From China-The Panama from New York has a r
rived from Canton and brings dates % days later than
out the negotiation by every sort of device-to wear
out the enemy, and TO waste the lives of The English
troops. "When the Panama sailed, the Commodore Of
the British fleet had been assured that negotiations
would be forthwith proposed by the Chinese authori-
ties. In of long delay he had determined to push
matters TO e1temities, and storm the forts on the
Bogue. In the mean time when the Panama left, The
Chinese unks had been hauled into line, and loaded
with stones ready to be sunk at any moment for the
purpose of obstructins the navigation of the river
number of chop boats loaded with soldiers had also
been despatched from Canton, and landed the bank.

of the British should they attempt ascend the Cho
kiang.''-The British Admiral had permitted the Pa
mama to leave Canton, notwithstanding the blockade
and by dong had given great offence to the English
Merchants and Captains. 1t is really amusing, that
the Chine0e, who SO much condemned, Should
thus have got the blind side of John Bull and trcked
and gulled him into this mischeyous delay.

surprised if in consequence Of the state of the weather
IN some quarters, the polls may be kept open three
days We suspect, that generally speaking, the cleo
tons will be thin, except in some strongly contested
Congressional Districts.
The contest in this City was between Messrs. r. T
Daniel and Samuel Taylor (bo,h Whigs.) Mr.. D
was elected by about Isl majority
MIR. Sherwin McRae (Whg) is no doubt reelected

city, Mr.. McRae has probable 200 majority.
In this District, Mr.. John NJ Bolts (W.) is e-elect

The arrow sped by the arm OF the redoubtabc Ed

sistent with the disntcrestedness of the head of
party which once disclamcd all the spos of office, is
left to the people to decide Such devotion to your
ations, finds no countenancc in the examples Of Wash
ington and Jefferson.
Mr.. W. has assumed to himself superiority over The
other members Of the Cabinet and for proof of this
refer TO his instructions TO the Espionage Committee
and to his instructions through MIR. Ewing, &c. TO the
holders Of office.
Mr.. w. is emnently responsible for the proscr plion
which prevails, far the public advised for,
report says, that it has his full concurrence and,
mas'er-mind like his, is more responsible than the
other in the Cabinet, by whom he is surrounded
"From him, to whom much is given. much may be ex-
pected." If Mr.. W. has that ''warm and generous
heart which the Alexandria Gazette ascribes to him
we should wish him TO shew it, by public berality,
as we'll as by private charity. He who lends hand
to political prescription, from party feelings, is not
the less bgot in politics, because his own purse is
open 10 the poor.

we mark the restless anxiety of the slaves

make money, and the thousand lures held
out to spend it. The politician reads the
debates in Congress the merchant the

ger the gossip Of the day; and last, not
least, the ladies--bless such readers, say
we--they look at the poets corner, the
marriages and deaths, and where the latest
fashions are found. And the editor what
