A C ts passed during the session will be f nd in our columns to-daV. The Bill to re- f "m the Penal Code, and the" Act to legalize the Proceedings of the courts in this state, occ. have passed both branches of the legislature. ENGLISH EMBASSY TO CHINA. The Prince of Wales Island Gazette, of June co states, that lord Amherst, the ambassador to China, was expected to touch there shortly, on his way to Canton.-. The object of this diplo matic mission, the English take some pains to conceal—were credit due the ministerial papers, nothin" farther would seem to be contemplated hy it, tlian a mere interchange of civilities w ith the imperial sovereign of China; but scanty'as are the means of obtaining correct information with regard to tlie internal state of that coun try. enough has transpired to convince us, that the' ancient edifice of Chinese polity is crumb ling into ruins—its very basis quaking to the undulations of anarchy and rebellion. Ever since the time when De jGama doubled the Cape of Good i/ope, the policy of Europe an nations has, in similar ihstances, been uni form in every quarter of the glohe. The Span iards in America, profiting by the internal dis sections of Mexico, deposed its monarch and founded an empire; in a condition somewhat analogous, Pizzaru entered Peru, and met with the like success; the Portuguese, under the guise of friendship, introduced themselves into the east, and established their power when intes tine discord had relaxed the nerves of Hindu stan. So have the Dutch and Punch, succes sively, obtained footing in that devoted country; but the English have reaped the most benefits from the principle and given it the widest scope. By clothing their spies in the sacred habiliments 6f ambassadors, the resources of the countries have been ascertained, and dissentions sown among the native princes, who usually embraced the overtures,of England to dethrone their sup positious rivals. When this was accomplished, they found themselves alone, unsupported, at the mercy of their victorious allies, and necessitated to accede to any stipulation proposed. In this manner, Britain has extended her con quests from Cape Comorinlu the south, to the Hirti 'iala mountains in thS north, and to the tributaries of China in the east; but still her thirst of dominion is insatiated, Her avaricious breast sighs for the riches of China, and the pre paratory measures for fulfilling her desires have been taken. Knowing the weakness of the Chi nese marine, the Malayan pirates have been congregated at the Ladrcue islands, and let loose upon the defenceless shores of southern China; with the malcontents of which a good understanding exists and arms and ammuni tion supplied them. Tire coasting'trade thus iutev- cepted, and a spirit of insurrection excited, the emperor has been reduced to the necessity of supplicating, it is said, the English to suppress these marauders. This service, no doubt, will be performed oniv on the condition of ceding a permanent settlement in some part of his domi nions, eligible for the furtherance of that pow er’s private purposes; and, pressed as he is by foreign and domestic enemies, no remedy is left him b’ ‘ that of sacrificing the ancient and re strict! e policy of his country tb the exigencies of the rimes; In he mean while embassy w ill follow embas sy until no part of his territory will have bee a left unexplored. Under the pretext of converting his idolatrous subjects ? hosts of mis sionaries w ill be irffmead over ins dominions, between whom and the English establishment a regular correspondence will, of course, be kept up. His already rebellious vassals will bb ex cited to persevferein their opposition,'and when the fermentation becomes general, swarms of English sepoys will he poured into his western and southern provinces, and perhaps a descent made by Europeuu troops at the head of the Sea of Wang Jlci and marched upon Pekin.— The consequences may easil y be foretold—the total overthrow of the" Chinese empire, and the subjection of the disciples of Confucius and the worshippers of Po to the same rigorous bondage in which the children of lirarno. are now ing.

Faber, have been is- wied from that Bank, and that, consequently, all Bills of that description must be counterfeits. It may also not be amiss to mention, that all the old impression of Five Dohars of that bank were called in, tlctober, 1815, and •rrew emission of a different plate issued. The bank used every diligence to detect the counterfeiters of bills, and a reward of 500 dollars was paid’by them » person in Augusta, Whose evidence convicted one of V; Cul l’ m « at Watrenton, Georgia.

Since the sailing of those shtps from this port" for India our government has levied a duty on goods generally from India, equal to ninety per cent, which is regarded equal to a prohibition for the future, and from which those valuable cargoes are exempt, in consequence of the ships havmg departed the United States previous to the passage of the law.—PhiUuklphia Freeman’s Journal. — > It is said that AVtixtam Ghat, the wealthy merchant declines serving as a director of the Branch Bink of the United State-sat Boston.

The confession, thus insidiously oh ained, is made use of to procure the coiitiscuikm of the' vessels, fra violation cf the navigation laws. “And so that wrap it Uii.”—Providence Patriot. .

From his exemplary life, and fervent piety in the moment of dissolution, there is every reason to hope he has quit this “vale of tears,” for a world ot unspeakable joy.
