Blenheim, we suppose as soon as the transports
from Calcutta arrive at Hong-kong. They were,
many of them, we understand, seen by the Cincln-
natl near Pulo Sapato, and may be hourly ex-
pected if their destination be Hong Hong. 1t Is
supposed that many Will sail direct Tor Chusan'
indeed the Singapore Free Press states them as
bound for the latter port. Fine weather and the
seutherly monsoon have now set ia, and large
force may therefore in very few days be concen-
trated u, Chusan. whence we have no news later
than the Goth April. Canton Press, May H.

OS DIr.-The Chinese, under the command of
high Tartar General. have been considerably re-
inforccd have rallied, re-occupiea Tsekee, and
threaten another attack on Nipgpo.
Canton, April &c.
Portions of the Chinese ransom money have
been distributed among the soldiers who dis
tinguished themselves in the defence of Ningfo.
Reinforcements are daily arriving, asd there was
good ground to believe that the British troops
would ere long enter Picking.
The Emperor has issued his proclamation, da-
ted at Picking. detailing with great pomposity the
destruction of the barbarian ship Nesbudda in the
harbor killing, as he says, white, ) red, and %
black barbarians, and capturing l23 black men
and 10 large guns. We have no room for the de-
tails this morning.

| No ARREsr.-Thc Quincy Wing says: The
second attempt of Gov. Carlin, to apprehcnd joe
Smith and Rockwell, proved about successful as
| the first. When the officers arrived at Nauvoo
neither Joseph nor Rockwell were to be found
| they had either crossed the river into Iowa, OF
were secreted in that holy city. The Normons
treated the officers with every respect and offer
ed to assist them if necessary, tx fulfilling their
dusy. The whole affair begins to look exceeding
Iy like farce and this opinion is becoming very
prevalent. We suppose all proceedings will stop
here for the present.
