THE VICTORIES IN CHINA AND AFFGHANISTAN.

By these combined movements at body of Tartars was dri-‘ ven into onedivisiou oftlie western outwork, without a pos- sibility of retreat; atid as they would not surrender, most of them were either shot or destroyed iii the buruing houses,

l The Gazette of Friday night contains dispatches from the , several of'which had been set on fire by the Tartar troops

official authorities iii China, India, and Afghanistan. 'l‘hose from China contain the correspondence between the Chinese Commissioners and Sir Henry Pottinger, Admiral Parker and Sir Hugh Gough, on negotiating the treaty of peace, to- gether with ample details oftlie operations at \Voosung and .Sliaughae, the storming of Kiiishan and Chin-Keauc-foo, and the assembling oftlie land and sea forces before Naiikiii. —'I‘liese dispatches leave no doubt that the bold and site- cessful attack upon Chin-Keang-tbo,’one of the strongest ctttes iii the Empire, and the appearance oftlie British fleet. and army before the ancient capital, left the Emperor no other alternative bttt unqualified submission. The force under Sir Hugh Gouin amounted to 4,500 effective tiieii,

‘ I accompanied by powerful steam-vessels of war, and hilly

equipped for any daring,r enterprise. To meet: this combin- ed lot'tzegnfiei‘ the fall of Cliiti~Keang-foo, the Chinese had no fleet whatever, and theirtroops were so scattered utid dis-

Olle ofhis dispatches to the Emperor, gives this ttielaucbolyj picture~“ At the present moment, the provincial capital is in the utmOst emergency ofpressiiig danger, and the forces sent to it by the terror-spreading General, are for the most part the remnants of such as have already been defeated and l scattered, while all the best and fresh troops are at Chang- chow, to be ready to act in such way as circumstances shall point out. But,” he adds, “Chang—chow is more than 500l lo distant from Natikiii.” This place is situated on the Im-

rtttious, (a le being reckoned equal to 632 yards,)‘ and had been occupied by the Chinese General for the plll‘Itose'Ol' obstructing the approach of the British forces to Pekiu. Of domg this effectually, he could not have the slightest hope, and, on the desperate condition oftlie troops, and the rapid movements oftlie English, being communicated x to the ca- pital, orders were issued to Newkeiifig, the Governor oftlie two provinces, to enter into negotiations for peace, astbc only means olsafety. It would appear from these rasults, as well as from the accounts given by Sir Hugh Gougli, that the number of regular troops in China has been greatly ex- aggerated. The total force that could lie-mustered at Naukin, did not exceed 9,000 men, besides the militia-«a garrison to— tally inadequate to protect a city containing 1,000,000 of’in- habitants, within an extent; of at least twenty miles in cir- cumferei‘ice. “It would not be easy,” says Sir Hugh Gough,

, in addressing Lord Stanley, “to give your Lordship a clear

description of'tliis vast city, or rather oftlie vast space eti- compassed within its walls. Isball, therefore, only observe, that the northern angle reaches to within about 700 paces oftlie river, and that the western fiice runs for some miles along the base of wooded heights, rising immediately be- h‘tiid it, and is then continued for a great distance upoti low ground, havingr before it a deep canal, which also extends along the southern face, serving as a wet ditch to both. From the great extent of the walls, although generally too high to escalade, (ti-out about 70 to 225 feet lll the lowest part,)and from the canals, suburbs, swamps, and lake, in most places difficult to approach, it was evident that I could take the city whenever I pleased.” Fortunately, however, he was spared the necessity, and averted those scenes of slaughter and sellldestructioti which the British had witnes- sed with stich horror at Cliiii-Keaiig-foo. Ottr abridgmeiit oftlie dispatches oftliis gallant and hutnaue officer relative to the storming 0f Cl’iiti—Keaug-f'oo, and the operations against Natikiti, will be read with great interest. CHINA. _ STORMING OF (IlllN~l(EANG-FOO.

Chin-Keang-foo, with its walls in excellent repair, stands within little more than halfa tnile from the river; the “01'- them and the eastern faee upon a range of steep bills; the west and southern face on low ground, with the Imperial Canal serving iti smite tiieast‘ire as a wet ditch to these faces. To the westward, the suburb through which the canal passes extends to the river, and terminates under a precipitous hill, opposite to which, and within 1,000 yards, is the island of Kitisliati, a mere rock, ristng abrubtly from the water; a small seven—storied pagoda erowus the summit, and a. few temples and imperial pavillions, partly in ruins, and only occupied by Chinese priests, run round its base and tip its lsides, interspersed with trees.

1 determined to make the assult as soon as Major-General Bartlcy’s brigade should Join ttie, as I felt assured that my guns would soon clear the ramparts of the Tartars, and I wasvgiven to understand that the canal was fordable, a ridge of earth evidently thrown up on the original excavation, giv- ing me perfect cover to within fifty paces oftlie walls.

As soon as the 18th and greater partol the 49th Joined me, every thing was prepared for the assault. I directed, how- ever, the Deputy QtiarteMunster—General, Major Gougli, to ascertain the correctness of my information as to the canal. Three officers rushed down the batik with him, and I think it but right to mention their names :—Captitin Loch, Royal Navy, who being,r an amateur in this expedition, has acted most zealously as my extra All'le-(IO‘Calllll; Lieutenant Hodg- son, oftlie Cornwallis; and Lieutenant Heady, Deputy As- sistant-Adjintuit-General, who has ever been forward where he could be useful. These four officers swam the canal, thus ascertaining its impi‘acticubility and the iticorrecttiess of my information.

