"Fhe news from AfEghanistau Is also
important. 'O
"Mohamed, afler sustaining auo,be,
defeat, had found il necessary 10 ,b,o,,
himself upon the mercy Of the British,
and accompanied by q single follower.
had placed himself under the protection
Of SiFW. H. MeNaughten.
''FfOm Scinde, also. we learn that The
happisst FesulIa have followed the sleDs
taken there. The Belooches had sus.
tanned further defeats, with considerable
loss on their part, and 4 comparatively
IIiflIng sacrifice on Oun, and had been
reduced to submission. They had re.
Gently Plundered the country in every d.
reciiOn, but the greater portion of the
pIllage had fallen into our hands.
"lbrahim Pacha was said TO have con-
ceniraied his forces at Damascus, and
Mehemet Ali was so completely subdued
that he had expressed his determination
10 give up all thoughts Of war, and TO
devote himself solely to the internal i'm
provement of Egypt"
We have also received, per this arri-
val, Bombay dates of Dec. /, 1910, by
which we learn that Mr.. Frederick Staun-
ton, Chaplain at Macao, and formerly Tu.
tor TO tho SONS Ofthe late Mr.. r. Turner.
had been seized BY the Chinese, and car.
RED 10 Canton. It appears he was taken
while imprudeuily bathing in Cassilia
Bay, which be had been for some time
in the habit Of doing.
Subsequently the English and Chinese
at Macao had an engagement, conse.
quent on the seizure of Mr.. Staunion.-
Captain Smith, it seems, demanded of
the Portuguese Governor the release of
the prisoner, as person sci .ed within
his neutral Jurisdiction, and the Taoutee,,
or head local Mandarin, was accordingly
despatched to Canton to use his influence
with Mr.. Lin for that purpose. He how
ever returned unsuccessful, Lin having
perempiOrily refused to give up Mr..
and brought 700 additional
Chinese troops with him. This being
the case, Captain Smith determined 10
dislodge the Chinese forces who were en-
camped on the outside of the Portuguese
aud 10 that end landed $50
Bengal volunteers from a transport, TO. |
yether with 160 marines and seaman, who, |
lided BY the FIRE kept up by the men of
var, (Her MajesIy's ships Hyacinth and |
.arne.) and the steamer Enterprise, ac-
;omplished the service in 4 few hours.
1t appears that the abOve engagement
las completely put a stop to all trade at
Macao, the English goods al the custom
louse, there having been removed on
BOARD the ships at atCapsingmOOn, and ap-
,rshensions being felt that the Chinese
night possibly invade and plunder the
1l ce. On the 29lh ulrimO, intelligence
rom Chusan to the Isl October reached |
B.mbay. Admiral Elliot had returned
rom The Gulf Of Pe-che.leS having ne.
rotated with the third IN rank in the Chi
lese Empire.
The Emperor, it seems, has declared
lls willingness 10 apologize fJr the in.
ult offered to Capt. Eliot, tho superin
endent, and to punish Lin for his unau-
hurized aggressions on the English. He
hought il just, however, to give the high
commissioner heariRg, and said he
hould send plenipoteRtiaries TO Canton
Or that purpose who afterwards would
range terms with the English for the set
cement Ofthe quarrel.
