While they were talk. ing one of the villagers urged them to return to their boat, as some troops had been sent for and were then approach- ing. These doubtless had been sent to protect the village ‘on seeing the steamers approaching, and the villagers did not like to risk a collision. On reaching the boat, having delivered the despatch to one of the villagers to forward to the Governor-General, a party of horsemen was seen coming over the land, two of whom valiantly rushed into the water, half a mile distant from the boat. Two day after an answer was received, stating that orders had been sent to the Governor General to conduct the Unite States Minister to Pekin, but no interview has yet been held with him, nor are the time and conditions of the journey yet known. ‘Shanghae (July 14) correspondence of Paris Patrie.} behavior of the Amer who never became mi- Mtants throughont the whole affair, it is but just to a knowledge was worthy and b ming during the action. vening before hostilities, Commodore Tatnall offered the English Admiral the « eof his contingent of marines, small though it was—a r cordially, though perhaps somewhat tardily ule » it was not accepted.

Moreover, taking into account the tra- ditional subtlety of Chinese policy, a favorable reception for the United States flag at the Coart of Pekin, under existing circumstances, and after late events, seems to me the most skilful means—if not perhaps the only one—for that court’s relieving itself in the eyes of Brom from the responsibility of what has occurred; establishing by the very nature of the reception the vast difference that its own dignity, a8 well as the integrity of its menaced terri tory, compelled it to make between an ally peacefully presenting himeolf and another arriving at tho gates of the capital, with all the appearance of a nation, if not hos- tile, at least of one disposed to employ force. OHANOKS OF ALL FOREIGN MISSIONS IN PEKIN. ‘The following is: an extract from a private letter from Shanghae, pub! in the London News.— 1 have a gentleman living with me who Is only six weeks from Pekin, he having gone there in disguiso as a Ruseian from St. Petersburg, but the second day after be entered Pekin the Chinese authorities found out he was not. He was ordered to go back immediately. His sta: in Pekin was only three weeks, and he came back throug! Siberia to the river from thence in a Russian man- of-war to Japan, aud Qinally here. He states that the Russian embassy’ had not vet arrived at Pekin, and that they would find great difficnity in getting there; thoy would be treated like prisoners, watched by @ large num- ber of police. He states there are ono hundred thousand men all about Pekin living in tents, and that the soldiers of Tien-tsin are Tartar troops from the Amoor, com- manded by a path gr of great skill. He atates there is no foreigner with them. He states that he saw English made guns and revolvors in the shops at Pokin. It that the Americams are gone to Pekin bya round-about road, which the mandarins wished | dy; but Uhis gentleman states that he doubts much if they ever be permitied lo get into Pekin. EXCITEMENT IN CANTON. Our last letters from Canton, dated the beginning of July, says the Paris Patrie, speak of an evidently in- creasing hostility against the corps of occupation. Mea- sures had in consequence been taken, and it was hoped that owing to the increased surveillance which had been established, order would not be disturbed on the receipt of the disastrous news from Peiho. SPECIAL REPORTS OF THE PARIS PRESS. (Paris (Sept. 14) correspondence of the London Times.] ‘Two Paris journals, the Univers and the Presse, contain letters from China giving details of the affair, The cor- respondent of the Univers writes as follows:—The bril- liant English squadron, composed of twelve gunboats and of several other vessels of various sizes, and the two French steamers Dachayla and Norzagaray, anchored at the Peiho on tho 16th of June. In the forts of Takou no movement was to be discerned. A boat was sont ashore to examine the place; a Mandarin came down and prohi- bited a landing. The officer then announced the arrival of the Ministers for the ratification of the treaties at Pekin, and demanded free passage for the ships. The Chinese re. plied very rudely that no man-of-war could pass, and that he might seek a passage further north if he chose. Tt was soon discovered that the mouth of the Peiho was obstruct- ed by numerous stockadcs extending very far inland. To the questions addressed to them as to the object of these stockades, the Chinese replied that the authorities had nothing to do with them, that they were the work of the people for protection against pirates. These replies three days were given to the Man- darins to remove the barriers, A formal refusal was the rep During all this parleying there was a complete silence in the forts, not a flag nor a moyement was per- ceptible, the works were so well concealed that one might casily have thought the forts deserted. On the 25th of June orders were given to the gunboats to ad- vance and force the passage. The Plover and Opossum were fortunate enough to force the first two stockades, but the third stopped them. The Chinese, seeing them thus ongaged, while tho Starling and the Banterer touched the ground, lifted the mask by a cannon shot fired at the Plover, which carried away Admiral Hope’s flag. It was the sigual for a fright. ful butchery. The awnings (tendes) that concealed the batte were drawn aside in an instant and a terrible hail of cannon balls fell on the gunboats. These re- plied bravely, but the position was not tenable. The Ad- miral received two wounds. His flag was transferred to another gunboat and the action became general. The fire from the forts was too heavy for the gunboats, and had already sunk three of them. It was attempted to land 1,200 or 1,300 disposable men, but these, unfortunately, found themselves up to their waists in mud, their amma. nition was quickly damaged, it was impossible to advance except with the most extraordinary efforts, and the enemy continued to fire on these brave men, who could