! PRooREss oR THE CHINESE REBELLIoK.-
Letters received blythe steamer Franklin
all allude to the difficulty Of obtaining reli-
able Information of the progress Of the Chi
nese rebellion, though allagree in the fac t
Of the whole country being in state Of ex-
treme disturbance, and that in the tea dis
tricts especially there is great disorder
1 There is no longer any doubt that the Ko
Kew 0olong districts were at the mercy of
the rebel bands; letter from a missionary
confirms this as we'll as the statement ol
pIunder having been carried on throughout
that portion ofthe country. Nan-Chang is
said to be undoubtedly in the hands of the
rebels.
This commands nearly all the Green Tea
Districts. Mess:s. Nye, Parkin a. Co.
one Of the most eminent American houses
lin China, write under date of June IS as fol.
lows:
"Since llth, authentic information has
been eceiVed that the Taiton Of this place
lis at Tongway, with considerable number
of sand waiting further reinforce
ments, said to be on the way from Fouchow
to come and attack the rebels here. His in
tention seems to carry out his purpose oil
/ the 18th instant, with force vhriously es
timated at 1000 to 5000 men accompanies
BY large number of mandarin junks; HI
has also applied to the English Consul tt
assist him with steamer.
"From Chang Chou it is reported that
though still occupying the approaches t
that place, the rebels had, on the 18th inst
a fight with the Inhabitants, in which the.
(the rebels) got the worst ofit
"Here the rebels appear very much press
ed for funds, and besides prohibiting tn
conveying Of rice to any of the neighborin
Towns, have commenced extorting consider
able sums from those reputed to be wealth
w.. The alarm and discomfort caused b.
these proceedings on the part of the rebel;
added to distrust Of each other, will rende
the opportunitya very favorable one for tn
maudarins to take the place.
1.-TWO days ago disturbance broke out i
the chiefs palace, where probably 400
rebels belonging to rebel villages, are sta
toned, between them and some Annoy ret
els who were in the city, the former sus
pectjng the latter of an intention to XII
the chief, and place the second "a Strait
Chinese) in command"
The letter further expresses the hope thu
{ the U. s.. Japan squadron will return fror
Loo Choo, where it was last heard from, I
participate in the Intervention that is S
likely TO become necessity here at a
) early day.
