmander-in -Chief and his staff at Allaha bad, confirmed such impression. These the sudden hopes, however, have been disapp ointed by mutiny of the Gwalior troops, who fraternised with the rebels, and assumed the aggressive. It appears that the greater portion of the rebels who escaped from Calpee and Indorkee advanced towards Gwalior, and that their number swelled as they pro ceeded by Bydalgaon and Chulis. The moment news of the advance was received at Gwalior, the Maharajah ordered out his forces, took the com mand in person, and met the rebels near Mortar, which is about two miles from the cantonments. A battle ensued, and ended in the fraternisation of the Maharajah's forces with the rebels, he him- self having to run for his life under the pro tection of the body-guard, which alone re mained faithful to him. The rebels are said to be about 15,000 strong, with a large proportion of artillery and cavalry, and they are headed by the Nawab of Banda, Jhansi, Ranee,, Tantia Topee, Rao Seheb, nephew of the infamous Nana ; Ram Rao Govind, and Luchmun Nana, which latter was formerly the Chief of the Customs in the territory of the Gwalior Rajah. Particular , of this mutiny will be found in another column, and we have only to mention that the Rajah him self has safely reached Agra, where he was received with the salute due to his rank. The task of sub duing the Gwalior rebels devolves upon that ex cellent officer Sir Hugh Rose. His force was try be at Mahone, which is exactly half-way between Calpee and Gwalior, on the Ist instant, and a strong division under Major Macpherson left Calpee on the 2d to join him. The Sipree Brigade was also marching to join him. Sipree and Mahona are equidistant from Gwalior, the one directly south, the other east, so that the rebels will not be able to escape in these directions. To the north is the Chumbul, and a small force from Agra will pre vent them from crossing, so that there is ever) prospect of their being hemmed in and compelled to fight. As, however, the extreme heat must naturally render these movements somewhat sic wel than is desirable, we must not be too sanguine in our expectations of a prompt subjugation of the rebel-, who, pending the advance of our forces, will ga n addieional numbers of men, and, considering the position which they hold, are not unlikely to offer strong resistance. We only trust that the report of Sir Hugh Rose being compelled b 3 illness to res'gn the command into other hands may not prove correct. Of all the mutinies which have taken place in the various parts in India, that in Gwalior ought to have been the last to take us by surprise. Experience has shown that the rebels, whenever discomfited, or, as it may be more appropriately termed, dispersed, shortly afterwards concentrated on some other strong point, and after being driven away from all the strongholds in Oude and Robilcund, it was almost to be foreseen that Gwalior would most likely be their next point of rendezvous. Maharajah Rao Scindiah himself seems to have been under that impression, for he repeatedly applied through the political agent for aid, and it is even said that he went so far as to say that half a regiment of European soldiers would enable him to keep the rebels in check. What reply was given to his application we know not, but the request for aid was not complied with, and What the Maharajah apprehended has occurred.

CONIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta, Englishman, of June 18 ) On the 10th inst. we received our London mail of the tEh May last, per steamer Bstigal, and on the 11th the lectric telegraph via Bambay furnished us with the heads of Fid.itical and commercial accounts from London .1 the 17th May. There is an evident improvement ie ur East India produce markets, and we are led to be lieve that it will be progressive, and not . transient. Vioney was abundant, and there was more inclination tr , inter into operations in produce than for some time past Indigo bad improved in valhe. Large sales had been -ff , cted of China raw silk, at former prices, but in 13.2n .a1s there was nothing doing. Sugar had slightly de :lined. Saltpetre had recovered the previous decline of 1 , . Oil seeds had improved in value; other articles ouch about the same as before: THE PRODUCE MARKET. . Oar export market has shown- some signs of revival, and business to a fair extent has been done in some 0. ,ur favourite articles.