not make use of their arms. The officers performed prodigies of valor to encourage their men, who were harassed by fa- tigue. By nine o’clock at night 460 men were killed or wounded. The gunboats had exhausted their ammunition. The remainder of the troops regained their ships through fatigue and dangers impossible to describs. Sixty French of the crew of the Duchayla shared in the action; four were killed and ten wounded. The brave Commandant Tricault, of the Duchayla, is wounded in the arm, not dangerously. Beside the three gunboats destroyed two others were sunk during the action; fortu. uately they were recovered during the night. This is the summary of the most terrible check that the Europeans ever experienced in China. The letter then remarks that this event will cause a great sensation in Japan and Cochin China, and that its consequences will be immense if speedy and complete ven- geance be not taken. Exemplary chastisement must be in- flicted on the Tartar, or European influence and honor will be seriously compromised in that part of the world. Not only is trade no longer safe, but even the lives of residents in China are more or less in danger. The mer- chants at Shanghae are getting ready to depart, and at Hong- Kong assassinations will recommence. The forts of Takou were defended by thousands of Mongol Tartars, and the fortifications must have been directed by Euro- pean engineers. The English state even that they dis- covered Russians on the ramparts. Butother proofs are necessary before admitting so serious an accusation. ‘What appears more certain is that the cannons proceeded from Russian foundries; that will not surprise you if you accept as certain a rumor universally spread here that the Russians have just bought an immense extent of territory on the Amoor, paid for in munitions of war, of which 700 cannons from part. The letter in the Presse agrees with the above in moat of the essential points, but it gives some further particu- jars. In the first place, it says that similar reports from. all sides gave warning that the expedition would encounter reat obstacles before reaching Pekin; they said that the ‘ukou forts had been reconstructed and formidably armed, and that a body of 20,000 mongols was massed on the shores of the Peiho, under the orders of a famous gen- eral, named Sang-ko-lin-sin. Mr. Bruce, it is added, ac- quired the certainty, on arriving at the Peiho, that the go: yernment would oppose the fleet's entrance into the river, but the mandarins with whom he communicated said that the ambassadors would be received at Pekin, and offered them an escort if they would leave their vessels and soldiers. The number of guns opposed to the squadron was estimated at 100, varying in calibre from thirty to 50 pounders. They kept up a terrible and very well’ di- rected fire. The English Admiral was one of the first wounded. Towards five o'clock, says the letter, the tide having run down with great force, several gunboats got aground, and their hulls, thus exposed to the enemy’s aim, were knocked to pieces. When the landing purty got embarrassed in the deep mud, the Chinese redoubled. the vigor of their artillery practice, and poured in quantities grape. Many of the men, overwhelmed by the fire, fell in the mud, from which they had the greatest difficulty in extricating themselve When darkness came on, the Hh arged globes of fire from their guns which to see their enemies, and to aim at them. Shadwell, commanding the expedition wounded, the order to retreat was given, and de movement was hailed by the Chinese with a frantic shout of joy. FEELING IN PARIS ON THE DISASTER IN CHINA—THE ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND CEMENTED BY IT. [Paris (Sept. 15) correspondence of London Times.} The Paris papers of to-day, almost without an excep- tion, express their satisfaction at the Moniteur'sannounce- e an Anglo-French expedition against China, and ral of them add a hope that the union of the two flags a common enemy will strengthen the alliance be- n the countries, and dissipate recent rumors of a If this be one of the effects of the projected campaign, we shall have reason to say that out of evil cometh good. Another advantage foreseen is the accele- ration of the definitive opening of China to European traffic and intercourse. The Gazetlede France alone, with its usual malignity towards England, while approving the chastisement it is proposed to inflict on the treacherous Chinese, regrets that France should be obliged to associate herself with her for that or any other purpose, and is con- vinced that the Chinese would not have acted as they the French had these been detached from the cauge of the British opium dealers. Fortunately very few persons concern themselves about the opinions of the Gazette de France, which, having existed, according to its own daily repeated statement at the head of its page, ot one is evidently far advanced in its second child hood. Some of these mischief makers are laboring to make it believed that a large portion of the Parisian pab- ic hail with satisfaction the loss suffered by our navy and marines in the action of the 26th of June, and think it cheaply purchased by the trifling casualties among the few French engaged. It would be an insult to the French nation to credit such base reports, for which, moreover, there is no reason to believe that there is any foundation: The brave will always sympathize with the brave; and the self-devotion and gallantry of the handful of’ Eng- lish atthe mouth of the treacherons Chinese river are doubtiess as well appreciated here as though they had not been rendered unavailing by natural obstacles and by the immensely superior force of a barbarous foe. The same persons who propagate the ungenerous re ports referred to seek to make it believed that the co-operation of France in the coming expedition will be rather nominal than effective, that ths war will be decidedly unpopular in this country, that the French flag will be with the English on the Chinese shores, but that France will send little besides, and that even'that vill be too much to please the French nation.

