 TWENTY DAYs LATER FROM CHIEA.-It ap- pears by ts-days mail that the Naagansett brought accounts twenty ays later from China than those pub shed yesterday That vessel left on the lst of June and had long and tedious passage through the Chi na sea, where she was overtaken by British yes- se, from which one of the passengers in the Narra- gansett, received news as late above stated This news was communicated to a Brooklyn paper and is republished in those of New York of the 26th ut.
 From this later information it appears that the Chinese had paid six millions of dollars for the ransom of Canton. The first article of stipulation was that the Chinese soldiers should be withdrawn rom lhe city. The second was as follows
 "Six million dollars to be paid a ransom for the city, within one week commencing 27th May; one million to be paid before sunset of that day. If the whole sum not paid within days to be increas ed to seven millions, if not paid within fourteen days 10 be increased to eight millions, if not paid within enty days to be increased to niie millions. Wher the whole sum is paid, the British forces to proceed outside the BOgue, and all fortified places in the riv to be restored, but until affairs between tn, two countries settled. Losses occasioned by tho destruction of the Spanish brig Blbamo and the Fac tories to be paid"
 The first aticle it appears was not observed; fol on the 9th June, the Chinese were again preparn, great quantities of fire rafts, and large supplies 0 match string and money had been sent Canton iron the different provinces.
 These statements, however, (says the Courier an, Enquirer) very confused, but we shonld judg, from their whole tenor, that Capt. Elliot is carryInl out his first idea, that of making Hong Kong a sta ton for all the Canton trade, under the security O the British flag. We come to this conclusion, be cause he warns all against going to Canton an' Whampoa, recommends them to proceed to Hon Kong, and gives notice that if any interruption is pu to free tra e and intercourse with :hat place, h will strictly blockade Canton.
 Here then the operations of the British before Can ton will probably rest for the present, but we have idea this is the finale of the war The reinforcement from India, with new Commanders and new Envoy will soon rendezvous at Hong Kong, and thence pro ceed as near as may be to the Capitol, and dictat their own terms to the Celestial Empire.
