Vtt LONDON: Tuctlsiuy, JUNE 3, 1841. The Commons met last night after the Whitsun holi days. In the course of the evening two petitions were presented complaining of bribery at the Nottingham election. Mr. T. DuscortnE complained of the Clerk of the Peace of Hertfordshire not having furnished the copy of the register of the electors which had been ordered by the House. Instead of complying with the order he had sent a letter stating that it would take three weeks to copy the regi:oer, and - asking at whose expense it was to be done. Tit thecourse of the conversation which ensues!, it .was gen et Iy- gweed that the clerk of the peace was bound by attend to such orders, and that the Magistrates of the comity must pay- the' expenso out of the county rates. The elerk'„was omered to tittend at the Bar on next Mondli - ;,Unicss th • coil-was in the meantime sent in. The a ltenrited debate on the- No-Confidence motion vas resumed by Mr. ergeartt TAFOrIiD. He charac terised GRAHAJeg invective against his former friends 04 \ k i ikko 7leri party , warfaro. Sir JAMES he , delk;tiiiM s aLnkOirinirdls.uded by those, casting' „longing :nftice, strength he had assistrtt 'title. if the Right honourable Baronet • fir - '2lli,ng but the Ministers he would soon . ilt•O resist his Orange associates and Lll74iist adinirers. The Eon. and Learned Gentle kended the .linisters..for not having succeeded in opererwr4-0.-verame ''mrignuor vor" hing Church-rates, praised their adminrstratiOn of 46he• affairs re-ingtant - aia reperr e - d -ttiO tattnn - TifffiF To"; ries that they bad done nothing to ameliorate the Poor laws, by observing that the Tories had neither done nor promised anything. He boasted of- the hist office reformi Which he said, was the Ministers' own, and he . added that the coun was indebted to the Whig Attorney-General for the aboli tion of arrest for debt. The Learned Sergeant vigorously assailed the Tories, and as vigorously defended his friends, and concluded a spirited speech by assuring the Ministers that they might safely appeal to posterity for its judgment of their conduct. Mr. HODGSON HINDE considered it to be his duty to vote for the motion of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Mr. GILLON said he had never given a vote with greater satisfaction than the one he should give in favour of the Ministers, and he would fearlessly on that vote claim the renewal of the confidence of his consti tuents. Mr. J. GRATTAN rested his support of the Ministers on the ground of their good government of Ireland. Lord C. HAMILTON took the other side, and explalr. ed that he should vote for Sir R. PEEL. Sir G. STAUNTON approved of the conduct of Mini rt rs, particularly their foreign policy, and would oppose the resolution. Sir W. JAMES, without saying much, except alliuling to the use of clap-traps, at which Sir ROBERT PEEL was not offended, gave his support •to the resolution. He reproached the Ministers with using the cry of cheap bread, when they knew it meant low wages. Mr. WALLACE retorted on Sir W. JAMES, and car ried the war, which the Hon. Baronet had begun, hotly into the Tory camp. Mr. CRESS WELL made a speech to reconcile himself, if possilile, to his constituents. He referred to the educa tion scheme of Ministers, and some other abandoned measures, and asked why we were now to have a men sure introduced by the Cabinet which the head of the Cabinet two years ago had described as the act of a madman. Dr. LUBHINGTON retrieved his vote and speech on the Sugar Duties, by delivering an effective speech against the Tories, and in favour of the friends with whom he had acted all his life, and by declaring that he meant to vote against the motion. The Right Hon. and Learned Gen tleman seemed to bear in mind that he had reached the close of his Parliamentary career, and alluded to his hope that though he had zealously opposed a large political party, he should not on quitting the House, leave behind him one personal enemy. Sir W. FOLLETT made a clever speech for his party. He referred to the agitation which he said - Ministers were endeavouring to get up, but he said that they had much overrated their power. He contrasted the conduct of Sir R. PEEL, when in office in 1835, with the conduct of the Ministers, and gave. much praise to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Sir WiLLiAm FOLLETT'S speech was long and elaborate. Sir G. GREY replied to Sir W. FOLLETT, but the Right Hon. Gentleman was evidently labouring under a violent hoarseness and cold, which deprived him of his voice. His speech, therefore, was only partially heard, and seemed not to be nearly so effective as his speech on the Sugar Duties. Sir GEORGE dwelt on the fact, that Sir ROBERT PEEL had not informed the Honse on what principles he proposed to take office. Mr. HANDLEY wound up the debate for the evening in a speecb full of blows, every one of which told heavily on the Tories. He surprised his friends probably by the steady support he gave them ; but he surprised them still more by the severe manner in which he retorted on Sir J. GRAHAM, and exposed Sir R. PEEL. The consis tency of the former, and the candour of the latter, were shattered to pieces under the sarcastic blows of the " heavy Lincolnshire agriculturist." Sir JAMES GRAHAM was neatly demonstrated by his own words to be a traitor, and Sir ROBERT as neatly con victed of intending to deceive the agriculturists, and of being unworthy of their confidence. If he were to be turned, he said, out of Lincolnshire for the vote he meant to give, he should lose his seat because he was 'true to his principle; but Sir J. GRAHAM had been kicked out of Cumberland because he was false to his. Quoting a speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S at Carlisle, in which he described the Tories, with whom he was now sitting and voting, as• men utterly unworthy of confidence and the enemies of liberty, Mr. HANDLEY said he should follow its doctrine, which was that he would act basely if he deserted the friends with whom he had acted all his life and united himself to a party with whom he accidentally agreed on one point. What would Sir R. PEEL think of him if he were to set himself down a Tory for the rest of his life ? Would he not despise him ?