CHINA.

Intelligence, believed to be authentic, has
reached London, to the effect that the Emperor of
China had recalled Governor Yeh from Canton.
It is added that the Emperor had expressed a de-
sire to be on friendly terms with the English, and
has despatched an officer to replace Yeh. [As yet
we have no direct means of confirming or contra-
dicting the above.]

The Moniteur de la Plate contains the following
proclamation from the Mandarin Governor of
Whampoa

" Infamous foreigners have presumed to raise
the standard ofrevolt against the sublime and vene-
rated authority of the Emperor. They have
attacked the city of Canton in order to burn it, and
already have they received the punishment they
have merited, for our invincible troops have re-
pulsed them, and killed a great number of them.
Let them be attacked from every part of the
empire. Let every inhabitant of China who shall
meet an Englishman inflict on him the fate
he merits. Already do our innumerable fleets and
our mighty armies, which are dreaded by the whole
world, advance to drive them away. Let every-
body unite with that army—let every one take
part in the war, and teach foreigners to tremble
before the will and before the anger of our Sove-
reign, whose gaze is burning as the rays of the sun,
and whose power is immeasurable.
" He who shall not act in conformity with these
orders shall be considered as a traitor, and may ex-
pect from us a chastisement as prompt as terrible.
" You hear ! Obey.
" The Mandarin Governor, TCHYN-TOO.
" Done at Whampoa, the 9th day of the 12th
Moon."

The Moniteur de la Flotte adds that on the pub-
lication of the preceding document, which is one of
the least violent published by the Chinese authori-
ties, the foreign ships anchored in the roads or on
the Tchou-Faang sailed away, twang with them Alin
few Europeans in the town. The utmost excitement
prevailed.

A letter, dated Touranne, in Cochin China, of the
7th of December, states that the, King Tsu-Duc is
persecuting with increasing severity his Christian
subjects. The 600,000 Christians of the empire,
the 14 French bishops, and the numerous mission-
aries are looking to France for protection. Even
the idolaters rejoice at the arrival of a French ship
in the roads of Touranne. Mgr. Pellerin had suc-
ceeded, after having incurred great danger in gain-
ing a refuge on board the French ship of war Cap-
ricieuse.

The Moniieur of Saturday publishes the follow-
ing letter. Extracts from the document appeared
in The Sun the same day :

HONG-KONG, JAN. 14.

The Chinese no longer restrict themselves to
mere self-defence at Canton and upon the river ;
they have issued proclamations and pamphlets ex-
citing the inhabitants to hatred and to the murder
of foreigners ; they prohibit them from serving the
barbarians, and we have had reason to apprehend
an insurrectional movement at Hong-Kong itself.
Sir John Bowring has come to an understanding
with Admiral Guerin, the commander-in-chief of
the French division, and they have decided in con
cert upon effectual measures for keeping down, in
case of need, the Chinesee population. Fifty men
of the French crews have taken up a position in
the east part of the town, and every arrangement
has been settled for landing, at the first signal, all
the landing companies and four field howitzers.
It would appear that this attitude taken by the
French is to be ascribed to the instructions received
by the last mail ; France and England had con-
certed, we are assured, before they knew even of
the recent events at Canton, to obtain from the
Chinese Government the revision of their treaties
which expire forthwith, and their representatives
are said to have received dispatches, which whilst
prescribing to them the identical conduct they will
have to observe for the attainment of this object by
common accord, authorise them to afford each
other mutual support in all eventualities. Be that
a 3 it may, it is time to have a reinforcement sent to
us, and should fresh forces fail to come to China,
all Enropeaus indiscriminately would be exposed
to most serious dangers.
In fact, you will learn, that the incidents of the
contest of which Canton is the principal theatre,
are succeeding each other rapidly and acquiring
every day more serious importance. You will know
when you receive this letter that the factories have
been destroyed ; they were set on fire by the Chi-
nese in 20 places at one and the same time, and the
English, unable to multiply themselves made
efforts, but in vain to subdue the flames,

Where the factories once stood we now see nothing
but a heap of ruins. Encouraged by the momentary,
deficiency of force at the disposal of Admiral Sey-
mour, the Chinese are showing themselves resolved
to go on by means of murder and arson ; imperial
soldiers in disguise took their passage on board the
Thistle steamer, carrying the mail ; while this
vessel was descending the river these soldiers fell
upon the Europeans, whom they assassinated, and
they then, having,set her on fire, ran her ashore.
In the course of the 3d inst. a large number of
junks attempted to take the Coromandel war
steamer, carrying Admiral Seymour's flag. The
Chinese had chosen the moment when the tide was
at the lowest, and when the different steamers
could not come to each other's assistance. The
Coromandel made a vigorous resistance, and the
assailants were obliged to sheer off, after losing
many of their number. The English had one
officer and four men killed, and eight men
wounded.

A Vienna letter in the Boersenhalle of Hamburg
gives some information relative to Prince Danilo's
visit to Paris. It says :
" It was the Russian legation at Vienna which
recommended Prince Danilo, through his envoy, M.
Bukovic, to proceed to Paris rather than to the
Austrian capital. M. Bukovic during his late mis-
sion received from the Austrian Cabinet intimations
not very favourable to the Prince's Government.
The Cabinet of Vienna is fatigued with the con-
tinual disputes which are taking place on the fron-
tier, and earnestly wishes Montenegro to under-
stand ber position as an undoubted vassal of the
Porte. It is therefore possible that the Cabinet of
Vienna would declare against Montenegro, if. the
latter should make open war against the Porte."

FRANCE.
P I.IITS, SIIN'DAY EVENING.

The sensation produced in every political circle in
this city by the defeat of Lord Palmerston has not
yet subsided. All manifested their surprise, and for
a time their incredulity, and some their joy. The
most painful part of the affair was the satisfaction
of those who dislike England for her liberal insti-
tutions or her power, still more even than they hate
Lord Palmerston. _ _

The treaty of peace signed at Paris has left for the
capital of Persia. His Excellency Ferule Khan. will
rema,n here until its ratification by the Shah ; he
will then proceed to London in order to exchange the
same at the Court of St. James's.
There are symptoms of a strong opposition in. the
Senate on the Malakhoff pension. The objections
are not to the grant of money, which amounts to
100,000 f., but to its transmission to the male des-
cendants. This transmission is looked upon by the
Senate as the establishment of a majorat, and con-
sequently as an infraction of the Constitution,
which recognises the equality of citizens before the
law.
