CAPTURE OF CANTON.

A supplement to the Loiidoe Gouge of last night
contains despatches td the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty from Hear• Admiral Seymour, con-
taining an account of the capture of Canton, and
lints of the killed and wounded. The following re-
lates to the operations subsequent to the capture :
Coromandel, at Canton, Jen. 14, 1868.
Bir,--In continuation of my litter No. 14, of the 13th '
instant, I have the honour to report proceedings at Canton,
enbeequent to the 30th December.
Ga the 31at parties of Sappers end Miners commenced
thole preparations for blowing up Omagh'. Fort and the
Upper Blue Jacket Furt, outeide the wells to the northward
of the city. and they were destroyed on the following day,
the former Ly the Anglia,. the Able by the French, On As
evening of the 31st a heavy explosion took pleas OW the
North-east Gate. A moos's@ of Chinese
_powder was being
cleared out, when, by acme academe, it exploded and 17 sea-
men were severely burned.
On the let ofJannary, the French and English ambassadors
visited Canton, under atlutes, both on arrival and departure.
No communications haring been received from the Chinese
authoei,,ev, who had not iu any way recognised our capture
of the city, it was determined to march a body of troops
through it, and endessoar to effect their tapas*. On the
sth Mee, therefore, at 8 o'click in the morning, the city was
suddenly entered in three different places. A strong division
oldie French Brigade, heeded by their gallant Commander-
Foorreded to the won gate, and, leaving a portion
peeless of that point, hastened to the residence of the
Tarter genentl, who was captured by Captain Jules Collier.
The mural and myself entering to the northward, marched
down the north street towards the Taman of Pe
the Governor, who was taken by the Royal
Marlow under Colonel Holloway ; and, es we were
holding a conference with the prisoners shindy in
our poressi,m, Mr. Parkes, her Mej.sty's consul,
arrived, with the gratifying intelligence that Commodore the
Rua. Charles Elliot, with Captain's Key's division of the
naval brigade, bad seized Yalu the imperial! oonamiesioner,
with all the provincial records, which are now : Ang examined
by Mr. Wade' Chinese semetary. We directed the these
captives to betaken to headquarters, much ag..thet the Inch-
nation of Pequi and the Tartar general, who dated their will- I
ragman to treat, and that they bed not bent informed by
Yoh of our summons for the surrender of thee*. A party
of Roj al Marines, under Colonel Lemon, was also sent to
secure the imperial treasury, which was effected, sad 300,000
dollars in lyres agree taken possession of ; no opposition
was offered to any of thee, proceeding., and the troops re-
turned to their quarters. The silver la now on board the
Calcutta for custody.
An account by Commodore the Hon. Charles Elliot of the
manner in which Yrh was taken I. herewith enclosed, No. 1,
for their lordships' pernail.
The streets of Canton are narrow, and the bonsai ern
mostly of one story, and with the exception of the public
buildings and stone arches, are of mean appearance. Them
is a greet deal of open ground inside the walls.
On `Lelia arrival at headquarters he was aeked sitar the
foreign prisoners known to have been in his pomseaioa. His
Excellency was perfectly indifferent on the subject, and re-
plied that he would chow us their graves, 43 they had all
_died. He added that he had taken great trouble with their
burial. It having been determined to send Yeh to the In-
flexibie till it shall be dec tiled how his Excellency M to be
disposed of, Captain Hill conveyed him on board. Pequi
sad the Tartar general remained at headquarters.
On the 6th Instant a conference was held by the arebes-
sedan in the city, to determine what should be done tibiae
captives. It was agreed that the Inflexible should
with the Imperial Commissioner and anchor off Tiger Maid ad,
and that the government of the city should be restored to
Pequi, subject to our control, on the conditions epecitled in
the inclosed paper No. 2, which his Excellency acceded to.
On the 9th, therefore. the anatnisadore, and the corn•
manders.in-chief of the allied forces, proceeded in state to
the city, and having installed Pequi under a 'elute ea go-
vernor of the city, appointed a tribunal, as settled by the
hews submitted to -hie Excellency, composed of Word
Holloway, Royal Marines, Capitaine de Frigate Mardasaa.
and Mr. Parkes, her Majesty's Consul at Canton. A guard of
200 Royal Marines (which has since been and a
party of the French Naval Brigade were left fa the mann
to The
sup the Governor. gates ere now open
day, sad trmaquillity bee beencity uninterrupted from thbye
moment of the poeseseion of the city.
In consequence of the peaceful aspect of affairs, I have,
with the sanction of blejor-Oral Van Straubnaes, re-
moved the whole of the Naval Brigade totheir ships, leaving
the garrison composed of the troops, Royal Marine., and
bench Naval Brigade. I enclose a copy of a general order,
No. 3, lamed by the Major-General on the Brigade quitting
Canton.

