The last accounts from China speak of various
of the rebels and of the Government troops but
decided result had been reached In the province Of
Hoonan the rebels captured two cities and several small
places batterng down the walls Of the cities with
artillery The resistance made here enraged the cap

English travellers In Amercathose Of them who have
had acquaintance with the statesmen Of that country
have for these veandtwen years past been subject TO
strange perpexty whenever the foreign policy OF either
Great Britain or the United States was freely discussed
The English have never been apt to think oyermuch Of
Cuba not more perhaps than of Juan Fernandez or Of
Borneo, and not so much of Hayt Yet every Amer-
politician in turn let's out that he supposes us always
to be thinking Of Cuba, always longing for it, always
meaning to have it. and plotting to get it For years.

such thing Cuba belonging to England, whoever he

importance Of this department in the present Of

Lord John Russels jealous admirers and

He has however, we believe been among the foremost
to persuade Lord JONI RUSSELL undertake it. Should II
provetoo aborous for Wing chief he may wthoutan
compromise Of dignity ask to be relieved by removal to
Office Of less arduous character and in that
doubt his opinions will be considered in the choice Of bis