Bleached ;nods, owing to light supplies, are in good poEition and lemand. CHINA. (From Oa Friend of China, June 7.) From this part of the world the news is pithy And exciting. We have to tell of two battles—one victory, the other not unlike a defeat. The vic ory consists in the capture of the forts at the mouth of the Peiho—the other affair, an attack o❑ a camp of braves about a dozen miles, north-east a Canton. Details of each of these matters will be found in separate columns. Our losses in both businesses were severe. Through the explosion of mines, rather than by gun-shot, the casualties at the Peiho exceeded a hundred. At Canton some , ixty were hors de combat from sun-stroke—besides About a dozen killed, wounded, or made pri- soners. In resumption of our usual chronicle of the movements of the Earl of Elgin, and the other Ambassadors, we have now to report as follows. Tan, Governor-General of Millie, having intimated his authority to treat on behalf of the Emperor, was requested to obtain letters of similar purport co those handed by Ei4pu and Keying in the nego tiations at Nankin in 1842. What was the asto nishment of the Ambassadors to learn from the lips of Tan, that Sir Henry Pottinger was imposed upon, and that Keying forged the Emperor's letters of authorisation of which the Eirl of Elgin had sent Tan copies It was the American and Russian Envoys who were told this ; neither the Earl of Elgin nor Baron Gros have yet seen a Chinese Mandarin in the north. It is understood that on learning what Tan said, the French and English Ambassa dors intimated to him that only at Peking would they now treat, and at once demanded a suitable escort. The time allowed for compliance with the request having expired, Admirals Seymour and De Genouilly were requested to see what virtue lay in shells ; and upon this the forts at the en trance of the river were taken. As the despa'ch bearers left the Gulf of Pecheli on the 221 ult., the allied squadron of gunboats was proceeding to Teen-tdn. The Russian and American Envoys appear to have been very useful as "go betwr ens." Less punctilious than the French and English Minis ters, the American at once declared to Tan what it ve,..s his Government wanted ; discussed the details of a new treaty, and only broke off nego tiations when Tau point blank declared that Peking could be no place of residence for officers )f foreign Governments. The particular business f the Russian Eevoy, in his conference with 'Lai (or Ten-teing-siane) is said to have been confine) o the question of boundaries. In reality, how ever, there is no knowing what the Russ is up to. With the aid of the French Artillery, SapperQ, Marines, and seamen, some 600 in all, which 11 tve iust left Hong Kong for the Galf, it is supposed that, after making a demonstration on Teen-tsin, the Admirals will simply hold the points captured, n d maiutain a strict blockade till cool weather sets .n, when, with further reinforcements, we can ad vance on the capital. As for concession from Hien rung until he is thoroughly punished and a prisoner, perhaps, we may not expect it. It is not improbable but next mail will convey to °Europe the commencement of another series of " tales of the rebellion." Under Taiping-wang's Assistant King, Shih-tah-kie, a large force have hreatened, if ere this they have not captured, Niugpo. We are all anxious to see What kind of people these Nanking men will turn out. If as ardent as ever in their iconoclastic propensities and still as Sabbath and Bible respecting as when they were first discovered by the Rattlers, they could not fix their.povernment at a better point; for at Ningpo there is little or no foreign trade, and but little activity b3yond prayer -meeting and mis sionary school-teaching. Should they turn out as good as we expect.they will, the British Govern ment should not, by any means, again permit Sir John Bowring to practise his jesuitical intrigues, and exercise his power in stopping the R rogress of the revolution, as he did at Canton in 1854-55. Certainly the Earl of Elgin is here to keep him in check, but it can be but partially. Trade has been very dull at Canton for some weeks past, and the news from Peking appears more than likely to put a stop to it altogether. Far-seeing Chinese say that in, a few weeks we shall have a difficulty in obtaining provisions, even in Hong Kong, for the Awes are at work now that they know the Emperor's real sentiments. The Government in commission are acting as blindly as ever. A. week or two ago they took off the em bargo on goods moving from the city. In twelve hours 18,000 packages were carried through the gates. This was alarming ; so interdiction again became the order of the day. The expedition in search of braves appears to have been a most ill -managed affair. Mr. Com missioner Parkes had received information from one of his emissaries that tents were pitched some where under the mountains to the north-east of Canton, and about abreast the E barrier, s'y midway between Wl:ampoa and Canton. This in formation being conveyed to Major-General Van Straubenzee, his Excellency de.ermined on a re connaissance. Off, a e.iorditt3 l e, efettittl the