Foreign News.

A synopsis from the New York Tribune
By the arrival of the steamship North
American and city of Baltimore we have ad-
vices from Liverpool to the 18th inst, FIVE
days later than previous intelligence. The
most important news by this arrival is from
China. The English and French Plenipo-
tent;aries having arrived of the River Peiho,
below Pekin, on the l7th of June, found
that the fortifcations had been rebuilt, and
and stakes. On the 25th, no notice having
been taken by the Celestial Government of
thier arrival, the Pienpoten,iaries Joined the
sqadron under Admiral Hope, and attempted
to force passage up the river to the cap
ital, when batteries, which hadbeen masked
were uncovered, and deadly fire was open
ed upon the squadron, which was returned
with spirit; but after severe action the
force retired, with loss Of three gun-boats,
and 464 killed and wounded. Among the
killed were seven officers, and among the
the wounded seventeen, Admiral Hope among
the latter. The French force consisted OF
only sixty. Of whom fourteen were killed
and wounded. This gross violation of trea
ty stipulations will most likely lead to an.
other war. The American ambassador is
said TO have been quietly and peacefully ad-
mitted at Pekin-a fact which excites the
ire of The London Times. A feed.pipe cas-
ing in the forward funnel of the steamer
Grea, Eastern had exploded. killing five
firemen and dangerously wounding a larger
number, and committing sad havoc with the
grand aoon and lower deck cabins, through
which the funnel passed. The numerous
/ guests on board the monster steamer had
just risen from. dinner and ieit the saloon

more disastrous. The pe,iormaGc,s II he
