sccndant Of free English parents, and whose con-
dnct IN all those particulars It was impossible to

rpstored by the noble lords exertions, as If some

best to treakt whether by the clrculatlonci state

which he had no more conception than OF the Ian

he had no more TO do than with any treaty be-

ayowed purpose of breaking the state OF peace
between tho two countres for which he had
been rcprmandcd by Mr.. Webster.
And he had done all this, for what For the

scarcely say, that all the respectable persons IN
America were averse TO war with England; but
he had taken upon himself to assert that wher
ever III that coutry they found a laNlcss set OF
rabblc politicians OF inferior caste and station
a agroyeling, grounding set of potlclans-a set
Of mere rabble, as contradistmgulshcd from per-
SONS Of property, OF respectabilIty and oil INFORM
ation-in that quarter, among those mere ground
lngs in station, among the rabblc mob, they were
certain to find the strongest and most lnvctcratc
prcludiccs against the union between America
and England, and the greatest disposition to see
war instead of peace between the two countries.
The overland mail .lad arrived and brought ad-
vices from China to Jan. 2lst, and from Bombay
to the 2lst Of March. A number of the persons
most prominently engaged III the riots had been
arrested and punished, and the authorities had ta-
ken measures to prevent recurrence OF hostlli-
ties. The discontinued and angry spirit of the
people, however, was by no means alaycd.
The river between Canton and Wampoa was
greatly infested with pirates, who attacked and
pundercd every vessel they could master. Elopoo
the imperial commissioner, had arrived at Canton,
and was 10 have an interview with Sir Henry
POttnger on the 2lst OF January for the purpose
of arranging the terms of the commercial treaty
Sir Henry had requested 4 committee OF mer
chants TO furnish him with information and advice,
and had furnished them with a list of the new
duties imposed by the Emperor.
Much anxiety was felt as to the period when
these duties were to be brought into operatlon.-
The Plcnipoentary has stated that there is no
probability of change taking place during the
present commercial season, as at least one refer
ence 10 Pekin would be requisite.
lie, the Governor of Canton, had made long
reply TO Sir Henry Pottinger on the subject of the
riot, throwing the blame mainly upon the foreign
ers and describing the various ways in which they
by mprudencc and misconduct had irrtatcd the
people Though this reply contains nothing dcci
sre on the point, it is probable, according to pre-
r!ous accounts, that full compensation will be
made by the Chinese authorities.
The accounts from Cabool were that Akbar
Khan was firmly re-instated in authority, most Of
'he Afghan chiefs having readily joined in his
standard, and that his father, Dost Mahomcd, was
approaching through Pcshawur. Itwas reported
thai Akbar Khan was preparing for another effort
10 recover that fine province from the Sikhs.-
Our readers, says the Commercial. probably know

British influence for It's restoration was all the

lance and friendship which he proticrcd to Lord
Auckland. That nobleman, however, or his SUI
Pesior Lord Palmerslon, chose rather 10 dethronc