The following is, ac- to the latest from jin Ben the true atate of things:—Mr. , United States: at Shang. hae; it is said, received notice ou the 16th, according to a despatch from the American Legation, that Mr. Ward, tho United States Minister, had gone up a emall river issuing into tho Gulf of Pechii and running in a parallel line with the Poiho; that he was as the but that the steam vessel hich he was, being unable to pro- he was obliged to stop at that place. Mr. Ward hoped to be able to go from thence to Pekin by land, and was expec! & Mandarin who was to ac- company him to the capital of the empire. The Atnerioan Commodore Tatnall had entered the river with the Pow. hatan, a steam sloop of wght draught, but which was, not able to go as. far as tho Tooywan, at about twelvo miles from the mouth of the river. The Americans had hired Chinese pilots, who had been authorised for that object by the Governor Mandarin of — Potchiil, Such are tho facts; they have given rise to the rumor ci pastas all the Chinese ports, thut the Amorican leg tion had gone up tho Peiho after tho fight and pursued their way to Pekin, particulars gathered by Mr. Fish are true, we are t) con- cludo therefrom that Mr. Ward had become confident that he would be admitted in the capital of the Celestial Empire with the of his logation. According to the same letter, Admiral Hope, who on the 26th behaved #0 admirably, wanted to renew the fight, and attack again the forts and works of Taku with the means at his disposal, and that, this time, he felt sure of success; but that Mr. Bruce opposed that plan, and had decided that noth: should be attempted previous to the receipt of news from London. As it is, the docision of Mr. Bruce, who has tho largest share of responsibility in the affair, was to be respected on this occasion. Admiral Hope has written a letter of thanks to Captain Tricault, commander of the steam frigate Dachayla, who had put himself under his command, and did not leave him for a moment. He declares in that letter that it was impossible to unite more bravery to more talent, and that Cemmander Tricauit and the marines under his command were always in the hottest of the fight. During the whole of it the greatest cordiality existed between the marines of both nations, It Admiral Hope was not sucoessful in this affair, overy ‘one acknowledges that he has given proofs of admirable courage, and that, seeing the magnitude of the disaster, he exposed himself several times to be killed. ‘The wounded of the English squadron have been brought back to Shanghac. They ure so numerous, and their wounds are so serious, that the commander of our naval forces has placed part of the surgeons of the French division at the disposal of Admiral Hope for the service of the English hospital of Shangha: NEWS FROM CHINA IN RUSSIA—RUMOR OF AN IN TENDED ATTACK ON THE ALLIES.

Things must have assumed a serious aspect, as Couni Mouravieff Armourski, the Governor of East Siberia, has Set out in person for China and Japan, on a mission of mysterious purport. At the same time, however, the best relations seem to prevail with the Chinese at Kiatka, as well as with the Burjales and Mantchurians, in the newly conquored province of the Amoor. The following ex- tracts from Siberian correspondence, published in the Northern Bee, will, 1 think, prove interesting at the present moment:— ‘The Chinese in the country adjacent to Eastern Siberia seem: to be astonished at the orderly behavior of the once dreaded Locha (Russians). Frequently they may be heard asking how the Russians could have improved go much upon their former customs.

Nevertheless, I am sorry to say that our Kiakta commerce is flat and dull, Formerly all the tea imported into Russia passed through that frontier town. Since the conquest of the Aumoor country, however, the Kusso-American Company have adopted the plan of des} to Shanghae and Canton to get cargoes of that article; and now you may witness the uncom- mon sight of tea chests at Irkutsk stamped with the private trade marks of English rms.

