BY the arrival last night Of the East India ship Globe
Capt. Christopher, in li6 days from Canton we have
dates from that city down the 18th July last being
ten days later than The last accounts received from that
quarter.
The news from China continues to lie highly impor-
tan; to the civilized world.
Admiral Elliot, with the rest of the Anglo Indian
force, had arrived at Macao The blockade at Canton
in fell force a, last-and the Admiral and the rest
Of the feet had proceeded northward towards the Is
lands of Formosa or Chusan, TO the Yellow Sea-
The destination of the fleet lis plan Of action seems
not to be exactly known Macao Some suppose that
they will take possession of Chusan Island oppo-
site the great emporium of Marking; Others that they
will proceed TO the Yellow Sea- and attack Pckn the
capital itself Whatever plan of action the British
have adopted there TO be doubt of the ul;i-
mate success, or Of the important events that may
grow out of the expedition The whole force OF the
Anglo-lndian empire, Numbering population Of l50,
100000 extending from the Indies to the Burmapoo-
ira rivers, will be turned upon the Celestial empire
By Capt. Christopher himself we learn verbally tha;
the Chinese not in the least alarmed the force
thu British have brought against Them and appeared to
be Indifferent at the effects OF the blockade They may
rather like some change than otherwise The general
opinion that the blockade would be enforced until
some settlement could be effected either in two
years.
European discipline, steam power, military expert
cnce, and every element of civilized art, will unite in
this movement. If the Chinese are dissatisfied with
their government, should not be surprised if the En-
gl'sh were To ncite revolution in the Provinces and
do they did in llndostan turn province upon
the other, and make them do the fighting, while they
benefited by the conflict.
