TIE WAR IN CHM.

LONDON, NOV. IL ne ONeIlallu ludil Has
arrived, with Hong Kong dates of Sept. Y.
Tie Times gives iull details of The capture Of
the Taku forts, Their special correspondent
saps II am unable to confirm or contradict
| the important statement that it is the intention
of Lord Elgin and Baron Gros to proceed TO
PeNin, as guests OF the emperor, accompanied
only by an escort of cavalry" The CORES
pendent then expresses the hope that the news
is untrue.
The conquest of the forts is described as
| dashlng little campaign Of eight days, when
the allies established themselves at Ochtang.
They had still march of twelve miles before
| them before they could arrive at the object of
| attack. The Chinese were learning the art
OF war, and, contrary to all Chinese precedent,
it was found that their positions upon the road
| had been taken with considerable military
skill, and fortified with much care. a Tartar
| camp had been formed, and the best troops OF
| China were placed behind the works. 1t was
| thought that il the weapons OF the Chinese
had been equal to those of the allies the con
test might have tavorably compared with sew
era European battles.
The English and French acted together with
| harmony and equal gailantry i'll the attack.
| The allies had got to within half mile OF the
great north fort, which, appears 10 be the key
10 the whole position, although some difference
OF opinion is said to have occurred among the
| generals on this point. The French com"
mander agreed to send his force to the attack,
leaving to Sir Hope Grant the responsibility.
The attack was made on the morning of the
| 2lSt, tour English and four French gunbOats
| drawing the attention of the forts lower down
on the northern bank when the batteries
| opened. The execution of the Armstrong
| guns found to be tremendous as their
| shells pierced and burst the walls OF the Tort
and an awful explosion shook the ground.

guns. When the field pieces advanced, and
rlfemen got under the walls, the fire was still
hot, and many were struck by rude missiles.
Here much OF the loss OF the allies was tXpe-
Fenced. The resistance oil these 1artars was
at last overcome. The surrender of other forts
soon followed, not without some chicanery on
the part Of the viceroy. The loss was severe.
Twenty-Five officers were wounded, two dan
gerOusly, thirteen seriously, and seven slight

ROME AND AUSTRIA.
1t is said thai since the Warsaw conferences
have failed to result in any understanding ia
vorable to the papal see Pic Nino is prtpar
| ing to leave Rome and to retire either to
| Spain or 10 Batavia There is no doubt that
| in such case, the French garrison would
evacuate the Eternal City at once, after the
| pope's departure. Such turn OF affairs
