We find in the Bee the following telegraphlc
items of news by the Niagara, under date OF
New York, August 6:
Russia and T'urkey.-The Russian Chancel-
lor is said to have declared to the French Am
bassador at st. Petersburg, that the Gar would
welcome an early arrangement of the existing
difficulties. The only cause of delay at the
| time was the necessity of obtaining the consent
| of Austria, which was already on its way to
st. Petersburg.
A rumor has been in circulation in Paris that
| the American minister at Constantinople had
| addressed a note to the Porte, announcing that
| the government of the United States would
| support the integrity of Turkey, on condition
| that the United States should henceforth have
! a voice in the direction Of Turkish affairs.
This last sentence we conceive to be perfect
ly ridiculous.
Chinese A~f1airs.-The insurgents in China
| have translated the Bible, and have circulated
it very extensively throughout the Empire
| The book produces intense excitement wherey-
er circulated, and there is a serious likelihood
| that it will lead to the destruction of the Tar
tar race. The city of Nankin is reported to be
in a state of ruins. @ The Insurgents are
preparing to march upon Pekin as soon as they
receive certain expected reinforcements from
| the South.
The commander of the British steamer Her
| Mons, had returned from a visit to the seat of
the insurgent government, where he explained
the neutral position Of the foreign powers. He
states that the Insurgents had adopted the Pro-
testant forms of worship, that they acknowledge
the Trinity, and the ten commandments, and
recognize Jesus Christ as the Saviour of man
kind, &c.
France--Royal Marriage.--1t is reported in
Paris, that the Prince "Napoleon" is to marry
a daughter of Queen Christiana of Spain and
be made King Of Mexico.
He will first have to obtain permission Of the
people of the United States; secondly, of those
of Mexico-and it is absurd to think of obtain
ing either.
