The Friend of China says— , " We have much pleasure in giving publicity to the following memoranda by a gentleman posse3sed of good Opportunities for nothing what occurred : " Thursday, Oct. 23 —This morning Her Majesty's ship BArracouta having a large party of marines on board, under the command of Captain Penrose and Lieutenant Burton, took in tow the boom boats of Her Majesty's ships Winchester and Sybille, and proceeded to the Barrier Fvrts, followed by the Coromandel with flag, and having in tow come of the boats of the Calcutta. On reaching the Upper Fort (Napier's), situated on a peninsula, she opened fire with shell, throwing them in first-rate style. The Winchester's boats pushed in under shelter of her guns, and took possession of the fort. The I3arracouta then shelled, first one, then the other of the forts, the Coromandel's and the boats' guns doing good work. Two forts opened fire, but it was but of short duration, owing to the rapid movements of the boats. Lieutenant Dent, with boats of the Sybille, took possession of Howqua's Fort. The guns (45 of them) were found loaded. They were spiked and the trun nions broken off, the carriages destroyed, and the doors of the embrasures torn from their hinges. A similar fate awaited the other forts. Promptitude and decision were the order of the day. The Winchester bad some sharp firing with the Braves, who wished to retain pos- session of the forts. Meanwhile the Barracouta steatned through Blenheim Reach, shelled Blenheim Fort, and anchored below the stakes near MaCao Fort, the latter having already been taken by the boats of the Calcutta. The Coromandel, after the boats had finished by burning the buildings within the forts, took them in tow, and proceeded to Canton. The officers engaged during the day were as follows : —The Sybille—Lieutenants Dent and Chisholm, Midshipmen De Burgh, Price, Brooke, and Hiperley ; the Winchester--Lieutenant - Bughnell, Mr. Mate James, Lieutenant Peliew, Mr. Midshipman Broome, and Assistant-Surgeon Trenson ; the Calcutta —Lieutenants Campbell and Beamish ; Staff Surgeon Anderson on board the Coromandel. "Friday, 24.—This morning Commodore Elliot, in the Barracouta, crossed the Barrier, and opened fire on the Bird's-nest Fort. This place was a mass of ruins in a short time. The Sampson soon followed, and took up a position opposite the Shameen Forts. The Bird's-nest Fort having been taken possession of was left garrisoned, kvhile the energetic Captain Hall, with the Sybille's and Winchester's boats, took possession of the Shameen Forts. " Saturday, 25.—The greater part of the day was spent in destroying the guns of the Shameen Forts. The Red Fort being already in the charge of her Majesty's ship Encounter, in the afternoon the boats went down the river and gained the Dutch Folly without opposition, though a few hours previously there were close to it about 20 Mandarin junks. These retired to a further distance, and got rid of their guns. A strong party of marines was placed in the Folly, the boats returning to their former positions. ' Sunday, 26.—A party of the Royal Artillery ar rived, under command of Captain Rotten. They were stationed in Dutch Folly, with marines and bluejackets the latter to work t wo 32-p oun d ers un d er comman d of Commander Rolland, of the Calcutta. The guns taken and destroyed were 437 in number, including some fine brass 24-pounders. " Monday, 27.—This morning, at 6 o'clock, the Barracouta proceeded to Sulphur-creek, about two miles and a half distant from the Shameen Forts, where in the late war the troops disembarked to attack Gough Fort. She succeeded in getting within shelling distance of the Tartar encampments. Some of the shells which fell on the Red Tower elicited cheers three times three from the people on the Factory housetops. The Encounter threw shell into the Viceroy's palace with unerring pre cision. The fine g ceased at 6 p.m. " Tuesday, 28.—The Hon. Keith Stewart, With a strong reinforcement from the Nankin, arrived. The merchant Howqna requested an interview with his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. His Excellency declined treating with any but those high in authority. His Excellency, however, gave the Imperial Commis sioners a little longer time to pause ere more blood should be spilt through his mulish obstinacy. The En counter commenced shelling the palace, and the Dutch Folly opened fire at noon, clearing away the houses between the wall and the water's edge. One of the houses I caught fire, which spread rapidly towarii the Chin-chew Hong's. This was subdued by midnight. During the ' day a strong party of blue jackets was employed in pul ling down houses in Hog-lane. This lane is in dangerous proximity to the factories in case of fire, and has been ' frequently a source of much terror to foreign residents. "` Wednesday, 29.—An efficient breach having been made in the walls by the guns of Dutch Folly—and no intimation from Yeh as to a wish for peace—prepara tion was made to attack the city by assault. The fort! again commenced firing, the Encounterlthrowing in an i occasional shell. At a little past 1 p.m. a party of 180 1 marines and some blue jackets from ships embarked in. boats ; they were accompanied by two field pieces, in charge of Lieutenants Bushnell and Twisden - the whole! number being short of 300. After a short delay under! the walls of the fort the boats disembarked the marines and blue jackets, who - were for shore duty. The ruinst d th u r r o i h g and which the a t i h r e op m p e r n ess h iv a e d ly t o h o p t! a s s T w h e e r im e a s r t i i n l l es s f m e u i 1 1; four deep and quickly marched to the breach. On the' wall, at either side, large parties of the Chinese were waving their flags and brandishing theilewords. The. breach once gained, the flag was soon exhibited floating: over the much famed wall. A party of blue jackets anct marines, with artillery, filed to the ri:At towards one off the city gates, which they blew in after a little time. The: firing in the breach was kept up with much vigour on: both sides. Four of our men were wounded and removed. Our sharpshooters did good execution. His Excellency I ordered up a fieldpiece, a road having been previously cut under the inspection of Captain Stuart. A con tinned fire was kept up by thi s one pi ece on a w a ll sur.;, 1 rounding the courtyard of the palac e , w hil e the Commo= dore gained a shorter entrance by cutting away a pali4 sade. The Admiral, followed by the Consul and other officers and men, entered the Palace, the only occupants to receive them being the lifeless bodies of some Chinese I killed by shell. Pools of blood stained the residence, 1 which, from some rich hangings and other articles of value still remaining, must have been furnished in a luxurious style. The party eon returned to the walls, where there was still a brisk fire. The United States! Consul Keenan had a narrow escape of his life. Having remained behind a little longer than was prudent, the