1t is rumored that John r. Thompson, Senator from
New Jersey, will be offered the China mission. Mr..
Thompson for many years merchant and Con-
sui at an important Chinese port and is spoken of
better qualified for the mission than any heretofore
named. This mission, at present, is regarded by the
administration of the highest commercial and po-
litca importance. General Pierce is understood to
sy mpathze with the rebels, and will sterny rebuke
any Intervention by naval forces to sustain the
Tartar dynasty.
An order issued by the Postmaster General design
ed to warn the Postmasters against irresponsible a.
gents who propose to obtain Balances due them, by
charging exorbitant fees, had created much excite

clustering expedition in the South and West against
Cuba on scale too vast for Government control.
