union between France and Belgium," it.says, ,

Now, Ave maintain that the sole political.,!,!;

Inflexible, the Grenadier corvette, the brig La Fleche,
and the Santi Petri, from Ourlac. The British
corvettes, Beacon and. Magicienne, and the Medea
frigate had also arrived.
A letter from Alexandria, Sept. 10th, says:—
" The Vanguard and Cambridge arrived. at Bey-

" MALTA, SEPT. 30. .: -) '"fl
" The Oriental arrived this morning, bringing, 'I,, ' I
the following intelligence, extracted from the
.0.
Overland Mail :
. .
" Brigadier Monteith had gained several sue- '
~ 1
cesses at Pesh Bolak, and in the Valley of Shur-
~ s

warree.
" Satisfactory intelligence bad been received .•
from Lady Sale and the other prisoners.
" Colonel Palmer (the late Commandant at
Ghuznee) was dead.
" General Pollock remained in the same po'

sition.
" It was reported that General Nott had re'
ceived orders to march forward on the 29th of
July, and it was expected that he would be before
Caubul on the 6th of September. . •
" Sutler Jung had surrendered himself to the
British forces at Candahar, and Colonel Wyeler
had destroyed several forts at the distance of 80
miles north of that place.
" Sickness continued to prevail in the different
divisions of the army.
" From China, the last accounts are from Ati"
cao, and are dated June the 7th.
" Our forces had taken possession of Chape°,'
and in so doing had suffered more loss than ill
any previous engagement in China. Very jul"
portant news from that country is expected by
the next mail."

Chapoo is a fine harbour, about fifty miles (I.
north of Ningpo, lying on the other side of the
bay of Hangtchou, and is considered the great
emporium for vessels engaged in the Japan trade.
It has been occupied, no doubt, with a viet
to further operations, embracing Nankeett asd :
other large cities in that populous and #11::
district. It is only forty-five miles from fral4;
tchou, where the Grand Canal terminates, an':
owing to its position and trade, is considered
place of much importance. ,;1

The most remarkable fact mentioned

the Government had, however, in the inter:l,li
been actively directed to supply the troops
every requisite. The force at Candahar, titl";.,
General Nott, was so well furnished with c 3 y
riage cattle as to be able in July to move in °be