Chinese made a sudden rush at him with frightful yells, but failed in gaining their object, and met with a volley of musketry from the marines which laid prostrate a goodly number. Just after the Admiral left we observed a fire, which originated from the necessary explosion at the gate. As this was fast gaining on the dwellings towards the breach, the fieldpieces were removed to the boats. The Braves returned to the attack, and unfor tunately killed two of our men and wounded several others. Deep was the revenge inflicted by the Marinei, who, cool as they are brave, fired with unerring aim. The fire gaining on us, we slowly retreated towards the boats under a strong covering party. Some boats with 12-pounders, as soon as the last man had filed off to his boat, opened fire on the breach, thus securing a safe embarkation. " 'lt were invidious to point out the names of any when all appeared to vie with one another in the execu tion of their duty, from the brave and worthy Admiral to the humble mid. The Marines were under the orders of Captains Penrose and Boyle ; Lieutenants Burton, Henry, Swale, and Allnutt ; Captain Rotten, Royal Artillery ; medical officer with wounded, Assistant Surgeon Tronsen. The C ilcutta—Captain Hall, Lieu tenants Campbell and Beamish ; the Sybille, Lieutenants Dent and Naers, Messrs. Brooke, Rice, and De Bergh ; the Bittern, Captain Bate, Lieutenant Butler, and Mr. Johnston ; Dr. Gorrin and Dr. Orr (59th) ; the Winchester, Lieutenants Bushnell, Pellew, and Mr. Brown, and Mr. James ; the Encounter —Lieutenants Gibson, Twisden, and Mr. Shambler ; the Barracouta—Capt. Fortescue, Lieut. Bush, and Mr. Tully. There were other officers, but their names could not be got hold of. " Two men were killed, and one has since died of his wounds ; one officer and 13 men were wounded. The wou❑ded were at first removed to the Dutch Folly, where Dr. Anderson had an efficient staff u❑der his orders, with Mr. Newton, of the Bittern, and Dr. Rattray, of Nankin. " On reaching the factories the force was received with loud cheers by the foreigners assembled, which was replied to by three lusty British huzzas from the strong lungs of our sturdy fellows. "The bags of coarse brown sugar which had been piled up against the T-singhai Gate, situated about 150 yards east of the entrance to the Viceroy's official residence, having been removed by our men from the inside, so that one person could get through, Admiral Seymour and suite made an entrance into the city, and proceeded up the wide staircase on the left en to the wall. This wall on the south side of the city is about 20 or 25 feet high, tapers upwards, and including the battlements, is some nine or ten feet broad on the top. Here our marines were found popping away at every imperialist soldier showing his head above the house-tops. The appearance of the houses and shops within the city is in no way attractive —less so, indeed, than similar buildings in the suburbs. Proceeding along the wall his Excellency again entered the city down the breach, and over the remains of a' house skirling a lane outside the extreme wall of the Viceroy's yamun.' Under this wall, on the outside, was a. coffin ; within the wall were two or three dead bodies, one of them a stalwart Tartar soldier ; another a long haired wretch, and a third with his head blown off close to the shoulders. " The courtyard at the entrance is over 100 feet in width, and runs up for a considerable distance before the grand entrance of the official residence is reached, trees, gagstafrip and low buildings ranging along the sides, on either of which, near the south en d, are ga t ewa y s m arked in la rge characters Eastern and Western doors. Passing into this courtyard from east and west, too, are two streets, and it was from ambuscades in these we had the most to fear. Preceded by a guard of marines and blue jackets, his Excellency Admiral Seymour Consul Parkes, an d o th ers passed onwards, and found little diffi culty in driving in the doors forming the entrance of the 'yamun.' Once within one could hardly fail to uass an observation on the cowardice of the Chioede v I,ti n g a post so easily defensible. Proceeding on we reached a large ball, in the centre of which hang a full-length picture of the late Emperor Taouk-wang, as placed there on the 17th day of the first month of the 26th year of his Imperial Majesty's reign. In the rear of that again was another hall, with a similar picture of Hienfung (the present Emperor) fir the third year of his reign. To the left of these hall esvere the sleeping apartments ; to the right the kitchens ; above them the refectory. The whole place, however, was pretty well stripped, and the north east corner of the building terribly battered by our shot. In one of the bedrooms spoken of, mixed up with Chinese ladies' clothing, several State papers of some interest were found, along with a pretty letter from the father and mother at Pekin of the Lady Lum, the Chetoy's (Viceroy's) wife. " On the whole, the interior of the Viceroy's official residence within the city was found to possess much less of grandeur than had been generally anticipated. It was evidently a mere place of business, with accommo dation for residence as occasion required. The following account from the supplement to the Friend of China comprises the latest particu lftrs of what had taken place : " CANTON, OCT. 31, 4. 30 P.M. ' "Firing from the Dutch Folly commenced this morning at 6 a.m., and lulled for a couple of hours after 11 o'clock. The steamer Canton arrived early with about 80 -marines, who were landed in the Gardens. The Coromandel also came' up an hour after her, and has again left for (long Kong. "Another placard is posted up in the city an , l suburbs, ritising the head-money for each foreigner to 100 tub:. Chinese report that Yeh has transferred the seals of his 4ffice to a high mandarin, who distinguished himself in exterminating the rebels, and that he is a most energetic Man. Yeh's apathy and mulish obstinacy in coming to iny—decision puzzle even -the Chinese. They seem tQ think that he is not in the ps - .ession of a sound mind, and hence arises his unaccountable indifference to the (ivents of the last few days. "The removal of the whole of Yeh's treasure and ya!uaole property from the palace took place on the night when the first shell from the Encounter was thrown into the city. It is sail that 3,000 coolies were employed the whole night in carrying away his effects. Yeh is reputed to be enormously rich ; his treasure is mostly in gold .