whatever on the Emperor. It is only by entering directly on
negotiations at Pekin that any good can be expected to re-
sult ; and this, even supposing everything were to go on as
prosperously as could be desired, must be the work of time;
meanwhile the protracted interruption of trade must be pro-
ductive of the most injurious effects both to India and Eng-
land. Already is the market of Canton swept of its teas,
which were being bought up at most exorbitant prices, and
the defalcation in the English revenue from the short supply
of the present, and the entire stoppage of the next year, will
be severely felt in England.

Accounts from Canton to the 12th orMay state that an
edict had been issued, offering a high rate of pay to every one
willing to join the celestial army. The women of the coast
had been sent into the interior, and the paucity of our num-
bers was a standing joke in Siam as well as in China.
Government have chartered a number of additional ves-
sels to convey troops from Madras eastward.
The intelligence from the north-west provinces, if not
more satisfactory than before, is considerably less loud and
alarming. Colonel Wallace is administering very salutary
chastisement to the ferocious Belloochies, in capturing their
towns and blowing up their strongholds. The chief post of
the rebel leader Marroo has in this way been levelled with
the dust, while his nephew remains a prisoner in our hands.
Still the utmost vigour and caution are requisite, where not
a store can be brought in, nor a company of men moved
from one point to another, but they are watched, assailed,
and harassed, by a force ten times as numerous as their own.

At Herat all was quiet down to the 3d of June, and an
excellent harvest of the crop just then ripening was speedily
expected to be gathered in. Intelligence of the Russian de-
feat had reached them, but they were still doubtful of its
authenticity.

Dost Afahommed had at length been liberated, and his
daughter received into the Harem of the Ameer.

The failure of the Russian expedition, which would appear
to have been for some time perfectly well known in Europe,
begins only now to be believed in India, and seems only to
have been conjectured even at Herat. Statements as to the
advance of the Russian army, its numbers, strength, and ar-
mament, its route, its conflicts with and defeat of all its op,
ponents, and attending its final capture, subjugation, and de-
tention of Khiva and refusal to admit the Khan to the terms
formerly offered him, had filled the columns of every news-
paper in India for months together, and turn out now, in
every particular, to have been wholly without foundation.
Alarmed, it is said, at so extraordinary a thing as the appear-
ance of vigour and determination in the councils of England,
and assumed by our foreign minister, that any advance to-
wards our Indian frontier would be viewed and punished as
an act of aggression against England, the Czar. for the pre-
sent, has thought fit to arrest or withdraw his armies.
