From, Cbir,,,.

By the arrival, yesterday evening, of the New
Grenadian brig Coli5ri, with China goods to Hack
field s. Co., we have received the Overland China
Null, of Sept 10. The news is not of Importance.
Admiral Seymour maintained a strict blockade of
the Canton River, and a number of junks had been
seized for attempting to break the blockade. No
fighting was going on, but both parties appear to be
waiting-the English for endorsements, and the
Chinese to be attacked. Governor Yeh still contin-
ued to issue his Boosting manifestoes, to which the
Emperor returned answer from Pekin, sc We agree to
it, In consequence of the war with the English,
the Portuguese port of Macao had increased greatly
in trade.
Another fight had occurred between the imperial
lists and the rebels, in which the former were severely
handled. The Chinese were constructing two hun
dred war boats, at Canton. The U. S. S. Portsmouth
had left Shanghae for Simoda aud Hakodadi.
