THE RUSSIAN DESPATCH FROM

CHINA.

The St. Petersburg Gazette of the 9th (21st) Aug.
publishes the following :
On the 7th (19th) August arrived at St. Peters-
burg, from whence he proceeded immediately to
Peterhof, Lieutenant-Colonel Martynow, sent as
courtier by Count Poutiatine, and who completed
his journey in 50 days from Tien-tsin, across the
northern portion of China, Mongolia, and the
whole of Siberia. He is the bearer of the news of

the cessation of the military operations of the allied
Anglo-French armies, and of the conclusion of
treaties of peace with China. Russia signed a treaty
with that Power on the June, and it was followed
by a similar step on the part of the United States of
America. France and England signed their treaties
some days later. The Chinese Empire is thus open
to Europe, to her commerce, her civilisation, and to
1 the free exercise of the Christian religion, &c.

" The previous treaty concluded by Aide-de-
Camp General Mouraview, and signed the May at
Aihun, had already fixed our frontiers with China,
leaving the left bank of the Amour in the possession
of Russia."

INDIA AND CHINA.

OFFICIAL DESPATCH.

The following telegram from Acting Consul-
General Green was received at the Foreign-office
this morning at 12.30 :

CORFU, AUG. 27, 7.20 p.m.

ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 24, 1858. —The steamer 1
Indostan arrived at Suez, from Alexandria, on
22d inst. She left Calcutta on the 19th of July, and
the delay has been caused by an accident to her
machinery while in the Red Sea. The steamer
Cadiz arrived at Suez yesterday from Bombay, with
dates from Bombay to 4th inst.; nothing of im-
portance has occurred since the last mail. The
British troops are chiefly engaged in harassing the
rebels in Oude, wherever they can find them, and
in reducing their mud fortifications.
Many of the chiefs, who have not irredeemably
compromised themselves in the revolt, are surren-
dering to the authorities ; others who have been
faithful to the British flag are being honoured and
rewarded. Rebels proved to have been deeply im-
plicated are being executed.
