John Towniog sod Admiral Seymour
give soeouos Of tie attempt to resAke
Tsstolum Fort end OF 90 attack on the
British chipping by vsss number Of
Chinese Jsnks.
The attack was well concerted and
made at low water. when the large
men of war could not well maneuvre,
but it was brilliantly repealed. Sir
Michael Seymour had thought it wise
to abandon his post at Dutch Folly
and the factory gardens and had
strengthened his position 1T the forts
lower down the river. Five hundred
men were expected at Singapore.
The details Of the massacre Of Eurnpe-
ans on board the Mistile, are also com
municated in their dispatches. On
January 18th the whole of the sub
urbs west Of Canton were burned by
the British forces. A large fire had
ais" taken place inside the city.
The mandarin have issueds in vari-
GUS districts the most blood thirsty
edicts against the English, and have Of
ferred large rewards to those whc may
succeed in assassination or incendiarism
in Hong Kong. The Chinese have
been ordered to quit the servic Of for
cigncrs and return to their homes, and
SO powerful is the Mandarin system.
disobedience entails much trouble If
not positive destruction on the rela ives
ofthc offenders The consequence is
that nearl y all have left or are leav ng.
