STA, England, Austria and Prussia who have come to
an understanding to guarantee the integrity of the
Ottoman empire. The Porte has received official
advice of the conclusion Of this alliance The news
brought to Mr.. de Boutenief by the steamer from
Odess must have been Of great importance, nasmuch
the garrison of the last named city called out
by the Governor TO break the ice 10 enable the
steamer to leave the port. The Porte had received
another letter from Mehemct ALI full Of respectful
professions but without abatins ot Of his preten-
sions KOsrew Pacha, whose illness reported

experienced at the ill-success of the mission of
Kiamil Pacha to Egypt, was much better.

| China.
The news brought to New York by the Talbot,
|
Chinese and the British, was correct. The facts
are these:-Captain Elliot had proceeded on board
of the Voltage, with the Hyacinth in company, TO
deliver chop to the commits sioner, hen fleet
of twent ynine junks sailed out with the mani
fest intention of surrounding the two ships Of war,
and continued to close round them, regardless Of
repeated and urgent warning as to consequences,
until il became necessary 10 open fire upon them;
this was promptly returned by the junks, when a
regular engagement ensued, and in less than half
hour five of the junks sunk another was blown
up, and the remainder, many of them in a disabled
state, crowded all sail to escape. This they were
| permitted to do; the example that had been made
| of them having been deemed sufhcient-or rather,
il is said Captain Smith, Of the Voltage, having
yielded TO the entreaties of Captain Elliot to dis
! continue the destructive fire from the ships, and
pc rmit the escape of the fugtiyes. IL is allowed
that the Chinese fought pretty well; but they had
800 men killed. With respect to trade, il appears

of all imports, but that tea and silk had advanced
There was nothing doing in exchanges.