• "CANTON, SUNDAY, Nov. 2, 1856. "Nothing has been done since yesterday, and perfect quietnes§ reigns in the faotories. "The heads of three foreigners have been seen banging pn the city wall. No one knows who these poor fellows were; some suppose them to be sailors from the shipping of Whampoa, who went into the city with the storming party—probably lost their way, and were taken prisoners. "The city is now, according to Chinese report, filled with soldier, and if the British forces attempt a second entry a vigorous resistance will be made. , The populace bre apparently, but most foolishly, opposed to the city eing opened to foreigners. This prejudice must be ;overcome, cost what it may. "The Chamber of Commerce have addressed a letter :to the Admiral fully approving the course he has pur sued towards the Chinese Government since the com mencement of the present embroglio, and expressing a hope that he will insist on a compliance with the rea :sonahle demands he has made to them. "The last two letters of the Admiral are remarkable for moderation and that due sense to the claims of hu manity which characterise a great heart and brave man. May he, therefore, be successful in the accomplishment of the arduous task he has undertaken ; and may the God of Battles grant him victory and shield him from harm ! " It may be mentioned that the terrible fires of the 28th and 29th tilt. entirely destroyed 36 out of the 38 Chin-chew and Fokien Ilongs. The value of property lost is said to be immense. Unfortunately, however, the Chinese will not believe that the fire was purely acci dental, and that it was far from the wish and intention of the English to peril private property in any way when it could be avoided. " CANTON, MONDAY, 4.30 P.M. . _ " The Admiral's letter has dra . wn forth no satisfactory response apparently. His Excellency will hardly have expected it, for to-day, at a little before noon, firing commenced from the Folly, the Encounter, and the Sampson—shell as fast as it could be thrown into the old city. This terrific and continued cannonade for now five hours is quite sickening to civilians on shore ; houses appear to quiver again. There has been some firing at foreigners on the factory roofs from the direction of Looking-glass-street. " CANTON, TUESDAY, 4,30 P.M. " Firing commenced at 1 o'clock to-day, and has just ceased. It was briskly kept up, but without much apparent damage. There were some signs of a fire in the old city just now, but it is out again.

British Consulate, Canton, Oct. 21, 1856, 6 p.m. The undersigned circulates for the information and guid ance of the British and foreign community at this port, the accompanying copy of a letter which, in the spirit of the instructions of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary he has ad dressed, and has this evening delivered to the Imperial Commissioner and Viceroy of the Provinces.

On the morning of the Bth instant the British lorcha Arrow, when lying among the shipping anc hored before the city, was boarded without any p evious ref ere nce being made to the British Consul, by a large for ce of Chinese officers and soldiers in uniform. who, in the face of the re monstrance of the master, an Englishman, seized, b oun d , and carried away twelve Chinese out of her crew of four teen, and hauled down her colours. I reported all th e par ticulars of this public insult to the British flag, and grave violation of the IX. article of the Supplementary treaty to your Excellency the same day, and appealed to you to afford satisfaction for the insult, and cause the provision of the treaty to be in this case faithfully observed. But your Excellency, with a strange disregard both to justice and treaty engagement, has offered no reparation or apology for the injury ; and by retaining the men you have seized, in your custody, signify your approval of this viola tion of the treaty, and leave her Maiestf government without assurance that a similar event shall not again occur. --- - Your Excellency was warned by what took place on the evening of the 14th inst. of the dangerous conseque nces t o which a refusal of justice might load, but your Excellency treats with indifference that warning and also th e several protests made to you not only by me, but by her Majesty's Plenipotentiary.

Sir, When the prefect of Luy-chow-foo was sent yes terday Consulate state to him for the in formation your Excellency for the demands I had to make, , that convinc e d as I am, I instructed purpose u t ro t e h e o s t hf ascertaining the British British Cou whatl Consuln s city that has been invariab l y conceded at the other ports, similarly in force at Can ton, no such contingency could tba were the°f y r arise as the present, in wh ic h the impossibility of other wiseioguhrt of access Excellency to the auth or iti es w ithi n th e effecting any satisfactor arrangement had rendered necessary the proceedings of the last few days, what I had now to insist upon was simply this—that the foreign re presentatives should have here the same access to the authorities as at the other ports. Your Excellency sent no reply to my message, and, ac cording to the intention of which I had given notice to your deputy, I breached the wall of the city, and thus obtained access to your Excellency's official residence, which I visited yesterday afternoon. This object accom plished, I withdrew my troops. I may observe that it has been wholly with a view to the preservation of life that my operations have been hitherto so deliberately conducted. Even yesterday when entering the city no blood was shed save where my men were a ssailed, and the property of the people was in every wee respected. Th e fires which have broken out during the last two days were not either designedly caused by us. They were but a lamentable consequence of the measures to which your Excellency's conduct has compelled me re luctantly to resort. I have now one remark to make, to which I request your Excellency's particular attention. The lives and property of the entire city population are now at my mercy, and could be destroyed by me at any moment that any event might impose upon me so sad a necessity. The preven tion of any such necessity is entirely in the hands of your Excellency. I have been constrained to move onward, proceeding from one step to a further, by the pertinacity and discourtesy with which your Excellency has persisted in evading the just and simple claims advanced by us in the first instance. It is now for your Excellency by im mediate consultation with me to terminate a condition of t hi ngs o f w hich the present evil is not slight, but which, To his Excellency Yeh, Imperial High Commissioner, kc., &c., [Received at 7.30 a.m., Ist November.] Eep, Imperial Commissioner, Governor-General of the TWO Kwang, &c., &c., makes communication : I have this day received your Excellency's letter of the Ist inst., and have acquainted myself with its contents. The relations between your Excellency's country and the Chinese, ever since the commencement of conanercial inter course between them, have been none other than those of politeness; and when ou the Bth ult. the 12 prisoners were seized on board the lorcha, having ascertained from the officer I deputed to conduct the investigation that nine of the number were innocent, I directed an officer on the 10th ult. to put them on board the vessel again. Mr. Consul Parkes refused to receive them. Early on the