The press is chiefly occupied with the discussion of
international questions of which have direct in
tcrest for Spain allue to the situation of the French
empire and to the debates which have taken place In the
English Parliament the slave trade. The French
journal published here called the Independence EYagnoe
remarks on the language employed by several Spanish
papers, which, ii says have opened reel crusade against
the French empire, the Nopdids having published three
articles couched in strong language the past and with
gloomy forebodings to the future The Independence
Epqgnoe comprises among the crusaders the ministerial
journals This is not correct there Is journal which
strictly be considered ministerial that ventures
a systematic support of the government moreover,
the government have adopted against strangers very rig
orous measures, which are undoubtedly with a view to
satisfy the demands Of France and sufficient latitude is
not allowed TO critici the imperial policy At all events
It Is under the circumstances when the conservative

disquietude which prevail in Europe, that the fndsnd

CHINA.

TIong Kong correspondence Times May 5th
Pch- Kwe our Viccroy OF Canton, the Tartar General
the Hoppe and another high official of our setting up
were taEen into custody this week. by order of Mr..
Parkes and the other commissioners The charge against
them probably not undeserved-that of Intriguing
with the Cinnamon outside the city, and meditatng
escape Indeed, Mr.. Parkcs says that at the very
ment when General Van Staubenzee securing them
the preparations for immediate fight far adj
vanced that in another hour they world have been
out Of the city.
The of the present stanation Of trade at Canton
is the insecurity of the position there under these altered
circumstances Nobody knows who is in power, what
is power whether Chinese European where begotten
where nourshed For example, Poh-Kwe and his brother
officers, after being kept some days in durance
released, ''yet under guard They not, for
hour even while under arrest, superseded ia their
spective offices On the contrary 1t being thought that
the unwilngncss of the Iiugusts" to execute the
ders of the foreign merchants at that uncture might be
owing to their dread of the consequences to themselves
Of trading while Canton was without q custom house.
the imprisoned Hoppe applied by Mr. Parkes and
the result order issued by bin in Tint capacity
directing his country to trade with the English The
Cinnamon puyyled to account for these anomalies
They say, suppose Engshman come Hoppe housey, how
can housey belong Hoppe r. tF1
lac English general continues to be full of anyietes
and aams for the safety of the garrison 1t is observ
able however that the worst rumos on this head inya
rably reach him his return to Canton after each of
his many trips TO this colony and the general impress
sion here and there u.s. that bis simplicity is played upon
by the people about him. Unhappily estrangement
between himself and the body Of officers under him do
pycs him Of the means of setting himself right by their
information and advice. ~
There have been reported an outrage two committed
by the Cantonese rabble upon military police, In
retaliation for III treatment alleged to have been commit
ted by abbe of police and camp followers but
I see nothing in all this. A 81.
More alarming, doubtless the secession Of numbers of
Chinese shopkeeers and merchants from Canton at first
sight seemed TO be- but again upon inquiry this alarm
tt1rpe hal IN new nuvc n had
led the general most inudciousy to close every land
ward gate OF the city and all the river gates but one
On their SIDE the Cantonese not less prone panic than
