THE WAR IN CHINA.

(Font the London dozette of tot night.)
Admiralty, Jan. 29.
Despatches, of which the following are copies,
have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael
Seymour, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her
Majesty's ships and vessels on the East India and
China station :

No. 116. Niger, at Canton, Dec. 11, 1856.
Sir,—l have the honour to report proceedings at Canton
since my letter, No. 106, of the 24th ult., for the informs.
Abut of-the Lords ComestOonersAthe Aditiralty.

`"*± -tert a itth the linfteZ-Titute7-Uffittellafforier
'in-
formed' American citizens that the Imperial High Commis.
sioner having failed to render satisfaction for the recent
insult to their flag Commodore Armstrong would not desist
from aggressive measures till ample apology should be
made, and a guarantee given that the American flag should

be respected for the future.
The commodore determined on the demolition of the
Barrier Forts, the capture of which I have already reported,
and commenced blowing them up.
In the afternoon of the same day 37 war junks issued
from a creek, and anchored in line about four miles from
the Encounter in shoal water. Capt. O'Callaghan endea-

voured to get within range of them the following day, but
Without effect. The Chinese fired several shots, which fell

short. These junks have since retired.
3. Reports having reached me that the Chinese were
busily employed in re-arming the Blenheim Fort I sent the
Barracouta down the Macao Passage on the 26th, with
Capt. Twiss and a party of Royal Artillery, to check any
such proceedings, and to destroy the fort. About 150 sol.
diers were found there, and 15 guns had been mounted.
The troops were driven out and the guns rendered useless;
a few mines under the works completely destroyed them.
Commander Fortescue, before leaving, informed the head
man of the adjoining village, who had superintended the
progress of the works under promise of reward from the
Mandarins, that any further attempt to restore the felt
would result in the burning of the place.
4. On the 29th two 10. inch mortars were mounted on
the Dutch Folly, and their range was tried on the French
Folly Fort.
5. On the 3d inst. a most melancholy occurrence took
place. Captain Cowper, R.E., who had been detached fo
ervice at Canton, was superintending the pulling down of
some Chinese houses outside the factory, when one of them
suddenly fell on him, from which he sustained such exten-
sive injuries as to cause his death in less than three hours.
Captain Cowper had been of the greatest assistance in
strengthening our position, and I cannot too highly express
my admiration of the zeal and professional ability he dis-
played. Her Majesty's service has sustained a severe loss in
I his untimely eud. I sent the Coromandel to Hongkong wi th

the remain; of the deceased gallant officer.
6. The Chinese authorities having re-armed and strength
ened the French Folly Fort, situated near the south-easl
city gate, having in its rear extensive barracks occupied by
troops, and erected flanking sandbag batteries on either
side of it, notwithstanding we had endeavoured to cheek
them by the fire of the guns and mortars in the Dutch Folly
I determined on its destruction, as threatening a hostile
concentration of force, and being an obstacle to the free na-
vigation of the river by the passage through the Barrier
Forts. The Encounter and Barracouta accordingly shifted
their positions to below the Dutch Folly on the evening of
the 3d, and on the following morning I embarked in the
Encounter, and dropped down to the fort, accompanied by
the boats of the squadron, having on board about 350 small
arm men and Royal Marines under the command of Capts.
Wilson and the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., of the Win-
chester and Niger, and Capts. Penrose and Boyle of the
Royal Marines. The ships were anchored about 850 yards
from the fort, being as near as the depth of water per-
mitted, and at 7 a.m. a heavyand effective fire was opened
from them, and from the Dutch Folly ; the boats soon
after pushed on shore, and our flag was planted on the
walls of the fort amidst the hearty cheers of the assailing
parties. The Chinese troops twice attempted to rally, but
were quickly driven back, and the affair was over within
one hour from the first gun being fired, The fort mounted
about 20 heavy guns, with others of varione calibre in the
sandbag batteries. Those in the fort were mounted some-
what similarly to ships' guns, with breechings secured to
spars across the outside of the embrasures. This gives
some colour to the report that many of the garrison had
served in European ships.
The usual official placards were, found on the walls of the
French Folly, offering rewards for the murder of all Eng-
lishmen, and of Chinese in their employ.
As soon as resistance had ceased, a party of Royal
Artillery, under command of Capt. G. Rolton, commenced
the destruction of the fort.
Mines were sunk and sprung under 'the works which
laid the whole of the massive granite in a heap of ruins,
barely one stout being left in its original position. The
guns were destroyed, and their new carriages burnt.
Throughout the day feeble attempts were made by the
Chinese troops to disturb our operations, rendering it ne-
cessary for our covering parties and boats' guns to keep
them from advancing. These buildings ultimately caught
fire, and were burnt to the ground.
During our operations the Dutch Folly Fort, in charge
of Commodore Hon. C. Elliot, threw shells from the moo.
tars into the city, where troops had been previously ob-
served, which fortunately exploded two magazines.
The gallantry and promptitude displayed by the officers
and men, and the rapid success which crowned their exer-
tions, deserve my warmest commendation. I am happy
to be able to state that our loss only amounted to one pri-
Tate, Royal Marines, of her Majesty's ship Winchester,
killed, and one seaman slightly wounded.
The ships were hulled several times—the Encounter by