morning of the 22d ult., I wrote to Consul Parkes, and at the same time for warded to him twelve men, namely, Leong Mingtai, and Leong Kee foo, convicted on the inquiry I had instituted, and the witness, Woo Avu, together with nine previously tendered. But Consul Parkes would neither receive the twelve prisoners, nor my letter. The lorcha, it appears, was built by Soo Aching, a Chi nese ; she was not a foreign vessel at all, and her British flag had been purchased through the merchant Block, as we clearly established by the admission of the prisoners, and Woo Ayu, when under examination. It was not known at the time that my Executive went to seize persons on board her, that the lorcha was a foreign vessel She was anchored in the neighbourhood of the Dutch Folly ; she was built by the Chinese, Soo Aching. As to the question of the flag, it hiss been the invariable rule with lorchas of your Excellency's nation, to haul down the flag when they drop anchor, and to hoist it again when they get under way. When the 'orals was boarded in order that the prisoners might be seized, it has been sa tisfactorily proved that no flag was flying. How then could 14 flag have been hauled down ? Yet Consul Parkes, in one despatch after another, pretends that satisfaction is required for the insult offered to the-flag. There has been in truth no breach of the treaty commit ted, and after so many years of peaceful understanding between our two nations, why, without cause, a military operation should be undertaken, I am utterly unable to explain. In reference to the admission into the city I must ob serve, that in April, 1849, his Excellency the Plenipoten tiary Bonham issued a public notice at the Factories here, to the effect that he thereby prohibited foreigners from entering the city. The notice was inserted in the news papers of the time, and will, I presume, have been read by your Excellency. Add to this that the exclusion of - foreigners from the city is by the unanimous vote of the whole popu lation of Kwang-Tong. It may be supposed how little to their liking has been this storming of the forts and this destruction of their dwellings ; and, apprehensive as I am of the evil that may hence befal the officials and citizens of your Excellency's nation, I can suggest nothing better than a continued adherence to the policy of the Plenipo tentiary Bonham, as to the correct course to be pursued. As to the consultation (proposed by your Excellency) I have already, some days ago, deputed Tseang, Prefect of Luy-chow-foo. I accordingly reply, availing myself of the occasion, to wish your Excellency prosperity, &c. A necessary communication, addressed to his Excellency Sir Michael Seymour, Naval Commander-in-Chief. Meng-Fang, 6th year, 10 Moon, 2d day, (31st Oct. 1856). T Tr r a u n e s e la o t p ed y. by THOMAST. H. WADE. HANCE. British Consulate, Canton, Ist Nov., 1856. Sir,—l am in receipt of your Excellency's reply of 31st ult. I must positively decline any further argument on the merits of the case of the lorcha Arrow. lam perfectly satisfied of the facts as represented to your Excellency by Mr. Consul Parkes. The men who have been publicly seized on board the Arrow were not publicly restored to their vessel as he had requested, nor was the required apology made for this violation of his jurisdiction by your Executive. _ _ _ The whole course and issue of the lengthy correspon dence arising out of a matter, which might in the first in stance have been easily adjusted, have determined me, as I have already told you, to insist on behalf of the foreign re presentatives, on the same right of access to the authori ties within Canton, as has invariably been conceded at other ports—the exercise of this right, being in my belief our solo security against a recurrence of misunderstandings like the present, involving proceedings so distasteful to myself and so disastrous to you. Your Excellency's reply refers me to the notification of the British Plenipotentiary of 1819, prohibiting foreigners from entering Canton. Now I must remind you, that although we have indeed serious matter of complaint against the Chinese Government, for breach of the promise given in 1817, to adroit foreigners into Canton at the end of two years, my demand now made is in no way connected with former negotiations on the same subject, neither am I demanding admission of any but the foreign officials, and this only for the simple and sufficient reasons above assigned. On my proposal to treat personally with your Excellency, you do me the honour to remark that you sent a Prefect some days ago. lam compelled therefore to regard your Excellency's whole letter as unsatisfactory in the extreme, and have only to add that, unless I immediately receive an explicit assurance of your assent to what I have pro posed, I shall at once resume offensive operations. The de liberation with which I have so far proceeded should have convinced you of my reluctance to visit the shortcoming of the authorities upon the inhabitants of Canton. The2e sponsibility of what may now befall them rests on your Excellency. Should you persist in your present line of policy, you leave me but one course to pursue, and you will learn, when too late, that we have the power to exe cute what we undertake.—Accept, &c., (Signed) M. SEYMOUR. To His Excellency Eep, Imperial High Commissioner. &c., &c., &c. Yeh, Imperial Commissioner, Governor-General of the Two Kwang, &c., makes a communication in reply : I am in receipt of your Excellency's letter of the 2d instant, and have acquainted myself with its contents. In the case of the lorcha, you state, that on the representa tion of Consul Parkes, I should have caused the men pub licly seized on board that vessel to have been publicly re turned to her, and that it was incumbent on me to admit their capture by my Executive was a mistake. No foreign flag was seen by my Executive at the time of the capture, and as, in addition to this, it was ascertained on the exa mination of the prisoners by the officer deputed to conduct it, that the lorcha was in no respect a foreign vessel, I maintain that there was no mistake committed. In the next place the 12 men were all handed back to the Consul after examinatien, but he declined to receive them ;—there was not then any refusal to return the men to their vessel. _ _ ' As to what is said in the letter under acknowledgment respecting that rule of intercourse between foreign officials and the native authorities that has always obtained at other ports, it has been found that the people of Swang- Tung are extremely fierce and violent, differing in nature from the people of other countries. In 1848 there was a long controversial correspondence on the subject between my predecessor Seu and the British Plenipotentiary Mr. Bonham, and Mr. Bonham being satisfied that an inter view within the city was utterly out of the question, ad dressed (a letter) to Seuin the—April of 1819, in which he said—" At the present time I can have no more