CHINA.

The accumulation of goods outside Canton i 3 immense, and
will now, without doubt, be thrownon the market. Prices will
rule very low. Patna opium is quoted at 400 to 410 Spanish
dollars, I3enares at 400, and Mulwa at 410.
The.following is the proclamation issued by the Joint Im-
perial Commissioner concerning the opening of the trade.
It must be received with much qualification, for Captain Elliot's
demands were not as stated. There was no intention of re-
moving the ships of war from Canton :
PROCLAMATION from the Joint Commissioner Yang and
the Acting Governor E, calling on the People to Resume
Commercial Intercourse, March 20.

" Yang, Joint Imperial Commissioner, Noble of the Second
Order, &c., and E, Acting Govbrnor of the Two Kang, &c.,
hereby issue proclamation to carry on commercial intercourse
as usual, and peacefully to pursue ordinary avocations.
" Whereas, upon the 19th of the present month, the English
Plenipotentiary officially represented that it was his desire
to maintain peace, and he demanded nothing else, but only
immediate permission for the trade to be carried on as usual.
" And whereas the commercial intercourse enjoyed by va-
rious countries is owing to the good pleasure of the Celestial
Court that all should cherish tenderly men from afar.
" Therefore, the English Plenipotentiary having so repre-
sented that he demands nothing else but trade only, and the
merchant ships of America having, in consequence of the war,
suffered detention, so that their cargoes remain unsold, and
there is no prospect of returning homeward, a change cannot
but be made commensurably to these circumstances permitting
them alike to trade, and thus displaying a compassionate regard.
" While the facts will be duly represented to the Throne,
they proceed to issue these special commands for the infor-
mation of all. For this, then, it is proclaimed to all the
tradesfolk, soldiery, and people in general, for their full infor-
mation, that henceforward the merchants of all nations are
alike permitted to repair to Whampoa and trade, and you
will hold intercourse with them, and pass to and fro, as
usual ; and there shall be no hindrance or obstruction made,
nor any trouble created. After the English vessels of war
shall be withdrawn, it will yet more be right and seeming
to protect, and carefully to look to and well treat, the merchant
vessels at Whampoa, and the merchants dwelling at Canton.
Let every one tremblingly obey. Oppose not this special
proclamation.
" Taoukwang, 21st Zaar, 2d month, 28th day, 20th March,
1841. (True Translation.) _

" J. ROBT. 'MORRISON,
Chinese Secretary and Interpreter."
(True Copy.) " EDWARD ELMSLIE,
Secretary. and Treasurer."
(From the
.Canton Register, March 30.)
The mere reports are that the English ships of war have re-
moved below the city of Canton about a mile and a half ; that
the British flag was hauled down in Canton on the evening of
the 26th instant, the guard removed, and the flag has never
since been hoisted. The further demands of the local Govern-
ment now are, that all the English ships of war are to leave the
river, the fort and island of North Wangtung to be evacuated
and surrendered to the Chinese, before any trade as usual can
be recommenced.

_lf these demands are complied with, the next that will be
pressed upon her Majesty's Plenipotentiary will Probably'be,
to rebuild the Bogue forts at English cost, and on the latest
and most improved scientific principles of defence and offence.
Will not his Excellency's magnanimity grant such reasonable
and modest demands?

More troops are daily arriving in Canton, but we know no-
thins of Yihslian's movemoras.or intentions, if he.,is *lee(' in
Canton,. It was rumoured 'on Saturday thst he had annulled
Yang's proclamation for renewing the trade with the English. .
About 15 ships are now supcved to be at Whampoa t the
treatment experienced by the English and United States vessel,
un ier the renewed usual trade, will probably furnish matter for
remark next week or before.
The two officers of the Blenheim, Messrs. Bligh and Toole,
and Mr. Field, late chief mate of the Snipe, who, when their
boat was fouled by some Chinese boats on Thursday last,
jumped on board one of the Chinese boats, are said to have
been delivered up to the local auth,oritied.
Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary had offered a reward of $5OO
for their delivery. The Chinese Ggvernment offered a reward
for the seizure of English officers. May not the natives now
dance—dance they do not—but sing, to the tune of " Money
in both pockets," with greater glee than they did in the time of
the East ludia Company's charter?

On the 12th a Council Extraordinary was held at the Porte,
attended by none but the highest. functionaries. Their delibe-
rations are said to have been,relative to certain branches of in-
ternal administration.
The Porte is said to have received, from Nice and the dis-
tricts lately disturbed; intelligence of a satisfactory nature.
Yacoub Pa-ba, the Governor of Adri.;.nople, had arrived at
Sopha, with two regiments of flat line and about 6,000 irregu-
lars. Hufzi Pacha, the Governor pf ljskap, had reached with
12,°°° men Hussein Pacita, Governor of Vidin, with 3,000;
and although this congrogatedf-force was by no means requi-
site, inasmuch as all opposition o.i the part of the rebels has
ceased, still its appearance will have a salutary effect.
The Ottoman steamer Peiki Shevket arrived here on the
10th, from Candia, bearing despatches from Taiiir Pacha.
Nothing very decisive appedrs to hava taken place there. Th,.i
plains were .cleared of insurgents as s..m as the Turkish
troops under Mustapha Pacha advanced against them. The
Turks have already 7,000 troqs'there, and the steamer Esseri
Hayir had been sent to fetch Albanians, who being accustomed
to mountain warfare, are just calculated for such service.
We last week, on the faith of certain private letters,-stated
that affairs had been quite settled in Persia; but it would now
appear that the writers of those‘letters had placed too high afi
estimate on the value of Persiin promises. it is true that the
Shah had engaged to arrange ivery thing to the entire satis-
faction of Great Britain, anditad even . sent an .order to'the
Governor of Korassan to deli,* up Ghorian to the Herattis
according to agreement ; but-the Governor 'was already pre;

