IMPORTANT FROM CANTON.

We suboin letter from Canton with which we
have been obligingly favored by commercial friend
1t announces serious rupture between the Bri.
fish and Chinese, the consequences of which cannot
be readily foreseen The situation of the place is
described by other letters, truly deporable The
withdrawal of the British, with all their treasure,
had occasoned complete suspension of trade.
The lower classes of people were outrageous
against the Vice Roy, thinking that he had compro
mitted the honor Of the Chinese Empire, by yield.
ing two of his strongest points in his demands, and
|by his condescendng to send deputatons down the
river, begging the British to return and resume
their trade. 1t was generally supposed, that when
the Emperor should be informed of the conduct of
the Vice Roy, and of the concessions he had offered
to the British, that he would order him TO be de-
Icapitated.
