The Northern papers have news from China, by
vessels that left Canton about the middle Of De.
cember. A serious ARRAY (which may result in
troubles with the BRITISH occurred on the 9TH of
December last, 1t appears that British party who
went up in boat from the factories, to avail them
selves Of the guaranty of protection to foreigners
taking walks in the adjacent country, conceded at
the time of Sir John Daviss demonstration upon
Canton, in April last Were set upon and murdered
by the savage villagers of Fa-tee The number of
Englshmen was six: Messrs. Ruter, Brown. Small,
Bellamy, Balkw and McCart. The men not re-
turning, parties sent in search, to whom differ
ent accounts were given of the matter.
The Chinese alleged that the row commenced by
one of the English knocking down small boy who
was peting them; that this brought down all the
people, when the affray commenced in earnest.
On the other hand the China Mail of the 1lth of
December says, it is reported by respectable Chi
nese. that on landing, the villagers surrounded
their victims strong party lntercepting their re-
treat to the boat. An attack made with stones.
and a gentleman being struck the mouth and
severely injured. drew pistol and shot one of the
assailants More shots Were fired and it is said
that from three to five Chinese We're killed Two
of the foreigners murdered at this place it is
supposed the two who armed. The others
fled, and were hunted from village to village until
they were DESTROYED. Another report says they
took refuge in JOSS house. and We're taken out and
deliberately decapitaied
The Mail adds: THE conviction presses itself
upon us that we must either abandon Canton EN-
tirely, or Potinger or Napier must scourge this
headstrong, bloodthirsty race, until they hunhly
sue for pardon"
Doubtless British policy will not fail to make the
best use, now, as heretofore, of so good an oppor-
tunity to a stronger toot-hold upon the Chi
nese territory, rights. &c These indscretions of
the Chinese are fortunate accidents for John Bull
and will but enable him the sooner to accomplish

December II, says: * That Sir John Daviss force
which consists of frgatc, brig of war and a
steam frgate. with less than two regiments of
troops at Hong Kong, is entirely Insufficient for the
emergency the Chinese are better prepared for
resistance than ever. lie must be reinforced be-
fore he can commence offensive operations but that
such will be undertaken at no distant day. no one
can doubt.
The same writer also mentions the opinion of
some that the British would have to leave and de-
clare Canton In state of blockade, to prevent
Others from reaping the fruits of the trade.
