THE BRlnsii AND CHINESE.
ORIGIN AND TIRMIIIATIoN ON •THR DIsPUTES RETWZNN
.TI16: BRITISH FACiONLAT CAiITON AND TUB CIILN FAN.

By late arrivals from the East Indies, several do-
ctinvnts have been received, elucidatory of the causes
and nature of the late discussions between the Vice-
roy of Canton and the Committee of Supracargoes,
which at one time threatened, not only to end in the
suspension of all amicable intercourse, but in a de-
claration of open war. The point upon which the
local Government at first chiefly rested its complaints,
was an alleged violation of the neutral rights of the
Chinese, by his Majesty's ship Doris. Early in May,
a boat belonging to that vessel proceeded to Wham-
poa. and boarded an American schooner lyino in the
river. This act was immediately denounced by the.
Viceroy as an unwarrantable injury, and repanition
for it demanded from the Committee. The Com-
mittee, in various discussions with the Hong mer-
chants, and the Chief Magistrates of Macao, urged,
that they could not be in any way answerable for the
conduct of his Majesty's' ships, over the officers of
which they possessed no sort of controul. This can-
did statement appears to have at first prodirced its
due effect, and to have opened, a prospect of a speedy
adjustment of the difference. l'he appearance of
modera:ion was however of short duration. The
Chinese Government advanced in its demands, and
addressed the Committee in a memorial, explanatory
of various supposed grievances, and insisting on the
immediate departure of the Doris. Its displeasure
with the Commander of that ship was greatly in-
creased by a subsequent transaction, which, although
adjudged by it an infraction of neutral rights, ap-
pears to be perfectly justifiable. The Arabella, of
Calcutta, having been captured by the American
privateer Rambler, was proceeding with her to
Whampoa, when she discerned the Doris, and took
re:uge in the harbour of Ma.iao. The Governor of
that settlement, agreeably to existing treaties, ordered
the Arabella to quit the Portuguese limits, and sent
a guard for her protection until beyond them. She
was immediately afterwards boarded by the Doris,
when three British subjects were foundon board of her.
The Chinese Government construed this search of
a prize vessel into the capture of an American in
Macao 'Road', and :okay prohibited its subjects
From supplying his Majesty's ships with provision&
It was fully explained to the officer deputed to inves-
tigate this affair, that the Arabella was an English
vessel, captured during her voyage from Bengal to
Sumatra, and that part of the crew were then on
board the Rambler, by whom she had been taken.—
To the demand of the Viceroy for the removal of the
ships of war, the Committee urged, that the measure
could dot be resorted to, without endangering the fate
of many valuable Intliamen and private traders
howl/ arriving in the river; which, if deprived of
protection, would immediately fall a sacrifice to nu
inerous American privateers on. the station. They
urther insisted, that it was manifestly unjust to admit
American privateers, some of them tilled with prize
goads, withotit question or demur, whilst English
vessels of war were excluded from all the privileges
01 tie port. Meanwhile the Doris, whilst convoying
two English vessels up the BOCCI, and protecting
them from the attacks of four American privateera
lying thtre was tired at by the Chinese ships of war.
Captain o"lirkn having answered their fire from one
gun without shut, and boarded the Chinese ship, de-
manded an explanation of this unprovoked insult. At
first no satisfactory answer was given; but the com-,
mender at length seemed sensible, that the American
vessels of war ought not to ride in a situation which
enabled them to Intercept and take English traders,
while entering the river. Nevertheless this circum-
stance was instantly reported to the provincial go-
vernment, in terms calculated to impose the belief of
a serious disturbance having been created by the
Doris. Several representations on the subject were
transmitted to Canton, bet invariably returned un-
opened. About the middle of September the Viceroy
issued an order, prohibiting all subjects of China from
entering the service of the British resident in the fac-
tory, and enjoining punishment- on all persons vio-
lating this order.. in reply to this vexatious and un-
manly regulation, the Committee stated, that for
more than a hundred years the servants employed in
the factory were chiefly Chinese, and that the factory
houses were incapable of containing the number of
Europeans requisite for. the due performance of the
various duties of the factory.-
These and some other representations were made
in the Chinese language, and imoudiatefy after pre.
sentatiol, returned unop. ned by the Viceroy, with a
declaration, that he would receive addresses from the
English only in flick native language. To the adop-
tion of this practice a must serious objection presenti.
itcaf ; for it is tvident, that de sole reason for the
Viceroy desiring all papers addressed to him to be
couched in English, is, that he may be enabled,
through the medium of false translations, to forward
to Pekin partial and garbled accounts of their con-
tents. To add to these insults and glaring mulct of
contemptuous disrespect, the pollee magistrate, act-
ing by the Viceroy's orders, violated the privileges
of the factory, by suddenly, and without previous
notice, entering its precincts. • Inimediatcly after
this, all intercourse between 11:e Company's ships at
Whampoa and those pt his Majesty at Chutpee was
rigorously prohibited ; boats proceeding up or down
the river were stopped, and several English ships
provided with regular port clearances were fired at
by Chinese men of war. But the resentment of the
Committee appears to have been roused to the greatest
pitch, by the seizure of a pervai bearing a 1,,,x with
the Prince Regent's portrait, sent out by the Court
of Directors to hi,' Excellency the late Viceroy .
Canton, who, while in office,. had distinguished him-
self by kindness ;o -the English. It was by them
susoected, that the Viceroy had ordered this person
to be apprehiuded, in the hope ortorc'lng from him
the avowal of sums pretended conspiracy on their
part against the safety of the Chinese empire.
This conjecture does snot seem ill-founded, when
it is remembered, that at this time the Viceroy Fon-
templated au open rupture, and *4l willittg to sbetv ,