discussion with your Excellency on this subject." He further issued a notice from the factories to the affect that no foreigner was to enter the City, which was inserted in the papers, and he communicated this to the British Government. There was not a Chinese or foreigner of any nation who did not know that the question was never to be discussed again, and as is shown by the records, his Majesty the Em peror was informed, in a memorial drawn up by myself, the then Governor of the Province, together with the late Cow. missioner Seu, that Mr. Bonham had stated in his corres pondence that this question could not be discussed, a nd h a d issued a notice prohibiting foreigners from entering the city. Assuming that your Excellency has long been aware of this, I am utterly unable to explain what is meant in the letter under acknowledgment, by the statement that the present demand is in no way connected with the negotiations of former years, and that it is only for the admission of foreign officials into the City. As to former negotiations, Mr. Bonhan stated in correspondence, that discussion of the question could not be renewed, and issued a prohibitory notice on the subject. Your Excellency's pi °position having reference to the very same question (as that mooted by Mr. Bonham), how can it be said to have no connection with it ? And when Mr. Bonham has said that the question could be no more dis cussed by him it is to be inferred that it can less be dis cussed by your Excellency. To conclude, our countries have been many years on friendly terms. Without cause you have in one day come upon us with hostilities ; the result of which has been in tolerable misery to the people. Let your Excellency pon der well, what is no vain fiction of mine, that hundreds and thousands of them have been for days past clamorously tendering their services, ardent and united for the defence of the city I accordingly reply, availing myself of the occasion to wish your Excellency prosperity. Hieng-Fung, 6th year, 10th moon, 6th day (3d November.) British Consulate, Canton, 4th November, 1856. Sir,—l am in receipt of your Excellency's letter of yes terday, referring me to the correspondence between your Excellency's predecessor and Mr. Bonham, our late Pleni potentiary. The perusal of all that is on record will show you, that although, when the Chinese Government declined in 1819 to fulfil the promise given in 1847, of right of entry into Canton, was for the moment waived, it was distinctly informed at the time and since that our claim was in no respect abandoned. My demand, how ever, as I have already told you, is entirely distinct from any former proposition on the subject. It is needless to restate my reasons for insisting upon it, and I have only to add that, until it is acceded to, I have no alternative but to persist in the course you have cont. pplled me to adopt.—l have & 0 ., (Signed ) M. SEYMOUR. "British Consulate, Canton, Nov. 15, 1856. "Her Britannic Majesty's Consul has received the in structions of his Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, K.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief, &c., to issue the following notice to the British community : " Hi' Excellency feels it unnecessary to recapitulate to the British community the origin and progress of what has been done at Canton during the last few weeks by her Majesty's naval forces under his command. Their loss has happily been trifling, and their operations, now including the capture of the Bogue Forts, eminently successful. " His Excellency regrets to find that neither the ex treme measures to which the Imperial Commissioner'S defiance of treaty obligations has compelled him to resort, nor the plain proof given that the city and its inhabi tants are at the mercy of her Majesty's ships of war, have as yet induced the Imperial Commissioner to make the concession demanded by his Excellency, as a guarantee against future misunderstandings of a similar nature to the present. "The concession is not regarded as unreasinable by Chinese, who, his Excellency understands, adequately represent the feeliaga of the respectable inhabitants of Canton, nor 'is any tangible obstacle alleged to it by these except the impracticabilty of the Commissioner himself, who has laboured to associate the people with him, by representing the English as in league with rebels and outlawS, and has pushed his hostility to the fO.ocious length of pr , claiming rewards for the lives of English satjects without distinction. !" His Excellency is determined that his demand shall be conceded ; but the community must be well aware that any course his Excellency may now contemplate would be compromised by publicity. His Excellency therefore confines himself to stating that he sees no im medlate prospect of a restoration of quiet. " The security of the foreign position will be as well cared for as heretWore. The nature and object of any measures now to be resorted to his Excellency deems it advisable to keep to himself. (Slgned) " HARRY S. PARKRS, Her tritannic Majesty's C wsul at Canton. " To the British Community at Canton." (Translated from the Chinese.) Notification of Mr. Parkes, H.B.M. Consul at Canton, ; issoed by order : for the removal of misconceptions, by declaration •f the truth, to the end that confidence may be restored to thepublic mind. i In overy discussion there is a position which is the cor rect one; nor can a just conclusion upon the merits of any question be arrived at until the arguments on both sides Blasi! have been heard. The Governor-General, Yeh, has been at great pains, l i ever since the approval of the British forces under com mand of the Admiral, H. E. Sir M. Seymour, to inflame the public mind by the circulation of unfounded state- Monts on the subject ; and it , is to counteract:the evil effect but too probably to be apprehended from these, that H. B. M. Plenipotentiary has instructed the Consul to . Mane a notification of the plain truth to the g. -.try and people of the city anti suburbs of Canton. At Hong Kong,,being a British colony, it is competent fbr tire owps• of:etty vessel, of any country, when he shall haveobt'arned the tequisite security, to make applicatiott, through the-proper official channels, to the supreme autho rity for a Colonial Register. Under this the vessel hoists 4 British ensign, and the register once issued she is re garded in all respects as a British vessel, while those on board her become alike responsible to British control, and entitled to British protection. The conditions of this colonial registration were communicated some months ago tie the Governor-General by the Minister Plenipotentiary, Who is also Governor of the Colony, and a trauslation of the Colonial Ordinance was enclosed to him in his Excel lency's despatch. Meanwhile, the lorcha Arrow, a vessel duly registered as above, having come up to Canton in the earlier part of October, information, it appears, was given to the autho rities by a person who had been