PROGRESS OF THE REBELLION.

The Pekin Gazette of the 3d of August contains
a report from Toh-wing-a, Se-ling-a, and Sheu-luh,
detailing various successes over the rebels at K'hae-
fung-foo. When the insurgents fled from K'hae-
fung, they were pursued by the eavary under the
two first-named officers, who caught and decapi-
tated a great number. On the Ist of July they
pursued them to Sze-shwuy, when the rebels made
for the fords of the Yellow River, and attacked the
Imperialists on the east and west of a double hill,
found there ; in the battle that ensued the Impe-
rialists killed 300 of the enemy, who, being re-
duced to extremity, sought to get on board
their vessels, when a north-westerly wind arose
and prevented their getting under weigh ; where-
upon the Imperialists opened a fire upon them, and
killed the whole of them, a large number having been
driven into the water. After this 13 of the enemy's
vessels were burnt, and a large quantity of military
stores taken, together with 50 prisoners, among the
rest 4 chiefs, wearingyellow jackets and red caps, who
were immediately beheaded. At this time Shen-
luh came up with the infantry, and killed 200
more. On the 2d of July the rebels again ad-
vanced from the double hill to the attack, when
the Imperialists killed 100 more, and captured a
score, while they destroyed three of the enemy's
vessels and burnt ten. The Emperor, on hearing
this, says that, as the thieves are now reduced to
the last extremity, especial care must be taken to
exterminate them, and particularly to prevent
their seizing vessels and crossing the Yellow River.
They must also not be allowed to make themselves
masters of its banks. The Emperor comforts him-
self with the idea that two Tartar generals, with a
large force, are on the march to the north bank of
the Yellow River, where they will give the rebels
a warm reception. He further orders the civil and
military officers in charge of K'hae-fung to exert
themselves immediately to exterminate the rebels
on the south side of the river, and then, says he,
we have no doubt but that this insignificant band
of robbers will, without difficulty, be swept away
from the face of the earth.
The Gazette, of the 9th August, gives the details
of an unsuccessful attack on Yang-chow, reported
by K'e-shen. The assigned cause of its failure was
the want of co-operation on the part of others.
That officer has made repeated assaults, and
directed Shwang-lae to bombard the city wall with
his largest cannon. On Ist August an opportunity
presented itself, and Shwang-lae passed the stream
on wooden rafts. Planting his soldiers, his forces-
ascended the walls. With him were troops from
yeeitmhyill.ea-nlTes. Thhe rebels opened a cannonade

from towers on the wall, and set on fire some
wooden houses beneath. The flames burning
fiercely, our soldiers could do nothing. General
Shwang-lae lost two teeth. by a gun-shot, which
struck his left jaw. Chin-kin-show, with a part
of his troops, mounted the walls with ladders, but
the greater part of the army did not respond to the
shouts for aid, and those on the wall were obliged
to descend again. The Emperor praises Shwang-
lae as having acted in the bravest manner. It was
through the failure of the troops on the western
side to arrive in time that Yang-chow was not re-
captured. Ch'in-kin-chow is deprived of his rank
for his want of generalship. K'e-shen is also de-
prived of his office, but retained to discharge its
duties. _ _ _ _

A dispatch has also been received from Toh-
ming-a, and Shen-luh, detailing a succession of
victories by them in Honan. The rebels in pos-
session of Sze-shwuy (a district city 60 or 70 Eng-
lish miles to the west of K'ae-fung, further up the
Yellow River) planted artillery within the walls
to defend themselves. The generals already named
advanced to attack them on the 2d August, in
several divisions, partly Tartar and partly Chinese.
The rebels seeing the danger to be feared from the
cannon and musketry, attempted to escape by the
east gate. On this, the Manchus from Meih-yun,
near Feking, opened a rapid are, and, making
