THE WAR WITH CHINA.

FORTHER OFFICIAL PAPERS.

The morning mu published a parliamentary re-
tain of farther papers relating to the proceedings of her
Maelety's forces at Canton.
In a &met& to the Admiralty, dated December 29, Bear-
Adadial Bomar gime a detailed account of the deem-
tics by Ire of the facheite at Canton, and them is also •
despatch on the mane 'object from Sir John Deleting to
Earl Claresden. In the latter document the following me-
ws occurs :
" Her llnjedy's government will, no doubt, take into
'lady cressideration our present pcaition in China. As regards
the Canton question, it appears to me that our worse must
be derided by two principal oossideratione First, the
obtaining indemnity for Warier done, and (always holding
Imperial government reeposeible) it is digitalin that the
burden of the smiles should fall upon Canton itself. fie•
madly, the swearing for se a DMus redden in Canton, by
the appropriate& of a censidemble addition to the factorise,
esificient to tarnish or mere ants with warehouace within
the preeincta, and the whole secured from future attacks of
robbers or incendierim. These two objects accomplished, we
idea sot have to !egret the perverseness en the pert of the
Viceroy which ham brought about moults so doeiredie. And
their being upon our future relations will be moat irs•
meant, for I ma quite persuaded that an absolute triumph
at Canton will be the very bed initiative to succeeded awe-
dation& eleawhin ; and it warm to me that these sage-
nations moat be canted on elsewhere, for the Viceroy of
Castes is, of all sass, the Mutt Shad hr nsgettetion, end the
locality of Canton would 6y of ell pieces in the empire, the
hog dairehle." •

Ow the 3rd of January Sir John Owning points out to
Admiral Seymour the desirability of an early conference
between his Excellency and the Executive Council of Hong
Kong, on account of the Inadequacy of the military and
police force stationed there for the protection of the colony.
" In about a month," rys Admiral Seymour to Sir John
Boning, in the despatch of January 23, " I may begin to
look for the snivel of some of my expected rumen and
gun-boats." Sir John Bowling expresses envy confidence in
the admiral's prudence and foneight, and agrer with him
"in the paramount insperanee of securing a free purge
upon Canton with a view to fern operations."
The pares conclude with a letter from Admiral Seymour
to the Admiralty, dated the 30th of January, Mating to
am..••••ana• aa••••17 kikorn a she ielial. public. The dm.
patch cods se fellows :
"prey what I have stated in this letter, and my previous
communkelione, I treat their lordships will see the necessity
of sending out a further number of light-drafted stamen to
those already on their way, and that her Majesty's Govern-
ment will give directions for the speedy dispatch of a sua-
sion body of troops to act against the city of Canton, the
only mode of bringing this business to a astisfactory conclu-
sion, and placing Europeans on a proper footing in this
quarter. Although affairs at present are perfectly tranquil
at the northern ports, it is impossible to say how long they
may continue so, and there can be little doubt that on the
result of the misunderstanding at Canton will depend our

future position in the Chinese empire generally. I shall
return to the Canton river soon after tho snivel of

the royal mail steam-packet, now overdue. The squadron
still continues healthy; there is no change in the dispo-
sition of the ships."

THE C.IPT.IIIFB WIFE.

A leading article inthcErpress of Wednesday
narrated tho heroic conduct of a young American woman,
wife of the captain of a merchant vetoed, who daring her
husband's fines., throughout a long voyage, persevered in
performing the most difficult and reoponsiblo duller, the
mate being mutinous and disobedient. The following cor-
respondence has since appeared:
