all the assistance which could be 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 inland progress towards
Pekln, which can In no way be effected by the oPs-

The advices from China, however, in the English
papers by the last steamer, from Hong Kong to 28;h
of March, distinctly that application had been
made by the Vceroy of Soochau to the British con-
sui Shanqhae cooperate against the rebel force
for the protection of Nankin. The rapid advance of
the rebels has spread CONSERVATION in that capital and
other wealthy cities. Latest accounts, 20ih March,
reported the rebels investing Nankn, not having
captured it previously repeatedly which, it was
pected, would fall. Delegates had been sent from
Soochau to the rebel leaders, offering large sums OF
money to secure that city from molestation. The
native bankers and wealthy families removing

safety. At Shanghae there a general panic
banking and mercantile houses shut up; trade quite
a stand still, and money that the duties

bills and other property to the consul. All quiet

rebel force had gone North-if true, internal trade

THE CHINESE REBELLIoN-THE FRENCH AND
ENGLIsH-THE JAPAN EXPEDITION. We have seen
a letter from officer on board the United States
ship Plymouth, dated Hong Kong, March Oath.
He says that the almost universal topic was the
bellion. The rebel army was much larger than the
regular army, and the head chief represents him
self as a descendant of former Emperor. AT the
last accounts they were surrounding Marking, and
great fears were entertained that that city we'll
Pekin would be destroyed. In conformity with
request from the Chinese authorizes, the British had
despatched two steamers ID brig-of-war, to assist
the troops of the government The Susquellanna
had been sent &c Shanghai. Captain Kelly was the
senior officer of the station, Commodore Aulick hav-
ing left for the United States. The Mississippi
soon expected, and great Impotence manifested
for her arrival. Quite an excitement prevailed in
consequence of an affair at Canton between the
French and English. The French Consul undertook
to raise fag-poe on the parade ground occupied by
foreigners. The English prevented them, whereupon
the Consul wrote to the Captain of French frgate,
stating the whole affair to him. He sent lieuten-
and draft of marines to Canton, protect the
flag The lieutenant first civilly requested the Eng
lshmen to desist and on refusing, he in connexion

The writer adds d" hardly think that will go
Japan this season. The squadron will not reach here
before july, and will not be ready before August.

Bayard Taylor, Esq, who has been appointed At
tache TO the China Embassy, by Col. Marshall, the
U. S. Commissioner, thus writes to the New York
Tribune from Macao, under date OF March Goth :
The rebels boldly avow their intention Of over-
throwing the present dynasty. They exhibit the
greatest skill and judgment in their operations and
their career is marked by a succession CT unnteTrup-
ted triumphs. They retain city fortress which
they caplure, respect private property, commit no
outrages individuals, and seek to conciate those
whom they conquer. The consequences, their ranks
continually increasing, and unless checked before
long, they will succeed in their aims. The British
steamers osIensiby go to protect British property
in Shanghai. Ii is not known whether they will do
than this, since, should the rebels succeed the
probable effect will be to open all parts of China to
the world. The crisis is intensely interesting. II
is the first time in nearly two centuries that the Im
Perial Government has been seriously menaced.
Col. Marshall, finding no authorities at Canton
who were empowered to treat with him, has deter
mined to 60 10 Shanghae, with the expectation of
proceeding to Nankin, where Seu, the Imperial
Commissioner, remains at present, endeavorng to
check the progress of the rebels.
MIR. Taylor also states that Commander franklin
Buchanan, of Mary land, the successor of Com. Au-
lick, wins good opinions on all sides, by his frank,
prompt and CONSCIENTIOUS discharge OF the duties OF
his station.
HUNGNAM SAw-CHUENG is the ma me of the
distinguished and successful leader of the rebellion
in China. foreign correspondent says that
he is man of no ordinary appearance. five feet,
five inches high, we'll built, roundfaced, and regu-
lar features handsome and we are all satisfied with
his great fitness for his high position. Saw-Chu-
eng has an army in the field of 100000 men. He
is very popular with the people, treating them with
respect, generosity and kindness" Success to the
rebel chief Saw-Chueng, say we!
The New School General Assembly, which has
been in session at Buffalo for about two weeks, ad
journed on Tuesday evening. The Buffalo Courier
remarks that the session has been harmonious and
fraernal one, although matters have been discussed
upon which there conflict of opinion and of
feeling. The slavery question received atten-
ton than any other and was disposed of in rather
harmless way. There was strong conservative in
uence in the body-neary all its best and able
men deprecating further action as unnecessary and
