Y ork on Saturday morning, in "a days from Liver
rool, brings London dates 10 the 6th and Liverpool
ia the 9TH of January The information of any in
crest by this arrival relates entirely to the ALTAR be-
tween England and China. The overland mail had
arrived. The London pspcrs announce the sun
MISSION of China to the demand of England. It
would rather seem that the Chinese have consented
70 treat with them, which, after all, may amoun, to
nearly the same thing. Our files came duly 10
hand. Jf Ihe information which we have is correct,
The is al important to the British. The affair
with China is arranged, the Cabool war is termina-
ted, and the hostility of the Sheiks removed.

we to day enabled to place before our Iea-
dcrs important intelligence from the East, which
cannot fail to be productive Of much qualification 10
every individual who can so far divest himself of
PATTY feelings to rejoice the signal successes
OF Geat Britain abroad under any administration.
The news from China and India we have recei-
vcd by the overland mail the intelligence from the
Crmer having been conveyed to Calcutta by II. NJ.
=. Cruiser.
Our advces from Alexandria are TO the oath ult.
and VIC are in possession of journals and advices
from Malta to the 2Sth
The intelligence from China is as gratifying as
it is important, and it is especially satisfactory be-
rause it bears with it this great zcst-it was unex.
-pec,ed; so little importance had been attached TO
the progress announced ty The last overland mail
10 have heen made by the Chinese expedition. 1t
appears however, that The Chinese question is tho.
r0rcAly sefttd-that the occupation Of Chusan,
and the proceedings of Admiral Elliot have brought
The Emperor Of China TO his senses, and that he
has offered 10 send plcnepoentiares to Canton OF
Nngpo fOI the arrangement of all matters in differ
cnce with Great Britain.
Shortly after the capture of Chuaan, Admiral
Elliot, in scecding to the Pecho river, was met by
mandarin of the third rank of the Chinese En-
pre-, though some accounts say by the Emperor
himself while others affirm that Admiral Elliot had
arrived at Pekin, and had an audience of he En-
geror.
The Emperor has agreed to pay G3,000,000 for
The expenses incurred by the British in making
war; oher authorities state e. 100000 sterling as
Indemnity for the opium seized, and Gl 100000
Tor all the expenses of the war; Tho Emperor,
either himself or through his officers, has expressed
pacific intentions to the Admiral, and he dsavows
the actions of his commissioner lin. This latter,

Chusan is not 10 be given up unit, the treaty be
signed
1t is stated (and certainly there is nothing mrac-
ulous in the fact that his Celestial Majesty should
be SO infuenced) that he Emperor is greatly an.
noyed at our occupation of Chusan, and his Minis

the march Of fierce soldiers to retakc the island"
We are sorry to add that dysentery prevailed a.
Inong our troops at Chusln, and that the climate
was very unhealthy.
The news from India is nlso of the utmost i'm
PorIance. The C0bool and AiIghanstan war has
been terminated. By cur adv!ces thence, we learn
that Dost Mohammed, after sustaining another de-
teat was compelled to throw himself upou the mercy
ofhe British, and accompanied hy only single fol-
lower, had placed himself under tie protection of
Sr W. MNaGhlan. From Scinde, Gso we learn
that the haPPiest results had followed the steps Ia

an end; for We informed tn, Kuuuck Singh,
King of La,hyrc, died on the 5lh Of November and
hat during the funeral ceremony his successor
Nou-Neba Singh, was killed by accident Shere
