The Revolution in China.

The journal Of Commerce says: The latest
accounts from China are unfavorable to the
cause of the Insurgents Extracts from the
PekiA Gazette, extending from Sept. 9th to
Sept. 9Oth, chronicle the recapture of sew
eral towns by the Imperial troops, and the de-
struction, in the aggregate, of some 10000
Insurgents. This last is no doubt great ex-
aggeration But after making all due allow
ances, it is evident that the prospects of the
Insurgents are at present discouragng. They
are scarcely less so at the South than at the
North. In the neighborhood of Canton, the
Insurgents have suffered serious reverses, in
consequence of which, the vessels of the I'M
perialists, which had been confined within the
Bogue for several months, now venture out.
The gentry and merchants have contributed
largely towards the defense Of Canton, and
have subsidized 10000 men for the relief of
Shun-teh. Says the China Mail of Nov 1lth:
The extortions practiced by the Triads, who
claim one-half the rice crop throughout the
driving the villagers to coalesce and resist
their demands, so that besides the Ninety six
villages, including Wang g-chuh-ki, to the
westward Of Canton, 220 Of the 334 villages
occupying the Lichaushan, or hill-country,
furI her west, have banded together and driven
the Triads beyond their boundaries; and those
in Heang-shan district, in the neighborhood
of Cumsingmoon, have collected fleet of
al. n
their husbandmcn, while gathering in the
harvest. We also hear that body of 500
volunteers arrived at Canton on the 9th, from
Heang shan, the siege of which city is now
creditably reported to have been raised for the
present, the immense I Rad fleet Of 800 YES
sells being actively engaged in levying tri-
butte from the surrounding villages.
Meanwhile, the intrcnchments to the North
of Canton have been repeatedly attacked,
and on the 4th, the Imperialists were success
full in routing their defenders, and destroying
a considerable portion of them; but they did
not follow up their successes, and consequent
ly the insurgents have had time to rally again.
Fat-shan was to have been attacked on the 9TH,
which has led to the concentration of their
bands by the Triad leaders Ho Ping-fui and
Chin Asin; and, with others, the greater por-
ton of the garrison of the fort at Wbampoa
has been recalled to Fa,shan.
AS at ShaRghae, dissensons have broken out
among the Triads around Canton, and num-
bers are said to have deserted and Joined the
Imperialists.
But the most Sc, ere blow to the Triad
cause in the south of China, will be the Gan.
ticipated) destruction of those piritica fleets
/ from which these ranks are recruited bv the
squadron under Sir James Stirling, he de-
parture of which has been unavoidably de.
layed for day or two. So that we trus
ere long to be able to report the province Of
Kwang- -tung, (Canton,) at last restored to the
quiet of which it has SO long been deprived
by these banditti disguised as patriots"
