THE SUN.
LONDO2,T, TUESDAY, NOV. 27, isco

Seven miles from Pekin—Six miles from Pekin
—FIVE miles from Pekin : that is the last news
from the seat of war in China! It comes to us
simultaneously with detailed accounts of the ad-
vance of the allied forces from Tientsin to the
capital of the invaded Empire—together with full
Particulars as to the last two notable hand-to-hand
struggles between the Allies and the Chinese, the
one on the 18th, the other on the 21st of Sep-
Umber.

Examining the Royal Geographer's map of that
`whole stretch of country lying between the north-
east coasts of 'China on the Gulf of Pecheli,
and the hitherto impenetrable capital one
e‘ll now very readily, by the light afforded us
Illrengh these latest advices from the Allied head-
'quarters, follow the Anglo-French troops day by
day,•
• step by step, from the morning of their leaving
'Tientsin on the Bth of September to their arrival,
;as before intimated, within a distance of merely
'five miles from
the walls of Pekin on the 23d or
2 tth of September.
Advancing from. Tien-tsin on the Bth our cavalry
arrived about noon on the 9th at Pu-k'au, (not
down on Mr, WyLD,
B Map) upon the following
day, the 10th, reaching a place (also nameless on
31r. WY L D'S Mu-P) called yang-tsin. Here they
were kept in a slough of despond
during the 11th
by reason of the muddy coneitlau of the roads—
innocent here as elsewhere in China of
the simple
but truly admirable art of Macadam. On the 12th
the slush having been sufficiently dried and har-
dened by the sunshine to admit of the march
being
resumed—it ;vas forthwith resumed accordingly_
leading our men to vards evening into a place called
Nan-tsai-tsun. Continuing their advance m
htfove.
efore nio•all
went from this point on the 13th, b
" we' appear to have arrived at Ho-si wu, "the
we had seen on
largest town, excepting Yang-tsun,
the march" writes one of the Correspondents.
Here at Ho-si-wu our troops remained for three
or four days until the advance in fact upon 31a-tou
on the 17th of September. About four miles be-
yond this, and within a single mile from Ho-ko-
ehuang, on the 18th occurred the first of those two
resolute eegagancnts between the Allies and the
Tartar Cavalry, the second of which engagements
occurred nearly three days afterwards, namely, on
the 21st of 'September. Upon the former occasion,
i• e', en the 118th, 30,600 ill the Tartar Cavalry
were routed and driven in the uttermost confusion
beyond' a small walled town, entered late in the
evening by the victors, a little town called, as the
telegram int'metted, a day or two,back, Ciatuag-kia-