—though that was a question he might not like to answer with Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM sitting beside him. Of Sir R. PEEL'S speech on the Corn-laws last year, to which the Right Hon. Baronet had referred the House for his principles, Mr. HANDLEY declared that it was so full of reservations (and his Tory Corn-law friends agreed with him) that it bound the Eight Hon. Baronet to nothing. He had told them, however, in words of ominous import, that the prosperity ,of manufacturers, rats a better support for agriculture than the Corn-law.. Sir B, PEEL'S skeleton of a sliding-scale with an unmentioned pivot might mean anything, and he wanted to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet would maintain the present Corn-law. The Right Hon. Baronet gave no answer, and he would not pledge himself to the details. Mr. GLADSTONE had lately proposed a scale which would probably be adopted by Sir ROBERT, and that gave the agriculturists a less protection by ls. 4d. than the low fixed duty pro posed by Ministers. The Right Hon. Baronet said he had explicitly stated his opinions on the Suffrage and the Ballot, but he had said nothing of the Charter. Did he mean to preserve the treaty of Nottingham, and maintain that time-serving alliance which was no honour 'to either party. We have adverted to only a few of the very good points which Mr. HANDLEY .made. They went so deeply into Sir JAMES GRAHAM, that we believe the Cumberland Zephyr—as Mr. HAND LEY called Sir JAMES—will not again assail the " heavy" men of Lincolnshire. We may add, for the information of our distant readers, that both these gentlemen are much above the ordinary dimensions, and that Mr. HANDLEY adds to great height still greater bulk ; and Sir JAMES, who had sneered at the heavy Lincolnshire men, is himself both square built and portly. The debate was adjourned at half-past twelve. Mr. CRESSWELL afterwards wished to bring on the Danish Claims, but the House would not allow him, and he again postponed the subject. After transacting some other business, the House ad journed at a Quarter before Two o'Clock. The crowded state of our columns prevented us from sooner noticing an article in the Standard of Tuesday, written with an evident intention of de preciating the gallant exploits of Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER during the glorious campaign on the coast of Syria, and also with a view to em broil Sir CHARLES with Admiral STOPFORD and the other officers who shared in the toils, dangers, and successes of the expedition. We have care fully examined all the insinuations thrown out against Sir CHARLES NAPIER, both by Sir Ro- BERT STOPFORD in his indiscreet, speech at Malta, and by the Tory journals, daily and weekly, here; and we protest we never read or heard of any more utterly frivolous—more indicative of the passion of malice prepense in the individuals advancing them. It is not stated in any quarter that the Gallant Commodore im puted blanie to Admiral STOPFORD, or to any other naval commander in the Mediterranean. It is not even whispered that Sir CHARLES in ' sinuated either at Liverpool or in London, or elsewhere, that the plans of the Admiral were defective, and that had others been adopted re sults still more glorious would have followed. The charges against_ amount simply to this : T Si h r at C Ili an tn CHARLES NAPIER certain speeches made by him at Liverpool, ester, and in London, on his return' from the Syrian expedi tion, he neglected to assure an incredulous British public (staking his reputation of course for the correctness of the fact) that Sir R. STOP FORD Was; the greatest of all naval cotnmanders living or dead—that DRAKE, BLAKE, and NE L . : ' sos were hardly fit to be bis cabin-boys. As Sir I C JJ ARLES did not say anything of 'the kind,-'we pireoune he did not think so highly of the tranr.- centivit abilities of the Admiral, and as there are quarters lit which moderate praise is regarded as the severest cenfure, we think he acted with a .manly prudence in saying as little of the Adiniral as: was consistent with a high respect for his per son ,and private character. With so warm an eulogist as Captain BOXER to sing his praises, Admiral SToprostp can need no second laureate. But, in addition to insinuations calculated to create an ill-feeling between CDnimodore NAPIER and Admiral STOPFORD, the Standiard ventures upon a few assertions relative to the Gallant Commodore's conduct in the course of the RAMP pa . • ' which we cannot pass over in silence , g b, the order in which they occur 'We take them .... ctandard:— in the colum ns o f t he veracion7.: At or S n id o o o n t i li t n is it a of no h t i o s ri ) n di u d s f n a o c t t e t n h t a e t r t t h h e at G fo a r ll t a r n e . s: . ~ ri rml. 11l s until ! the gates were opened to him by, ilicrmaiines and ieameli .- wlt - whartsbl/4116Tfoi - se - gsiOn or it. Now this, instead of being a "notorious fact,'' is a notorious falsehood. A t the storming of S!