‘ NEW YORK,--Nov.-¥9-l... . _.... ARRIVAL or ran arenas wmeug,

This noble steamer, under the command of: Capt. Hoskin, left. the Kingsroad, Bristol, at 4 o’clock on the afternoon of the 7th inst. She brings thirty-two passengers, among them an. ambassador from the German Court. The cargo; consists of silks and manufactured goods; she‘ has also about $60,000 in specie for one of the banks in this city. _

By her we have received Bristol papers of the 7th, Liverpool of the 0th, London of the 6th, and Paris of - the 4th instant. The news is both important and interesting. e have no room, however, for any remarks oflength, at this time. The speech of the King ofthe French, will be read with interest.

The Queen, with Prince Albert, was still taking the air in the Park of Windsor. Her Majesty has “ expressed the greatest anxiety to be domiciled in town before the end of the month, in view ofa forth-coming important event.”

The London Herald of the 6th publishes letters from Constantinople ofthe 13th and 14th, and a letter from Smyrna of the 12th, by which we are informed that the Anglo-Austrian Turks have been most sncCessful in Syria. Ibrahim Pacha has been compelled to retreat, in conse~ quence of the defeat of Osman Pacha.

Emir Bechir arrived at'Malta, concluded on the 5th a convention with the Seraskier Izzet and Admiral Stopford, by which he abandoned the cause of Mehemet Ali, and passed with his family and retainers to the service ofthe Sultan. The Emir placed two of his sons as hostages in the hands of the Turkish General, and then he received a promise that the command of the

’mountains would be restored to him when the

war was at an end. The greater part ofSyria may be said to have passed from the hands of Me- hemet Ali, at least all the north of Lebanon with the exception of Tripoli.

The Sultan is making great preparations to prosecute the war with vigour. He . has sent 5,000 more troops, and as many muskets to Syria, and the English frigate the Talbot, and the Austrian brig Montecuculi have been placed at his disposition for that purpose. A postscript to one of these letters mentions the report of St. Jean D’Acre having been taken by the Allies, but this report the editors of the Herald believe to be premature. , '

With regard to the Syrian news, the Bristol Mercury of the 7th publishes the following para- graph: . '

The news from Syria” is of the mOst favorable character. Ibrahim Pacha has been completely beaten in a pitched battle; the Emir Bechir has capitulated, and is at Malta; the Libanus is in a complete state of insurrection; Ibrahim “is straitened in every direction, and, it is thought, will speedily be obliged to evacuate the whole of Syria LBt. Jean d'Acre is besieged. This news, so'pnfavourable to the hopes ,and' wishes of the Enrich, caused rather a rise than a decline in the fluids at theiBourse, as those decisive. events were thought likely to facilitate an ar- rangement, without an appeal to arms.

The Morning Post has just published, .in a secondedition, the subjoined copy of the speech oins Majesty King Louis Philippe, on opening the French Chambers yesterday. “It has reali- zed our most sanguine expectations. It is firm in its tone, as it ought to be—it breathes‘a parental solicitude for the honour and dignity of

rance—it alludes to sacrifices made to uphold that honour and dignity in the face of Europe—— and it expresses a willingness to make as many more as may be ,required, for that purpose; but it is at the same time decidedly pacific—No ofi'ensive allusion is made to the conduct of the Four Powers, nor does the King take it for granted that any acts which may have simpdy for their 'object the restoration of Syria to t e Porto, can constitute grounds for disturbing the peace of Europe. I

The references to the present condition of Spain betray the anxiety of the French Govern- ment as to the permanence of the throne of Queen Isabella II. The greatest danger to that throne will be interference on the part of France to uphold it.

But from the whole tenor of the speech it is clear thatthe King and the Government enter- tain much stronger fears of the Anarchists and Revolutionists at home than of the Four powers. It is against the machinations of these disiurbers of the tranquillity of France that the Royal menaces are especially directed. And recent events have sufficiently proved that to preserve order in France, strong measures must be taken to put down thenraving Anarchists.

'rnn line's srsncn. “ Gentlemen, Peers and Deputies ;

“I have felt the necessity of assembling you round me before the ordinary period of the convocation or the chambers. The measures which the ror of Austria, the Queen of Great Britain, the ing of M and the Emperor of Russia have taken in concert, to regulate the relations between the Sultan'and _Pacha of Egypt, have im sed serious duties umjne. I have the dignity 0 our country at heart as much as its security and repose. In persevering in‘this moderate and conciliatory policy, of which We have reaped‘the fruit for the last ten years, I have placed France in a position to face the chances which the course of events in the East may produce. The extraordinary credits which have been opened with this intention will besubmittedto you, and you will appreciate the motives of them. ‘

“I continue to hope that the general peace will notbe disturbed. It is necessary for the general common interests of Europe, the happiness ofits population, and the progress of civilization. I

d upon you to assist me to maintain it,” I s ould rel upon it, if the honor of France, and the rank w 'ch she holds among nations,'com- mended us to make new etforts.

