greater or less degree Of distincsness from
that time until the moment of final contact,
at eleven minutes past seven.
The morning was unfavorable for observa-

Later from China.

The Sea Nymph arrived at San Francis
co on the 23d inst, bringing Hong Kong
papers to the 2sth of August:
Doubts are entertained as to the intention
Of the Chinese to abide by the terms of the
late treaty between the Chinese and English
and French, made at Tien-tsen.
At Canton every preparation was being
made by the Chinese for the resumption of
trade. The merchants were opening their
establishments, and the inguists had receiv
ed instructions to facilitate the discharge Of
ships waiting at Whampoa. The blockade,
however, was still on, and Of course could
not be taken off without the Admiral's or
ders.
PEAoE.-Hwang Imperial Chinese Com
missioner, has issued proclamation to the
Chinese in which he SAYS:
| command that you pursue your usual
callings, and behave dscreetly now that you
know that peace has been declared at lientsn
and that henceforward natives and foreigners
will be as friends. Tranquility will be re-
stored, and trade, unhindered, will flow in its
accustomed channels.
If disturbances are raised, with one accord
and with united strength you will seize the
offenders, the niurers of my people, and de-
liver them over for Judgment.
