FORE] G3l INTELLIGENCE.

INTELLIGENCE FROM A CHINA.

Adviees have been received from Canton of recent ,
a date as the 17th of November. We regret to learn,
that land Amherst was on his return to Canton, with-
out accomplishing the object of his mission. During
his stay at Pain, which was about a fortnight, he made
every exertion to procure an interview with the Ern-
perm., without submitting to thc &Jading prostrations
which are imposed by the Court ethp.ette of China upon
those who arc suitors tbr an intreduction to the Impe.
riul Prescme. Finding the Emperor, however inflexi•
ble !Ton this point, flan the intrigues of the Mandarins
he left Pekin on the 7zlt of September, and was expected
to reach Canton übout the end of November. Presents
were exchanged, and his Lordship is said to be the b•.ar-
er of a letter from the Emperor to the Prince Regent,
though the Prince Regent's letter to him had not been
received. In addition to the above intelligence the let-
ters from Canton contain the particulars of an unplea-
sant affair, in which the Alceste was involved. It ap-
pears that the Chinese bad taken some offence against
Captain Maxwell, in consequence of which a number of
war boats were stationed r' and the Alcestc, and at-
tempts were made to interapt her supplies from the
more. No answer having been made to hie endeavours
to procure an explanation of the cause of his having
Leon placed under this insulting stet of qnaraieine,
Captain Mamvell resolved upon changing his anchor-
age, with the intention of more clearly ascertaining
the views of the Chinese, before he should resort to
extremities. The Alceste accordingly weighed anchor,
and pmceeded alt the river to the second bar. The
war beats, however, soon followed : and as the frigate
approached Chun Pee thvy fired at her, first with blank
cartridge, and next with shot. Captain Maxwell re-
turned their fire, in the first instance, with powder only
hut finding that had not the effect of preventing them
lice following him, he scut a single shot over the Ad-
miral's boat, merely to intimidate them. This had the.
desired effect. Upon a signal from the Chinese Admi-
ral, the flotilla ceased firing, amid stood off. At this pe-
Aid Capt. Maxwell brought the Alccste to an anchor,
in expectation of sonic communication from the Gore-
nor; but having waited, without receiving any, until
the evening, he weighed again, and stood towards the
Rogue. The boa- which followetnitn at a respectful
distance, now began to throw up rockets, and to make
other signals, which were promptly answered front the
forts in the Rogue. As the frigate advanced, lanterns
e vitilmed to be hoisted at the different flirts until they
became an entire blaze of light, and the ramparts were
s •en crowded with people. Two fix:s, one on the right,
the other on the letl, suddenly opened a tremendous
cross fire on the Alceste, without, however, any other
damage than that of receiving three or four shots in
the hull, where they stuck. The wind heading the fri-
gate in the narrow part of the Rogue, Captain Maxwell
was obliged to make a tack, which brought hint within
pistol shot of the principle fort, mounting forty guns
Ile resaved to avail himself' of the circumstance, in or-
der to chastise the insolence of the Chinese. He took a
station which enabled l:im to bring his guns to bear
on both forts, and gave orders for action. His com-
mand *as received with three cheers by the crew, who,
with a rapidity which overwhelmed the Chinese with
astonishment, discharged two succeseive broadsides, star-
board and lerboard. The tire of the forts instantly
ceased, the innumerable lanterns disappeared as if by
magic, and all was suddenly involved is total darkness
and silence. The Alceste was quietly suffertal to pro-
ceed to her destination ; and what is most singdlar, up
to the 17th of November not the slightest notice had
been taken of the Alit. by the Governor of Canton.—
He neither gave nor demanded an explanation, but con-
tinued to grant pcianission fir the British vessels to en-
ter the river, as it' nothing bud occurred to interrupt
the harmony between the two nations. It remained to
be ascertained in what light he may have represented
the ;Oak to the Court of Pain. We are happy t t learn
that there were none killed or wounded on board the
Alceste.

By way of comment upon the foregoing precious
epistle, we insert the following

STATE PAPER F:XTRAORDIN ARV !

A letter, written by order of Bill Soames to Lord
Sidmouth, is miderstood to have reached this country:
Some particulars of it have, transpired! he protests, in
the first place, against his confinement. He is not the
prisonerof his Lordship, for it was in his power to leave
eluded the Bow street officers, hail he judged such a
measure suitable to his di"nity ! or had it appeared
conducive to the repose of Fleet-street ! His abdica-
tion of his profession, he says, was entirely voluntary. •
He treats of the climate of Botany Bay in a manner
that chews him to be a connoisseur of weather, and net
easily pleased, having as much dislike to cold as to heat,
—to ouc " frightful climate," as to another. Finally
