CHINA.
ARRIVAL OF TIE OVERLAND MALE FROM In.
Ola, WITH LATER News FROM CmNA.-The
overland Indian mail arrived in London on the
9Th of November, will, dates from Canton TO
August 24tb, and Bombay October LIST. Al.
though the intelligence extends over long
period, it communicates no event Of any such
| importance MS we were led to anticipate from
! previous accounts. The London papers filed q
a dozen or more columns with the news but
after careful perusal of it all, we find only
the following brief summary which is of any
imporance:-Si Henry Pottinger and the new
Admiral, Sir William Parker arrived at Macao
on the 9th of August.
| In the Hongkong Gazette ofthe 18th, a mott.
6cation was published by the new Plenipotenti
airy, aud copy of his own commission from
the British Crown. From the latter it woult
appear tl.at Sir Henry Pottinger is sole Plen.
potenliary, and altogether independent ofanG
control on The part Of the Indian Government.
The notification declares that war subsiss be-
tween the British and Chinese, but that the
existing truce should be observed at Canton,
unless inlrnged by the Chinese authorities. 1t
also warns all foreigners against placing them
selves or their property in DANGER as there might
he n collision.
The Pienpotenary sent his secretary to Can
ION, with notification of his appointment and
arrival to the Chinese authorities. A letter is
also said TO have been addressed to the Emper-
or, 10 which an answer is expected at a northern
station; Chusan has been named. The inter :.
fereuce Of the Kwang chow.foo or Mayor OF
Canton, has been refused. He sought, as on
former occasions an interview with the British
Pleuipo,en,iary, but il was refused, AMI he was
referred TO the secretary. The imperial com.
mssoners and the other mandarin authorities
at Canton are described as alarmed by these
new measures, particularly the British ex
petition has proceeded to the northward.
1t is said that they offered large sum of
money to delay the departure of the heet, which
was declined These decided proceedings on
the part OF Sir Ii. Pouinger, it is said, have Civ
en- satisfaction to the British merchants and all
concerned. On the 2lst and Goth o. July, there
"eio 'ioieut yVuooHS OH Tue coast OI SnliiH,
which did much damage.
Every article ofimport into China from EGG
land and India, was lower in price than at any
former period. The exports of ten by the end
of September, would amount to 10000, 900 lbs,
and this would clear the market. The stocks
of British cotton goods, were accutnulaung in
Macao, and were at greatly reduced prices. All
this chiefly is owing TO the unsettled state of
affairs in China
