CHINA AM) THE INDIAN
ARCHIPELAGO.

The Or rtand Friend ,f China, in its summary,

saes :
Our monthly summary for Iheernlwr commenced with an
amenity. ment •• that disturbances in the levrangtung and
wate-i province. were said to he at an end." In our last
()sr rlaml i..uv we reiteratt .1 this statement, but WI both
OreAsiolla it appears that, in COll4lllOll with many others, we
were. through the ',heating policy of the provincial
government. altogi thee iuisinfuclued. The (LIMO!.
&aces are not at an end. hut, on the contrary, are
raging, anal have continued to rage, with aggro-
Tined ficreenms. At a distance, as the crow would
try, barely sixty miles rearm Canton. the insurgents
are now 'ennobled in great foree—thi ir avowed object the
upeetting of the present dynasty. This information we
have oat the very beat authority. TO ouch extremes have
they carried their determination that they have returned
to the old Chinese practice of dispensing with the queu—
this, in reality. is equivalent to drawing the sword and
dinging away the scabbard.
The COMMialienef appointed to the task of inquiring
into the state of the disturbed provinces, instead of send-
ing the liovernor of kwangsi. in chains to Peking, as
was expected, has, on hearing the evidence fur and
sizing him, forwarded a memorial to 1114 Emperor,
in which the whole blame is thrown spat Bela for his
tardiness in rendering the required support. whereby the
rebellion Am now attained such a beat limit lb Imperial
Najesity'e continued possession of the ammo is quite a
matter of uncertainty. The governor has saw Ma tsar
months absent from Canton, and doubtless it is, threw\
the system of espionage and denouncement which be his
set as foot, that the real situation of *fain has been
hitherto successfully withheld from studious inquirer.
By a circumstance which has transpired during dm
month, British relations with China have become involved
in each a way that only one course Can apparently extricate
then—war. The circumstance we allude to is the=
of award of honour, to the Chinese Chui-Apoo,
by or government, to that of China, as the murderer, in
February, 1849, of Captain Ds Costa sad Lieutenant
Dwyer.
