chssAn is not 10 ho given up until the treaty be

signed.
Is stated (and certainly there is nothing miracu-
ioas IN me laet thai hs Celestial Majesty should be
nhuenceul that the Enperor greatly annoyed at oui
occupation Of Chusan, and Minister limited that
the Admlrals visit had prevented the march Of fierce
soldiers 10 retake the island /"
We are sorry TO add that dysentary prevailed among
our troops at Chusan, and that the climate was very
unhealthy -
The Mems from India is also of the utmost mpor
lance. The Cabool and Afighanistan war has been
terminated. BY our adyices thence, we learn that
Dost Mahommed, after sustaining another defeat had
found il necessary to throw himself upon the mercy
of the British, and accompanied by only single fol-
lower had placed himself under the protection Of Sir
w. MNaghten. From Seinde also we learn that
the happest results had followed the steps taken there.
The Belochees had sustained further defeats with
siderable loss ON their part and conparal ely rng
sae mice on ours and had been reduced to submission
lhey had recently pundered the country in every d.
iecon but the greater portion of the plage had fallen
INTO our hands Chelat the 18th of November
oceupled without resistance by the troops under the
command of General Mott
All fears of hostility from the Seiks are also at an
emu Tor we are informed that Kurruck Singh, King
OF Lahore died the 9th of November and that
curing the funeral ceremony, his successor Nou- Be
oai oingh was killed by accident. Shere Singh has
ascended the throne With the two former, who
were considered to be especially adverse TO Great Br
tam, all dread OF threatened hostility has vanished
lbrahim Pacha said to have concentrated his
forces at Damascus, and Mehemet Ali was SO com
petey subdued that he had expressed his determine
sn to give up all thoughts Of war and TO devote him
eli solely to the internal Improvement of Egypt
Inc Chinese question is seted-fhe rar in Cab0l is
terminated, and MEHEMET Ali is Moroughly and ef-
fecfuaiiy subdued
he results cannot fail TO be in the highest degree
satisfactory. The power of British arms has been re-
cognized, or indicated, the expense of long pro-
Tacled and distant wars has been saved and an end
mas been put TO that stability of afairsthe most dan
gerous TO her commerce generally, however profitable
IN particular cases-which must have given to mere
speculation most unhealthy impetus
II has seldom fallen to our oi TO publish such a
mass OF vitality important intelligence from many
quarters, IN which deeply valuable British interests
nave been at stake that which have thus refer
red to.
The effects Of the Chinese intelligence have been
already iet The price of tea at the time write 3
O'Clock had fallen seven pence per H., whilst that Of
East Il dia cotton has risen. The cause Of the for
mer change is obvious the of the latter is that
large quantities of cotton which, had the
hnued, would have been shipped for this country will
when the usual trade shall have been again opened at
Canton, be sent to that port and that in
IN August last one native merchant Jemsct Jee had
IN his possesssn waiting the turn Of events upwards
OF 100 600 bales of this article !, Matters have thus
already begun to settle down to the level of whole
some standard.
