Atlength we have been gialifted with •ietters direct from the Chinese Embassy. Lord Astnenst and his Suite arrived at ,Canton on New Year's Day, all well, atter a delightful journey of four months through the heat of the country. It tip. pe3rs that the immediate cause of the dismissal of the liknbassy without an au4jcuce " ii tho misre. presentations of, the Mini liter UTu-KUNG.YE, for 'ri►ich he was, ih a few days afterwards, distuibzied from all his offices and though an interchange of present, and .:ivilities after this took place, the Chinese did not ebuse to relax from their demand of the usual, degrading prostration 3, a demand which Lord ANIIMRST thought proper to tesist.- As we anticipated, no ill effects resulted from this ref usa; on the contrary , it appears, that the eh nese were all attention and civility. We have a letter from one of the Gentlemen composing the Suite, of which the following is an Extract : " Notwithstanding our abrupt dismissal from the Court, our journey towards Canton was not only attended by all the usual honours and marks of respect and attention shewil to Foreign Em- bassies, but: was rendered personally agreeable by a greater degree of liberty than I believe was ever enjoyed in China by any Foreign Einbasiy ‘v6t- soever, even by that of Lord IthwartskY. The liberty of making frequent excursions into the country and into the cities, was perhaps, strictly speaking, a liberty rather taken than a liberty given, but not the least objection was made to it, or the least obstruction thrown in the way of it. The uncommon duration of the journey, which, from the lowness of the rivers in particular spots, extended to four months, afforded unusual opportunities for these excur sions) but it would have been easy for the Offi cers of the Government to have imposed much greater restraint, without even affording "the Embassador any very tangible grounds of com plaint. The old ground of Lord MACARTNEY'S ourney %vas gone over to a great extent, but we also trod a considerable portion of new ground, or, more properly speaking, water. The chief novelty, however, was our navigation for six weeks, partly on that noble river, the Yang-tse-Kiang, and partly across that great inland Sea, the Po-yang lake to Nan-tchang-po, during which we had an opportunity of visititsg Nan•king, and the Lai shun, a mountain remarkable for its picturesque scenery. Captain MAxweLL, of the Alceste, and a Deputation of the British Factory, met us at a short 4listance from Canton, into which port the Ltnbas,atlor %I'm conducted by a procession of boats, but the Canton Chinese were very sulky, and nei. titer saluted the,VAnbassy nor turned out a single soldier. We were lodged in. a Temple among the Gods of the Heathen, which, hotvevcr, to do the Chincna justice, bah liven fitted up in a very coal. fortable manner. The dlces!e will be ready about the 24th instant (January), and we hope to see our friends in England the first week in Sufic.' We received this morning the Palk Papers of &Imlay last. The article we mentioned yesterday respecting Madame REGNAULT DS SAINT JSAU D'ANGel,,* is copied into the Mon iteur of Sunday. We think it is clear from this circumstance - that the article alluded to is put forth, with the view of paving the way for this lady's liberation.---The following are Extracts : U Pants, MAY 11.—It is the Raison de sante of Doctor Puzin, at Chaillot, to which Madame Regnault de St. Jeilfl D'Angely has been trans ferred..

