LATER FROM EUROPE-IMPORTANT
If TRUE!

The packet ship North America, arrived at n.
York, Saturday last, bringing London papers
to Jan. 9th, and Liverpool papers TO jan. 9Th
The news so far as relates to European matters
is unmportant but if the accounts from China,
Egypt and the East Indies is to be relied upon so
FAR as relates 10 these sections, is Of great i,npor
tancc. The London Mercantile Gazette, thus
sums up the intelligence from China:
THE intelligence from China is az gratifying
as it is important, and is especially satisfactory,
unexpected; so little Importance had been at
tached to the progress announced by the last
! overland mail to have been made by the Chinese
expedition. 1t appears, however, that The Chi
nese question pus thoroughly setlsd-that the &C.
cupaton Of Chusan and the proceedings Of Adj
mral Elliot, have brought the Emperor of China
to his Senses and that be has offered to send plen
ipotentares to Canton Ningpo, for the ar
rangemcnt OF all matters Of difference with Great
Britain.
Shortly after the capture Of Chusan Admiral
Elliot in proceeding to the Pecho river, was met
by mandarin of the third rank Of the Chinese
Empire, though some accounts say by the En-
peror himself, while others affirm that Admiral
Elliot had arrived at Pekin, and had an audience
Of the Emperor. The Emperor has agreed to pay
&c, 600 Geo fer the expenses incurred by the Brit
sh in making war; other authorities state e.,
100000 sterling, as indemnity for the opium selz-
ed, and 81 100000 fer the expenses Of the war.
r,a OF nl, ia,
| GERS, has expressed pacific intentions to the Ad-
miral, and he disavows the actions Of his com
missioner Lin. This latter, indeed, has fallen
into disgrace, and the Emperor offers to surren-
der him into the hands OF the British, to be dealt
with they may think proper.
Chusan is not to he given up until the treaty
is signed.
Il is stated that The Emperor is greatly annoy
ed at our occupation of Chusan, and his Minister
limited " that the Admirals visit had prevented
the march of fierce soldiers, to retahc the island"
The news from India, states that the Cabool
and Afghanistan War has terminated Dost Mo-
hammed, after sustaining another defeat, found it
necessary to throw himself upon the clemency of
the British. All fears of hostities from the
Seiks, also at an end.
The accounts from Egypt, seem to be consd-
cred highly satisfactory by the English papers.
Ibrahim Pacha was still with his army at Damas-
Gus to which he had returned in i'll health,
hoping, it was believed, to avail himself Of the
Napier convention, and return peaoably to Egypt
Mehemit Ali, had again written to admiral Stop
ford, to send another message to Ibrahim, to ex
pedite his return and that of his army. Whether
the following paragraph strictly comedies, in its
tenor, with the foregoing, we leave for the reader
to decide.
"No hope is entertained that the Porte will be
able to govern Lebanon, now that the population
is rearmed. Mehemet Ali was still raising bat
teries and exercising his troops necessarily, and
had given notice to the National Guards Of Alex
andra that they were to consider themselves his
regular soldiers. At the same time he was max
ing preparations for the better cultivation of his
private estate, and had appointed his son, Said
Boy, and his grand son, Abbas Pasha, to be resi-
dent administrators in separate districts"