-- don Sir CHARLES NAPIIIt was actually at the head of the Marines who forced the gateS, - and *as one of the first to enter the town. We speak from the testimony of an eke-witness who was near the person of the Gallant Commodore. So much for falsehood the first. The Paris Papers of Tuesday have reachci us, hilt they contain no political news of slightest interest, with the exception of the fo:".- lowing paragraph from Galignard's Messenger, which forms the subject of various commentaries in all the French Journals:— • We understand that the signatures to the Protocol of Lon don have been postponed, because Lord Palmerston, in accord ance with the Russian Ambassador, has refused to sign the act until Mehemet Ali shall have accepted the hatti scheriff the Sultan, which has been sent to him for that purpose. This information is said to have been received here on Friday last, from the Austrian Ambassador. in London by a courier, who continued his route on the same day for Vienna, with the des patches containing it to Prince Metternich. It appears on the other hand, by the last despatches received by the French Go vernment from Alexandria, that no doubt is entertained of the unconditional adhesion of the Pacha to the hatti scheriff. Whilst at Acre, although he rendered good service, he took up a position, in his too great eagerness to have the victory all to himself, which prevented one of the finest ships in the fleet, the Revenge, commanded by Captain Waldegrave, from using her guns. The position which Commodore NAPIER took up at Acre was the position which, as Comman der of the leading ship, he was entitled to take— namely, abreast of the first large battery. The Battle of the Nile afforded him a glorious pre cedent, as in that engagement the leading Brit ish vessel anchored alongside the headmost ship of the French line. What is said about the Revenge being prevented from using her guns, is a sheer calumny. So far is that from being the case, that when the Gallant Commodore saw that the Admiral had neglected to order in the Revenge to support him, he made a signal to Captain WALDEGRAVE to ad vance, which that brave officer did in a most masterly manner, taking up a position a-head of the Powerful. The Standard is of course aware that Admiral STOPFORD'S plan of attacking Acre was with three line-of-battle ships, three steamers, and a number of troops. Had this plan been carried into effect the expedition would have proved a miserable failure. The country need not be told whose influence caused it to be aban doned. - The National has a very severe attack on M. HUMANN the Minister of Finance, whom it taxes, with gross partiality in the collection of the revenues, and gross favouritism in the dis tr►bution of official appointments. _ _ These Journals state that the KING would have pardoned DARMES but for the Ministers who in a Cabinet Council insisted upon the execution of the sentence of the Court of Peers, as a warning to others. Two numbers of the Feuille de Douai have just been seized, for having announced the false news, that Louis Philippe was going to submit to the process of re-election as King, and for having accompanied it with reflections in which the lawyers think they see a political offence. Letters from Madrid in the Memorial Bordelais contain the following paragraphs :—The Marshal Duke of Saragossa (Palafox), has been appointed by the Regent to the post of General-in-Chief of the Royal Guard. General Chacon, late Minister of War, is appointed Com mander of the Military division of Madrid. General Van Haien, Commander of the Military Division of Catalonia, is raised to the rank of Marshal of Spain. Major- Generals Concha and Bolcali, are arised to the rank of Lieute nant-Genera!s.— Gazette de France. The Moniteur of this morning publishes in its official part a Report addressed to the King by the Minister of the Interior. This Report, which ails more than ten columns of the Moni teur, gives the summary of the wishes of the Councils-General in their session of 1840. The Minister says, in conclusion, " that he has decided that all the circulars in which the Minis ter of the Interior shall ask the advice of the Councils of the departments on general questions concerning the administra tion, should b e p re p are d a t lea s t a m on th beore the presumed opening of the session, and that they shall be printed in vaffi cient numbers to be transmitted to each of the members of the Councils."—Le Constitutionnel. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 1. We have nothing but the glory of the results to oppose to those who delight in whispering about that Sir CHARLES NAPIER was not the most blindly obedient of subalterns. Were Sir CHARLES NAPIER of so accommodating and submissive a nature as Captain BOXER, for example, and in the habit of having no will or understanding but that of his immediate superior in command, neither BEYIRUT, nor StnoN, nor ACRE would have yet fallen, and we would by this time have been in the thick of as " pretty a scrimmage" with 'France as we ever were under the Republic or the Empire. Dis obedience of orders—since the truth must be told—drove IBRAIIIM PACHA out of Syria, saved the Prince of the Mountains from being utterly destroyed, the battalions which NAPIER had passed in the rear of the Egyptian Commander from being cut in pieces, and, in fact, the loss of all the British forces. Pity it was that NAPIER'S disobedience did not extend so far as to carry into effect his own brilliantly-conceived plan for cap turing the whole army of IBRAHIM PACHA. And yet the great wonder is how any man, circum stanced and situated as he was, could have ac complished such glorious achievements.. first Highest Lowest Last • Price Price.

