The London and China Telegraph publishes the
following letter :

OFF THE PEMO, Avuon 12.

My last was dated from Tah-lien•Whan, and we were then
in expectation. Our hopes had indeed been cheered by the
advent of Lord Elgin, and we looked forward to souse defi-
nite movement, which has at last been taken. It is now
too late to speak about the time wasted daring this summer
season, as we have at last a chance given as, and • like honest
hancho PAULI, we must not look too dimly at our gift
bores. If neglect has been the prelude, energy must now
willpowert, for it, unless all concerned with the direction
of this undertaking are willing to accept the odium which
must attach to those who bee great opportunities
and trifle with their nation's interests. They seem
sow willing enough to work, and therefore let us give
some little commendation when it is deserved. On the
'26th of last month, we started from Tab-lien-When, the
day when the steam fleet moved to Odin Bey to be ready
to reader assistance to the numerous sailing vessels which
Were employed by the Government. We left en WWII for
the Nib° ; and if the Chinese were on the watch, it was a
sight sufficient to awaken their gravest apprehensions. Not
less than zu sail of English vessels left, in such admirable
order that nothing was to be desired.
The coniniand of the military is in Sir Hope Grant's
hands, and if report speaks truly, we need no better soldier.
The landing of the troops necessarily occupied some time ;
this has been effected most satisfactorily. I should here
mention that the main body of the fleet is at anchor about
five miles from the shore. The land is so low that it is
hardly perceptible, and, although every top was filled with
men and officers, it was two days before any reliable informs.
tion could be obtained. The following, however, may he
quoted as authentic.

On reaching the shore to the north of the Padang forts,
a large body of Tartar cavalry was discovered, which had
been despatched from an entrenched camp some few mike
inland. It was at first thought that they would render
, the undertaking one of some difficulty ; but upon firing
some three or four rounds of shell and shot, they veil,'
quietly rude back again, leaving the coast undefended. The
Preach, whose force ou this occasion was larger than the
English, rapidly effected their purpose, and the English
were not long in following their example ; wine slight skir•
mailing took place with a portion of the enemy, in ,which
we had some 14 wounded ; these all amongst the military,
one Captain Greathead being, I regret, seriously ea. Oa
UN neat day, or the one following, they proceeded to
advance against the forts, the gunboats, front their light
draught of water, being able to go up the shallow river
which forms the false mouth of the l'eiho here. These
forts were, to all appeanume, well supplied with guns, and
• considerable resistance was expected. You may jade,
then, et the surpris
es d the fumes to find them utterly
undefended. The proceeded to occupy
then ~,pmt midso eautioliefTthinkiigit—ritly,
from the known character of the Chinese that some beep was
laid, and it was fortunate that it was w,for before eatering,the
first fort, the man who was reconnoitring found the bridge
across the dry ditch which surrounds it trembling with his
weight, and, upon a careful examination being made, it was
shown to he so constructed with levers, kc., as to form a
large hammer, which, on the rush of any body of men,
would have exploded some detonating powder in commuid•
cation with a large quantity of gunpowder, effectually de-
stroying fort and all within it. Of the guns found some
were ouly wooden dummies. but a large supply of Chinese
rockets was there, and the soldiers amused themselves by
expending these harmlessly in the air.
7tWith the esceitin of the occupation of three such forts,
we L;v.ihitlTerto dune nothing but make preparations fur
the march inland, and the first attack of real consequence
will be begun to•morrow. The first will, I am informed,
be a feint ou the part of the military, and an attack upon
the eutrencliud ramp I spoke of before; if this draws off
their attention from the forte the gunboats will begin a
bombardment, and from their number and the weight of
the guns they carry, will, I fancy, rather astonish John
Chinaman. An easy victory is not expected, for it seems
pretty well known that many of the engineers are Rillaitaa
and nut Chinese

The safe landing of the troops, their occupation of the
Pehtang forts, and a skirmish with Rome Tartar cavalry,
the sum total of the news. Speculation is rife as to the
probable issue of the uext steps, as upon the rapidity with
which the Taku forte are overcome depends virtually the
length of the campeign. If we occupy them after an at-
tack lasting but a day or two, we may hope to date from
Peking this year; if siege operations of any magnitude are
'lamasery, we shall have to wait another moo& Nearly
every one is heartily sick of the inactive life they hare been
leading since the commencement of the expedition.