that to was jostifiable in adopttng•these rneastwes of
hostility against the
,English. After mature delibe-
ration on these and numerous other instances of op.
pressioh, all of which betrayed a striking hostility to
theiEnglish, and strong partiality for their enemies,
the Americans; and after making various ineffectaal
trials to be heard by the Viceroy, the Committee del
termined on appealing to his I invite' Majesty ; and
accordingly, in the beginn;ng of October, is. uedforders
for *I II British subjects to quit Canton within four
days. These orders were, however, suspended, that
a final attempt at adjustment might be made by the
mission of Sir G. Staunton. Having failed in this,
the Committee acted on their orders. In the be-
ginning of November Sir G. Staunton, who, during
the whole of the negotiations, had acted as the re-
presentative of the Company, left Cation, accom-
panied by all the British subjects, the English colours
and ships. And the treasure. Previously to depart.'
ing, he left with. the local government a sealed letter
to be forwarded to the Imperial Court at Pekin.
This bold arid decisive step, together with the re-
ceipt of the letter, which it was unsafe either to trans-
mit or ti intercept, intimidated the Viceroy, who,
dreading a defalcation of the reecatie, and the conse-
quent displeasure of his Royal Master, immediately
deputed the Hong merchants to follow Sir George
Staunton, and reopen the conference. They reached
him after he had crossed the second bat, and after
producing the Viceroy's instructions, prevailed on
him to return. This happened about the middle of
November, at which period our written documents
cease. We have, however, learnt, from the verbal
communications of individuals who left China subse.
quently to the recommencement of the negirciations,
that the committee had much reason to congratulate
themselves on the bold and determined attitude as.
sumed by them. • Several important concessions had
been made by the adverse party ; the m •st momen-
tous of which seems to be an acknowledgement of
the right of the Company's servants to write their
thefts. or official letters, in the Chinese Liagoiage.--
On the other hand, it is understood that the elm-
mittee withdrew their interference in the affair of the
Chinaman who had been seized by the local govern-
ment. This person, it is believed, wis afterwards
put to death. A strong disposition for peace w
manifested on both side}, and as tie points remaining
MN adjustment were nut difficult, his Majesty's s!iies
had retuned to Champs*. the Company's vess:ls had
proceeded towards Whampoa, and the aucient rels.
tiuna of amity had been resumed.

