INDIA AND CHINA.

On Monday last we published a telegraphic message
from Trieste, in anticipation of the overland mail. We
have now received our Calcutta parcels and papers.
The following is a summary of what had occurred since
the departure of the last mail
Nothing definitive had been heard from Rangoon, but
it was confidently expected that the very next steamer
would bring the treaty, duly signed, and that peace
would more once reign throughout British India.
All was quiet in the province. The entire Aeng Pass
was in our possessiop, and the Burmese had withdrawn
altogether from its vicinity. The Arracan battalion
had returned to Sandoway, leaving a sufficient force for
the protection of the Pass during the coming rains.
Sickness in the corps was, we regret to hear, greatly
on the increase. The severe cases of fever were prin-
cipally confined to those men who had been absent in
detachments during the past cold season in the Aeng
Pass and elsewhere.

The Bombay letters and parcels which should have
come by this arrival were forwarded by the previous
steamer.

The following is extracted from the Overland Calcutta
Star

"Since the departure of the last overland mail no
news has been received from Burmah. We reported in
our last issue that the Phlegethon, which was supposed
to have been dispatched with the Governor-General's
ultimatum, in reference to the treaty, had been obliged,
in consequence of sickness on board, to put back to Cal-
cutta ; she started again for Rangoon on the 11th inst.,
but whether the mail she carried was big with the fate
of Burmah or not has not yet transpired. One of our
contemporaries stated, a few days ago, that the ratified
treaty was daily expected from Rangoon ; but if there
be any truth in the statement that the treaty has been
referred to the Governor-General in Council, it would
.appear that this announcement is rather premature.
However, the Indian public are-tired-of the business ;
and if we may be allowed to judge from the papers, we
should say that for the last ten days Burmah and its
affairs have been almost entirely forgotten.
"An epidemic disease, something resembling the
plague in its symptoms, which first made its appear.
ance in the Eusofzye country, appears to be rapidly
spreading itself along our north-western frontier. The
latest accounts report its having extended to the left
bank of the Cabul river, opposite to Naosheera, a vil-
lage distant about 16 miles from Peshawur. Fears are
entertained of its visiting the station, and precautionary
measures, such as the establishment of a quarantine at
each of the different ferries leading from the Eusofzye
country to Peshawur, have been adopted. It is the
general impression among people at Peshawur, that as
soon as the hot weather sets in its ravages will cease.
Since Brigadier Hodgson's late raid against the Kus.
ranees the frontier tribes would appear to have been
tranquil."

CHINA.
HONG KONG, MAY 5.

The mail of the Bth of March, from London, arrived
here on the 24th ult. An outward mail leaves to-day.
The health of the garrison continues good, and, dur-
ing a review of the troops by his Excellency Major:
General Jervois this week, their movements and disci-
pline called forth general approbation.
From the north we have no later advices than to the
12th ult., forwarded by the last mail, of the 21st ult.
It is reported that an overland express has arrived at
Canton, stating that the insurgents had defeated the
Imperial troops, and were proceeding northwards
towards Pekin. For the confirmation of this we must
wait the next arrival from the north, hourly expected.
We mentioned, on the 28th of March, the novel and
extraordinary proceeding of an armed French force
being in the small garden at Canton for the purpose of
erecting a flagstaff; against the wishes and protest of
the community.
We have now to report one of the most grave and
serious insults and outrages that has probably ever
been recorded, in the capture of two Englishmen by the
armed marines of the French corvette Capricieuse, in
the small garden of the community at Canton, the act-
ing English Consul's authority totally disregarded, and
the two gentlemen forcibly and rudely taken off to
Whampoa, where, after about an hour's questioning,
they were liberated by Captain Rocquemaurel, they
having been found to have committed no offence what-
ever.

Great excitement and indignation were caused among
the community at Canton, and, to prevent any further
collision, the leading merchants of the community rallied
round to protect the French flagstaff. Sir William
Hoste, senior naval officer, went up to Canton on the
Ist inst., and it is said Captain Rocquemaurel has given
a proper apology for the insult ; but nothing has been
published, nor does it appear that he has taken into
consideration the outrage committed on the two English
gentlemen. His Excellency M. Bourbillou has gone up
to Canton.

There has been much exaggeration as to persons com-
mitting annoyances against the French armed force, ap-
parently with the object of increasing the ill feeling, but
it must be borne in mind that the aggression sprung
from the French authority, and an armed force—with
no good intent towards the community of merchants
and gentlemen—is fortunately of rare occurrence in
Canton.

The United States' steamer Mississippi anchored in
the harbour on the 27th ult., and proceeded to Shanghai
the same day with Commodore Perry on board. The
Peruvian barque Caprice has been taken up by Commo-
dore Perry as an extra store-ship.
The ship Emigrant, from Whampoa, to Demerara,
with coolies, is detained here on account of sickness on
board, and an investigation is going on regarding her.
The uncertainty that exists regarding affairs in the
north seems to affect prejudicially markets at Canton,
where, since our last, business has been limited, and, in
general, at a decline on previous prices.
Longeloths, cotton yarn, and woollens are lower.
Metals are firm. Rice continues high, mid the export
rigidly prohibited from Canton. The transactions in
exports have been small. Some settlements of Canton
congou have been made at 18 to 21 tls. High prices
are talked of for the new season's teas, which are ex-
pected to arrive early, but we have no information yet
as to the crop that is to be relied on.
Exchange on England, ss. ld. to ss. for six months'
bills ; on India Company's accepted bills, 239 r. to 240 r.
per $lOO.

Freights to England, nominal to 3/. 10s. There is
still a demand for tonnage to the exports. The Tinto
has not yet completed her cargo for London.
In Harbour—Her Majesty's ship Spartan, United
States' barque Caprice. At Whampoa—Her Majesty's
brig Rapid, French corvette Capricieuse, and United
States' ship Supply. At Macao—United States' sloop
Saratoga. At Amoy—Her Majesty's steamer Rattler.
At Shanghai—Her Majesty's steamers Hermes and
Salamander, her Majesty's brig Lily, United States'
steamer Susquehannah, sloop Plymouth, and French
steamer Cassini.

Our latest dates are—from England, Bth March ; Cal-
cutta, 31st March ; Bombay, 4th April ; Singapore, 17th
April ; Melbourne, sth February ; Shanghai, 12th
April.

The Challenge (American) arrived at Hong Kong, on
May 2, from London.
Letters of yesterday from Canton mention that
the French force had retired from the garden, and all
was quiet.
_ _

May 6. Though the dispatch of the mail has
been put off till 2 p.m. to-day, to afford an opportunity
of sending on the important advices hourly expected
from Shanghai by the steamer we regret that we continue
without any arrival from the north, being upwards of
three weeks without having any communication from
Shanghai.

The Spanish war steamer Don Jorge Juan arrived
from Manilla last evening with dates to the 30th of
April.
Exchange on England ss. per dollar. British tonnage
wanted for the colonies.
From Canton we have nothing later.
