Dawson, of Bradford, :1 report of their visit to Copenhagen, on bebalfof the persecuted religi- ous professors in D‘enuiark. Mr. Giles said it was generally known that the established Church in Denmark was the Lutheran, bllt tllere remained ill it little, next to nothing, ofthe faith and practice of Luther. The great body of the Lutheran clergy were, as they called themselves, Rationalists —people who reduced all they found, whether ill the word ofGod or out ofit, to what they considered the standard of human reason. The persons whom as Baptists they persecuted lbr differing liom Luther, differed tronihim in reality for less than they did themselves.

Armed with a letter from Lord Palmerston, the envoys departed, saw the King and the bishop, but returned re infects, us the brethren remain iii prison. Thanks were voted to the Kingr and the Queen of Dcnmark, for their politeness to the deputation, to Lord Palmerston, Mrs. Fry, and others.

The intelligence from China, which in our last came down to the 20th June, extends up to the present date to the 24th August. The last fliciculus is so recent that we. can look for little more before the middle of November. The truce, of which we formerly gave particulars, singu- larly enough, continued unhroken'li‘om the 27th of May to tlic‘24th‘ of August. The bulk of the Canton ransom money had been despatchcd by her Majesty’s ships Calliope and Conway, the former carrying two and a half millions of dol- lars to Calcutta, where she arrived in safety on the 5th of August, the latter being entrusted with two millions direct for England. It is said that the expense of transmitting this home in ‘specie, instead of by the usual method of re- mittance, will, besides the value of the vessel’s services, amount to £40,000. The Canton Press considers this a bit of patronage to give the son ill law of Sir G. Bl'cmer and the cousin ofLord Minto, the captains of the vessels, 8. piece of lucrative employment. Sir \V. Parker is under- stood to have been reatly incensedztliat two such vessels as the Conway & alliope should have been dispatched, when their services were so much wanted, the 32-pounder armament ofthe latter rendering her one of the most elli- cicnt ships ill the squadron—Bombay Times, Oct. 1. i

An inventory of the amount of property belonging to Keshcn, which has just been confiscated, has been pub- lished—its value exceeds tllrco millions of pounds sterling! '—mostly extracted in bribes from the Hong merchants, from opiuln speculations, and illegitimate imposts on trade. Tlle fortune of Koshen is one of many similar ones acqui- red by like infamous ineans. The exactions made on the Hong merchants for a third of the ransom of Canton, had interrupted the payment of the dividends which had for some time been in progress byinstalinents: so that, llll‘OUITll the medium of the llong debts due to them, a portion 6of the six millions ofdollars received by Captain Elliot was drawn from the pockets of his countrymen!

The following summary is collected from the Bombay Touch—By the steamer Atalanta, which reached Bombay on the 26th ultimo, intelligence was received ‘from Home Kong to the 24th August. The Sesostris, with the Planin- potentiary and Admiral on board, arrived off Macao on the 9th August, and anchored about four miles from the town. Notwithstanding a delay of two days at Singapore, where she tookdn 180 tons’ of miserable coal, she accomplished her voyage ill 23 days—being the most rapid on record. At six o’clock the following morning, the Nemesis was along side, with Captains Elliot and Nine, and Mr. Johnston, to welcome the Plenipotentiary. The Same day about two o’clock the Admiral sailed in the SeSOSlrlS for Huntr Kong for the purpose ofinspecting the condition of the fleciat, pre: paratory to an immediate start for the north. He again re- turned to Macao on the 12th, 'and went back to Hon" Kotw on the following day to hasten preparations, accoriipanicd by Sir H. Gougli. On the 13th, Major Malcolm was des- patched in the Nemesis to Canton with the announcement of the arrival of the new Plenipotentiary, and a copy of the demands of the British Government to be forwarded imme- diately to the Emperor. So soon as the arrival of the secre- tary Was made known to the Kwang-chow-foo, (the mayor of_Caiiton,) this high functidnary intimated his wish to re. ceive the despatch in person. The hall (now in ruins) of the Company’s factory was, as on former occasions, selected for the interview. The mayor came, attended by old How- qua and Neoqua; but though the former of thése is the well—known source of half the great movements iii Chin ' and the most profound politician perhaps within the em it: both Were ordered to retire previous to the cominenceii’ieni of business. The same ,day a notification was presented to each ofth'e merchants residing at Canton, intiinatinv that as hostilities would in all likelihood very shortly recoTnineiice in the north, they should keep themselves and their proper-