May 30 We have said before that the friends of Ad miral STOPFORD would best consult his fame and his repose by avoiding any comparisons between himself and Commodore NAPIER as Naval Com manders. There is but one NAPIER in the •ser vice—there are fifty STOPFORDS. NAPIER is the NELSON of his day—STOPFORD is an Admiral whose distinguished services are exhibited in the honourable flag at his mast-head. But these are unpleasant topics, and we advise the Standard not to provoke their further discussion. To Sir CHARLES NAPIER they can hardly be less painful, on the score of good feeling, than to Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, for whom HE has ever expressed the kindliest feelings. The accounts of the meetings held yesterday at Manchester and Norwich, which will be found in another column, show the signs of the times. At both meetings the working classes took a just view of their condition and the two parties be tween whom,they had to choose. If the people of Manchester ever forget the horrible scene which took place in that town in 1819—if they forget that the Tories refused with dire hostility their claims to the franchise, and that but for the exertions of the people and the Liberal Press, a town containing 300,000 inhabitants would still have remained unrepresented, as9ld Sarum now happily is, then we pray that they may be saddled with two Tory representatives for the next half century. But we have no fear of the result. Intelligence pours in from all quarters favourable to the cause of the people, who cry out for cheap bread, cheap sugar, good timber, and full work. It remains with them whether this cry shall be heard, or drowned amidst the yells of the selfish and unfeeling monopolists. The accounts of the election movements are also favourable, but we refrain from giving them at length till the debates in the Commons have been brought to a close. CORN-LAWS, St. LUKE'S.—We are - glad to see that the metropolitan parishes are taking up the good cause of abolition of the Corn-laws. A numerous meeting was held at St. Luke's, the day before yesterday, and sonic spirited resolutiOns were adopted. Clerkenwell had be fore met. Why has the rich and populous parish of Is lington no voice in the great question ? When will it imitate the good example set by its neighbours ?

The question of the Danish Claims was again brought before the House of Commons last night, but as it involved pecuniary considerations to the amount of 200,0001., the scrupulous CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER refused to deal with it, as the clock had chimed that "witching hour" when ghosts bursting their cerements take an airing upon tomb-stones. We are no advo cates for after-midnightlegislation, and if Mem bers of Parliament could be prevailed upon to substitute the morning for the evening in their deliberations, there would be less occasion for so many sessional Amendment Acts as nightly en cumber the table of the House of Commons. But we like not the political sleight of hand which plays fast and loose with principles—which sud denly experiences the twinges of conscience when anything is to be conceded, but allows it to go to sleep when anything is to be gained. We have no objection, but, on the contrary, an earnest desire to see the rule established that the House of Commons shall vote no money after midnight. But surely there is something inconceivably monstrous in hypocritically objecting to ask the House of Commons to vote 200,0001. at an hour somewhat earlier than it has been asked by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER during the present Session of Parliament to vote several millions. Besides the House could not be taken unawares upon the Danish claims. Having thrice voted them to be just, and their liquida tion having been recommended by a Commis sion appointed by the Government, it could mat . ter - little at what hour they were brough forward. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer wanted a pretext to get rid of, them,.,,, and he found it by glancing at the clock. His slumber ing- conscience was suddenly awakened to the honour of voting away the money of a sleeping, and consequently a confiding people. Now, we cannot but feel astonishment that such men as Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord MORPETH, and Lord MELBOURNE, should countenance such shuffling conduct on the part of so inconsiderable a public man as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER? They cannot but know well the injury which is done to the claimants, and the discredit which is cast upon themselves by a line of conduct which would cast discredit upon an Old Bailey attorney. The Danish claims are not like the items of an undiscussed