General, the French Comraedore, soln other se (the Adjutant-General, Cul. Stephenson, is in Hong Kong we see.) In course one of the temples on the mountain was moiled, and there EVENING JULY 27, if,sg they went to breakfast. Wandering away a little distance from the refectory, ono of the party hap pened to see below the identical tents they were in search of. Such is the story as it has been given to, us by one not an eye-witness. Whether upon this all of them returned to the city (we expect they did) — or, as we were first informed and reported, a de tachment went back for reinforcements—we cannot say. But it is a fact that, with three days' rations, about sundown a 14rge body of men left the city, and to support the movement a Naval Brigade, under Captain Grenfell of the Amethyst, was orga nised. At this point we will let each arm of the service speak for itself. Says a naval friend—" The Naval Brigade was in two divisions-210 men from the Tribune, Amethyst, and Bittern, 150 from the Camilla, Hornet, and Actaeon. The last-mentioned division was under Colville of the Camilla (the only Commander in the Brigade), and left Canton at midnight. In due time they fell in with the other division near the Lancashire Witch, and a landing was effected iu good order. But after that, whew !—Where were the roads ? How ever, on they went, till, when within a mile of the Brave's camp, Grenfell called a halt." Captain G— " would suggest that we went in at a dash" said the lucky ColvilleCommander C—'s sugges ion passed unheeded—again suggested—again dis regarded. One hour, two hours, three mortal hours did that brigade remain stationary, till by and bye the sun took its effect, and down dropped the men, in all, throughout the day, to the number of 18 were they floored, though none fatally. Another suggestion by Commander Colville to go in with a dash meets a re poese of " Go to the rear with your men, sir, and bring up the sick." This was simply to get quit of the importunacy. " More is said, but we shall not quote it.. Suffice it, that by five p. m. the Naval Brigade were back in the Eastern Parade Ground .; they had hardly had a fair shot at the foe." Now for the letter of a friend in Vother arm : " From all accounts the first day must have been an exceedingly pleasant one ; the party arriving at the point intended before the heat of the day had fairly set in. The locality fixed upon was exceed ingly picturesque—a, large though almost deserted joss house, in a well wooded and watered valley, some few hundred feet beneath the highest peak of the_ ' White clouds.' In spite of the intense heat of the sun, the strength of the breeze ren dered the atmosphere, (specially in the shade, very refreshing to men who had for some five months been cooped up inside the walls of Canton. " In the course of the forenoon an intrenched en campment was discovered about five miles distant, containing about 50 or 60 large ridge tents ; this the General at once decided to attack ; an exploit, how ever, as the rcsult will show, easier in anticipation than in execution. " Dur ing the afternoon we heard in Canton that Col. Holloway, with 500 marines, 50 artillerymen, and two field-pieces, had received orders to advance in a direction about midway between the Gene ral's position and the river, while the gunboats were to land somewhere between Canton and Whampoa, the 70th N. 1., and 300 men of the Naval Brigade, it being hoped that by this arrangement the Chinese would be surrounded and cut to pieces. " Vain hope ! Gunboats grounded ; the two field-pieces stuck fast, or were kept back by some impassable obstacle, and the vast majority of the troops lost their way among the paddy fields. " A strong force of French, however, the Gene ral's party, and a portion of Colonel Holloway's force got into communication at last, and shortly afterwards the Chinese opened the ball by a simul taneous discharge of eight or ten large jingalls from the neighbourhcod of a village on the left hand side of the line of march ; our men thrown out in skir mishing order soon drove the enemy (some 300, the Chinese themselves said) away. For the time only, as I regret to add that Doctor Turnbull, passing the same way on a pony a short time afterwards, was captured and decapitated, though the trunk was recovered, and received such burial as it was in the power of our men to give. An orderly, with a dooley and four of the military train likewise dis appeared in the same place." SEIZURE OF THE PEIHO FORTS. (From the long Kong Register, June 1.) " We are indebted to an officer of the United States frigate Mississippi for the following intei ing account of the capture of the forts at the mouth of the Peitio. The United States steam frigate Mississippi reached this on Sunday evening, the 30th ult., having left the