occasion to concern itsele The alteration was felt Home 1— ately in the change of conduct manifested towards the bug: lisli residents in Canton; the customary .insolcnce vanishe , and the studied rudeness experienced in passmg along the streets seemed at once exchanged for deference and res- pect. Here was indeed a change from men,. not measures _.for the powers and instructions under which Sly H. Pot- tinger act differ almost in nothing from those of Captain Elliot; the characters of the men are nearly as much dissi- milar as their powers are alike. The Mayor of Canton, on afterwards coming'on a mission to the Plenjpotentiary, was refused admittance, and handed over to Major Malcolm, the private secretary. _ This was it sad change of

Pottinger issued a notification, IlliOI‘llllllg'llle British merchants generally of his intentions, and warning tlieliito keep themselves out ofthe way of danger. 1? IS a WWW straight forward, manly doculiicnt, wherein things are for the first time since the connnenccment ofour operations called by their right names by ofiiiiials in England 01' Clum- Tlie war is a War, alid nothing but a wan—though bptu my Lord Palmerston and the other cx-mistnanagers of China affairs spoke as if it would have blistered tliclr tgligucs llitherto‘ to have said so. The truce with which Captain Elliot so unnecessarily tied our hands on the 27th May, has singularly enough, been maintained with a show at least ofa little good faith on the part of the Chinese ; and as long as this lasts Sir ll. Pottingcr very properly states that he will hold himself bound by the terms granted by his prede- ’cessor; but we hear no nonsense about “great respect for the Chinese, or scrupulous good faith ofillustrious llllel- duals :” the authorities are told at once that the slightest infraction of the truce will leadto a renewal of active hos- tilities within the provjnce; and that it is accordingly to be borne in mind, that such an event is not only highly proba- ble, “from the well—understood pcrfidy and bad faith of the provincial officers themselves, but also because they are compelled at any moment, by orders from the Ililperial Ca- binet, to set aside and disavow their own acts.” This'is speaking intelligibly and to the point; and, accordingly, the change of feeling produced amongst the officers of the‘cx- pedition seems to have been instantanious and almost nia- ical. Out"mercalitile correspondents write so cheerfully, and in such spirits, that it is (lifiicult to suppose the writers the same as those whose tone for these two years past has been so uniformly melancholy and despondinn‘. The Can— ton truce was apurely local one—affecting only the son- thern province, and accordingly, as preparations proceeded for moving towards the north, the terror of the southern ail- tliorities became extreme. Ten—some say twenty—mil- lions of dollars are believed to have been offered the Ple- nipotentiary to induce him to alter his purposes: but we had to malle War, not a bargain: and the consequences of British indignation were not now any longer to be bought off by Chinese bribes. Ill answer to the question as to the nature of the protection which would be afibrded to British life and property at Macao, and as to bow 1211' the Portu- guese Govcrliiricnt, in case of emergency, might be de- pended on—Sir 11. Pottinger referred to the statements in his oflicial notification: hinting "to them that Hong Kong was now, the proper place for British subjects to seek safe- ty, 'and that experience should have taught them how far Portuguese good faith was to be relied on: adding at the same time, that the same protection which was left for ves- sels in,tlle roads might, in case of emergency, be made available to the residents on shore. On the 2Ist, the fleet, consisting of nine ships of war, four armed steamers, and 22 transports, sailed northward for Amoy. Tlie admiral continues urgent for more river steamers; and the Medusa and Ariadne, of exactly the same armament with the Ne- mesis—that is traversing 32-pounders—left Bombay on the 29th ultimo. A strong force of~seven ships of war and one steamer, with troops and transports, remain for service at [long Kong and in Canton River; so that while our princi- pal consideration is directed to points further north, the people in the southern province will have no want of atten- tion, should their conduct require a little castigation—a contingency much more than probable. Tile land force mustered, in all, nearly 3,000 bayonets. The fleet of trans- ports amounted to 40.
