COLONEL BOLE LET'S TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.—An
American paper states that Colonel Bulkley's telegraph
expedition has reached Behring's Straits, where the
telegraph will creel from America to Asia, and that the
Colonel had sounded across Behrines Straits to the St.
Lawrence Bay. The soundings were favourable all the
way scross the bottom being mud. Postage Bay pre-
sented a stied bottom and seemed suPable for laying the
cable, the Asiatic side being more mountainous than
that of the American. The country was entirely des-
titute of timber. The ground was thawed about 30
inches. The Indians on both sides were friendly and
promised to be useful. The Russians had done every-
thing possible to further the euterprise.
PROJECTED RECONSTRUCTION Or TER MAP OF EOROPIL
—The Emperor and Count Bismarck seem very polite
to each other, and on that basis the quid nwnes of Paris
have built a sapentruature of speculation. First of all
there io to be a strict Franco-Prus,ian alliance for
definite political objects. France is to aid Prussia in
realising her dream of German unity, the Holienzollerns
of course reline, and Austria beiog pushed into the
background. Then for this graciousness Franee is to
have Belgium, while—strangely enough to appease Eng-
land—Antwerp will be given to Holland. La France
of this evening (Nov. 16) contains an article directed
epinst these rumours. The writer says :—" Franco
does not seek any territorial aggrandisement. She has
no desire whatever to reconstruct the map of Europe;
but if other 00,4 Powers wish to overthrow for their
own profit the European balanoe of power, France would
bs oompelled to fortify her defensive positions, to take
'retentions vid secure her own safety while re-estab-
lishing an equilibrium which would restore to her those
guarantees the changes elsewhere might have des-
troyed."

STAIN'S ATTACK ON add. -It appears that on
Admiral Pareja's arrival at Valparaiso, he sent to the
Government of Chili, demanding that Chili should
humble herself, and salute the Spanish flag with 21
guns, after which he would state what satisfaction he
would wept "for the insults offered to Spain." The
Government would not accede. Admiral Pareja im-
mediately forwarded an ultimatum that hostile measures
would be adopted on the following day. The diplomatic
corps protested against such high.handed dealing. This
obtained a few hours' delay, but on the 24th ult. Penile
declared the blockade of all the Chilian ports. The
Congress in both houses unanimously mimed a desdars-
tion of wax with filmic. A loan of 20,000,000 dollars
was authorised, and unlimited power granted to the
Executive for raising troops and procuring ships, &a,
against the enemy. Men of all guides of opinion rallied
rouod the Administration with a determination that
Spain should not triump over Chili, It wag expected
that Pareja would bombard the coast towns. It is
hardly to be supposed that the maritime Pdwen repre-
sented on the Pacific Coast of South America will suffer
the Spanish Admiral to proceed to this last extremity.

THE NEGRO REVOLT IN JAMAICA.
LLTEST FASTIOULABIL
By the arrival of the West India mall we have re-
ceived details of the insurrection which broke out in
. that island, and is now suppressed. The outbreak 41,-
1 pears to have arisen from the arrest of a man who bad
=mitt= some local offence. The colonial pepen,
hoWever, say it bad been contemplated, and that this
rising was premature, the conspirators having intended
to:postpone it until Christmas Day, and then to have
.112 it general. Whether this be so or not, as a
er of fact, the rebellion was oonfined to one section
of the Wand. Paul Bogle, the rebel leader, and Gordon,
charged with being the instigator of the conspiracy, were
both apprehended. The latter =a tried by drum-
head °plot-Martial, condemned to death, and executed.
The.eridenes against him is said to have been the con-
tendons of captured negro= Be was • most respect-
able merchant of Kingston, and a member of the
Jsmnica Legislature. Gordon is said to have been the
lifp and soul of the movement. He was condemned to
death on the 21st October, and hanged on the 23rd. Be
was the original introducer to this island of the de-
, lifting mania styled by his deluded followers " The
Re vale," which spread among beings so excitable and
' =perfidious se =grew like sa epidemic. A cunning
hypocrite, he took the opportunity of inciting fanaticism,
end of using it for his own purposes. An oath was id-
ministered to the rebels, no awful that no one has yet
ventured to reveal its terms entirely, although every-
thing el-e readily. Secret societies were soon formed •
under his auspices by some intelligent but ambitions
men, among the Weak' ae unnornindous as himself, and
even private companies of " sham " volunteers —4l
black men—were formed and exercised with wooden
guns Ind swords. When thee matters were pointed to,
and attention celled to the danger, &cry was raised against
the presumed 'lanai= and it wee protested that the
lower classes wanted amusement, and were only indulg-
ing their love for imitatioo. Suspicion wis then allayed,
and a false security ioduued.
The head.quarters of the rebellion Were at Kingston.
• diatanoe of sixteen miles from the actual scene of the
c,uttoscak;xarid several persons suspected of • being fin-
pHosted hers been arrested in that town. Among these
were some Baptist and Wesleyan proachsra and the pro-
prietor and editor of a paw idled the Watchman.
About 40 royalist& appear in all le have been killed.
The rebels were, after the execution of one of. their
ringleaders, coming in, having thrown away their arms,
and seeking protection. They have been handed over
to the magistretes by the military authorities, who have
sot men enough to keep guard over them.
The Seer thus summaries and comments on eight
=loons of reports from the island :—We mama

• decisive judgment on this =bind, for the whole of
a e despatches are so =avoidably occupied with even a
elimmary of the shootings and hangings of rebels, that
there was probably neither time nor spaoe left for any