been effectually dismantled under the direction of Captain
the Hon. Keith Stewart, of the Nankin.
11. A seaman belonging to one of the river steamers was
seized by-some of thamfficials on the 12th instant, who at-
tempted to kill him. He managed, however, to effect his
escape, though severely wounded. I immediately despatched
Captain Hall to pull down the Government buildings and

hood of Hongkong having been made to me, I despatched
the Sampson to check them. In her first cruise she cap-
tured one junk and destroyed five. In the second she saw
no suspicious vessels, and is now at Hongkong.
, 13. I have had no communication with the Imperial
Commissioner, his• Excellency having withdrawn the
Moor's from the neighboßring districts for the protection
of Canton. The country is represented to be ins most dis-
organised state, bands of robbers committing depredations
and murders in every direction. I learn that there are
from 17,000 to 20,900 Yoops and militia in the city, but
they have not at yet made any offensive demonstration,
,and even were they to attack the factories I should have
no fear of the result.
:14. The stoppage•of the traffic at Canton must cause a
severe pressure. The. river, which used to be thronged'
with junks and boats, is now comparatively clear, and I
feel a confident hope that the measures which have been
taken will prove suceetsful.
t 5 hen the proper time arrives the fulfilment of stipula-
tions, granted by treaty, should be rigidly insisted on.
Compulsion is the only argument to convince the
Chinese. Moderation is considered but another name for
the want of means to enforce compliance.
15. A few shells were thrown into the city yesterday
from the Dutch Folly in the direction of the Government
buildings.
It is gratifying to report that the force continues
healthy and in excellent spirits.

LEGATION OF THE lINITID STATER•
Macao, Dec. 9, 1836.

Sir,—A despatch from Commodore James Armstrong,
of this day's date, it.forras me that on the 6th inst. th•
demolition of the Barrier Forts was completed, and the
ships had returned to the anchorage at Whampoa, and in a
few days the damage to the vessels would be repaired.
Enclosing me copies of his correspondence with the Im-
perial Commissioner, he observes —" Here I presume it will
end, and so long as he, the Imperial Commissioner, does
not commit any act of violence against our flag or citizens
we shall rest upon our arms." His Excellency Yeh, in a
despatch of the 7th inst., writes Commodore Armstrong
" From this I see your Excellency has a clear knowledge of
affairs—there is no matter of strife between our respective
nations. Henceforth let the fashion of the flag which A mai-
ships employ be clearly defined, and inform me what it is
beforehand. This will be the verification of the friendly
relations which exist between the two countries."
I have this day resumed correspondence with the
Imperial Commissioner, demanding attention to various
important subject% which I have chosen to place in abey-
ance pending the adjustment of tie naval question ; among
them other instances in which the flag, of the United States
has been fired on by the Chinese, and the rights of the
United States' citizens, under treaty, have been brought
to his Excellency's notice, who has been informed that,
failing to render the satisfaction demanded for the viola-
tion of the treaty by the forts of Kiang-Shan, that matter
will also be handed over to the Commander-in-Chief of the
United Sates' naval forces in China to manage.
This brief expose of the present state of our relations to
the Chinese Government at your port you are authorised
to communicate for the information of the United States'
citizens within your consular jurisdiction.
Respectfully, Ike.,
PETER PARKER.

PROCLAMATION IT THE BRITISH ADMIRAL.
The operations in which the British forces aro at pre-
sent engaged having been occasioned by the unfriendly
of the Chinese Government, and therefore intended not to
affect the people, all the villages around have hithertobeen
preserved entirely free from molestation or attack of any
kind on the part of our soldiery. Yesterday, however, two
of our men landing at the village of Nan-pien were there
killedity some Chinese, who sought to gain by this inhu-
man act the paltry reward offered for the murder of our
countrymen by all local authoritveiesburned Nan-pi. As a warnineng,
to the
there-
' fore, to the other villages, Iha
to involve the innocent with
ground, but being unwilling
the guilty, I have spared the lives of its inhabitants. And
I hereby make known that I will in every case hold that
village or place responsible in which the life of an English-
man shall be thus sacrificed, and will visit it with the same
punishment that I have inflicted in this instance.