Gulf of Pechelee on the afternoon of the 22d. She brings news of the com mencement of hostilities. As negotiations had, as was to be expected, totally failed, Lord Elgin placed the affairs in the Admiral's hands, and he proceeded with his usual promptitude to bring them to an issue : " The mouth of the Peiho is defended by forts on each bank, about a mile and a half from the upper edge of the bar, which averages from a half to three-quarters of a mile in width. Beyond this and about four miles and a half distant lay the larger ships. On the evening of the 19th all preparations were made for the attack by the gun-boats and ships lying inside the bar. At 7 a.m. Captain Hall, of the Calcutta, puled in and desired the forts to surrender, telling them if the flags were hauled down by 9 a.m. the farts would be taken possession of peacefully ;—if the flags were not hauled (I , wn, firing would commence and the forts be captured by fcree. Nine o'clock came, but with no sign of surrender, and another hour was given them The two admirals were on beard the gunboat S:aney, with the English and French pennants flying. Toe Certnorant, which was the leading. Gip of the attack, had been lying close up to the forts on th right banks of the river and th people of the forts e Lad been observed training their guns .on her At 10 a.m. the flag of battle was hoisted by all the gunboats arid steamers along the line, with the exception of the Cormorant . , whieh ran up the French flag almost at the came moment running her anchor up to her bows, and getting under weigh. On her deck were only to he seen three solitary individuals—the Captain, Saumarez, the master conning the ship, and the steersman, the men lying down at their quarters. She gradually edged over towards the fort on the right bank, running past them beautiful style, fired upon as she passed each fort witlaiut returning a gun. During her passage she got hulled 10 times ; but, owing to closing so much on the forts, their shot for the most part passed over her with out doing damage. After passing them she ran over to the left shore, and, running into the mud with her broad side to the forts on that Fide, commenced the action. She was followed by two French gunboats and the Nimrod, which latter vessel came to the assistance of her comrade. The different gunboats took up their stations, and as they fell into them opened fire with precision. After about an bones cannonading, to which the Chinese reply was quick but ineffective, the Slaney, with the Admirals on board, ran teraight up through the fleet, towing the attacking columns under Sir F. Nicholson of the Pique, and Opos sum towing another party under Captain Hall. The French supplied an attacking party for the forts on the right bank. The boats pushed off and the men were soon on shore. Then followed the usual scene—the Chinese bolted, and the French attack being made very quick, a mine was sprung, which caused them coma thrable loss. The forts on the left bank were taken by the British without much lose, although mines were also exploded on their advance, by the bursting of one of which the carpenter of the Calcutta and two seamen were killed. In about an hour and forty minutes we were in possession ef all the forts at the mouth of the river. The Admiral then proceeded on beard the Cormorant, while Admiral de Genouilly went on board one of his gunboats. At ,this tirue a mass of flames from a numbe;r of fire-rafts was observed drifting round a point of land higher up ; by some mismanagement the rafts were allowed to go too far over to the right bark, and there the leading rafts speedily grounded, while the others were helped into a position by the boats of the fleet. Had they taken the right direction, the Cormorant would have had a nar row squeak, as she was rather tight in the mud. Sir Michael, leaving the Cormorant, returned to the Slaney, but Admiral de Genouilly continued on board his gun boat. The Slaney and Cormorant, with other gunboats, steamed up to attack a large fort mounting 31 gun., situate round the bend of the river, while the Nimrod was left to direct her fire at the fort over the spit of ground. In a short time this fell into our hands, and in ahem two hours and a halt from the commencement of the attack the ac ion had ceased by the capture of all the forts. " We are happy to Fay the lot's on our side was very slight. Orly one officer, the master of the Opossum, .being severely wounded by a shot in the side and thigh. We have no exact or reliable Particulars of the loss on the British side, but do not bear that it exceeds 25 killed and wounded. Our allies, we are sorry to say, owing to the explosion a a mine, suffe tad more severely, 15 men, it is said, being killed and 40 men wounded ; some of the latter dreadfully burnt and torn by the explosion. Among the killed are four lieutenant?, One, the first of the Fusee, was cut in two by a shot ; another had Lis dap knocked off by a shot, on which be exclaimed —a' I act lucky to-day,' but immediately fell down dead, Without the t uatta of any tenon': (at hie, pet son. "The Ciiinc,:e Etack to .heir gut 1.1.