much, however, is re • t le. The stormees
were met by a heavy fire of gingals and-
matchlocks, to which they replied with-rides. HAW
the pontoon party and half the ladder party were
hit. They crania tee ditches, one 10 feet width*
other 19 feel broad. They jumped, they main, they
walked mar dr the ranee of iaddem They got
over any how and every how that British and
•fireach soldiers can. They got through • forest of
staler and spikes, and finally reached ilte
foot of the wall. There they were addled
by showers of bricks, clods of mod, pigs
of powder with lighted teem, pout of go

or ever will stop British infantry ; and our
were quite se forward. English and
np in groups or separate, with only brie

side of a wall, are not likely to be logig
baulked. They scrambled up on Widen,' embrianl

and then the bayonet did its deadly work, ,
those who were fortunate enough to have anythiwg
to eat with them, sat down to breakfast half-
it eight o'clock. The slaughter was oceeithealMs
The Tartars fbusht fiercely, many of theta bend so
hand, after oar men got in, and nnetbsee was
shoe and bayoneted inside, and many ahot caddie
the fort. A multitude, some of them wounded,
others not, were drowned in the ditches and ATMs
trying to escape. Their low could not have hem less
than 1,000. Owes was heavy,and wasemeainedeithilly
in the advance to the wall-24 killed and .176
wounded was a serious price to pay for the mosses.
No (dicer wee killed, but 22 were wounded.
French loss, hue heard, was 100. The ad-
vanoed to the aerault with all that ilddlor
which they have ever been oelebented. As soon as
the place wee taken the gins in the cavaliers Intro
turned upon tar large fort beyond, but stew remade
had hardly been fired when down Game from the flag-
staffs that covered the walls the many-coloured
, war banners of the Tartars, and up ran the white
flag of truce. In a few momenta the ramparts of
all the forts, which just before had bees gay with
the brilliant coloured pennons,. displayed a milli-
tude of white streamers, and bring at once caned
on both aides. Then from th 4 Chinese cams a
deputation and letters, but not quite so sub-
=sure as might have been expected. We had
only one reply to give, " Unconditional mirrender
or the fight goes on." To this they world not
agree, and were let go with the assurance that at
two o'clock the white flag would be hauled down
and the attack recommence unless they had
already submitted. Two o'clock tame and the
troop, were in motion the 44th sod 87th Regireeota,
who bad borne themselves so nobly in the morning,
were now relieved by the 3rd Buffs and Bth Panjaub
Infantry, eager for the fray, and earnestly hoping
the enemy would continue the fight, but they were
doomed to dimppoinianent. They set out for the
fort, but on muted found no resistance. It was
given up without a shot, and 2,000 Tartar soldiers
laid down their arms and surrendered at discretion.
They were allowed to depart unmolested.
Then came another letter from the southern
torts, and Mr. Pukes going across the river
with a reply found them, too, abandoned.
A party of French and English went out to take
and before dark we were in occupation
rthelaraole line of defences, and Old England's
ensign and France, tricolor waved prondlyde by
side from the cavaliers of all the forts. The cam-
paign was over and had lasted just nine days. In
that time, after three actions, the Chinese had
, came to appreciate the power they had provolsed,
and the odds against whichthey had to contend.
They had seen their Tartar cavalry scattered like
chaff before the fire of our gum and the charge
of a handful of our sabres, their entrenched field-
work' taken without an apparent effort, and,
lastly, their farts, on Which they had expended
incredible labour and countless treasure, had fallen
after a brief though sanguinary conflict, and 2,000
prisoners and nearly 600 guns, besides immense
stores of the munitions of war had fallen into our
hunk Add to this, their oommander-in-chief was
killed in the fight—not, however, the Mongolian
liankolintain, for he had left the some some
days before, and gone off to Pekin. It is said to
be a characteristic of the Chinese that there is no
medium state between the highest elation and the
deepest despair in their mental phenomena ; and
it appears true, for now came the most abject sub-
mission. They would resist no more. We might
go to Tientsin—to Pekin--anywhare we liked.

Them is little moreto tell. The night of the 21st
the gunboats removed the Makes and opened
the passage of the river. On the following day. he
admiral went up to Tientsin in his steam tender,
and ooeupied the fort there with a few blue.jultete
and marines till the arrival of the troops. Yester-
day the Ist Royals and 67th Foot, with Barry's
lottery, were emit by gunboat. to Tientsin, and
this Lard ]E fn and the Commander-in-
Chief started for the same destination ; the latter
is expected back to-morrow, and soon after his
Muni its anticipated that the whole army will
move up thank The distance is only 32 miles,
and can be accomplished in two marches. The
work of the army is over, and diplomacy must do
the rest ; but it seems probable that a considerable
fame mud be left in Use north of China for the
winter, as a material guarantee for the faithful
observance of the treaty which will now be oon-
chided, and for the payment of the indemnity which
will be demanded.

On visiting the forte after their capture one is
greatly impressed with the singular ocintradio-
bona, so to speak, in the Chrome military cha-
racter, of which they aired so many striking evi-
deuces. The works sale a perfect marvel for inge-
nuity of eceetrustion and heated* is the execution.
The plan of the whole is admirable, the site pecu-
liarly well selected ; the utmost advantage has been
taken of the Weiser/ of the greeted ; the dithered
forts are so situated as to afford suateal
support ; in the hands of almost any other
Action they would have been irepreAable. But
with all their ingenuity to invent, with ample re-
emerges sad abundant material, and above all with
determined courage to defend, they have failed
born a went of knowledge of how to apply the
mauls at their disposal Perhaps it is too muck to
my, that had known how to use their artil-
lery, and how to thernaelvee from the fire of
ours, we could never have taken, the forts at
all ; but at any rats it would have been a
very dilllcalt and tedious operation. Agile, an
examination of their trasponn tills you with anew
merit. You see bows and arrows, crossbows and
Aisles, which carry you back to the middle are.
Rockets with fiery demand; emblazoned on them,
and heaps of bricks ready 'Lid to be showered upon
the foe, whieb remind you of the mimic fights of
your cebooldays ; old peewee of rusty, wonderfully
shaped ordnance, that would have been despised
in the days of Queen Elizabeth, and enormous
braes cannon of extraordinary cabbie and weight of
metal, that in the beauty of their mould and finish
are suggestive of Armstrong and Whitworth.
There is in all this a mixture of wisdom and imbe-
cility which is most perplexing. It is well known
that Indian preteens have for years shown a passion
for all Nagliah oontrivances, and have at greet
cad filled their palaces with watches and
clocks, mechanical toys, and perfect rife., of
which they do not understand either the principles
or the uses. They regard them merely as things to
be put on a stand or under a glees ease and looked
at. But this will not solve the Cheeses problem.
In mechanical contrivannee they are hardly inferior
to any nation in the world. These
marvellous gins
are their own manufacture, and they are hilly alive
to the importance of employing this, yet they
appear to cling with strange pertinacity to the
weapons of the ancient times, and the aseadants of
their fortresses are received with alternate dui-
amps of 68-pounder COMM bells and Eights of
&ATOMS.