M. one on the 9th December, and another on the 22d of that month at a quarter pas. 12 midnight ; the last was truly alarming. The darkness of the night, the howling ► dogs and other animals, the cracking of houses, the tremendous rumbling noise of the shock, which lasted more than a minute, excited the most dreadful apprehensions. But., thank God, the morning► rose, and it was found that the Colony had sustained .but little injury." (From the same Paper of April 10) By the arrival of the ship Sachem, from Port au-Prince, we learn thFit the privateer Ciuru Furct, formerly the Ant of Baltimore, had been seized, together with her three prizes, by Prriow, and it was expected they would all be condemned. A large amount of specie was found on board the privateer, and taken possession of by the Go vernment. A privateer schooner, commanded by CH AMPL/ had touched at POrt-au-Prince for supplies, where she remained four days. The Government were about to seize the schooner, when Captain CHAMPLIN ordered his men to quarters, and • threatened to *sink the'first vessel, great or small, that attempted to come along side with au Officer from the Government. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up last night, and the Army Estimates were again discussed. A proposition made by Mr. J. P. GRANT, that they should be voted only for three months, to give the Committee of FinAtm time to report on the income and expenditure of the Country, was, after a long debate, with drawn. Mr. CALCRAFT then submitted a motion for the recommitment of the Estimates, with a view to the reduction of 10,000 men, which was negatived by a majority of 88; the numbers being, for the recommitment, 56--against pit, 1 44. We have every reason to believe there is not any foundation for the following report, which has recently appered in the English Prints " Rome.—lt is said that the PaiNce REGENT and the Emperor of Russta have made known to the fora their desire to concur with his Holiness in extending the empire of our Holy Religion. It is thought, that, in virtue of an Article in the Treaty of the Holy Alliance, his Holiness will regain possession of the dotations of the Holy See in various States," Mr. PorrsoNßY has given notice in the House of Commons, Oa he will to-morrow put R ques. tion in his place to Minigrers—whether they think of proposing the continuance of the suspension of the Habeas Qorptis Act ? Last night, in the House of Commons, Lord Casnangszu, in answer to a question from Mr. 'PoNsoramr, stated, that it was not the intention of GovernMent to fill up the office of Chief Justice of Chester before the Committee appointed to in quire into the mode of dispensing the laws in Wales.bad brought in their R.eport., Yesterday the Duke of Yoex transacted mili tary business with the PRINCE Raottryr at Carl ton-house.--The Duke of CLARENCE visited the PRiNCE REGENT. We are happy to say the lioyal.Duke is perfectly recovered from his late indisposition. • Yesterday the Princess Et.izaewrit visited the Duchess of GLOUCESTER as nsual. Monday evening the PRINCE REGENT visited the Duchess of GLOUCtslerelt, and remained with his Royal Sister upwards of an hour. Monday 'limit) FAGEL, the. Ambassador front the Netherlands, and the Freneli Ambassador, had audiences of the Panics; REGENT at Carlton house. The Duke of WELLINGTON dined with Mr. ARBUTHNOT an Saturd a y, at his house in Dawn ing -street, where the Earl of LIVERPOOL,, the Earl BATHURST, and several , other of the Ca binet Ministers, were of .the party, amounting to twelve, Saturday last his Grace the Duke of WeLtarro- Inv passed through Rochester, on - his way to the, 'coast, in order to embark for the Continent. On ascending Chatham -hill, one•of the horses in the carriage which drew his Grime became restive, and in its struggles broke its leg, which rendered it incapable of further service. LOsto COettnat4g.—Yesterday, in the Admiralty Cow, Sir Wita.titst Scorr pronoenced judgment as 'to the important question of the adMissibility of Lord CoCHEANIVii Affidavit, in the affair of La I ills de Parsovie. The Learned Judge, after re 'viewing the various; authorities, was of opininn, that there was no Satisfactory definition or limita tion of the term crimen falsi, and that the law in this ease'should not be stretched beyond the prae tice of the Criminal or Common Law.. He was of opinion that the Affidavit was admissible. ' a It is currently reported,. that the County of Norfolk has received a gross indignity in the re cent declarution of a certain Gentleman, diet he had deposited a large sum of money at his banker's to carry the present election against Mr. Woos noose. We remember e- late Noble Man made a similar declaration as to Hampshire in 170 ; but by the spirited exertions of the yeomanry in that county he was defeated, and Sir WM. HaATr- CoTE "and Mr. CHUTE were elected by a large not,itifity. We hope the Freeholders of Norfolk trill, an the present occasion, skew as becoming spirit and zeal i n the maintenance of its integrity and independence ; and that it will not submit to be degraded by 811 influence as unconstitutional as it is injurious to its bust intetests sttd eharace ter, STATZ PRISONERS, against Thistlewood, ----ww" — The following is an abstract of the Itylictma and Hooper.