“.;.61 Lilly, an there were the usual acts of selisa.crifice. One blue button Mandarin was found by the French in the fort which they bad captured, dead, beside a gun, having cut his throat ;' and in the assault on the highest fort of 31 guns, a mandarin jumped cut and charged the party single-handed. The officers did all they could to pre vent him being killed, but one of the men on the flanks, at some distance, shot him through the neck and killed him, to the regret of those near, who admired his brave Action. About 98 guns were captured, 68 of which were brass or composition metal. Some were eight-inch guns, but we believe they had none of the usual appliances of sight. The lots of the Chinese is supposed to have beer, very heavy, as the firing was very accurate, the shells eureting with great precision in the embrasures. The Chinese fired grape, and even attempted shells, but, tie their lose was only a piece of common slow match, the shell generally burst close to the gun. "Next day, the 21st, a Mandarin went off to the Russian Ambassador, who has been ac`ing in conjunc tion with Mr. Reed, as a mediator bet Ween the parties. Count Pontiatine went with him to the French Admiral, but it was some time before they could persuade him to g and see Sir Michael ; eventually he did so, and ached for three days' truce. Sir Michael told him be could not give him an hour's truce, as they bad give': plenty of time, and that he certainly should at 011C ,- proceed to Tien-tsiu* with all his force. The unfor tunate Mandarin went away considerably crest-fallen. We understand the Admiral intends to do aloe the same as at Centon, securing he river at different points by anchoring a steamer. The river to Tien-tiii is of sufficient depth for the largest ships now over the bar, but above Tien-tsin to Pekin, a distance of eight , miles, the water is said to be very shallow, boats draw ing more than five feet not being able to ascend. "The Admiral did intend to send do wn the Fury with his despatches, but as the Missiesippi was compellee to go to Hong Kong, a passage was most politely offeree to Commander Beamish, who goes home on his promo tion for the Canton affair, carryirg the Admiral's de spatches. Lord Guildford, who had also received hie promotion for Canton, also came down in her to tali , command of the Hornet—we understand. It is ease that it Ras Lord Elgin's intention to push on at once te Pekin, en only in that city negotiate, for the effective carrying out of which idea he has sent down for reinforce menu'. Where they are to come from is by no means clear, looking to the safety of the colony and the Canton garrison. Her Majesty's 59 h are under crders, and perhaps the 77th Bengal Native Infantry, or the other native corps here, might be spared ; but it is bard to say what the summer may produce of sickness in the Cantor• ga-rison, and few of the foreign inhabitants here wil doubt that although we get everything we desire a Pekin we have still a good that of fighting to do at Can ton and its neighbourhood. At present we are, not t , put too mild a point on it,' besieged in Canton, and be yond our lines do not hold a ft) , t of ground ; so mud} so that even Ronan is not included in the lines, and the people who live there do so at their own risk, in th hope that the Chinese owners of the properties renteo by f.)reigners will give the latter due warning, which, after all, may be found s very rotten reed to lean upon." " * This is the city said to be about 37 miles direct over land from the mouth of the Peiho, but at least 65 miles by water." THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THI4; BRAVES. Our previous advices from the Peiho came dow to the 29th of April. At that date an Imperia Commissioner had entered the field of negotiation and the result appeared problematical. Betwee' the 30th April and the middle of Nlay, say a fort night, there is a hiatus in the details. In substance. however, as a friend writes us—" A point of punc tilio arose which neither Lord Elgin nor the Chi use would yield ; and quite right was the deter ruination taken by Lord Elgin and Baron Gros for from ono concession they would have been led to another, until at last the nine prostration would have been demanded—and—what next ?' It was about the middle of May, then, that the ambassadors found further attempts at peace. ful argument futile ; and so left the business o coercion in the proper hands. By Wednesday, the 19th, arrangements were completed, and