THE WAR IN CH1NA.-Irs BARBAR1r1Es.
The advices from China give shocking
accounts of the barbarities which are COM
mitted at the sacking of towns and on
the field of battle. 1t is stated tn at in
one engagement one thousand were Kill
led. besides large number who were
drowned by being pursued into the river;
in another, seven thousand were killed !;
in another, seven hundred were burnt to
death and killed. only ninety prisoners
being brought in by the victors but they
had the heads of one hundred and fifty
others. Numerous engagements are
mentioned, where thousands perished.-
The Emperor appears to set the example
of barbarous cruelty, When one of his
officers is defeated he takes his head off.
Every general, therefore, is fighting for
his own head.

twenty-five thousand French troops were
to be sent to the assistance of Turkey, and
that an alliance had been formed between
Russia and the East Indies to cooperate
against England in case she persisted in
her support of Turkey.
If these accounts should prove true,
(though we think that while they are not
unlikely to be SO. they still need confrma-
ton. } general war throughout Europe
seems to be inevitable. and that it will be
seized upon by the patriots of Hungary.
Italy and other places. as favorable time

the good work.
