oeiyed by this arrival is of great importance. Tn,
British arms, both in India and China have been mos
brilliantly successful, and treaty of peace has aclu
ally been signed between Great Britain and China
highly honorable and advantageous TO the former
In India, the British commanders had gained series
OF battles and, to all appearance, placed the Aft
ghans hors du combat.
The Caledonia steamer arrived al Liverpool on the
Goth ult. and the great Western on the LIST inst.
Very serious insurrectionary movements had oe-
CURED at Barcelona
The English papers are almost literally filed with
the official and unofficial details of the military ope
ratons in China and India, and of the rejoicings liz
England IN consequence of the important results OF
those operations
The release of the female prisoners in Afighanis
tan, is of the most interesting features in these
important transactions.