Sampson, at anchor off Wan-Chow-Chow, Dec. G, 1556.
Sir—According to my intentions, intimated to you in
nty letter of the 4th inst., I proceeded to sea yesterday
morning, with 4 Chinese who had had their vessels taken
away from them, and directed my search towards Lintin.
Observing a suspicious-looking row-junk off Saw-chow at
anchor, I sent and had her brought off, when, finding she
had no number, papers, or flag, with a larger crew than a
trading vessel would have, and nothing on board but am
munition for several small guns with which she was armed,
I. had no doubt but she no there waiting an opportunity
Lo -pounce upon some market boat (the island being per-
;ly barren), and the only answer they could give me was
tam t they were rebelmen, and looking after mandarins. I
yp ordingly took her into Hong Kong and gave her over to

(No. 119.) Niger, at Canton, Dec. 15, 1856.
Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the infor-
mation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty., that
last night, at about 11 o'clock, a few hours after the de-
parture of my despatches for Europe, the Chinese set fir•
in several places simultaneously to the houses immediately
surrounding the factory, -which soon spread to the factory
itself ; and all the foreign establishments, with the excep-
tion of the English factory, have been burnt to the ground .
The fire appears to have been checked by the blowing
down of the end house of the adjoining block at the en-
trance of Hog-lane.
"Incendiaries were perceived by the officers placing
brands in the various houses in the vicinity of the fire, and
were fired at by our pickets. The whole of the Old. and
New China-streets, with the contiguous portions of the
:-,eonripexlikve beau eoneumed,_ ,„ . _
The greatest exertions have been used by the officers and
men of the force under my command to check the progress
of the flames ; but the dryness of the houses and the absence
of an adequate supply of water, with the peculiar mode in
which the various Hongs are constructed over vaulted pas-
sage?, rendered their efforts unavailing.
The conflavation will circumscribe our defences and
render necessary a new arrangement of them ; but it is my
intention to -hold the British factory, as I have hitherto
done the larger area on which the houses have been de-
stroyed.
I write this hurried despatch to go by a private steam -
vessel, which is likely to overtake the packet at Singapore.
I have, &c.,
M. SEYMOUR, Rear-Admiral and
Commander-in-Chief.
The Secretary of the Admiralty.

WRECK OF THE TYNE.-REPORT OF THE

MAGISTRATES.

SOUTIIAMPTON, FRIDAY.

The following is a copy of the report of the justices
of the peace deputed to conduct the ir.quiry relative to
the stranding of the steam-ship Tyne :
Guildhall, Southampton, Jan. 29, 1857.

"My Lords—We have the honour to inform your
lordships that we have with the assistance of Captain
Waiker, as nautical assessor, made an investigation this
day respecting the loss, of the steamship Tyne, which
was stranded on Kimmeredge Lodge, on the 13th inst.,
at 3.40 a.m., and we send your lordships the following
report and our opinion, together with the depos tions
and the certificate of the captain :

" The Tyne was au iron ship, of 2,100 tons, belonging
to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, commanded
by Captain Wm. Yaller. She left Pernambuco on the
23d of Dec. for Southarapton, with a light cargo and 53
passengers, and experienced strong head winds nearly
all through the voyage. At 5 a.m. on the 12th inst. she
made Ushant, which on the first observation at 5.15
a.m. bore E. by N. N., when the bearings were altered
by keeping her off N.E., on account of the set-in, and at
7 a.m. E. by N. N., being the direct course for Peril ind.
On leaving Thibaut soundings were regularly made acros
the Channel. At 11.20 p.m. the Portland Lights were
first made. At 11.30 the course was altered to E., to
shape it to the Needles, the ship going at half-speed, and
at midnight the lead was hove for the last time. At
2.25 a.m. on the 13th inst. the. Portland Lights were
dipped, • bearing N.W. by N. N., with thick foggy
weather, and ebb and wind on her starboard bow, the
ship keeping E. till ebe stranded.
" After a most careful and anxious investigation, we

cannot arrive at any other opinion- than that the ship was
lost by the wrongful act and default of Captain Taller, is
consequence of the lead not being constantly hove on
approaching the land, and in accordance with the corn-
pany'S instructions, and the captaiti not making due allow-
ance for the wind and strong ebb tide that was running
from the time he passed Portland, and the total absence of,'
those- precautions necessary to insure the safety of a
large ship within so a a distance of the land.
- 44,We inchise the, NOE onials- of acrm patens,' banded
tons by Captain Yeller, and we call the attention of
your lordships to the evidence of Capt. Vincent and the
officers of the Tyne to the very high character and great
reputation ifor skill and ability hitherto borne by Capt.
Taller.

" We have the honour to be, my lords, your lord-
ihips' obedient servants,
" P. BRETON,
" JOIREPH LOEB,
"Justices of the Peace fur the town and county
of the tow❑ of Southampton."
"I entirely concur in the foregoing report.