Budget, under stood only by the clerks in the Home-office. They have undergone the closest investigation, and the House of Commons has approved of them by three several and distinct votes. Now, we tell the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, dial the.. Members of the Cabinet who so lbolishly abet his obstinacy, that the claims must be conceded. At what hour of the day or night we know not, nor is it of the slightest import ance to the claimants, provided it be soon. For our own part shall be most happy to see them voted as early in the ilay as suits the convenience of the Cabinet. Were the 1-1 .se to meet at ten o'clock in the morning to vote th-e&u : we should not offer the smallest objection to 8444 4 p?ogeeding. But, we re peat, they must be gn aw ; 41.14 it s .. 4;mot but te9d to injure Ministers with the country to THE WEST-RIDING REPRESENTATION.-- There is likely to be a smart contest for the representation of this important division of the county, at the ensuing election ; but notwithstanding, we have to congratulate the Reformers on their present position, and their almost certain prospect of success. So far as the canvass has hitherto proceeded for Lord Morpeth and Lord Milton it has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the noble candidates' warmest supporters. In the mean time, however, the Tories are not sleeping at their posts. A numerous meeting was held at the Straffot d Arms Inn, Wakefield, on Monday last, at which it was decided to bring forward two candidates in the blue interest. The honour has been offered to E. B. Denison, Esq., who immediately ac cepted it, which seems to argue but little " want of confi dence" on his part. However, as our correspondent shrewdly, and rather facetiously tbserves, he supposes that the reason of two candidates being brought forward by the Tories now is, that the Hcn. J. S. Wortley having had to bear the mortifica tion of defeat so often alone, it is but fair that some one else shotild share the discomfiture with him.—York Courant. CoRN-LAws, &c.—A deputation from Clerken well, consisting of Messrs. Nicholson, Roberts, and Macphail, waited upon Mr. Duncombe, M.P. for Finsbury, this morn ing, with a petition for:presentation, agreed to in vestry, signed by 1,500 rate-payers, for the removal of restrictive duties on corn, sugar, and timber. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet Giraffe, Captain R. Stranack, from Rotterdam, ar rived off the Custom-hoipe at nine A.lll this day, with the Dutch mail, after a favourable passage of 24 hours. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, MAY 29.—The present warm weather is considered to be very fa vourable to the growing crop of hops, and has already im proved the appearance of the bine, which, in many gardens, is more than half way up the poles. There are certainly some complaints of dead hills, caused, no doubt, by the blight last year; but, taking the average of the whole plantation, we should say that the prospect is good. This, added, to the non-appearance of fly, has affected the market, which has new become dull again ; and hops are with difficulty disposed of at last week's prices. FURTHER PROTECTION.—I farm some very poor land in Surrey, for which I give, notwithstanding, a considerable rent ; and as I am unable to grow wheat in sufficient quantity, or of a sufficient quality to com pete with some of the neighbouring farmers, I contend that I am entitled to protection from competition with those who are placed under more favourable circum stances.—Letter in a Morning Paper. [The writer is quite right. The owner of bad soils ought to have a bounty as compared t o th e owne rs of good soils, to keep them in cultivation.] The " Life and Literary Remains of L.E.L." is attracting much attention. " With regard to the volume containing the Literary Remains," the Naval and Military Gazette observes, " it may be described as being at the very least as full of literary merit and valu. as any of those publica tions that took place during her life time. Moreover, it nearly all consists of her latest and most carefully polished compositions. The most important piece in the volume is a tragedy, entitled " Castrucci° Castrucani." This drama is full of high poetry, and contains enough of passion as well as of character, to claim for it an immediate place on our national stage. The series of prose sketches, which follow this drama, will perhaps be more popular than any other part of the vo lume. The remainder of the work consists of separate pieces, of every poetical character and style of composition, all of them worthy of the high place of their writer among the poets of her country, and tome of th..m inferior to nothing else of their kind extant."

