The advices from Hong Kong, China, are to the

lutionists; also, that the Chinese authorities IN
their extremity, had applied to the British officials
for aid In quelling the Instruction. Quite panic
prevailed at Shanghai, though all remained quiet
at Canton.
Such is the news received by way Of England
| Com. AULIcK, however, who sailed from China a
fortnight earlier than the above dates discreds the
report that the Emperor of China had applied to
the British for assistance, as his hatred to that
people has never been intermitted. The Commo-
dore further thinks, that if assistance we're applied
for would not be given, the foreigners in China
are unitedly in favor of the success of the rebels
The present Emperor has, Che says,) by his sensu-
atty and his addiction to opium, alenated from
himself the esteem of his people, and that he and
his corrupt Cabinet untitled 10 comprehend and
deal with the present enlarged demands of com
merce. The Commodore considers also, that all
the assistance which could be now given in aid of
the existing Government would be of no service in
determining the issue of the war that the triumphs
of the rebels consist in an inland progress tow ards
Pekn, which in no way be affected by the
operations of a naval squadron; that the war
vessels of any nation on the station not more
than sufficient to protect its own interests and,
finally that more is to be hoped for, commercially
a,l ,nolit fba &C
than by the continuance of the reigning dynasty.

On Tuesday night, the North Shore Mill on the banks
