CHINA. The rebellion is, on the
whole, steady advancing in China
There has been some fighting at Annoy,
and if not distinguished for the number
Of slain during the conflict, the result
was attended with barbarous cruelties.
The attack was made on the town by the
lmpcrialists on the 27,h August. There
was fighting between the rival juuks-
funny work it must have been aud the
upshot was that lmperialists triumphcd
by a coup ne mdin, capturing, it is said,
four hundred of the patriots, the best
part of whom were instantly beheaded,
according to the economical procedures
of the East. The Imperialists then be-
gan the destruction of the villages where
the enemy had resided, killing the men
and boys, and cutting off the breasts
Of the women who had nourshed such a
serpcut brood. There was some char.
acteristic rcprisals for this, and the re.
bells re-entercd portions of the town
On the 3lst of August the two armies
arrayed themselves against each other
two miles from the town, but with what
result it is not said.
The rebels were constantly moving to-
wards Pekin, the Mencoo troops sent a.
gainst them having been shamefully beat
en-. Shanghai and the country round
are in a state of partial rebellion. The
Emperor is treating his Generals after
the good old plan of the Reign of Ter.
ror, whether with equal beneficial results
for the integrity of his Empire remains
to be seen The late general commanding
in Hupe, Po-.e Kung-ure, was discovered
in disguise under a false name, 10 a vii
lage in the outskirts of Pekin. lie had
arrived there, having made his escape
when the city, under his command, was
taken by the rebels and this conceal
uent with its peculiar circumstances,
was declared to have aggravated his or
iginal crime. He was sentenced to de.
capitatiOn, which he suffered, and his son
holding an appointment in the criminal
Board has been dismissed the service.
At our last adyices, Hong Kong was too
much excited in regard to the looked for
news, to decide whether the reigning dy-
nasty had fallen or trinmphed-N Y
