A vigorous young mind may be very apt, when dis cussing the wrong side of a question, to beled away by his own sophistry, and impress false deductions on his audience with all the glowing eloqueiice of imagined truth.

All the opium in receiving ships, amounting to 20,983 chests, had , been deliv ered to the Chinese.. A general edict, which we publish, gives liberty to all foreigners to leave China, including the sixteen proscribed ry a former edict, some of whom have been ordered to quit the country in a very short tune. By the edict alluded to, it will be seen that any foreigners who may remain, and who will bring opium to Canton, shall be capitally executed, and the property confiscated. A public notice of the British resident points out 'to foreign ers the danger of remaining under such threit4i, and we understand that he, Mr. Snow, our Consul, and the majority of the foreign residents, have derenuin ed immediately to depart. A correspondent writes us, that Under the Chinese edict, w the tnnocent are as likely to be accused as theguilty, and life at Can ton would be wprth little.

The Chinese have commenced huilduig • wall and railing, to he run up close to and in a p@rallel line voith the a duiries, leaving the inhabitants the small space of our pates only.
