M’Cul loch, Jnu. Hood, Committee of Arrangement From China% Correspondence of the N. York Express. Macao, Feb. 27, 1841. The war has at length begun in earnest. Yesterday the,forts at the mouth of the Uoc- Ca Tigris fell to Her Britannic Majesty’s arms. This was by far the strongest posi tion on the coast of China, and was occupi ed by foreign forces after a battle of two hours, without one man killed on the side of .the English, and only one-ship being hulled by one shot; .There were three fortsl—Ti ger Island, Wang Tong, and’A-neag-hae, mounting about 800 guns. Before the ac tion the troops from Tiger Island, had mo ved to the Wang Tong fort, which is lower down; it also is an island, being on theeast ern side of the river and mounting £OO guns, while the A-neag-hae fort is. on th'o opposite side, and mounted 350 or more’ guns, AK most'.immediately on the first gun bcing.fi red by the ship the Mniidnrins escaped to the main land in the only bonis, leaving no means of retreat, but. by swimming, for the 1500 or 0000 soldiers left behind; and such were their feelings at being thus deSerted, that they pointed the guns and fired on their own officersl • About 1000 were taken prisoners,. but they were at once liberated—the number of killed and wounded was very large. The scene was most horrifying—4lm groans and shrieks of the.pobr fellows—some dead, pi led on-the wouniletl—some, slowly - consum ing, kT their cotton wadded'clothes having taken. fire—others crawling away with a broken leg or arm, lest they should be thrown by their own countrymen, who were forced to the task of burying, into the recep?acle for the dead. A detachment has,been left in charge of Wang Tong. The ’ other forts .will be blown up, and a portion of the men of-war, with the steamers, remainder of the troops and a large body of sailors from the 74, nave moved up the river towards' Can ton. They will be detained a. short time to remove the obstructions in the river at the second and first bars, but we will, probably in a day or two have accounts of the quiet taking-possession df Canton; TUr from the blow they have received-atthe, Bogue. there will probably be ageneral desertion of the city,as soon as the forces reach Whampoa. Keshin’s conduct in acceding to the terms of the Plenipotentiary, has, been most se verely censured by-the-Emperor, who has ordered his brother Yihshan as Imperial En voy, Lungwan and Yongfohg as assistants’, to proceed at once to Canton, and they will probably be.- here in a few days. Six thous and- troops from the province of Hoopih, Szecjiucn and. Kwirchow, are also ordered to this place., H. I; M. Taon Kwang is fill ed with indignationaml grief;’- and'surely had-he been a witness'of the dastardly con ■ duct of This, lion-toiVed leaders at Wang Tong, his “hair would hayp stood on end,” and even his “finger nails staVlcil from their roots.” ’ The poor qldEmpbtar' must’ «nqst deeply sorrow that the hitherto peaceful and proaperbaa reign 'sllould thus be clouded. . E ven - the 500 flowers lately added to his banem; will. scarcely prevent His troubled dreams and deep drawn sighs. Shut sp in his palace; wielding.his vermil ion pencil, he orders generals Hb and Ko to maintain, and oppose—to exterminate—to advance and subdue,'and .by no means to allow their fears to lose the victory.. ■ Seriously, however, ho one can tell where the conflict'will end. As to trade, it is use-, less to anticipate it for six months to come. Should Canton be deserted the property, there maybe taken and shipped off, and in such case you will havejuantum sufficient of tea for the year—if there ,is . a struggle, the city will be burned. Our last accounts from Chusan. through aome Catholic mis sionaries, state that there had been an attack on one of the encampments—the Chinese were repulsed. The prisoners had not been released, and many, fears are entertained for their safely. Their sufferings have been ex treme. Some, among whom was Mrs. No ble, far advanced in pregnancy, had been exposed naked in cages to the populace: such is the Chinese report.. The opinion is, from the manifest feeling of the Emperor, to re sist all attempts at treating, except with sup plicants, that no settlement will be effected until the forces, moving up the coast and burning all the large cities on the way, reach Pekin, and dictate terms from the heart of the capitalT • /Vow the Pollavilfe Emporium. A highly respected friend at Harrisburg, •\yhose means of information are ample, ami whom We believe to be as well acquainted with thestate ,of political parties generally, as any other man living, writes to us asfol lows:“ ” - Hxnßtsfiuncq July 6, 1841. Gentlemen: . . , I observe in youV paper of the 3d inst. a notice that Geo. W. Harris, Esq. was'appuinted Post Master at this place Such is not the fact. Mr. Peaco'ck as yet is not removed. I believe there is no doubt but that the Post Master General sent’in the name of Mr. Harris to President Tyler as the gentleman to be selected* This was on Monday, the 28th ultt The President held it under advisement a few days, and on • Wednesday the.SOlh qlt. the .Telegraph., of this place, also the Chronicle, appeared, an -nouncing thcttnmejif GenetaLScott.jTsJhc.

The in telligence comes daily from every part of the state of great changes in his favor. The. utter abhorrence of the Jlntimnsons in Penn sylvania. who are now trying to dictate to the United States government what their course shall be., sickens cvery hnnest heart. It is now welj ascertained that. Hie great meeting in Washington, at which Stevens was so liberal about raising a fund of 8100,- 000 to erect a suitable monument to the . memory of General Harristm, was .only for the purpose of bringing the name of General Scott before the people, hoping thereby to drive Tyler into the support of bis measures, and to make him bow to his.dictation.

The committee consisted of three members; and as there was nut a single fed eratist in the House who was qualified (in that respect) to'serve, it had to be formed entirely-of Democrats. The members.ap pointed were Gen. John Miller, of Missouri, Col. William O. Hntler, of Kentucky, and Geh. this state. "They all did good service on the fields of their coun try’s battles during the late war with Eng land, and are now fighting for their country against Britain’s bankers instead of her sol diers., Again we say, ‘'The brave are al ways true)’ • .
