MORNING SUN

CHIN A.

(From the Second Edition of the Times.)

Although our courier from Marseilles, bearing
the despatches which have reached that port by
the o'-erland mail, has not yet arrived, we have
been put in possession of the following intelli-
gence of a date a few days later than that of any
authentic news from China, and which we do not
feel justified in withholding from the public, al-
though a few hours will supply us with informa-
tion of a much later date, and with the fullest
details :

" By the Delhi, Captain Byron, arrived off
Torbay, Cape of Good Hope papers have been
received. These state that this vessel had touched.
at Table-bay, and thence obtained a Canton Re-
gistei• of the 20th of April. The following► is
the news as it appears in the Cape of Good
Hope Shipping List of the 29th of June :
" By Captain H. Byron, Jun., of the bark
Delhi, arrived in Table Bay yesterday, from
Singapore, we have been favoured with the pe-
rusal of a Canton Register, of the 20th of April
last, containing the following :
CIRCULAR TO HER MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS.
" British Factory, Canton, April 16, 1841.

" A satisfactory communication has 'this day
been received from his Excellency Commissioner
Yana, declaratory of the faithful intentions of his
newly-arrived colleagues concerning the arrange-
ment concluded on the 20th ult. between his Ex-
cellency and the undersigned.
"The Kwangchowfoo having also issued a pro-
clamation by desire of their Excellencies, in-
tended to re-assure the trading people, the Pleni-
potentiary has, for a like reason (with the con-
currence of the Government), made public the
accompanying notice under his own seal.
" CHARLES ELLIOT,
" Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary
" NOTICE.

" British Factory,Canton, April 16.

" Elliot, &c., learning that the industrious
people of Canton are disturbed by constant ru-
mours of secret warlike preparations against this
town and province upon the side of the British
forces, clearly declares to all the people
that these reports are false and mischievous.
The Commissioner Yang, and the high officers
of the province, acting with good faith and wisdom,
have now opened- the trade, and while their
Excellencies are fulfilling their sealed engage-
ments with Elliot, there will not be the least
disturbance of the peace at Canton by the Bri-
tish forces. The high officers of the English na-
tion have already manifestly proved that they
cherish the people of Canton, and if misfortunes
befal the city and the whole trade of the pro-
vince, assuredly the evil will not be justly at-
tributable to them.

" CHARLES ELLIOT."

" understand that while the negotiations
were still pending the trade was carried on, and
the ships loading at Whampoa as formerly;
freights for British ports 71. to 81. per ton. Teas
had risen 30 per cent.; European goods very
little in demand, and all transactions were made
in cash owing to the unsettled state of affairs.
" Previous to the Delhi's departure from Sin-
gapore, 27th of April, Sir Gordon Bremer had
touched at Singapore in the Queen steamer, on
his way, it was said, to Calcutta, for reinforce-
ments. The schooner Black Swan of this port
was reported in the Canton Register of the 20th
of April to be that day under despatch for Cal-
cutta."

The following vessels were spoken by the
Delhi:—

Staines Castle (signalized) from Whampoa to
to London, in- the Straits of Banca ; Herald,
Watt, from Whampoa, to Leith, May 18th, in
the Straits of Sunda; Chevalier, from Singapore
to London, June 26, of Cape Algulhas.
The Premier, Ware, from China, has arrived
at St. Helena, with a cargo of tea, and sailed for
London on the 16th of July. The Scotland,
Cuaning,ham, sailed from China to the Clyde,
was spoken with on the 20th of July in latitude
3 10 S., long. 17 30 W., with a cargo of tea.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

FRANCE.

The Paris papers of Wednesday continued to
indulge in speculations on the advent of the Con-
servatives to power in this country.
The Gazette de France states that the Belgian
Commissioners had their first interview with the
Ministers of Finance and Commerce on Wednes-
day. The plan for the Customs union between
France and Belgium having been abandoned, the
Commissioners merely demanded a reduction in
The Corn market was rather dull in Paris on
Wednesday, not more than 630 sacks of flour
were sold, and the prices underwent no variation.
The accounts of the harvest received from the
northern departments continued to be satisfac-
tory. Purchases for the English market had
been made at Bayonne and in Marseilles, wheat
had fallen from If. 50c. to 2f. 50c., and accord-
ing to the quality of the grain, in consequence of
the advices from England announcing the return
of fine weather.

