CHINA.
PROBABLE OCCUPATION OF PEKLN BY
THE ALLIES.
The Times publishes a long communication from its
correspondent in China. The rupture of negotiations
took place on the 7th of September, and on the Bth the
army moved forward on Pekin. On the 9th Lord Elgin.
followed, and on the 11th the outposts of the allied
forces had reached a place called Yung-Tsun, forty-five
nnles from Pekin. The Times thinks that by the middle
of,the month the English and. French were under the
walls of the capital, and that if the Chinese were disposed
to resist, another battle must have been fought about
this time. The anticipation in camp seems, however,
to have been that the Tartar army had been entirely
cowed by the European artillery, and it is most
probable that the appearance of the allies in the
neighbourhood of Pekin: would be the signal for
other overtures on, the part of the imperial mandarins.
It is possible that negotiations may have taken place
*which will allow the army to re-embark before the
approi3h of winter, but it seems far more likely that
the capital has been taken and occupied, and that it will
be held through•the whole winter. Nor can there be
any reason to anticipate danger from such a proceeding,
and the Times trusts to hear by the next mail that the
two generals in full occupation of Pekin have imposed
such terms on the enemy as will ensure its good
behaviour for many a year. .
