From China.

Russell Co., OF Canton, in their circular OF
August Sd, write as follows respecting the then
state oil affairs in China:
The whole of the province seems to be in a
state of rebellion against the Government. more
or less active in the different sections. according
to the ability CT the rebels to supply themselves
with arms.
Fatshau remains in possession OF the rebels,
most OF the Government forces having been with
drawn from there for the protection OF the city OF
Canton, where there has as vet been no rising
against the authorities Skirmishes between
troops sent out from the city, and bands of poorly
armed insurgents on the northern and eastern
sides Of it, are almost OF daily occurrence
At Whampoa, the Mandarns have lost all con-
trol, and chop boats. with cargoes for the foreign
shipping, having been compelled to pay bIac k
mail to the rebels Tor thievesi are how towed
down by the river steamers when available for
that purpose.
The legitimate trade of the place is at an end.
and 1t Is probable that more active interference
OF foreign powers, IN protection of the river nav-
CATION, may soon become necessary.
The forces under Com. Ringgold having been
withdrawn on arrival OF Com. Perry command
ing the East India station-a detachment of sailors
and mariners from the Mississippi is now station
ed in front OF the factories where the Comus also
remains, and we consider this sufficient protec-
ton.
There have been no sales of imports since our
last, and holders can ONLY let them lie in their
godowns. Canton being practically in a state OF
siege. il is impossible to find buyers
TEAs.-Arrlvals are entirely suspended. al
thongh it is reported there are above 100 chops
lew Gongou waiting transit within a short dis
tance of this place. The holders of the new teas
here have naturally asked very high prices, and
an advance Of one or two cents has been estab-
lished.