This morning, about half-past one, a violent screaming was heard to proceed from the first floor of the house of a hairdresser named Nurse, in Church-street, Blackfriars-road. Shortly after a female threw up the window-sash, and was immediately precipitated to the pavement beneath. She was taken up perfectly insen sible, her skull most dreadfully fractured, and her hands very severely cut. The poor creature was placed in a cab and con veyed to Barthidomew's Hospital, where she expired shortly afterwards. From subsequent inquiries it was ascertained that the unfortunate deceased was a singer at the George, in Char lotte-street, and had not been home many minutes before the fatal event happened. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL A CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY OF WORCESTER.-It is with feelings of un mixed gratification we announce tothe Reformers of Worcester that Sir Thomas Wilde, her Majesty's Solicitor-General, will offer himself as one of the Candidates for the Representation of this city on the Liberal interest at the next election. The high talents and equally high attainments of this gentleman, whether at the bar or in the legislature of his country, his brilliant and well won reputation as a forensic and Parliamen tary orator, hi, skill in debate, the,acuteness of his perceptions. the clearness of his head, and the well-recognised solidity of his judgment, eminently qualify him not only for the duties of his highly• responsible office, but will r.nder him a repre sentative of whom the ancient and faithful city will have just cause to be proud. To entertain a doubt of his election by a triumphant demonstration in his favour, would be to libel the hearts and understandings of the citizens of Worcester, who, if they could not form some appreciation of such a man, must be Bceo.ims indeed. The Reformers of all grades will t ally round Sir Thomas Wilde. SUDDEN DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—On Tuesday of ; crnoon, a married woman, named Ann Hart, ap peared at Worship -street Police-court to support a summons against a woman named Stevens, whom she charged with having used abusive and th reaten i ng l ang uage towards her. The defendant, however, not only rebutted the charge; but ad duced satisfactory evidence to prove that the complainant was the aggressor ; upon which Mr, Bingham, the sitting Mitgis. trate, required the husband °tithe latter to enter into his re cognizance for his wife's good behaviour. The complainant left the Court in a very perturbed and excited state, and upon returning home she sent out for some rum, after drinking which she retired ii,to a back yard, where she was found lying quite dead soon afterwards.

It appears that Keshen, the Imperial Commissioner, though apparently invested with full powers to treat with us, delayed the execution of the Treaty which he had concluded with Captain Elliot, till he could obtain the Emperor's cenfirmation of it. The Imperial Cabinet, imperfectly acquainted with the emergency of circumstances, has rejected the treaty, and de termined on war. Four Imperial Edicts have been received, breathing hostility and defiance to the English, ordering that since " rebellious disposition of the foreigners have thus become manifest nothing is left but to exterminate them." Instead of yielding an inch, by paying down the price of the- opium, or granting them a landing place, the Emperor describes the English " as having rebelled against heaven and opposed reason." " They are," says lie, " like _dogs and sheep in their dis position. It is difficult for heaven and earth any longer to bear with the English, and both gods and men are in dignant at their conduct." " I have heard," says the Emperor, "that four months past they have debauched men's wives and daughters, made captives, carried away property, 'built forts, opened water courses, and set up a counterfeit public officer, who issues proclamations, ordering the people to pay the duties. In sleeping or eating I find no quiet." The blood of the Tartar rulers is excited by their enormities. Keshen is ordered to be delivered over to the Board of Punishment ; still, however, retaining his command ; and the Admiral Kevan, though descended from the god of war, is to lose his button. Troops have been ordered to proceed with all speed to Canton. Flying orders have been sent to the provinces of Honan-Aghe zen and Kwei-Chow, to proceed immediately to Canton ; also flying despatches to Kean-Se, to forward the two thousand troops already stationed in Kan-Chow for Canton ; and it is calculated that in the second moon of the year all the troops in succession may arrive at Can t.m.3' Keshen is ordered to exhort and stimulate the soldiers to advance with valorous daring, and to be the foremost in battle, for it is absolutely necessary " that the rebellious foreigners must give up their heads, which, and the prisoners, are to be sent to Pekin in cages to un dergo the last penalty." The fate of Anstruther, and his unfortunate companions appears to be sealed. Captain Elliot, finding that the negotiation had thus been broken off, seems to have roused himself from his lethargy. On the 25th the Bogue forts were attacked, and taken without the loss of a single man killed or wounded on our side. The casualities amongst the Chinese, though not ascertained, are believed to have been great. A thousand prisoners were taken, who were immediately liberated. According to the last accounts which reached us to the Ist March, Captain Elliot intended immediately to proceed to Canton, and, it is said, that Keshen had in vited the foreign Consuls to mediate between him and the English. Thus fell to the ground all the flaming assur ances of Captain Elliot, that the negotiations were pro ceeding most auspiciously. Thus are annihilated, at one blow, all the flattering promises held out by the Minis terial organs at home of a speedy and satisfactory ad justment of all differences. . _ . Of all the wars in which we have been engaged in the East, this is likely to be the most troublesome. The circumstances which have transpired cannot there fore fail to produce a radical change throughout the whole empire ; had the Emperor quietly acceded to the treaty, which after all, we fear was more disgraceful to us than to him, the lofty pretensions of the Tartar dy nasty, and the exclusiveness of the Cabinet, might have appeared in the eyes of his subjects to be still inviolate. But the feeling of hostility which he has manifested will necessarily force us to more extended operations. We must make up our minds either to give up China and its trade altogether, or force the Emperor into concessions at the cannon's mouth. The Bombay Gazette concludes by severely condemn ing the Government at home for its want of foresight and bad management of the Chinese question. It