robbed by pirates at sea, that one of the delinquents was serving as a sailor on board the lorcha. Now by the treaty between England and China, all authority over British vessels at any of the Five Ports is vested in the consuls. The proper course, there fore, if any question bad been raised ag tinst the lorcha, as she was flying British colours in the port of Canton— being one of the five—would have been to call ou the Bri tish Consul to inquire into the case and take the necessary steps. Without any reference, however, to the Consul, a party of the local marine boarded tie vas iel, tore clown her ensign, seized twelve men who were on board, and carried them into the city. The Consul, of course, as soon as he became aware of this violation of his jurisdiction, reported it, to his supe rior, H. M. Plenipotentiary. He at the same time made his complaint to H. E. Yeh, as Imperial Commissioner, accompanying his statement of the facts by a request that H. E. would cause the seamen who had been carried off from the vessel to be restored to her publicly, in order that the atonement might be made for the affront that had been offered to his authority as Consul. He added, that if it were still desirable to examine the parties, he was pre pared to conduct au inquiry with any officer of his own rank, who might be deputed for that purpose. The Governor-General replied that the lorcha was not 'a foreign vessel. He sent back some of the men, but nine of the twelve that had been taken ; but these the Consul did not think it right to receive; and, under the instruc tion of the Plenipotentiary, he now demanded, besides restoration of the whole number, a letter of apology for 'their seizure, and a- suranee that nothing of the kind should occur again —to be given within forty-eight hours. The 'Plenipotentiary himself wrote to the Commissioner, on the 'eth October, to the same effect, adding that, unless the required satisfaction were accorded within the period assigned, it would be left to the Naval Commander-in- Chief to exact it. This letter reached Canton on the 15th of October, but was left without answer for ei g ht d a y s . H. E. Yeh then sent a reply, in which he repeated what he had already said to the Consul. To the requisition made by the latter he paid no more attention than before. H. E. the Admiral, unwilling to resort to force without due deliberation, waited fram one day to another, until the 21st of Oct., when the Consul, under farther instruction from the Plenipotentiary, addressed a last letter to the Imperial Commissioner. He was now told that unless he conceded what had been asked for by six o'clock in the evening of the following day, the naval forces would act. At noon of the following day, an officer of low rank was sent with the 12 seamen to the Consulate, with a message from his Excellency Yeh, thattwo of them were criminals, and must be sent back to him immediately. The Consul, in reply, put in the hands of the officer sent two extracts from his letters before referred to, reciting the substance of his requisition, and the form in which it was to be complied with; namely, that the men publicly removed from the vessel should be as publicly restored to her, and that a letter of apology should be written. At eight in the evening came another despatch from his Ex cellency Yeh, requesting the Consul to inform him why his despatch of the morning had not been acknowledged. It being thus apparent that farther protraction of the cor respondence would be of no advantage to the settlement of the question at issue, there remained no alternative but to place the matter in the hands of the Admiral. His Excel lency, unwilling to inflict unnecessary injury upon the in habitants, confined himself in the first instance to the cap ture of some of the forts along the river ; this done, he directed the Conrail to warn the Governor-General that if he persisted in refusing to listen to us more serious proceedings would be rendered inevitable. The Governor-General pro posing nothing, the Admiral proceeded to possess himself of the remaining forts along the Canton river. Ho then reached the city wall, and blew up the Tsieg Hai gate. Now, his Excellency has been brought to this point by no intention of his own; he has been simply driven onward by the determined obstinacy and extreme discourtesy of the Governor-General. The original claim advanced was, com paratively speaking, of no great tnagnitude. Leas could not have been demanded than the formal rendition of a crew unauthorisedly seized without reference to the consul. To the high official of a nation with whom the rule and prac tice of what is due from man to man are so important a consideration, what could have been so easy as to acknow ledge an error committed, and to give assurance that none such should be repeated. How widely different a course was pursued ! For several years past the high authorities at Canton have entrenched themselves in inaccessibility to foreign officials, pleading al way s that the people are opposed to the admission of foreign ers within their walls. It has hence resulted that discus sions, which might have been disposed of in a single inter view, have endured through months of correspondence, and this, too, without any satisfactory result. The present case commences with an insult to our flag. that is to say, an affront is put upon our dignity as a State; this is fol lowed by the unauthorised seizure of sailors subject to the British control and protection ; we complain, and our as sertions are contradicted ; no attention is paid to our ap plication, once and again, for reasonable redress ; we are constrained to threaten force, and our menaces are simi larly disregarded ; and at last, after repeated delays, we make some demonstration of our power, and the Governor- General Yeh, forgetting that our act is the consequence of his own obstinacy and discourtesy, proclaims to the people that we are in league with the rebels, and set a price on our heads. Would barbarism and ignorance have gone the length of such a declaration ? Will the people of China, knowing and practising the duty of man to man, believe the fact when it is told them ? To conclude. This quarrel is not with the people ; our proceedings have not originated in anything done by the people. They have been caused by the obsti nacy and discourtesy of the chief authority, and for any ca l a mity that may result from them, the chief authority is singly responsible. There is but one means of escape from it, and this is in the hand of the chief authority, who, if he lose no time in meeting our high authorities, will be en abled, by arranging matters on a satisfactory footing with them, to put an end to the existing peril, and to prevent the recurrence of like misfortune iu the time to come. Think how completely at our mercy are the lives and property of the entire population of the city; and with what facility, in one moment of time, we could effect their utter destruction—a terrible contingency. You