Although not how news, jet, us the account may still be Intel eating to vouie of our reudera, we have concluded to publish it. IKroui our Liverpool Correspondent ] t Lniweot, Nov. U5:h, 1842. I '-V- adianU|;t ot the sailing ol Ilia (leorie YV ashingIon, tins day, tu write an abstract ot the very iui|iortaot news just received from ( lima and India, in tbe hope that it may anticipate tbe Halifax and Boston steam-packet of tbe 4tb of December.? I may add, thut in future, I sbull write occasionally by llie sailing line packets to New York as well at by tbe sleuiuers. Tbe letters by the latter will, i ccurie, be fuller lu detail tbun those by the liners. Chins. On Monday ufternoou, (Nov. Ill,) tbe public in Condon, Liverpool, and all places wbere tbe I.ondon morning pupcis of that day were received and read, were startled, by the announcement in thcin nil, that the China war wus over, that tbe British bad compelled tba Kmperor of China to sign a peace, on favorable terms, and that tbe British were fully triumphant. This intelligence bud been derived from the Paris Mcssager, of Saturday last, to which paper it was coiuuiuuicated by tbe Government, no doubt, an it was received at tbe Tuilleries by telegraphic despatch dated Alexandria, Nov. 5. The announcement came unexpecledlyon tbe public in this country. The commercial m teres is were moved particularly by it, us to money payments, I which it wus said the Chinese would have tu make, j would probubly include payment for tbe opium destroyed at Canton during the unfortunate regime of Capt. Elliot. The holders of tea were thunderstruck, as the conclusion of the war would necessarily lower the price of that commodity?the immediate ell'eel was the iioHlpoiifiiieiil of ilie public sale of tea announced lor that duy. The merchants, generally were pleased, as it must give stimulus to business in the manufacturing districts. The demand fur British manufactures in China being expected to become very considerable. The next day.(Tuesday, Nov. 22,) the news from China was continued by the arrival of an extraordinary overland mail from India, which, as you shall Jre.senil) learn 111 detail, also brought import nt news : rum India. 1 cannot do better than give you, in Sir' Henry Pottinger's own words, an accouut of the1 terms u"J>on which, on the 20th of August, he concluded and signed a treaty with the Chinese High Commissioners, a Treaty of Alliunce. 1. Lasting peace and friendship bctaeen the two empires. 3. China to pay twenty-one millions of dullurs in the course of the present and three succeeding years. 3. The ports of Canton, Amoy, Eoo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Bhanghue, to be thrown open to llritish merchants, consular officers, to be appointed io reside at them, and regular and just tariffs of import and export (as well as inland transit) duties to be established and published. 4. The island of Hong Kong to be ceded in per- j petuity to her Britannic Majesty, her heirs and successors. 5. All subjects of her Britannic Majesty, (whether natives of Europe or India,) who may be confined in any part of the Chinese empire to be unconditionally released. 6. An act of full and entire amnesty to be publish- I ed by the Emperor under his imperial Sign Manual | and Seal to all Chinese subjects, on account of their having held service or intercourse with, or resided under the British Government or its officers. 7. Correspondence to be conducted on terms of perfect equality amongst the officers of both Governments. 8. On the Emperor's assent being received to this treaty, and the payment of the first instalment, six millions of dollars, her Britannic Majesty's forces to retire from Nankin anil the Grand ('anal, and the military posts at Chinhai to be also withdrawn, but the islands of Chusan and Kolansoo are to be held until the money payments and the arraugemcnts for opening the ports be completed. Now for a brief, but accurate and comprehensive narrative of the manner in w hich this result has been arrived at My last letter informed you that considerable re- 1 from the riser, with access to it by canal* Accordingly, this was done on August fill' The fleet arrived as rloae to Nanking ?? it could he takrn A stiong force, under Lord Saltoun, ?? landed west of the city and operate n? were ahout licing commenced, when Sir II Pottinger received a letter re-' questing a truce, a* High Commissioner*, nominated by the Kinperor with hill power to treat, were on their way. The attark wat deferred, and on August 15th, the commissioners arrived, viz : 1. Kee Ying, ot the Royal family and commanderin-chief of the Tartar troops in Kuang Sung 