is of opi nion that nothing effective can be done in the campaign which is about to open. Letters from Singapore, of the 19th March, received by the ships John Adams and David Malcolm, state that, on the 25th of February, the island of Chusan was given up to the Chinese. These ships bring to Calcutta the Bengal volunteers, Captain Elliot. in his wisdom, having ordered their return when he was flattering himself Keshen was behaving honestly. The other transports with the European troops on board went fortunately to Hong Kong, where they will be required ; whether the volunteers are to go or return was not yet decided. Chinese goods have risen considerably in price, and junk teas are up from 61 Spanish dollars to 81 and 9. An American gentleman, lately from Canton, tells us that the - city is doomed to the flames if we spare it. He says there are 200,000 Chinese starving in the neighbourhood for want of employment, who are as ready to sack the place as our sailors are. A letter from Rangoon of the 18th of March, pub lished in the Hurkaru of the 12th of April, says that a " French officer leaves this day for Calcutta, and is said to be the bearer of a letter to the Governor of Bourbon and the King of France from his Burmese Majesty. It seems he has daily interviews and audi ences with his Majesty. No symptoms of receiving a British Resident at Court had yet been exhibited by his Majesty. The turn that affairs may . take after the Court knows of our situation in China remains to be be seen. The Palace is rising as if by magic, though there is yet no preparation for rebuild ing the testroyed stockade. TURKEY AND EGYPT. We have Malta Papers of the 24th, Alexandria of the 21st, and Constantinople of the 17th. According to accounts from Candia of 18th May, Tahir Paella landed at Sunda on the 16th, and was preparing to attack the insurgents. Admiral Stopford sailed from Malta to Corfu on the 19th, with the Cyclops and Cas pian steamers, and the Talbot frigate. Letters from Bushire of the Ist April, state that the negotiations which had been pending during the last month, had at length )een brought to issue. Despat ches had reached Bushire from Teheran, stating that Dr. Riach had been ordered to the frontiers of Gorian, to stop the advance of the Persian army, who were on their march to Herat, the Shah of Persia h av i ng i ssue d or d ers for the withdraw4l of his troops, in consequence of the English Government having consented to . give up and evacuate Barrack. The reskdency was to be immediately removed to Bushire. Gorian is in future to be governed by the Shah Kamram. (From the Supplement to the Malta Times.) MALTA, MAY 26. The Oriental arrived in port this morning from Alex andria, and brings a mail despatched from Bombay on the Ist inst. by the Berenice, which arrived at Suez on the 18th. The Right Hon. J. S. Mackenzie and family came passengers in her, and remained in Egypt. The Auckland, from Bombay 27th ult., arrived at Suez on the 15th inst. with Sir J. B. Carnac, Bart., Governor of Bombay, and family on board, and they are arrived here in the Oriental, and will proceed on in her to England. We regret much to state that Sir J. Carnac was com pelled, through ill health, to leave Bombay. Major- General Sir Willoughby Cotton, G.C.B. is arrived in the Oriental, and proceeds in her to England. His son, Captain Cotton, died at Alexandria on the 21st. Accounts from Syria, to the 11th inst. represent the country to be in a highly excited state and an outbreak was daily expected. The French had been distributing a considerable sum of money. MOST IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA. CAPTURE OF THE BOGUE FORTS AND THE CITY OF CANTON BY THE BRITISH. (From the Bombay Overland Courier, May 1.) The intelligence received from China during the past month is of a highly interesting and important nature. Our latest news from Macao is to the 31st March. Ke shen's continued procrastination having at length ex hausted Captain Elliot's patience, the Nemesis steamer was despatched from Macao on the -14th of February with the draft of a Treaty for the approval and ratification of the Imperial High Commissioner. The Commander of the steamer was , ordered to wait 'at the Bogue for a reply until the 18th, and in the event of his not receiving one by that date to return imme diately to Macao. This he accordingly did on the 19th, Keshen not having made his appearance. A circu lar was then published, stating that, the squadron were moving towards the' Bocca Tigris. On the following day Captain Elliot received a message from Keshen in which the latter stated his willingness to sign the treaty and excused his delay in not coming to the Bogue, when the steamer was there, by alleging that he had been de tained by some piratical boats. This appears to have been a mere ruse to gain time. On the 24th of February a no tification of the renewal of hostilities was issued to her Britannic Majesty's subjects. Towards the morning of the 25th February three howitzers and a party of Sepoys were landed at South Wantong from the Nemesis and the boats of the squa dron. The Chinese kept up a desultory fire while the darkness lasted. Before the dawn of day a battery had been erected with sandbags, and the guns got into posi tion. From these as soon as it was sufficiently light the British returned the fire of the Chinese. At eleven A. M. the tide served and the signal was made for the squadron to weigh. Her Majesty's ship Calliope bearing the broad pendant of the Commo dore led the attack against North Wantong, followed by the Samarang, Druid, Wellesley, Sulphur, and Modesto. The Blenheim awl Melville. with the Queen steamer opened their fire .on the fort o f A nung h oy. B y noon the action had become general, and the firing constant and heavy on all sides. In the meantime the Nemesis and Madagascar steamers with numerous boats in tow ran in close to North Wantong and landed the troops under the command of Alajor Pratt. Shortly afterwards the whole of the forts•were in possession of the British forces. Offi cial notifications were issued in the course of the day : one by the Plenipotentiary, intimating the capture of the forts, ; the other, by the Commodore, authorising mer chant vessels to proceed to the Bogue. The number 'of prisoners taken at Wantong is esti mated at 1,0009, And the killed and wounded on the side of the Chinese are said to be very numerous. It. is evident that an attack on the Bogue forts should have been resorted to at the outset. The grant loss of time and expenditure of plzblic money which has occurred since the first arrival of the squadron off MAW, Would have been avoided, as also the mortality which has so 4tlllaetl the ranks of the unfortunate regiments ; that were quartered at Chusan. ie l lf9tV N•Mlle* That island has been evacuated and vered - tit.tP,lrt Chines,.

