China.-The China Mail Extra, dated Hong
Kong, November "a, brings nine days later in
telligence than that received by the last mail.
The most stirring of events since last accounts
has been an insane attack by Imperialists on
| boats from United States ships of war, and the
| well merited punishment which followed the
| firing on them. The Mail says:
'9The Barrier Forts being entirely demosh-
| ed, the Americans intend to retire from the
| quarrel, it is said, and wait the issue of Admi-
raj Seymour's demonstration before again ope-
rating. The French have also withdrawn their
men-of.war's men from the factories, and, report
has it, have taken possession of the Lptat forts

| they intend holding pending the arrangement
Of some matters which they, too, have to pre-
sent to the Government of China, the recent
| cruel torture and murder of the missionary
| Chapdelaine having yet to be explained to the
authority qualified to receive the explanation,
NJ. de Montigny, now on his way here from
| Cochin China.
| Disappointed in the hope of bringing the
| Canton Government to proper sense Of duty
| by the harsh means reported in our last sum-
mary, Admiral Seymour now relies, apparently
with reason, on coercion By the people. With
this, Or some such view, his Excellency is in
trenching the foreign quarter, has had captured
| junks flied with the remains Of demolished
forts, and is sinking them in those parts of the
river where danger from frerafts has to be ap.
prehended-booming off those tracks which it
may be found necessary to open on an early
| occasion Every native boat that approaches
the factories Is fred on, though few, since the
Niger has been guardship, have had the te-
merity to come within reach of her unsparing
| sharpshOoters."
