CHINA.
The latest adviees from China, state
that the British were proceeding 10 esiab-
lish themselves permanently q; Hong

was not at all improbable, accompanied
perhaps by another attack upon Canton.
The arrival Of the expected reinforce.
men,s from India was waited for. With
this additional force the British would be
able TO resume operations on a more ex-
tensive scale than hitherto. A direct
movement towards Pekin, as IL would be
the readiesi way TO bring matters TO a
conclusion, would be likely 10 follow from
the concentration Of the British troops.
