CANTON, June 2l.-The community have little
dread of any disturbance taking place in that city
They are bent in following out the amusements 10
which they have been so long accustomed; and
that this may be done the more effectualy, they
have come TO the conclusion OF building hand
some hall, wherein balls, concerts, billiards. and
other amusements, may while away the weary
hour
The HongIong Register, of the 2lst of June,
has advices from Foochow up TO the LIST of June.
There has, as yet been no disturbance there,
though affairs continue to be in very unsettled
and excited state, in consequence OF the move
ments Of the insurgents. II would seem that the
Mandarins are determined to make at least fair
show ofopposition to the rebels. They have COM
meuced putting the city in a state of defence-are
garrsoning the walls, organizing trained bands,
issuing flaming procamations; pretending TO col
lect provisions for a siege, &c, &c. They are
also raising small bodies Of troops from the dis
tricts around Foochow, and are sending them of
to aid the imperial cause al various points.
The insurgents have, il appears, succeeded in
taking Yangchow, a town lying twenty miles up
the Grand canal, on the northern bank of the
Yang-tsze- kiang, which circumstance has filled
the Emperor with "extreme anger and sorrow"
The son ofthe Taoute Of Shanghse was at Can
ton on the 7th of Juno, engaged in organizing
feet of armed fishing boats, TO proceed to the river
Yang-tsze-Kiang, upon which Marking stands.