But greater greater proof need be adduced of the wretched inana fi i F fi ment of Captain Elliott, and his utter-incapacity to the responsible duties of the station which he holds, the fact that three transports with several hundreds ots_ the Bengal volunteers were ordered to proceed &c c . from Chosen to Calcutta. On -their ar'r-, - al at Sing,ip.oia they heard of the renewed hwtilities, and were dela e 5 at that port awaiting further instructions. The, trAls_ were so diminished in numbers bydeath and sickne : during their sojourn at Chusan, that the Bengal Vt)lti,_le teens may be considered as forming one-third effoetive land forces attached to the expedition. Yet `t. a time when the presence of every man is so iniporn the volunteers are several hundred miles from the 5= 61 of action, the entire blame of which rests with " r y, whose reliance on Chinese good faith, in `'/„. part of t position to the opinions of all well-informed persons ° l 7 the spot, appears to have been caused by something b° dering on insanity.

The Hong merchants remaine d ° A . the spot, but said that the people were afraid to traue e ' whilst the men of war remained in the river. 111 4 anton Chinese at Canton now believe that no traffic of Hugo ante can be carried on until the whole question is do nitely settled. No despatches had been received in Canton sided the Emperor's reply to the announcement o f the c i 3 ` 4 l tare of the Bogue forts.

PROCLAMATIONS OF THE CHIEF SUPE TENDENT. In the first procl a m a ti on d a t e d 6 t h M arc h, 1841, CO' tain Elliot says— PEOPLE OF CANTON. " Your city is spared, because the Gracious Sorer,. of Great Britain has co mman d e d th e Hi g h E ng lish ", s l t cer to remember that the go o d an d p eace f u l people 111— be tenderly considered. " But if the High Officers of the Celestial Court ° fr° the least obstruction to the British forc e s in their pre se t stations, they it will become n ecessary to answe r force by force, and the city may suffer terrible injury." In another, dated the 20th March, he says— 0 . " A suspension of hostilities at Canton and in this P r vince has been this day agreed upon between the Dupe rial Commissioner Yang and the undersigned. let " It has further been publicly proclaimed to the peo,P„, under the seals of the Commissioner and the acting "', vernor of the province, that the tr a d e o f th e port of C a ton is open, and that British and other foreign increhan who may see fit to proceed there f or th e p ur p o se of lawf ul commerce shall be duly protected." These are the most important facts in the proclamations of Captain Elliott. THE PUNJAUB. • The Punjaub still continues to be the theatre of di s ; sension and bloodshed. Three Europeans holdirtg hid rank in the Scheik army have been murdered by the d s d, contented and mutinous soldiery. Their names are F` r he Foulken, and Monton—the two latter Frenchmen, t , former an Englishman, and one paymaster of her 3 1 ,e; jesty's 16th foot. There appears to be good reason iv supposing that the discontented Nobles at the Court e( Lahore are endeavouring t o com p a ss th e d e ath L" Shore Sing. By the latest intelligence from that it seems the Maharajah was taking an excursion on the, river, and that the boat in which he was embargel foundered , without any apparent cause. This coul d i only have occurred throu g h tre ac he ry on t h e par t °f some of his attendants. Shore Si ng , h owever, s uccee ded in swimming to the shore.

There a r e various reports in eil l ; lation as to the propri e ty o f hi s con d uc t i n s o ho b !, quitting Herat.