gaihed-the ear of the .weak perjured Shalt, and succeeded in
persuading him that the English were excessively feeble in
Afghanistan, which was ready to rise upon 'and exterminate
them. The Shah, on the strength of this, refused to give up
Ghorian, and it appears by no means improbable that he may
be induced to accept the protectorate of Herat, which he
had previously rejected, with a view of conciliating the good-
will of England. Dr. Riach has therefore alj his work to do
over again, and we understand he is now on his way back to
Tehran.

JUNE 17.
THE CANDIOTE INSURRECTION.

Letters from Syria bring news of the success of the Candians
over the Turkish troops. It is said that three engagements
hai;e taken place, in two of which the loss on either side was
small, but in the third, when Mustapha Pacha commanded the
Sultan's troops, the latter were signally defeated with a loss of
400 men. Tahir Pacha continues to occupy Suda and its for-
tress, closely watched by the insurgents, who are 15,000
strong, but a few villages in the vicinity of the town sub-
mitted. The sum of 2,500 drachmas was subscribed by
Greeks in Syra, a large amount has also been sent from
the Morea to support the Candians, and they have also
many friends here among their co- religionists, by whom con-
siderable sums are now making up for them. A Turkish
steamer arrived in the last week from Candia, giving news
of the success with which Tahir Pacha had met. At
the same time, the Pacha, it is said, expressed
his wish for an immediate addition to his force,
as he had been greatly disappointed regarding the
actual strength of the Candians. A council was held
at Tophanah, where the Sultan assisted, and it is
generally believed that the condition of Candia was
its subject. Mehemet Ali Paella, chief of the Artillery, was
ordered to depart for that island with four vessels of war and
5,000 soldiers. The Candians are greatly enraged against a
certain M. Caporal, who was sent here by Mustapha Pacha, to
represent the condition of the island. lie brought with him a
petition bearing the names of a goodly number of the
islanders, expressive of their submission to the Sultan,
which names are now said to haVe been forged by the said
Caporal. The letters alluded to above mention that the
Candians are in good spirits and have great hopes of throwing
off the Turkish yoke. Four fire-ships had left Syra for the
Candian coast, and were hourly expected. Tahir Pacha hav-
ing heard of them, had called all his vessels into the harbour
of Suds. Notwithstanding the unfavourable answers of the
Consuls in Candia, the insurgents were yet in hopes of meriting
the sympathy of foreign Powers in their favour, which, in fact,
is their only true prospect of success.
There is no recent news of importance from Bulgaria. The
Porte is endeavouring to smother up that affair as expeditiously
as practicable. Three millions of piastres have been sent
there, wherewith to purchase and ransom the peasagts carried
off ito slavery by the Arnauts. It is said that several females
have been brought to this capital and sold as slaves to tins
Turks, notwithstanding the endeavours of the Porte to pre-
vent it. .

Since the departure of the Russian steamer with the new
firman for the Pacha..of Egypt, his case seems to remain in
statu qua. The new Russian Consul, Mr. Cramer, on his way
to Alexandria, is still here ; the Austrian Consul-General is
also here, and the new English Consul-General is expected, via
Vienna, and all will depart for Alexandria so soon as the Ft
reign-offiCe givee.he order to do so.
On the Bth 4instamt a Turkish brig from Alexandria
arrived here, with some sixty passengers on boar* fotiteeen
of whom were sick of the plague, and six of whom have singe
died. The. passengers were all disembarked .at the

•of Marmora, and the chief of the quarantine has taken every
possible precaution to prevent the contagion extending to the
City. The better-informed class qf Turks are as much alarmed
by this visit of their old enemy as the Franks, and those among
them who a few years ago regarded quarantine regulations
with contempt, now look to them for preservation from the
plague.

SMYRNA, JUNE 19.
We have no local news of the slightest interest to communi-
cate. Captain Arbuthnot, at:ached to the mission at Beyrout,
after having executed some private business with which he
was-charged, returned to Syria yesterday by the Count Ka
lo wratt.
Her British Majesty's corvette Dido, Captain Davies, quitted
our roads on Saturday last, on a special mission to Salonica.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 19.
Since nay last letter per Fi ench steamer, nothing of im-
portance has occurred. Admiral Sir William Parker and Sir
Henry Pottinger arrived by the Liverpqe, and proceeded im-
mediately to Suez. The India passengers only arrived yester-
day morning. The number of plague cases the last three days,
has been 15, 12, and 13 respectively.
