A British force of 1000 troops plus ships attacked forts along the Canton river, capturing seventeen batteries and spiking 879 guns without British deaths. Chinese forces offered little resistance, with heavy British restraint noted at Whampoa. The action contrasts with French Cochin China clashes and hints at strained China relations.
