GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
News from the Eastern difficulties hes

which appeared to possess reasonable
share of authenticity.

that an armstice between the Russian

on. for an indefinite period; and this
news caused material advance in
French and English funds.
Another dispatch states that salts

by the Gear; and that the armlsice had
been agreed on TO allow time for the Sui

sed the stock market.
Another dispatch stated with appar'
cot authenticity, that the Turkish forces
had crossed the Danube, in great force,
and had occupied Kalofa,, with the in
,en,ion Of attacking the Russians. This
account says ,ha, six thousand Turkish
infantry and cavalry had alrendy cross
ed, and more were still crossing, the mer
in bargcs Leading their horses swimming
alongside; and that the Russians were
concentrating around Kalalat to attack
them, though no resistance was Offered
TO them while crossing. Another repor
saws the Russian forces had retired on
the approach of the Turkish 'orcss.

this article be true, China will advance BY
the influence Of this revolution but how
far depends upon the form of government
established in place of the miserable fabric
now in existence; whatever may be this
form we have no doubt it will be establish
ed on more liberal basis than now. Men
that push forward revolutions are those
who are dissatisfied with their form of gov
eminent and when the revolution terminates
successfully they seldom erect similar
fabric to the one just demolished; they too
are progressive men, for to be disconnected
with despotsm is always progression; now
if the premises thus assumed are legitimate
then the result of the revolution in China
will be, that her new government will pro-

She will then receive into her dominion the
