very briskly, and at high prices, on the eastern coast
of China, under the British flag. This, alone, will
prevent the possibility ol'a renewaLof the English
trade with Canton, and may eventually lead to a
suspension of all foreign trade. There is much ir

was a Mandarin of rank. Captain Elliot narrowly

The Canton 'Press of September 11—for which
we are indebted to Mr. %Vest 1111 l re, one of the passen
gers at the Robert Fulton—gives , a long account of
an attack by several Chinese war boats via a Spanish
brig—the Bilbaino--Iying anchored it the Ty pa,
on the 12th. They attempted host to destroy her
with fire-boals, hut not iniZc.eding, began filing up
on her, and-soon aver boarded in great numbers.—
The crew of thellig jumped overboard, and were
picked up by• the Chinese. who then nlondeiecl the
brig of every thing valuable, even to the charts and
the clothes of the sailpis ;after which they set fire
to the brig and left tier, taking the chiefmate away
with them. Six other of the crew were landed by
the Chinese on an Island near Macao, and the mat;
2 in numbtr, were put On. board tkir long boat
without oars or rudder.
The Press says there is no accounting for this act
or urrprovked hostility, as the brig was a regular li
censed trader, and the Spaniards never dealt in opi.
unt• Probably she was suspected of conveying pro
visions to the British at Hong Kong.
, The Press contains three proclamations issued by
tie high commissioners. One to tho inhabitants of
the villagei about Hong Kong, coniinonding them
to attack any Englishman from the ships, coming
on shore to obtani:provicions or waler—another fur .

The Arabs were overthrown at the first shock, and
after having lost a great number .of men and hoises,
fled in all diremtions. The column then marched
on, and passed the night in the upper ramp of
