PBOSTON, March 20. —The steamer Alps,

jß ie English papers received by this ar
gil! contain the debate in Parliament on
motion relative to the war
ill Cpiina. It terminated in a defeat of the
Ministry, hut it is supposed that Lord
Pjpierston would neither resign nor dis
sol* llie Parliament. The vote on Mr.
Coli len's motion of censure, in relation to
tJuf .ittack on Canton was—yeas 26H, nays
247 a majority o( Hi against the tniuis

The London Times says war between
and Mexico is inevitable.
,i„ a —Advices from China to the
15th December, say that the Emperor had
prohibited bis subjects from trading with
{s§( English under penalty of death.
HONG KONG, Jan. 15.—N0 further op
erations have taken place against Canton.
The (official despatches give the details of
ah attempt, on the part ot the Chinese, to
re-take the Tee to-tum Fort and an attack
on She British ships by a vast number of
Chi: esc junks. The attack was well con-
Mi d, being made at low water, when
the large ships could not manoeuvre, but
tggs brilliantly repelled. Admiral Sey
mOT,!- had abandoned the Dutch Fort and
nctory Gardens, and strengthened his
SLiiious lower down the river. Recruits
were expected from Singapore. All the
Wfcern suburbs of Canton were burned
■ the 12tb January, by the English. A
large tire had also oceured inside the city,
'llie Mandarins of the various districts
ha issued the most blood thirsty edicts a-
Rttsi the English and had offered rewards
for assassinations and incendiarism.
■At I long Kong ali the Chinese have
Hen ordered to quit the services of for-
Bpgiiers, am! return under tile penalty of
H- desiruction of their relatives remain
in. at home. Consequently nearly all the
Gl inese servants hoi left tlieir situations.
Le ters received from Hamburg, sa f the
jjihate advices from Hong Kong are most
inning. The homhardinent of Canton
d excited the Chinese to a general move
em against foreigners. The populace
E beginning to show unusual courage, ere
ng great apprehension. 'I * f 1 1* movement
not confined to China alone, but lias
read t. Singapore, where llie foreign
sulen's have been obliged to arm them
Ives against street attacks from the in fu
lled Chinese and Malays. Another
,ter received from Hamburg says the lire
llie suburbs of Canton spread until llie
hole city became one sheet of Haines.
■ I'nsin.—The Parts correspondent of
■r London Post says the treaty between
■rrsia anil England h is not yet been sign
-111. Inn tliat hostilities have been suspen
ded, though there is no regular armistice.

It should he a matter of national regret

row n a necessity bar Governor Geary's

ppointmeiit .he Administration had been
inlortunatc in its selection of governors

lial calmed almost iustautly the perturbed
tale of feeling existing tiiere, ajid caused
i nearly entire cessation of the outrages

ly their frequency and atrocity. Gov.
Acary could not, of course, have accorn
dished these results without coming into
•olfision and exciting the enmity of the
factions opposed to him, nor perhaps was
Lis course entirely free from errors that
pertain to human actions generally, and
must be more or less the accompaniments
[>! the prompt exercise of power in cir
cumstances of doubt and difficulty, but,
giving all these considerations their proper
"weight, the fact still stands prominently
out that mainly to his efficient and manly
idininistration of the Kansas government
was the nation indebted for relief from a
series of exciting occurrences, tbe true
merits of which it was difficult to under
stand, but which, occurring at a period
when the country was involved in a heated
political struggle, were exercising a disas
trous influence in exasperating and perpet
uating sectional differences. 'Phis was
an accomplishment that it would he un
grateful to forget, and which should
now have a potent influence itt inducing
the administration to send him hack to the
Governorship with such ample support as
would at once settle the question as to the
supremacy of llie laws in that region. No
other appointment, however good in itself,
would so effectually quiet the renewed ag
itation in Kansas.— Baltimore American.
&3&The Hellefonte Whig gives an account
of a number of persons in " the great State
of Snow Shoe," Centre county, disposing of
n Mrs. Shealer, who, we presume, is a rather
f a J ' lady, in a very novel manner a few
weeks ago. After having divested her of all
her clothing, they gave her first a coat of
honey and then a coat of feathers. The lady
was lodging at a Mr. Fount's house, the roof
of which was torn off, and his stable burned,
by the regulators.