GARmiN PAPJRS.

PARIS, THE END OF AUGUST.
Since Fouche's first Report to the King a second
of a similar nature is circulated. In the one he paints
the disposition of France is respect of the Boutbons.
Ten departments desire the Dynasty without any Con-
stitution. These are the southern departments and
La Vendee. Teh others desire the Bomb :ins, but
limited by a Constitution. All the others teject the
family, and would prefer a German Prince. It is
clear from this, as from so m.uiy other things, that
in this country every thing is shaken to its inunda-
tion. Party spirit keeps people down to the vet y
lowest elements of society, divided and discordant.
and it is not to be imagined th.it these disunited ele-
ments will soon be combined to a common end. The
more unanswerably it would be in us not to take ad.
vantage of these bickeriogs to recover our ancient
rights. The letter from Louis XVIII. to M. Tal.
leyrand, of July 22, is doubtless not genuine; It is not
probable that the Royal pen would allow itself such
a turn as that at the end. It is however a remarkable
piece, as it tends to the same object as Fouche's report,
and is designedly circulated in order to inflame
people's minds, to fill them on one side with hatred and
enmity, and on the other with fear and apprehension.
For this purpose the exaggerated representations of
oppression and misery are drawn up, whereas they
hardly allowed the ,Germans to breathe a word at
complaint after years of suffering, they begin the
first weeks to set up a louder cis than the Germans
did when victory delivered tnem hoot_ all distress ;
and ai usual are not sparing of millions of words, if
they can gain by this means millonis at ready money.
To feed 6 or 700,000 meo whom it has starved f..r
20 years, is no ents,ive 'bunko for France, uhklt
thought itself strong enough to suloitie and to rule the
world. The anxiety and the torment they endured
from the uncertainty in which they are must not.be
too highly blamed by. the French in those whom they
never spared a single p.tiolulleeling.
In the South of France the Royalists commit the
most horrid excesses. For some time past the Eng-
lish in particular patrole in great numbers the streets
of Paris, having been made to apprehend that there
are *OOO French soldiers in Paris ready fur a sur-
prise. There goes a report that the Duke of Wel-
lington is called away to go to India. The affairs
of England are in a bad condition there. A union
has been formed among the hithometan Princes,
who formerly fought and were beaten singly like the
Germans; like the Germans they have become united
by necessity, and have .succeeded in defeating Lord
Moira in some decisive battles, and have got hien into
a difficult situation.

• It is probable that the Congress will assemble in
Frankitirt about the end of September. Vety diffi-
'cult questions are, If ? How ? and when the aego-
ciations between the Allies, and at length the agree-
ment with . France, which depends upon these, will
be completed ? The greatest obstacles are raised by
what is called magnanimity. litvaria and Wirtem-
burg have now united themselves more closely with
Prussia, and Wrede behaves (as in gent: al singe the
renewal of the war) as night be ti 'sired. In the
South of France 'lke tempest is tEillg in x ali"fe
threatening. form. The proclaimed aztacks on the
camp of Ners are very suspiciont, and ti.,,Nattonal
Guards of Marseilles marched towards 'l'..mion, to.
oppore by force the entrance of the Ausuians into
that city.—Ahenira *raw.", Sept. 15.

LAUSANNE, SkPIIVIBER 12.
The news received from Wurtemberg, that the
King had acceded to all the deniands 1)i the Starer
relatively to the anCieliC constitiition, are, it seems,
for the present,. to be understood with the limitation
that the King has declared, that when the States Are
again called- together, it shall be according ao the
basis d the incient .constitution. There .ire, how-
ever, the best hopes, that the dia.-Tenor' in that coun-
try Will be appeased by granting demands that are
founded on absolute necessig. For the rest, a put)-
