We left Macao Roads on the morning OF the 22j uit

1t is generally understood, that We Az now bount
homeward.
Just before leaving China the Commander addressed
a some what long communication 10 The Vicefoy o

reipners without the necessity al treaty ssipuations
and reera.es the assurance that tiie claims OF GU
citizens for damage; sustained in the December RIO
at Canton, shall be promptly paid at Inc stipulated
time.
Hitherto the Commodore's communications hav,
generally been received BY Chinese officer dispatched
from the city for that purpose nj the Consno House,
Office of the Hong Merchants, or atthe American Con
sulate.
On this occasion, Lieut.. R. the bearer of the com
mun,caton, directed TO proceed 10 the c'y gates
and there to ask to be permitted TO enter and deliver
10 the Vceroy in person.
On his arrival al the CITY gates, he was directed Il
return and forward the communication through the
Hong merchants This was OF course contrary to his
ms uctous and he therefore invited 10 the near
est Governmen, Office, just within the gates, where
on the arrival of the proper officer, he dvrreo tue

was Informed, BY MIR. Acome, the Spanish D'plo

Canton had assured him. that The same privileges would
be granted that patton, as 10 Great Britain, with the
exception of an Island and am further informed, by
the .,Secre,ary Of the phpplne islands that this ar
rangement includes specifically, privileges OF com
MERGE and the right of residence al those ports, to
which foreigners are admitted
The French have also been engaged in some nego-
ta,ions, but am NJ, definitely informed OF the re
suits though presume that they have been, al least
partially successful In acknowledging one OF ths
ommuuicatlons of the French agent, the term "Piu
or "Peut,on,' was used by the V,c-roy, who was I'm
medatety informed, that neither the kng of the French
nor his agents da,ened 10 petition Tor any tnlng An
apology promptly rendered
That decided change has taken place in the policy
of the Celes,,als quite OBVIOUS But it must be re-
membered nevertheless, that the Vceroy, or Governor
Of Canton is but subordinate authority and unless
his doings have the of the Emperor, the Cen
trail Government Will have the power TO dlsavow his
proceedings.
The Chinese are terrifying the month of Canton
River extensively, and though their works are not
in all respects, upon The most approved principles
they surpass by far the old forts which the English
destroyed.

time past, principally amongst the lower classes OF