An excellent line of communication has been made by
Captain Hall, twisted by Commend., renewal and Captain
Fisher, Royal Engineers, along the saes dry well to
the water, above the French Folly, with a serviceable
pier ; and the commies'/Mt and military stores of the
English and French are now in centre of completion. The
very useful corps of Chinese coolies relied at Hong Kong
by the military authorities convey all the supplies to the
front, a great saving of labour to the troops.
The future conduct of this question will now, unless hos-
tile measures again become netemary, rest with the ambas-
sadors of the allied powers.
His Excellency Eli, John Bowing having obligingly, on
toy application, attacked Mr. Harry 8. Parkes, her Majesty's
consul at Canton, to my staff, I have greet pleasure in cell-
Mg their ketlehips' notice to the important services rendered
by that gentleman. His seal and sulky, with his intimate
knowledge of the manner., eestmns, and language of the
Chinese, hare been turned tomost valuable amount.
I ace glad to report that the health of the forces afloat and
on shore continues satisfactory.-1 have, care.,

The following Is dm cocksure referred to in the foregoing
dispatch
Head Quarters, Naval Brigade.
Canton, January 6, 1868.
Mr,-1 have the honour to acquaint you how it MOW to
the share of 100 bloc jackets, ender Captain A. C. Key MB,
to make the important capture ot his Excellency Yob, mg
the valuable documents found with him.

Caplets Key was moving down at 8 a.m. Ma menhir,
with hie perry, to the pcsition you bad usigned to lefm at
the south-esst corner of the Parade-ground, aoconapa by
ease, when Mr. Consul Pukes informed us that the most hn-
poetaat point, via., the ackle College, inform-
Ike received, Yell was supposed to be. had nbeen visited.
I offered to grant him an mood, which he gladly aoospted,
and we therefore accompanied him to the above-named
building.
We found it deserted, bat Mr. Parkes there ascertained
that Yeh had only left it on Thunday last, and he succeeded
fa Oohing up a guide, who pointed out on a map the position
• Yeh's present abode.
From thence we proneded to the Lieutenant-Governor's
Yanattn, which wee already in the possession of Colonel
Holloway, R.M., and Mr. Parkes having confirmed his pre-
rims intormarion by the statement of two other men, we ad-
vanced without loss of time to the south-west corner of the
city to take pot session of the Lieuternint-General's Yarann,
where the three guides we now had with us affirmed that
Yoh then was; theme ms also knowing him by sight. We
pushed on as rapidly as possible, and on arriving in front of
the building burst open the doors and rushed in Mune-
&lately.
Several pink button Mandarin, war first seized, but at the
further end of the house, on Captain Key bursting open a
door, he perceived a stout mandarin endeavouring to escape,
end immedittely secured bin, assisted by my coxswain.
Mr. Parkes then brought in each guide separate) ,y and,
on being removed, each stated that the person seized wee
Yth.