An advance took place ou tiue 12th August, when
the Tartar camp was attacked and broken up. Our
troops then proceeded on through some villages to
the Takn forts, which were well defended. The
assault was expected to come off on the 15th. We
are happy to add that the troops were quite healthy
and in high spirits when the news left.

From tihanTgliae the intelligence is of a disastrous
nature. Owing to the proceedings of the rebels
trade was quite stopped. During the sight of the
13th August the rebels bad managed to post up
proclamations iu the foreign settlement. This fact
caused great excitement and alarm. The foreign
reoddeuts had previously formed themselves into a
volunteer corps.

" It is but justice to the rebels to state," says the
Chilies Mail, " that hitherto they have shown every
inclination to be on friendly terms with foreigners ;
and when the latter paid visite to them at &Wain
they were treated with every courtesy, and the re-
bels expressed themselves anxious to eneourrge
trade. This was no mere profession, as foreigners
had gone on several occasions inland no purchase
silk, when the rebels might have prevented it.
Although it was not strange for the rebels to
threaten to attack the native city of Shanglme
(which is protected by foreign troupe), people
were not prepared to believe they would actually
attempt it. However, on the evening of the
day the wail steamer loft (18th) they tried to
wry their threat into execution. They first
I attacked the south gate, but were repulsed by ar-
tillery, and they afterwards tried it from another
point, where they were also repulsed by-the French.
The suburbs were then set fire to, to drive the
rebels out, we believe, as it wns first supposed they
were harbouring thine. It is difficult to say
whether the rebels could have committed greater
devastation had they taken the place, and it is also
difficult to say how far Mere. Bruce and Boer-
bunion are to blame for placing foreign troops to
protect the native city, and thereby bring us into
collision with the rebels."

" The rains have ceased during thellast fort-
night throughout the whole of the north- visit pro-
vinces, and the approaching harvest is again in
jeopardy. The present price of grain, more
especially wheat, continues high. The resto-
ration of territory recently made by the
British government to the Nizam of Hydera-
bad, has been attended with beneficial results.
From Oude we learn that jewels to a large amount,
the property of the rebel Queen's mother, have
been seized and appropriated by the British govern-
ment. Several of the witnesses who gave evidence
iu the recent libel case at Lucknow have been in-
dicted for perjury, by order of the presiding judge
at the trial."

Income tax commissioners have been appointed
in Madras. The bill for levying a license duty on
arts, trades, and profession. has been read a second
time in an amended form. It is now made supple-
mentary to ibis income tax. All professions, and
cultivators who sell their own produce, are exempt.
The rates are from Re. 3to 1 a year. The tax on
tobacco dealets,ranging from 2 to 100 rupees a year,
is vigorously opposed by Mr. Sconce, the member
for Bengal, and Sir Barnes Peacock. The bill
will be modified in committee.

The indigo report has been given in and will be
immediately published. It is not signed by the
planters' representative. It is believed to be
hostile to the present system of indigo cultivation.
The police commission have finished their la-
bours. They have recommended a system of police
under each local government, like that recently
introduced into Madras. At,

A bill had been introduced intolthe Legislative
Council to provide for the supply of coolies to the
French colonies, in terms of the convention between
France and England.
The famous crystal throne of Delhi has been
sent to England by the ship Saladin for presenta-
tion to her Majesty.

The " Latest News" of the Patriot is as follows

" Despatches from Naples state that the Dicta-
toes government is exclusively occupied with
Pleasures in relation to the plebiscite of October 21.
A large majority iu favour of annexation is ex-
pected iu the towns and central places, but it is
feared that the inhabitants of the rural districts
will not take the trouble to go to the pull, and it
has eousoquontly been determined that official
agents shell collect their voted at their houses. It
is known that iu many provinces great etlorts will
be made to parelyse the plebiscite, and it has there-
fore been decided to send troops to assure the free-
dom of the vote.

"Fur some days past there ham been a smart
cannonade at Carnt, but without any result. It is
thought that operatious will not bu seriously re-
sumed on the Volturno until after the vote of the
21st. The King continues to make great defensive
preparations at Gaeta, and there is great activity
in thu port. The Piedinoutese squadron, com-
manded by Admiral Perfume, has not yet appeared
at Gaeta, on account, as it is believed, of a counter-
order from Turin, sent as soon as it was known
that the blockade was not recognised by the
powers."
