The Emperor of China was £0 much pleased with the
gallant conduct of Admiral Kwan.(see despatch of the 31st
of January) in his engagement with the Volage and
Hyacinth that he raised him to the third heaven.
A letter from Ban-lean, dated February the Bth, states
that Dust Mahomed had met with a very inhospitable re-
ception at the Court of Bokhara. His sons had attempted
to escape, but had been recaptured and brought back, and
all his followers sent off to Kooloum, in a wretched plight,
destitute even of the common means of support. Juhbur
Khan intended, it was said, to make overtures to the Bri-
tish on behalf of his brother. The winter was extremely
cold on the confines of Affghanistan, and proved particu-
larly fatal to the Hindoostaness. All idea of a Tull:loan
cantraiL6t had been given up.
The Agra tliebar of the NI of March mentions, on the
other hand, that our European troops in Cabul were suf-
fering severely from sickness. A large convoy, then en route
to Jellalabad and Cabul, would, it was hoped, go far to re-
store them, as it curled a plentiful supply of provisions
not procurable in the country.
Letters from Bushire to the 20ili of Februavy mention
that the ex-Goveri;or, Sheik Hussein, had commenced
blockading the port of Bushire, in retaliation for hia late
suppression by the Court of Shiraz. It appears that he is
possessed of only one middle-sized bungalow, with about
50 men, yet the Persian Government have not essel to
send against him. He is accordingly inflicting consider-
able injury on the trade of the pert. The Sir Robert
Compton had arrived at Bushire, also the Hon. Company's
ship Corms, which was'aeting as guard-ship for the
teetion of British property.

LATEST CHINA NEWS.
The i'inyapure Free Press of the 20ih of February,
received here yesterday (in 17 days from Singapore),
brings intelligence from Canton to the 20:11 of January. An
Imperial edict stas issued on the sth, declaring the Eng.
lish to be outlawed, ordering the trade with our nation to
be immediately and entirely stopped, and threatening the
severest punishment to any other people who conveyed or
disposed of English goods. This edict was issued in con-
sequence of her Majesty's ships Hyacinth and Voisge
having commenced, as it is said, the horrors of war.
Another Imperial edict applauded the valour displayed
by Admiral Ewan and the officers and ships of war in the
action with the Wage and the Hyacinth off Chumpee on
the 3d of November last. The Emperor is h'ghly pleased
with the conduct of the veteran'KwAn, who, according to
his Majesty's edict, valiantly faced the enemy's fire, lean-
ing gracefully but boldly against the mast of his junk
during the engagement. His Majesty promises the Ad-
miral that if in .six engagements (including the one at
Cbumpec) against the English he is equally successful,
be is to be raised six steps in rack, and Equal promotion
is held out to other officers who shall, on six different occa-
sions, when fighting against the English be victorious.
MI. Gribble was released .from•confinernent at Canton,
on the 14th, and is expected to arrive outside in the no-
rms Coutts. Her Majesty's ships Yolage and Hyacinth
are blockading the 'Bogue until, it is presumed, Mr. Grib-
We's arrival there.

Captains Smith and Elliot, when walking on sho:e
one day near Chumpcc, wore nearly taken by a number
of Chinese soldiers, had not their swift retreat and the
guns from the Queen's cutter, bearing upon their pur•
suers, saved them.

- :
It is very singular, but it is stated to be a fact, that
the Commissioners sent to the frigates at the Bogue a
present of beef and cabbages, which was not, however,
aceepted.
A remarkable edict had been issued from the Commis-
sioner and Hoppo, who, being disappointed at not being
likely to get any duties from three American ships which
had entered the port empty, caused the Hoppo to visit the
ships in person, and finding that, though without cargo,
the ships had not brought funds sufficient in dollars where-
withal to purchase a home cargo, these dollars are to be
weighed by the Hoppo, and then to be deposited in the
Consoo.house, the Hong merchants to act as treasurers to
the Americans, that these vessels may take away no more
cargo than they brought money to pay for.
Two ships, the- Danske Konige and the Norden, that
appear to have been sold by the English, and under Danish
colours,. were seized ai Whampoa and confiscated, en the
charge of their being still in reality English property.—
