The latest dates from Canton, bring


fhe Intelligence, that Mr.. Cushing was
daily expect TO arrive. Instructions had
been forwarded from this government TO
Mr.. Forbes, consul at Canton, TO as
certain from the Chinese high officers,
whether Mr.. Cushing would be receiv
ed at the Capital. Our consul having
obtained ali interview, with koying, the
Imperial Commissioner, presented his
credentials as consul, and being recog
nzed as such, he made known 10 the
Commissioner, the wishes Of our govern
ment, and inquired sin what way our
Minister should proceed TO Pekin, wheth-
er by land or water" The Chinese
Commissioner and suite, were much as
fonished to learn the destination Of Mr..
Cushing, aud plainly intimated that his
wishes could not be complied with, The
ccIestials say, in reference TO the COM
mercial treaty with England, that every
thing has been settled, aud there is 10
further need for commercial treaties.
So our Minister TO the celestial empire,
not being allowed to present his creden-
tiais, is not likely TO cover himself with
diplomatic honors, the present mis-
sion.
