Later from Europe.

Steamship City of Washington arrived at New
York, Saturday, from Liverpool, Dec. 3lst.
Unexpected and important news is received from
China, that the British fleet under Admiral Sey-
mour had commenced the bombardment of Canton,
and after two days the city walls were preached
and the Basque forts taken The bombardment
commenced Oct. 24th, and was in consequence Of
the seizure of twelve British seamen by the Chi
nese officials, who held them against the protesta-
tons Of the British CONSUL whom they treated
with contempt and threatened with violence On
the 10Th twenty Chinese war junks were de-
stroyed by British steamer. The foreign facto-
ries vacated. property to large amount
burnt, and commerce paralyzed. Further time
was given, but the Chinese remained Obstinate
On the 9th fire was opened on the city walls and
the governors palace On the 29th the troops
penetrated to the palace, but were withdrawn in
the evening. The British loss was three killed and
twelve wounded. Attempts at negotiation contn-
ung fruitess, the city was bombarded the 3D. and
4th Of November. One account says that por-
ton of the British sailors seized by the Chinese
had been decapitated. The Chinese Governor
would give no reason for the outrage. The En-
glish papers do not apprehend that the affair will
lead to a general Chinese war, but think it will
terminate with the removal or submission of the
governor of Canton.
THREE DAYS Enthusiastically America arriv-
cd at Halifax on Sunday evening, but derange-
ment Of the wires prevented the telegraphing of
her news until Monday. The America left Liver
pool on the 3D., and her news is three days later
than that by the previous arrival.
The news from China is fully confirmed by the
arrival of the overland mail in England The
Americans, as well as the English were engaged
in hostlities against the Chinese, the U. S. ship
Portsmouth having destroyed Chinese fort in
consequence of an insult offered TO the American
flag. Accounts of the American affair are not full.
1t is however announced thatan American steamer
was fired at by one of the Chinese forts at Macao
passage, whereupon the u S. frigate Portsmouth,
