OPERATIONS OF THE ALLIES.-THE
ATTACK ON SHANGHAI BY THE

REBELS.
The overland mail brings advices from Hong
Kong to August 26th. The news from the
allied expeditionary force is to the 13th.
The entrenched Tartar camp between Pehtang
and the Taku forts was carried by the allied
forces on the 12th, and the attack on the forts
themselves had commenced. On the 18th August
the Taeping rebels appeared before Shanghai and
attacked the south gate. A party of French,
stationed there, played on them with artillery,
and drove them back with some loss. During the
night they remained quiet, but on the following
morning were quietly assembling on the border
of the foreign settlement when they were again
dispersed by the French with further loss. As a
measure of precaution and defence the adjoining
suburb was then fired and completely destroyed.
Accounts of the ulterior proceedings of the
attacking forces are anxiously looked for.
Business was completely stopped, and immense
damage has been inflicted on the surrounding
country by the rebels, who butchered the inhabi-
tants and burnt every house and village all round
the city. A large quantity of silk had reached.

quent supply was expected to be seriously dimi-
nished.

Nantsin, in the centre of the silk districts, are
confirmed.

vails among the Chinese. Foochow busy and
tranquil; Swatow calln but troubles may arise at

must now be declared.
