Letters have been received from Canton by an
American ship, arrived at Gibraltar, which state
that the Embassy to China, under Lord AMHERST,
disembarked, all well, at Tien-sing, in the Gulph
of Pe•tclie-lec, on the 2Gth of July, after a re-
markable quick passage up the Yellow Sea. in

September they were still in Pain, but no ac
counts had been received of the progress made h
the negociations entrulted to the Ambassador
but letters, brought by the General• Ifewit iron
Tien-sing to Canton, antic:mite a favourable re.
stilt to the Embassy.

In the !louse of Commons last night, after

tome Debate, in which, however, none of the
leading men of either side p►+rticipated, the
H►beas Corpus Suspension Act was read a third
ime and passed—the numbers were, 265 for, and

103 against the Bill. Another division took
place on a Motion of Mr. PoNsoNßY's, to limit
the period of the Bill being in- force s the 20th
of May Instead of the Ist of July ; but this was
negatived by 239 to 97.
Thus has this important measure been carried

through two branches of the Legislature. This
day by the sanction of the third branch, it will be-
come the law of the land

A Petition of the Common Hall of London, as
still be seen by our Parliamentary report of the
proceedings on its presentation, was yesterday
agreed to, against the Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act. As there was nothing either of no-
velty or wright in the Speechifications on this
Occasion, we may well be spared the disgust.