I was now equally distant from the west and south gates, but perceiving that the suburbs would give me cover, I de— cided on forcing the former; we soon reached this poitit, and covering parties were pushed on close to the banks of the canal. Major Malcolm, oftlie 3d Dragoons, who acted throughout the day as my Aide—dc-Cainp, and Brevet Captain Balfour, Brigade Major of Artillery, were very. active iii dis— covering the approaches to the gate. Two guns, under Lieutenant Molesworth, ofthe Madras Artillery, were also Judiciously placetl,.so as to take the works in flank. _

Under this cover Captain Pears, the cou‘itnatidmg engineer, with great spirit and judgment, placed the powder-bags, and effectually blew in the gate, giving the troops a clear eti- trauce through a long archway, not, as it. proved, into the body oftlie place; btit into an out-work of eons1derable ex- tent. In this out-work we met Captain Richards, of the Cornwallis, who had most promptly landed the marines of that ship, on hearing that two gun-boats, with artillery, in proceeding tip the canal, bad unexpectedly approached the walls, and were sevetely pressed; finding, however, the at- tention of'the enemy diverted, he escaladed this work in the re-entei'ing angle neara sallyport. All further difficulties at this point were cleared, as we found Major-General Schoedde iti possession oftlie inner gateway.

This officer, with his wouted decision, taking advantage of his discretionary power, converted hisdiversioa itito a real attack, escalitded the city walls at the north angle, clear- ed the whole line of rampart to the westward, and carried the inner gateway, which was obstinately deft-adequ I can- not too strongly express my approbation oftlie spirited and judicious way in which Major-General Schodde fulfilled my orders; nor can I better convey to your LlCIl‘dSlllp the ope- rations of his brigade than by forwarding his report.

l

perial Canal, distant at least 190 milesfrom the scene of'ope-I

themselves, or by our guns. As soon asI could collect a sufficient body of the 3d Brigade, I directed Major-General , Bartley to proceed with it along the west face,and occupy 3 the several gates to the south and east oftlie city. The sun ,at this time being nearly overpowering, l was anxious to 1 keep as many oftlie men as possible under the cover until 3towards the evening, when I proposed moving into the Tar- ]tar city, and occupying the principal positions; but the ltroops under Major-General Bartley, consisting oftlie 18th ,aud part of the 49m regiments, were soon hotly engaged -, with a body of fi‘om 800 to 1,000 Tartars, who, titider cover ,‘of some enclosures, opened ‘\ destructive fire upon ottr men, i as they were filling round the walls. The leading division f oftlie 49th (lashed down the rampart on their left, While the . 18th pushed forward to turn their right; they were soon dis- l persed, although some of tlietn fought with great despera- ‘,tion. It afforded me much satisfaction to witness the spi- ,’ rited manner in which Major—General Bartley performed

heart'q‘ied that the General gave tip all hopes ofsucccssful jtllls duty, With a small force of exhausted uteri. The Ailuii- reSIstance. The Cotiimander oftlie garrison at Naiikin, it] i

‘i'al, who was moving with the marines oftlie Cornwallis along the line of the wall which had been cleared by the

.55th, hearing the heavy firing, with his usual anxiety to af-

ford assistance, llllf‘lllplcll to move across the city, and was strongly opposed at several points iii the streets where the 'I'artai's had collected.

The sun now became so overpowering, that it was impos- sible to move with men already fatigued by their exertions, and] regret to say that several died from the intense heat. We remained therefore iii occupation oftlie gates utitil six o’clock, when several parties were pushed into the Tartar city and to the public offices. The Tartar General’s house was harm; that oftlie Lieutenant—General (Hui), it appears, had been set {)1} fire by hisowu orders,atid be was destroyed iii it; his secretary, who was found the tiext morning by Mr. Morrison, principal Chinese interpreter, related this event, and pointed out the body of the unfortunate chief. Finding dead bodies of Tartars iii every house we entered, principally women and children, thrown into Wells,or other- wise murdered by their own pcople,l was glad to withdraw the troops from this frightful scene of destruction, and pla- ced them It] a comiiiaudiug position at the principal public offices iii the, northern quarter oftlie city. The following morning search was made for arms, ammunition, and trea- sure ; about 60,000 dollars’ worth of Sycee silver was found \in public offices, and all the arms and arsenals discovered were destroyed. -

It would appear that the Tartar soldiers did not calculate on the rapidity of otir movements, and considered the city ittipt'egt’iahle ; a great number oftbose who escaped our fire cotntiiitted suicide, after destroying their families; the loss oflife has been therefore appalling, and it may be said that the Matitchoo race in this city is extinct. Asiu all other places we have taken, the respectable inhabitants have fled, as well as the local authorities. The suburbs are larger than the city, which is about four miles iti circumference; plutiderers flocking in by hundreds from the country have joined the populace, and such is their sysieuiatic mode of proceeding, that it) one instance which came to my know— ledge. they set fire to both ends of a street in the western suburb, where there was a large pawubroker’s shop (tini— formly the first object of pillage,) iii order to check all inter— rtiptiou, while they carried ofi'their booty by the side lanes. 1 was most anxious to put a stop to these scenes of devas- tation, but it would not have been practicable iti so wide a labyriutli of streets and lattes, without constant harassing exposures to the troops, during the hottest season of the Iyear. Cholera has made its appearance; Ensign Weir, of the 49th Regiment, died this evening, and several men of the same corps have been attacked by the disease.
