CANTON, 23rd January. From investigations I learn that the captive: pirates confessed to having been natives of Ma Ning, one of the ports newly opened to passenger traffic, and had been to Wuchow. It was arranged that ten confederates were to meet them at Kumchuk, and after leaving that port the steamer was to be held up. The only Europeans at Kumchuk are two Custom House officers. Great excitement prevailed among shore people as well as the passengers of the O Faf, and another boat, passing through Samshui some hours later, applied to Captain Webster. HMS.

It appears that the troops under the command of Major Liu landed at Teen Pak harbour on the 26th December and, after striking inland to effect a junction with the Imperial troops, quarcted ai Chi Yuen, where they were ambuscaded by the rebels at the Yong Ning pass. The troups carried a considerable amount of ammunition and mili.