are told this in no spirit of boasting ; the power of our nation is too well known to require that we should indulge in self glorification ; but simply because we have no wish to see a long continuance of these hostilities, so cruel to the feelings of the people, and so injurious to their interests. REMONSTRANCE OF CHINESE GENTRY. A few days ago we heard that the English authorities had suddenly brought their steamers and war-vessels to enter the river, fire on and injure the forts, and kill the soldiers —(which is) exceedingly perverse and unreasonable. For tunately our officers and soldiers in the forts did not resist, thereby avoiding the infringement of the treaty. Having inquired (we learn, that) for some time many of the lorchas that have traded on the Canton river have inifursitnagnecdesthoof laws very much—smuggled and sold sa lt; their infringements are piled up. Not one rovoof the native officials and people but has bea u much pked. N ow, this No. 27 lorcha boldly dared to shelter the robbers Lee Ming T'ae and others, and to enter Canton.. The English officials are bound, in accordance with the treaty, to find out vagabonds and hand them over to the Ch inese officers for punishment. But in this affair, the Captain of the lorcha has deceived the English consul ; the wrong, therefore, rests with him (the captain), and not with our military authorities. This lorclia was employed by a na tive called Soo ASing ; the register was dishonestly pro cured by the captain ; it is not an English, lorcha—there is a great difference between it and the foreign men-of-war, and s hips that are of an honest character.. The duty of our military is only to find out and capture robbers; they do not understand the treaty, at which we w ed not be astonished. Oar officials have heard (of this a (f„i i ), and, being very merciful, have liberated the twelve mon (who were taken from the lorcha)—(in accordance) with all love and reason. _ . But, unexpectedly, the English officers, distinctly against the treaty, have fired on and injured the forts, killing the soldiers. We wish to ask if there is any love or reason in such conduct? We recollect that the forts on the banks of the river were formerly made for the protection of the people, now they being suddenly injured, the (neighbouring) coun try suffers also. Not one who has blood and breath but will be engaged. We can only expose this perverse and unreasonable in fringement of the treaty by the English officers, univer sally informing the officials and merchants of ail the hon ourable countries, as well as the large English merchants —(requesting them) altogether to investigate, and not to say we men of China speak against human principles.

The latest news received from the Gulf is not at all of a pacific character. The Shah is resolved to fight to the last, should the soil of Persia be profaned by the footsteps of an invading foe. The Resident at Bushire, when the last vessels left, had been ordered to haul down his flag, and leave the town ; together with all the Chris tian and American residents who were supposed to be favourably inclined towards the British. A proclama tion had been issued by the governor of the province, directing its subjects to remove into the interior, as the Shah was determined to maintain the integrity of the empire, and to do battle with the British. Most of the inhabitants have accordingly moved out of the vicinity of the expected battle-field. Troops were being rapidly collected in the vicinity of Bushire ; about 40,000 soldiers of all arms having been moved towards that point. Russian officers and even Russian troops are said to form a portion of the Persia n force at Bushire, and they consequen4 hold high hopes of preven lug the British from effecting a landing on their shores. An island about two miles from Bushire has been fortified with 80 guns. Works to strengthen the position are being rapidly and vigorously executed. 111tich reliance is seemingly placed on this fortification for keeping off our ships from approaching the shore. It is evident, from what is transpiring around us, that the war in which we have just engaged will be something more than a mere hostile demonstration. Orders have been received by the Bombay government from Calcutta, to prepare a reserve field farce with the utmost despatch ; and the mi litary departments are all now busily engaged in carrying out these instructions. It is expected that the reserve will be ready to sail by the time that the transp - arts return from the Gulf ; and it is evident that the authorities are waiting for them, as no extra freight has been taken up. The Reserve Brigade is to consist of the let or Leslie's troop of Horse Artillery, her Majesty's 14th Light Dra goons, and the 78th Highlanders, at present stationed at Poona ; the let Company 2d Batta!ien European Foot Artillery, from Sholapore ; the 26th Regiment N.I from Sattara, directed to march to Poona immediately ; and three Native Infantry Regiments from the Madras Presidency. Should this demonstration fail in obtaining the object desired by her Majesty's 'Government, an aalemerik parch across Affghanistan _into'Pe*sia, the - Ameer Drost Mahoreed taking the same part.% lie cams paign that the Nizam took against Tippoo Sultan. The object of her Majesty's Government is to obtain the cession in perpetuity of the island of Grand Ki,hma, which is immediately on occupation to be made a free port, and transformed into the head-quarters of her Ma jesty's arsenal and dockyard in the Persian Gulf. The ob ject appears to be to control not only Persia, but all the trade down the Euphrates, which empties itself into the Persian Gulf, and will soon be the highway for the trade of the East to the West. The island commands not only 'Persia and Turkey, but Arabia, especially the trade of Muscat and the country of the Yoseamines, so long famed for their piracies. From the island a flotilla of steamers would sweep away all the rade of a refractory chief in lees than a week, and shut up all Prria, especially the rice and fish trade, which would starve both Gamroun and Bussorah into compliance in less than six months. The island of Grand Kishma completely covers Ormuz, and is capable of supporting a population of 200,000 without any foreign aid whatever. On the western nod north-western frontiers of India, preparation; for a cempeign are being silently but surely made. Our agents are quietly aceomplishing their ends in Affghanistan, Candahar, and Kelat : arid when the storm does burst it will descend upon Persia like an avalanche. THE FUTURE ()F ISIA. (From the Friend of India.) Of all revolutions perhaps the strangest and the least marked is the one now transacting itself in Asia. There is little perceptible alteration. There are fewer wars than of yore. There is no violent uprising of whole races. There is nothing worth insertion in a telegraph bulletin. Yet at one and the same time all the dominant races of Asia are passing from the scene. To use