was captured after brief fight. This city is s,ua
ted opposite the Island Of Chssan, and to the north
oil Annoy.
II had been determined by Sir Henry Pottingaer
to 90 into winter quarters after the taking of Ming
DO. This will give the Emperor time to vefect.-
In the spring, nearly the whole British force will
commence operations further to the north and pene
trate to Pekin. We do no. believe his Celestial Ma
jesty will make any concession Of consequence till
that is done. M ~
An edict had been received from the Emperor, or
derinq the English to be treated with respect. This
was after the capture Of Annoy, and shows the very
amable feelings Of his majesty.
With the exception Of the affair at Ningpo. every
thing appeared to be IN the same state as whea the
Probus sailed.
1t is said that the Mandarins, to keep the Chinese
soldiers from running, when the attack was made
on Annoy, chained them to their guns. Thes, when
the English landed, the long qued Mandanns took
to their heels and left the poor soldiers at ME mercy
of the enemy.
One Mandarin, Just before the attack. sent flag
Of truce to an English captain, stationed opposite
his fort, and desired to make an agreement that
neither should use balls but to blaze away at each
other with powder He said it would please the
Emperor just as much as iballs were fired.
All was quiet At Annoy.
There was report when the Valparaiso sailed Of
the loss Of the armed steamer Madagascar, on the
east coast, and that the feet had suffered considera
bly, from heavy gales
Fears were entertained at Macao that the Nerbud
da, transport with hundred and seventeen souls
on board, had been lost. A boat from her, with
thirty three souls, chiefly soldiers, had been picked
up; they reported leaving the Nerbudda in sinking
state, having driven over large reef of the north
| end Of Formosa. The boat had been eight days ct
sea when picked up The Nimrod sloop of war had
| been sent in search Of the NeIbudda.
| The mate and one Of the hands Of British SNUG
| pler, were decoyed on shore near Chuean and muir
| dered by the mandarins, in consequence Of which
the crews Of several of the smuggling vessels landed
and with the assistance Of the crew of H. Ms
steamer Phlegethon, burned village and killed
all the Chinese they could find.
There had been good deal Of sickness in the
settlement at Macao, and many inhabitants and
| Chinese had fallen victims 10 kind Of influenza
which was travelling about.

have been received dated the 2S:h OF last month
from Ninepo, stating that city to have been taker
and destroyed by the English. There are Reports
that an Imperial edct has lately been received in
Canton, of pacific nature, but we have not beer
able to trace this report TO any :a,sac;ory source
cations OF hostile inteatons being 30 much more
merous and better authenticated. The forts neal
Canton and the river are being repaired and garri
been Of late purchased by the Chinese, and these are
even imported into Macao by British vessels. The
Chinese state it to be really fact that Keshen has
been triedby commission At Picking, found guilty,
and was to be strangled after the " Leihtsew" ho
days 9Th August.) The Comprador was likewise
condemned to the ignominious punishment ofbeinp
cut to pieces, and mandarin who had recommend

about to be recalled from Punishment and again re
ceived into Imperial favor All this looks not as il
the Peking government intended very soon to come
to terms. In addition to this we hear that high
- IL r. - H.. r r

over the troops at Canton, with whom il il said he
intends very shortly 10 reoccupy the position the
Bogue. 1t is said that this new Commander who il
about to play conspicuous part in the war, had fol
