They cannot, moreover, get in their debts, as the government will afford no assistance towards recovering them; which, by the 5th article of the Treaty of 1826, so far as regards British subjects, they are bound to give.-Singapore Free Press, Aug. 27. China. The blockade of Canton has been established, but the trade of the Portuguese settlement of Macao is not interfered with; and as the British merchants formerly of Canton are established there, and the smuggling of opium continues with unabated activity and success on the coast, at the islands, and outside at the anchorage, there is no effectual interruption to British commerce in China.-Calcutta Englishman, Oct. 16.