2. Wee poo, Liutenant-Grnrral of Hha|*>o, former ly Governor of Chekeang, but degraded for liberating the prisoner* last year 3. Onu, General of the two provinces, Keeangsoo and Kecsng-see. A great deal of negotiation ensued, and, on August 29lh, Sir Henry lottingcr and the three Chinese commissioner* publicly signed the treaty on board the Cornwallit. It was immediately transmitted to the Kmperor for ratification and eiported bark about s September fllh. Major Malcolm would convey it to Kngland vja Suez. The terms, which will be found st the commencement of this letter, are considered inforcements had arrived at Hour Kong, which so far strengthened the British forces employed against China, that Sir llenry Potlinger considered himself justified in sending a very strong expedition, naval and military, into liie river Yang-Uze-Keung, with the view of attacking the city of Nankin, the second city in the empire, and the first in point of commercial importance. By the occupation of Nankin, two thin** were contemplated?the striking terror hy such a feat of arms, and the cutting oil all supplies to the North, which arrive at Pekin by the Grand Canal from Nankin, so as to starve out the capital. The expedition advanced up the river Vang-tszcKeang, and, on July 14th, the first fire was opened. On a range of hills commanding thr stream, two mall Chinese batteries, of 13 guns, opened fire on , the British slops, tvtit were immediately silenced, and a party landed who destroyed them. The fleet then pushed on, and, on July 20lh, the whole armament, roiisisting of seventy sail of vessels, had anchored at Kinshan, on the Golden Island, abreast oi the city of Ohin-Krang-foo, where the Chinese had a strong army, of aliout 3,000 men, encamped on hills overhanging the river, at about three miles distance Three brigades, in July 91, landed and marched against the foe Lord Haltoun headed that against the camp ; General Hartley's brigade had to act between the city and the camp, so us to prevent fugitives reaching the city from the camp; and General Schesdde, who landed on the r.vcr side of ttits city, opposite the fleet, had to escalade the northern wall. Barlley'u brigade being directed to attack the city on the south, after it had executed its first duties The soldiers in the ( hinese camp did not wait to 1 .1 L..I k..< 11...I I) ..... . ..I....I I.,... O..I the Tartar garrison intended defending the city, for they opernu from the walls thereof a wary and incessant fire of eantioo, jingalls-w all-pieres, rtiekets, and matchlock*. Hchesddr's troop* escaladed the northern wall, but the Tartar troo|o gallantly resitted, disputing the ground, inch by inch, and adroitly availing themselves of the knowledge of the localities to gall the British troops and fcrcrri themselse*. The brigade of (ieneral B .rtley entered the city by blowing up one of the gales, but though their forre was a great addition to that under General Scbrtdde, which had also hern reinforced by large detachments of marine* and sailor*. The Tartars fought on for many hours,?until dusk, iri fact,?and at last either ipiitted the city, or, throwing off their military costume, mingled with the inhabitants. The city of Chin-Keang-foo, thus captured, is more than four miles in circumference, and so strongly fortified that none but cannon-shot could have mode an impression upon the solid parapet. The garrison consisted of JOOO Tartars, of w hom fully a third were killed.? Hir Henry Poltinger adds: "The Tartar (ieneral Commander-in-Chief retired to his residence when he saw all was lost, made his servants set it on fire, and sat on his chair till he was burnt to death. His privite secretary was found the day nftcr tlis assault hidden in a garden, and on heing carried to the spot, recognised the I alf-coustiined remains of Ins master, who was worthy of such a death " I s ipp >se he did this to avoid lieing sawed alive between two plunks, which is understo >d to be the punishment of ( hinese officers who happen to lie defeated by an enemy.

The opium claim* will be paid out of the '11 million* of dollars , but not at hlliol's valuation, which is considered too high. To obtain the early I surrender of Koolong-?oo and Chuaaii, it w js thought the Kmperor would pay the indemnity money w ith as little delay possible. I'l lvalt letters say that 1U | millions ol' dollars hud actually been paid, but this I j doubt. They also say that the British are to have an i ambassador readout at Pekin. Three or lour British regiments and several men of wur will, henceforth be stationed ill ('lima, i Suppose that, after all, the Kmperor should not ratify the treaty.