an expre•4sion we have employed before, the air is filled with the noise of the crumbling of rotten thrones. One by one the races which rose up to power in the wild confusion of the thie,centh, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, are drop• ping their sceptres into str••nger hands. Of the north, Europe as yet knows unfortunately too little. Its political position is the true Asian Mystery Disraeli's followers have so long sought in vain. But the little we do know is sufficient t;indiCate the result. The Tartar empire is gone. Tne Russian has step by step from Moscow to the Sea of Okhotsk swallowed the ancestral possessions of the tribes. The Tartars who fled from Ivan 111. in 1402 cannot fly further, for Russia has reached theses and looks face to fa ce with the Anglo-Saxons in their march along the Pacific. From the North Pole to Herat, from the Caspian to the mouth of the Amour, the land is Russian. The Tartar can but obey the ukase from St. Petersburg, and whatever his future destiny must for the present be erased from the roll of the domi nant races of the earth. The offshoots of his power fare even worse. He has been conquered. They are dying of inanition, and the vices luxury is said to in , roduce. The authority of the Turks but nominally subsists. Their military prestige, dec iying for a hundred years, expired with Sultan Ma• homed. Their wealth has bee:, drained from them by the supple slaves, the Bengalees of Europe, who hope because they are parsimonious and pliant to wriggle back the Empire of Byzantium. The last bond which bound the Turks together, their fanaticism, or tse love of per. secutiou which survive fanaticism, is crumbling under hatti-scheriff , . Their numbers are known to be de• clining. The race is not recruited from the desert, and is like its own great cities rushing down. The English press occasionally talks of the improve ment of Turkey. It is becoming tolerant. Is not a church rising at Scutari ? Is not a rayah admitted into the army Is not Layard establishirg a batik, O'Shaugh nessy a telegraph, and Andrews a railway ? Did not the Sultan go to a ma, , querade ? Are not all these things the visible signs of civilisation patent to the eyes, consola tory to the breeches pocket ? Possibly they may be. They are what the nineteenth century accepts for its mission at any rate, but as Turks and civilisation are in compatible, they do not greatly affect the argument. The Greeks may prosper and grow greater, though no effete race has ever yet revived. Turkey may be filled with new colonies, or new races. She may be divid ed between France and England. She may even suc cumb to Russia, and under any of these changes may advance. Turkey may improve, but the Turks receive orders from quiet attaches in round hats. They, like the race from whom they spruno, are losing their place on the grand muster roll of dominion. The Mogul, the second offshoot, vanished away a cen tury ago, but far to the eastward the i bird of the great Tartar dynasties is perishing beneath our eyes. The Chinese insurgents, their creeds, their leaders, and their [natives, may remain inexplicable till they have won. We may remain even ignorant of the geographical di rection of their conquests. But two facts are none the less certain. They are winning. They are Chinese. The Tartar rulers are perishing out, and whatever the fate of China, its dynasty will not be Ilanch , w. Already the oentral provinoes are lost. The south is kept in order only by atrocities which seem to Europeans almost. de served by the cowards who can endure their perpetra tion. The Tartars of China are forcitsy cleansed out of the Red Book of the world. Three countries thus ruled apparently remain. The an cestry of the Indo-Chinese races may be a puzzle, Lnt if there be truth in physiognomy, they are Calmueks. They have the same form, the same head, the same peculiari ties of face which local circutn-tances do not appear to cause. The Barman is already paralysed, and the Siamese and Cambodian only wait in their marshes till the inevit able tide of progress brings them also within the red line. Forbidden to judge foreigners without the intervention of the consul, their claim to dominion seems but slight. The late remaining state is Persia. That kingdom alone in Asia was filled as well as occupied by the conquerers. Whatever be the nature of the indigenous population, it has become inseparanly intermixed with its rulers. The sovereign race is scarcely a dominant race, in the sense in which we have employed the phrase. In any sense, however, it is decaying. Russia has its fairest provinces. The Shah ventures to trust cities only to his sons. The army is too disorganised to keep the Knords within bounds; and now at the appointed time, against the will of England and of India, we are advancing to effect a lodgment which will terminate when the gulf is dry. Ten years more at the present rate of advance and the Tar tar dynasties, the race who under one form and another have held Asia for five centuries, will have passed from the scene. They pass, too, almost unrecorded. Tke indi genous races have done much, the Tartar nothing. The s C o h v i e n r e e s i e gn h s a a i r , e prodced a e civilisation buta u nexcrescei.ce. on which Turkey key isnotso t r he ic i h r or so cultivated, has fewer cities, fewer buildings, fewer traces of wise government than she had in the days of her Greek emperors. The trade of India was conducted by Ilindoos, not Tartars. It is the industry of the indi genous race, not the government of her conquerors, which made her rich and fertile. In the North, where they bad absolute possession, what have they done? There is not one road, one bridge, one city, better than a camp, between the Ural and Saghalien north of the Jaxartes. Not one idea has emanated from the Steppe, not one law, and, with the exception of a dozen soldiers, not sine great man. Earth can spare the Tartar rulers of Asia. It is impossible, watching these things, to refrain from speculation on what the end may bo. We have some facts to guide us./ All history shuves that indigenous Asiatic races require the direction of a dominant class. Industrious, hardy, and with many of the qualities essen tial in the development of civilisation, they eeem to lack social force. India was in the days ot Aurungzebe what she was in the days of Ram. China is now what she was a thousand years ago. The Greek rayahs of Turkey are what the Greek peasant was in the days of Canta cuzene. Their numters even do not materially change. They do not advance, and need the directing force of a progressive race. It remains but to speculate on the races to whom this high function must be assigned. They must be European., for Itlur. , peans alone have ac quired the necessary superiority in amp. Off It is to E h u e r r op o e c a c o a s . the English and Russian. , alone display capacity for the permanent adieinislr ot sulject peoples. their bands that we believe Asia to be entrusted.
