From CHINA-The ship Oscar, arrived last night
from Canton, whence she sailed Jan. 18th. Our ad-
vices by way Of England come down to about the
same period.
Still, the following letter of our correspondent at
Macao contains some details that have not pre-
vousy reached U.s.
Macao, January IA, 1872
DEAR BENNETT -
As II is customary for you to have correspondents
to your valuable paper throughout all parts of the
United States perhaps YOU would not object IN hear
occasionally from this part of the world. So shall
devote few spare moments to give you a view of
affairs as they occur here.
First of all is the war that England is wagng
against the Chinese, which, from present appearance
is as far from a termination as it twelve months
past. The Chinese seem determined to hold ont
and England will be obliged to send much larger
she will be able to make any serious impression upon
the mind of the Emperor. They are at present cap
turing all the junks they meet, and little do they
under the guns Of the fort few davis since ,:et hs
boats of II. b NJ. ship Nimrod actually captured
Junk within fifty yards Of the fort and the POOR fel-
lows, after having arrived it were at the Mount
Pisgah OF their voyage, were carried out under the
guns OF the ship They at first professed to make war
only on the Mandarins, and issued procamatons 10
mat erect IN hopes presume to enlist the populace
on their side; but now the proceeding are dametri-
cally opposite to their professions and the Chinese
begin to think that "paper talkee' is of not much
! consequence.
| II is rumored here that Captain Mas. the senior
| commander an Hongkong, is about to make an at
tack upon the iorts and only waiting for increase
| of force.
stIVIiS IL 10 tfht effect that the En-
gsh residents are all leaving Canton andIretuming
to Macao. For the last few months the Chinese have
been rebuilding and manning their forts: land II is
sad they are putting them in most form able con-
dllon, under the superintendance of a Portuguese
officer, who has entered their service: and from
| report recently made by Lieutenant Ocatoney. of
the engineer department, they are capable of making
much more desperate resistance than upon the last
| attack. That officer thinks that Canton could NOT
be again taken without the loss of five hundred of
the assalants.
l Toro L..
missionaries heIe from their brethren at Pekin that
the Emperor Is about TO his family and yalu-
ables into Tarary, and is determined TO defend his
| capital to the last gasp, should the English sue
about Is arming en- masse, and he is about TO dis
patch large army to the protection of Canton Ii
is also said that twenty French engineers have en-
| tered the service of the Emperor and are making
vast improvements in the military department
| Last week the mandarins seized several of the
| tea merchants here who have been supplying the
| English with tea, and conveyed them to Canton in
chains, where doubt they will be treated as trai-
| tors to their country.
The general feeling here is that the war is very
tar from close, and that many years will elapse
before the trade again resumes its regular channel
The price OF tea continues high, and several
American ships are loading at these very high
prices, though there are few ships here present
| Inc last arrivals from the United States the
| ship Oscar and schooner Ariel. The former will
sail In few days with full cargo, and the latter
will probably be sold for an opium smuggler. The
| following. is list of all the Americans.-O Oscar,
Mantle, Luconia, Conomando, Clarendon, Mary
Ei!en,lienry Pratt not yet discharged; Cynthia, do;
Lintln, Lima, Hygia, star ships: brig Cayuga bound
| to west coast OF South America; schooner Ariel.
Yours, &c. CHINA.
