sic, on. the 18th ult. The inhabitants were
aroused from their sleep, by the noise.
NJ. Jenhifer, u. S. Minister at Vienna, gave
a grand ball. on Washingion's Birth Day, on
WHICH occasion the Princess Metlernich did
the honors. From the description in the French
papers,. it must have been a. bfil liant affair.
In Rome; the birthday was also celebrated
in splendid style, by "a public dinner. About
forty American citizens were present. The
Prince de Canine, the distinguished naturalist,
who resided many years in Philadelphia, and
Mr.. Green, the. American Consul, attended, s

CHINA AND INDIA.
Dates by the Overland Mail are from Bom-
ba TO the Sd of February, and from China TO
the latter par, Of January. A discussion had
taken place, and somewhat spicy one too,
between Sir Henry Poltinger and the English
Merchants, at Canton, relative to the late dis.
turbances. Sir Henry had been requested TO
interfere for their defence, but declined posi-
lively 10 send troops to Canton to protect them
in the furtherance Of their trade. Il Is said
tina, he has requested his recall of the Home
Government.
The Canton Register states tina. an Imperial
Edic, has been issued respecting the miscon-
duct of the generals TO whom was entrusted
the conduct Of the war. The second of these
edicts gives the sentence of Yihshan, Yihking
and Wanwei---io be degraded and dismissed,
and have their heads cut off. The tone OF
these edicls certainly is not of the mos, friend
ly character 10 the barbarians.
Much interest exists in the imperial cabinet,
on the subject of constructing ships Of war af-
ter foreign models. Ii appears that Kin Wing
lin, one Of tho ministers, laid drawings of ships
of sundry forms before his majesty, accompa-
MED by strong recommendations for an increas-
ed number of effcen, fighting ships.
Upon this the emperor sends all the draw
ings 10 Yihshan. at Canton, ordering him to
have vessels constructed, if he considered Kin
Yinglin's plans the most feasible. Yihshan,
in long memorial shows that no kinds OF ves-
sells are at all proper for fighting, except those
constructed after foreign models. He speaks
of the wonderful reports of the high officers of
the United States ships Constellation aad Bos-
ton. during their visit at Whsmpoa. and pro-
poses that they be the models OF all the Chi
nese ships Of hereafter TO DO buiis. The
Emperor therefore orders ships TO be built of
the kind recommended, and OF the best materi-
ais.
THREE DAYS LATER.
On the 2lst. Lord Palmcrston rose in the
House of Commons 10 make his long expect
cd motion. Every body expected a motion
Of censure on Lord Asbburton. instead of which
he gave the anti-clmax Of a motion for copies
Of all communications between the British and
American Governments. and between the Brit
ish Government and Lord Ashburton, with re-
ference to the treaty Washington and the ne
gotIations which led 10 it. He made a long
and cap,ious speech; Of which we have only
room TO say that he complained Of Lord Ash
burton, both for what he did do, and for what
he did not.
|. Sir Ro5eR Peel, in answer, inquired with
indignation, how the noble Lord. member OF
government which, for ten years, had been un-
able TO settle this grea, question. could recon-
cile il TO himself to make motion like this
evadiug the real question, which was whether
Lord Ashburion deserved to be censured, and
substituting requisilion for papers which he
had already been informed must be refused up
on grounds wholly independent Of the merits
al Lord Ashburion.
We regret to announce the death Of Robert
Souihey, OF Tuesday. March 2lst. at his resi-.
dence in keswick. For this event his friends
must have been long prepared. For the last
three wears he had been In state OF mental
darkness. and a iwelvemonth ago he was not
able TO recognise those who had been his com.
panions from his youth.
Lord Palmers,on brought forward his mo-
ton relative to the Ashbur,on Treaty in the
House Of Commons on the cath. The debate
which followed between the mover and Sir
Robert Peel, seems TO have had very little eff.
feet, except to display the forensic abilities Of
the two great leaders.
Al the las, accounts from Oporto, still fur