The attention of Mr. Parkes was then tamed to esourtag
the records and official correspondence, of which a large
quantity was found.
In the performance of this search it yew to open
army' cheat found in the building, as moat of them con-
tained papers ; and every care was taken to prevent the de-
s.ruct ion of clothes and a vast amount of valuable property,
which was repacked and left in the house.
I cannot speak too highly of the good behaviour end r•ga-
I .city of the foramen employed with our small party, which
wee mach contributed to by my aide-de camp, Lutenant
Alfred Teton, and the Aloes commanding them, Com-
mander Need, Lieutenants Clutterbuck and Bogle.
It Is not forme to represent the skill and ability displayed
by Mr. Parkes, fhither than to observe that the sumer of
the capture is des to him.—l have, de.

THE MED]

(MOW 0011 OWN OORRBSIONDINT.)
HaA, Fes. 20.
On the lath her Majesty's ship rpy returned
from Italy, when she bad been seat to lend Father Z appeal,
the Jesuit preset, to whom Sir William Reid, the Governor,
bad refused =emir= to land In Malta.
On the 17th her Majesty's ship Wanderer returned from
havisg conveyed there the British Via-Cenral Reid
andfimlly. Some gentlemen and ladies took advantage of
her going to bays a look at Tripoli. The Bey, Osman Packs,
was very hospitable and courteous ; asked the gentlemen to
dinner, took one of the ladies in his own catnap to • ppl(o-
-nic,
and gave two reviews, one of about 5,000 foot and 800
cavalry ; the other of about 600 Bashi-Bazooka
The dinner was a near approach to a European one, but bad
enough of the Eastern character to make it interesting—such
as •bunb roasted whole, which wns capital. There were 19
lenses present, the hour was 7 p and all descriptions of
wise were supplied, of which the Turkish goads all imbibed
t"eexcept the commander-in-chief of the troops, a stern
oldllanulman. On the return of the Pache from the pic-nie
with the young English beauty, his cavacade being pre-
ceded by a stout Arab, mounted on an immense dromedary,
the Arab women fancied It was a wedding, and came out to
widows them with the Arab marriage songs, but they were
speedily =deceived. The European ladier had an oppor-
tently wad= his Harem end his one wit. the Bey restrict-
ing himself to one. The Turkish authorities paid a visit to
the ship, end appeared much pleased with the gun exercise,
the firing of shells and other manoeuvres. It was quite
a time of feasting during the Wanderer's week's
stay, and the European Consuls gave dinners
and entertainments. Previous to leaving, the Bey seed
the young lady who had accompaniel him in his canine an
Arab pony, which Is cream coloured, with black inane and
legs. The scene at the gate of Tripoli was most exasiting
when the Bey entered driving an English lady In his car-
tie= since d was a thing unheard of In Tnpolt for the Bey
to le so free with • " Feringhee," and the wild Bean-
Balm= and Moore could only conceive that the Bey must
hays taken the beautiful stranger as his bride, so that as he
pared through, some 200 of these Bashi-Bar.Zuks, mounted
as they ware, set up a wild Moorish about, equivalent to our
hurrah, and threw the guns high up in the air, and caught
thorn se they daxnded. This is the highest compliment
that the Turks can pay to a superior, and whenever they do
it they become greatly excited. There is • peculiar and in-
describable wildness in the cry they set up on such an occa-
sion. The old Bey stroked his beard, and appeared gratified
at the very idea of his subjects supposing he had obtained
such • beautiful treasure for his bride. During the stay of
the vessel the whole of the officers were supplied with horses
from the Pacha's stables, and he behaved to every way as
a free hearted, liberal, Turkish gentleman. The Wanderer
leaves on Monday for Tunis, conveying there, on a diplo-
matie mission, the Hon. Victor Moulton. chief secretary to
this government. On the 19th, her Majeaty's ship Indian
arrived from Greece. 21st Her Majesty's ship Urgent waived
from Alexandria.
