TEMPERANCE MOVEMENTS. rom many pia-

From the London Morning Chronicle.

From the London Morning Chronicle
We received last night an extraordinary ex-
press from Paris of "Wednesday evening bringing
our Marselles correspondents summary OF the
news brought by the India Mail
Our dates are from Chusan 10 the Goth Dec,
from Macao 10 the 9th Of January, from Slnga-
pore TO the 25th of January, from Calcutta to the
18th of Feb, from Scinde TO the 22d OF februa-
ry, from Bombay to the lst Of March, and from
Alexandria to the 25th Of March.
In consequence OF the insincerity and tardi-
ness displayed by the Imperial Commissioner, an
attack was made on the morning OF January oil
the outposts of the Bogne forts. In two hours
the fort was in possession ofthe English With a
loss of only three killed and twenty-three wound
ed that Of the Chinese is estimated at from 800
to 700. Many were killed in the attempt to es-
cape by jumping down from their embrasures, a
depth of 20 feet, to the rocks below. The ships
and crews escaped unhurt, although the Tort
mounted 35 guns.
AT the same time the tort of Tycochtow was
attacked by another squadron. a heavy fire was
opened on the fort, and promptly returned, but
the Chinese guns were speedily disabled, and a
party of seamen landed TO seize the fort. The
Chinese made spirited resistance, but were soon
oVerpowered and the fort captured. The first
lieutenant Of the SanIarang was wounded IN the
assault.
The steam-vesscls then attacked the fleet Of
iunks living in Ansnu's BAY, but, owing TO the
shallowness of the water, only the Nemesis could
approach them, towing ~ armed boats from her
Maiesty's ships Her first rocket set fire to the
powder magazine of one Junk lS others were
blown mp by their own crews, and the rest es-
capped into the inner waters. Next morning her
Majesty's ship Blenheim began to throw shells n-
to the batteries at Wantong, and was preparing
to attack the chief fort of Anunghoy, when the
Chinese Commander-in- Chief made a commune
cation to Capt. Elliot, who thereupon dessted
from further hostlities. On the 20th of January,
a circular was addressed by the British Plenipo-
tertiary to her Maiestys subjects in China an
nouncing that preliminary arrangements between
the Imperial Commissioner and himself had been
made 10 the following effect
"i The cession Of the island and harbor of
Hong Kong to the British Crown. All Just char
ges aud duties to the empire upon the commerce.
