CHINA.- Eriraci Of letter dated, Canton
/ May 2, ls23
Since the departure of the last mail, we have
received many very interesting particulars touch.
/ ing the capture OF Chn-keang- Foo and Nan
kin, by the rebels. THIS news Is entirely
/ through Chinese, many Of whom have received
/ letters from the latter city. hey report. howe
YER that the city of Chm Keang Foo had been
retaken, on the approach Of 80 600 of the I'm
perors soldiers from krln, Eastern artaTy, and
who IN conjunction with those previously en-
gaged had caused the insurgents TO fail back
upon Nankin, into which city they had thrown
themselves being force OF nearly Sixty thou
sand men and that a: the departure of the latest
coulers,they were surrounded BY an army Of l20,-
/ 900 men. Another portion of the rebels near
! ~ 10000 strong, had been detailed for Nan
kin, on the main body leaving he place to at
tack mn-keang- Foo, for very important
city called Yang Chew, which they had capiur-
ed, bit to quit which, and reinforce their friends
at Nankn, was deemed impossible, from con
siderable Tartar army, under the command OF a
[ celebrated General, having been dispatched to
/ prevent d. This by the Chinese is said TO be
/ the exact state of things by the last accounts.
/ I hey do not, however, believe that the new En-.
/ peror who is within the walls OF Nankin, with
so large a force of desperate men, Is likely 10 be
overcome, notwithstanding the numerical supe-
riority d. the Tartar force; and the general be-
/ lief Is, that he will succeed IN dispensing them,
and establishing himself firmly there, 1t being
the city winch, in his proclamations, is to be his
capital. When the new Emperor sent to Loo
Choo, after the above victories, for the 10000
tales, which the inhabitants agreed to pay,as the
ransom of their cry, numerous proclamauons
were carried by hts soldiers, who distributed
them among the people, and through that means,
some copies have found their way here. In
these proclamations It was announced that on
tho 22d day of the ID month"; fgJth Apri,) the
throne would be established IA the ancient cI-
" of Nankn; and there on that day, would COM
mcnce the Government de jure the restored
family of the Ming. But we have yet 10 learn
the result OF the battle beneath the walls Of Nan
kin, which must have taken place previous to
the above date. Via 5 ianghae, we have no
thing further than that Nankn and Chm keaug-
Fooawere IN possession of the insurgents, and
which news went by the last mail; consequent
liz all related above, Is said TO have taken plac
subsequently.
