from Canton have been received to the
first of June. BY the following summa-
ry from the Newly orh Star, it will BE-
seen that there is no prospect of termiE-
alton of the dliiculti~s between the Chi
Mise aud the 'barbarians.' 1t is not i'm
possible that Il war between Great Britain
and China will be the consequence

Gus intelligence previously received is
fully confirmed The British superin-
enIenl, Mr.. Elliot, published notice
22i May, that confidence in the justice OF

lurn. On the 24,b, MIR Elliot ard the
British subjects took their departure for
! Macao, here, as we have already stated
a few days since, the foreigners had all

previous to the breaking up Of the trade,
were Oided with tea at great cost. Goods
were also at high prices The opium

to 60, it was thought, in jpnks to Prkin,
to be dissolved into liquid and then let

The following is an extract of letter
published in the n. Y. Journal of Com

Canton, May 81, 1889.
The authorities still insist upon the
Bond being given for all ships that NAV
hereafter enter the port. and although it is
said Two or three vessels now outside are
preparing to come and to take the chance
of being able TO get through with their
business, we doubt if the masters or So
percargoes Will consent to sign the Bond
when they see the monstrous penalties
fairly written out. The Hong merchants
are, however, endea forinq so 10 modify
The document to make it both reasonable
add practicable.
1t is not yet known what measures. i
, any, Capt. Elliot will adopt in behalf 0
the British Government, bul that private
opium smuggling expeditions will be fit
ted out and many IawleSs acts committed
appears to Us probable, and we are vet Il

who may remain here will be made re-
f sponsibie therefor.