IMPORTANT FROM CHINA. I By the ship Isaac M‘Kim, Capt. West, which arrived here yesterday in 104 daysjfr‘ofCanton,

learn that part of the British naval rce from India reached the Celestial Empire on the 9th of

i ‘ that month, and that a regular Blockade ofthe

river and port was notified, to take effect on the 28th, by the commander ofthe Wellesley, Sir J. Gordon Bremer, who is senior officer the arrival of Admiral Elliot. {

The fleet had but 5000 troops on board, and the Chinese “made fun” at the idea that such a force could do aught against their amediluvian empire. They made an attempt to destroy the British sailors by means of' a cargo of poisoned tea, packed in small parcels, but on its way, it was captured by pirates and sold tothepeople on the coast, several of whom suffered death there- by. ' .

On the arrival ofthe British force, the Chinese made a desperately ridiculous attempt to burn the vessels by sending in among 'them eighteen fire rafts constructed of old outside fishing boats and some cargo boats, chained together two and two and filled with combustible matter of all descrip~ tions. They were set adrift before the wind and tide, but before they could do any damage, the sailors from the squadron took possession and towed them ashore. >

On the 25th June, the greater part of the Bri- tish fleet and transports sailed " to the north,” as was supposed, for the Yellow Sea. The Americans were all preparing to_ leave ' Canton. Foreign ships would be allowed to depart unless detained by the Chinese.

A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, under date of the 22d ofJune, says—“ Nothing is known of the intentions of‘the English govern» ineni, but it is conjectured that Canton will not be attacked ; that the Bogus forts will be taken possession of, and the river blockaded fend the force will then move immediately to the north. If they go to Pekin at once, they will be unsuc- cessful : the probability is, that they will take possession of Chusan; or some similar position, and operate from thence on such points as seem to. offer the best chance ofdistressing the Chinese Without great loss of life. These probably are the mouths ofthe great rivers, and particularly the junction of the grand canal with them. There are parties who believe this will be soili- cient; but to me it seems wholly inadequate to the end proposed; which, as I have often written, is virtually to revolutionize this immense empire. such a result may be brought about, but only I think bya system of intimidation, and such a show offorce as shall convince the Chinese that reststance is wholly useless. This may be effected Without difficulty, by a resolute power; for the greatcities of China, on the coast, are wholly defenceless; their forts every where dilapidated, and their arms, matchlocks and bows and arrows! But the fear is, that the English will be conten- ted with too little, and that they will not take proper steps to secure evan this permanentlv; but a few days may enable us to form a better opinion ofwhat is to be done hereabouts.

The news it brings, however, cannot be of much importance. I‘he stochof tea is exhausted, and but little Nankin Silk remains. After all, the export of tea to England will exceed thirty million pounds! ten millions more than was confidently predicted. We think there .is every reason to anticipate a long inter- rupiion in the trade, from six to eighteen months, (and it appears to us that parties With you Will be safe in acting on this calculation.) The opi- um trade. the cause -of our present troubles proximately, so far from being checked. by the measures of Lin, was never more flourishing. ’

It was reported that an edict has been publish- ed, ofi'ering rewards for Captain Elliot and the rest ofthe English, dead or alive.

SATURDJQY, DECEMBER 12, 1840.

The Courier, with last week’s mail, was detained on the other side until Tuesday, having been pre- vented from crossing sooner by the quantity of soft loose ice in the strait. This week’s mail has not yet come in, and in the present state of the strait, it is uncertain when it may arrive.

A. mail from Pictou, by way of Georgetown, was received on Thursday, bringing several Colonial

pppers which had been forwarded to the former p ace.

The Great Western, steamship, arrived at New York, from Bristol, on the 24th ulL, bringing Eng- lish dates to the 7th. The New York papers furnish copious extracts, which we have transferred into our columns. '

News had been received of the arrival of part of the British squadron, with about 5,000 troops, in the Chinese waters. The greater part of {he men-of- war and the" transports proceeded to the northward on the 23d of June, leaving only a few vessels to en- force the blockade of Canton. Admiral Elliot, with the heavy ships, was daily looked for. It is conjec- tured that Canton will not be attached, but that the Bogus forts would be taken possession of, and the river blockaded. An interruption of several months in the Tea. trade was calculated upon.

Ceneral Harrison'has been elected President of the United States for the ensuing four years, by a large majority over Mr. Van Buren, the late President.
