The foreign news possesses considerable interest.
In the first place, the French telegraph announces the arrival at Mar- seilles of the overland Indian mail, which bears intelligence from Bom- bay to the 19th June, with the startling intimation that there is no news from China. It can hardly be said, in the posture of affairs at Canton described by the last advices, that " no news is good news." Thus two months have elapsed without any fresh accounts to relieve the anxiety which the last inspired. Sir Gordon Bremer had left Calcutta, where he had remained several weeks, with reinforcements for China.