The Moniteur Algerien announces the return
of General Belghaud to Algiers on the 20th from
the excursion to the Sakel, and the works in pro-
gress of construction near Belidah to protect the
Mitidgo on that side. The Governor-General
had published a decree prohibiting the export of
wheat and wool from the province of Constantia.
It was not true that Queen Christina had an
intention of proceeding to Bayonne as was re-
ported. _ _

- The French Funds declined at first in conse-
quence of a report that the Moniteur of the
6th, would give notice of M. Humann's deter-
mination to bring out the loan in the course of
October.

PARIS, SEPT. 2, 1841.—Three per Cents.,
77f. 23c. ; Spanish„‘2,l7i.

SPAIN.

Advices from Madrid of the 26th ult. state that
M. Olozago, the Ambassador of Spain in Paris,
was preparing to return to his post.
Two hundred galley- slaves revolted near Valla-
dolid, and retired into the mountains. The Go-
vernment had not yet obtained the advance of
60,000,000 of reals.
The Five per Cents. left off at 25 for cash, and
at 261 at 60 days.

GERMANY.
The Queen of Greece arrived at Ems on the
27th ult., travelling under the title of Countess of
MisElolonghi. Prince and Princess Metternich
left Cologne on the 29th ult. on their return to
Johannisberg.

TURKEY. •
A Constantinople Correspondent of the Au( .9..
burg Gazette writes, under date 11th
'
, that
Mehemet Ali having offered to abdicate in favour
of Ibrahim Pacha, on condition of being himself
appointed Grand. Vizier, the Divan had held fre-
quent meetings to deliberate on the proposition,
which was ultimately rejected. It was reported
that Taliir Paella would be made Grand Vizier
on his return from Candia.
A fire broke out at Scutari, but was extin-
guished without doing much damage. No new
case of plague
had occurred at Constantinople,
but at Ezzeroum the malady was makin,, exten-
sive ravages. On the 7th Colonel INiustapha
Bey was ordered to proceed to Alexandria to re-
quire of Iphemet Ali the immediate disbanding
of the Syrian soldiers, and to accompany them
back to their country.

SUDDEN DEATII OF E. J. SMYTHE, Esq.—
We have to announce the melancholy and sudden death
of E. J. Smythe, Esq., eldest son of Sir E. J. Smythe,
Bart., of Acton Burnell Hall, in this county. On Satur-
day last, whilst riding with the respected Baronet and
others after a buck in the park, he was suddenly seized
with illness, and fell senseless from -his horse ; and so
violent was the attack, that bofore surgical aid (Mr.
John R. Durnell, of Pitchford, who lost no time in being
on the spot) could reach Acton Burnell, life had fled.
It is supposed that from exertion a ruptured vessel
caused his death.—SalTian Journal.
THE CROPS,--DUMFRIES, AUGUST 30.
Warm sunny blinks occurred at intervals during the
greater part of thelast week, accom;panied by stirring
breezes that speedily dried the blade ; but on the other
hand rain, more or less, fell every twenty-four hours.
In Nithsdale, Annandale, and Galloway, a large breadth
of grain, is tit for the sickle; and, but for the weary-
rain, which ever and anon baulks the hopes of the far-
mer, harvest would be general over the whole south of
Scotland. Numerous sales of growing crops are re-
ported, at some of which luxuriant oats, not severely
lodged, commanded 91., 10Z, and W. per acre. But
these, of course, were top prices, and we believe from
U. to Si. will be found much nearer the general ave-
rage. A field of wheat, about a mile from town, which
at one time looked beautiful, became latterly so flat-
tened and rusted, that it was knocked down by public
roup at 41. per acre—hardly more than the value of
straw of that description standing erect in good condi-
tion.—Edinburgh Courant.
An artist in New York, says the lthchanic,
painted an imitation of a bottle of spruce beer so natu-
rally, that the cork flew out before he could paint the
string to fasten it.
" Whose brush are you cleaning your teeth with,
Bill ?" " It's yours, I expect, but I shan't hurt it."
" Well, be sure you put it back where you got it, for I
"cleaned my toe-nails with it yesterday, and I want to
clean them agin."