the following vessels inside the bar. French gunboats : Avalanche, Dragonne, Durance, and Fusee. Eng lish ; Bustard, Cormorant, Firm, Leven, Nimrod, Opossum, Slaney, and Staunch ; in all a round dozen (Coromandel as Hospital.) A little after seven on the morning of the 20th, Captain Hall (flag to Admiral Seymour) pulled in to the nearest of the three forts built within the last few years on either side of the Peiho, and de manded peaceable surrender. Could such a thin{. be I The answer was prompt, Certainly not ! " Take time to consider," said Captain Hall— " these bulldogs of ours are terrible fellows—you'l rue it if you determine on fighting. Take an hour, take two, take three—say nine o'clock." " Come on," was the answer : " Come one, tome all ! Captain Hall returned dispirited. All humane men are dispirited when they think of the probable effusion of blood ; and Captain Hall has now seen too much of the prowess of the Chinese not to know that when once we commence our shell and rocket practice the miserable natives have no chance ; the old picture of a skeleton with his scythe mowin, down all before him gives the aptest simile c what follows. Nine o'clock came—no sign of yielding—nom was expected—Ten ! Off ! Like a greyhound frou the leash away stated the British de,patch-boa Cormorant. It was high water, and there was deptt for her close in to the nearest fort flying the Freud colour at the fore ; on she dashed—passed the firs fort, receiving on the way the whole blast of he: metal, fortunately with but slight casualty—tw; wounded and a dozen shot-holes—and ran into th mud with her broadside off the next. Next afro the Cormorant went the Fusee and Dragonne, French boats, then the Opossum, and afterward the Nimrod. The Fusee was fearfully mauler, whilst Mr. Prickett, Master of the Opossum, was struck by a grape shot, which took away parts of one side and thigh. The other gunboat each tcok up positions as directed, only the Slaney remained behind, the flagship of the two Adarir4l- , One hour was given for the battering, and the pre cision with which the Allies threw their shell it., spoken of by American and Russian spectators at. excellent indeed. The hour up, on went the Slar,4y, towing boats from the ships outside, with lauding parties from the Audaceuse, Phlegethon, Primauget, Calcutta, Furious, Fury, and Pique ; one portion of the English blue-jacket under Captain Sir F. Nicholson of the last-men tioned ship, the senior post captain present taking the fort on the right bank—Captain Hall, with another section of the beats, the fort on the left Tue business of driving the Chinese out was s over. Cunning rascals, they Lad laid trains fo heavily charged mines, and direful were the con sequences to our intrepid allies the French, no less than fifty-eight of whom were blown into the air ; four Lieutenants, one of them first of the Fusee, and eleven men, being among the killed, The Eng lish had twenty-five killed and wounded ; the only officer among the former being a carpenter (of the Fury). On the Nimrod, Slaney, Opossum, and a French gunboat (name not mentioned) devolved the task of capturing the fort highest up. Half an hour's bombardment was sufficient to induce its deser tion. By a quarter past 12 the whole affair was over. Eighteen hundred Europeans had driven out 10,000 of the elite of the Chinese army. The weight of metal, however, was all on our side, saying nothing of experience at working.. The two lower forts contained_„ about 70 guns, the upper one 30—in all 100 ; two-thirds of them being of brass or composition metal, valuable as prizes. In a letter which we have seen, the writer says— " The way in which Saumaurez ran the gauntlet, took up a position in the mud, and played his metal, was the admiration of every one. Admiral Ri g ault de G was very wild with the leading man of the French gun-boats, and, when it was all over, rubbed him up one side and down the other, from the Slaney, in an extraordinary way. Why, the Cormorant has silenced the fort, sir, before you got abreast of her,' was one of his expressions ; aid she had, too, or nearly, not only before the French, but before any of the other boats got up to her." Under date of Thursday (says the Friend of China, of the 7th of June), a friend writes us from Canton : Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, a party kft in search of braves. The result is as follows :—They f“und, about five miles to the northward and eastward of tbf White Cloud Mountains, a large encampment r;f these "inferior animals," ard deeming it not prudent to attack them at once with the salad force they had, despatched a company back into the city for 2,000 more. These left the city last evening, at seven o'clock, with three days' rations, with what result we shall hear by and bye.