A buropean scholar, though thoroughly conversant with the grammars of Abel Remusat and Stanislaus Jullien, would not be able to un- derstand a word of the living tongues from the mouth of a na- tive Chinese of the present day. The following csrrespondeuce is from the town of Tehita, in the trans-Baikal province: Our town, now the capital of a district, is progressing in such Yankee fashion, that its developement must be reckoned by months, not years. We have warehouses, where you can ob- tain European goods of all sorts. Indeed, St. Petersburg Seems to have been transplanted to the wilderhess of the forest. Pastry and all kings of articles of luxury find now numerous urchasers, and are exposed for sale in large quantities, fetch- shigh prices. Since the Amoor country has been added to £userritory, the number of travellers through this town has reared tenfold.

Are not the English procuring Chinese settlers for Australia, and why then should we despise them? Besides, the Chinese would form a useful element In co mteracting the Mantchoo popula. tion, from which they are utterly separated by race, customs and’ language.

[From the London Times, Sept. 16.] We fear that we cannot accuse the Mongols who resist- ed our attack on the forts of the Peiho of treachery, how- ever plain it is that the Court of Pekin has deliberately and perfidiously violated a solemn treaty. There are dis- crepancies in all the accounts we have received of the precise transactions which took piace between the arrival of the British flotilla off the mouth of the river and their attack on the forts, but the witnesses are unanimous in declaring the Chinese to have stated that they would resist any attempt to force the booms and the passage of the river, and that our officers prepared the fleet for the bombardment of the defences and the capture of the forts, Sofar we knew what we were about; at least we were warned that resistance would bo made; but it would appear that we very much underrated the means, extent, and nature of the opposition. We are now about to enter on a new war with China. The perfidy of the Court of Pekin must be sharply, fully and inexorably punished. But let us fully admit that we have a new enemy to deal ‘with; that the fanatic Mongols are now arrayed against us; that their leader is brave and skilful, and full of strategic device; let us even throw in a handful of Russians, and, thus prepared, we shall run no risk of defeat. The news of this sanguinary Tepuise wil! not only fly through China, but it will, Fear, agitate all the bazaars tn India, and penetrate even the ravines of Nepaul. | We must vindicate the predominance of the West over the Oriental races at any hazard, or be com- tent to see the East relapse intoa state of barbarism seven times worte than the first, and to abandon our trate, our commerce, our connections and our colonies in half the habitable globe. The men on whom that task shall de- volve must possess no ordinary qualities. Tt is more easy to found than to restore supremacy, but in the execution of the duty which devolves upon England and France it is an unspeakable gratification to find that we may rely, at all events, on the sympathies of the groat Anglo-Saxon re- public. Whatewr ‘may be the result of the fight, Emgland will never forge the day when the deeds and words of kindly Americans sustained and comforted her stricken warriors on the waters of the Priho. CIINA AND THE GREAT EASTERN. The following letter appears in the London Timet:— These twin disasters which have been announced together have startled us in our English rovelries of triumphant success, It is well that it should be so, and that they should have occurred at once and together, ‘for out of this nettle danger, we may pluck the flower safety.” Without anticipating the explanations from China, ii is clear that we must revert to our plan of operations in the first war, and stop the supplies of the Imperial city, and we should be cgreful to make the most of the favorable season. Jet, then, the trial trip of the Great Eastern be to the waters of China; arm her with Armstrong's guns, or the best and lightest rifled cannon, and embark in her a sufficient force of infantry, engineers and artillery, and Jet her make 4 e Yung-tee-Kiang, which she ma sor 80. The appear ance of such mamentat such a time as and such an «would have a me ocour in the Nara ood of the Grek Sosiers ae i es be 7 recent disaster, ’ fabrisccoreie the satoons with mirrors the men who are to achieve auch a ire them. If Lord Elgin should be dis- post, let him embark with the expe don, and the troops would be ready, with lighter craft, to proceed on, if required, to the Poiho. As the telegraph to India is now open, let another expo- dition of European, and native troops who are without caste prejudices, be organised and despatched from Bengal, Bombay and Kurr , to so operate. Tho season is favorable for the voyage, as it is for the operations in a, and if the French desire to co-operate, the Great Eastern could accommodate « brigade of their troopa with our own. Let an able officer be sent in command from this country, and let Lord Clyde select the commander for the Indian contingent, who should be volunteers. THE EFFECT OF THE NEWS ON THE MARKETS.
