CHINA.

At Canton matters are getting worse and worse.
By the previous mail, intelligence went forward that
the Imperialists were in the ascendant, and that
the rebel cause was losing ground. Since then there
has been a reaction. The feeling against the Meat.
oboe dynasty has become pretty general throughout
the Chang-twig province, the people of which are
now in open revolt against the authority of the man-
darins. So great is the apprehension entertained at
Canton, that the wealthy Indies are again quitting
the city for Macao and this place, fearing that the
city will be carried and ransacked. The Barracouta,
war-steamer is at Canton, and Admiral Stirling,
is the Winchester, towed by the Styx, has pro-
ceeded to Whampos to afford protection to
British interests when the contemplated assault
of the place is carried into effect. Some crafty
American have canoed considerable annoyance
by hiring their vessel and themselves to the
belligerent parties, but the United States Minister
has interfered, and for the present stopped the move-
ment. In the present crisis it behoves foreigners to
bold a strict neutrality, for by doing so the struggle
will terminate most favourably to the interests of
foreign trade.
From Shanghai we have no news of weight to re-
port. The city is still in the hands of the insurgents.
Prom Pekin we have no further news.

Sir John Bowring will shortly proceed on him diplo-
natio visit to Siam.
