THE REPULSE AT THE PEIHO,

This occurrence, and the measures which will be
taken by England and France in consequence of it,
are thus referred to in yesterday's .Moniteur :
By the terms of the 42d article of the treaty
signed at Tien-Tsin on the 27th of June, 1858, the
ratifications of it were to be exchanged at Pekin,
and the Ministers of France and England had in
consequence left Shanghai to repair to the capital 1
of the Celestial empire, after announcing their de-
parture to the commissioners of the Chinese Go-
vernment. • Having arrived at the mouths of the
Peiho on the 20th June, where they had been pre-
ceded by Admiral Hope, commanding the naval
forces of her Britannic Majesty, they endeavoured
ineffectually to put themselves in relation with
the Chinese authorities. The entrance of the river
had been barred by stockades. Admiral Hope and
Captain Tricault, the commanding officer of the
Duchayla, were obliged to endeavour to force a
passage •, the forts of the Peiho immediately opened
fire with all their batteries, which had been recon-
structed and armed with guns of along range; the
allies, having an insufficient force at their disposal,
did not succeed in silencing it, notwithstanding the
herioc bravery displayed by the English and French
seamen and by their officers. After a combat of
more than four hours three English gunboats were
sunk, and 478 officers and seamen, 14 of whom were
French, were disabled. Admiral Hope and Capt.
Tricault were themselves slightly wounded. Un-
able to sustain an unequal contest with forces that
had only been combined to serve as an escort to the
envoys of France and England, the allies were com-
pelled to retire, and they returned to Shanghai on
the 9th of July.
The Government of the Emperor and that of her
Britannic Majesty are devising measures in com-
mon for inflictiog chastisement, and obtaining all
the reparatOds required for an act so flagrantly
.al.,'
