We bear that a fast-sailing vessel, of between three and
four hundred tons burden, named the Mor, is about to be sent out to Canton with orders from the British Government in relation to the misunderstand- ings which have sprung up between time Chinese authorities and Captain Elliott. It seems to be understood that Lord Palmerston so far supports the views of the latter, as to have expressed a very distinct wish that no further dealings should take place between the two nations, otherwise than upon the most clearly-defined principles. The Chinese are so little to be found fault with its the stand they have taken against the controband traffic inn opium, that concussion on their part is not to be expected; and tine trade are consequently prepared for a continuance of the existing difficult:: and suspension of all intercourse for several months to come.—eliurniny Poet.
