% Frdaynighi, the Times received the overland
mail from China, India and Egypt, by extraordina-
~ express. The mail arrived nj Marsellles ON Tnes

~ unprecedented speed. IL is said hat one car
rier brought II all the whole way.
! We learn that the affairs of the English, in Chi
ma remain IN nou quo. The English had deter

nese GovernmeSt had completed the ARRANGEMENTS
Tor giving them "Satisat ton" Admiral Elliot re-.
manned at Chusan, but was expected to leave il for
| canton, about the middle of November. The Bri-
sh force against China consisted Of 30 sail Of pen-
nants, exclusive OF steamers. The British troops
mad been huited at Chusan, where the climate and
| oau dIet were making frishtlul ravages Out of 5 =
300 men landed there, only 2036 were fit for duty.

ately have obtained terms from the Emperor who's.

Jets the fact that the "batbitlnn invaders had been
successful, AMI that the evident policy and design
