cipaiion of the Overland Mail, bring the accounts
from Canton down to the 24th of November, being
about nine days later than those received by the 11;s:,
direct mail from China. These advices s•aTe 'ha
hostilities continued; that the Americans had also
engaged in the struggle, and that trade remained
consequently at a stand still. Thus much is known
for certain Rumour adds, in explanation of the
engag, ment of the Americans in the stri e, that the
pike offered by the Chinese governor for the heads
of the English led to soma heads of Americans being
sent in, in mistake for those our countrymen"

has declined to send troops to Canton, and has re-
ferred the application for aid made to him by
