CHINA.
PROGRESS OF THE RESURRECTION.

Firm. The Commercial .fdreyti,er.
Little information has been received lately from
China least of authentic and Ineligible charac
ter respecting the movements of the instrgent forces
in the Celestial Kingdom. Down to the Spring of
1855 we had toeraby ul and clear accounts Of their
proceedings, but since then the accounts have beeu
very vague and unsatisfactory We are indebted to
friend for Hong Kong paper containing long letter
ir,m the Rev. Dr.. Biidgman, carrying tho narrative
down to the middle Of last December. Ii Is too long
for our columns and will rather gain than lose in in
ere,t in this latitude by abridgment, and we present
to our readers a careful synopsis. DIR. Brdgmans in
formation was obtained from three eye-wtnesses "a
what he describes. These persons were with the in-
sugents at Nanhin, Chinkang Wuhu and other places
in Nganhui frequently at the palaces ct the
chiefs ard had the ampCst opportunities of acquiring
information. One Of them illiterate native,
and the others being foreigners, were unacquanted
with the Chinese language, and DIR. Brdgnan there"
fore experienced some difficulty in fixing exact dates
If occurrences hut of the substantial truth of tho mar
ratiSe he entertained not the slightest doubt.
HE native was youth, aud was IN the service OF
the insurgents for than year, though only "a
bearer Of burdens. The foreigners were gentlemen
az large, Adventures presume for they had hrst
entered the service of the mpealists, but receiving
No pay and seeing no prospect Of any, went over 10
the insurgents with whom they remained until the
two principal rebel chiefs were cut of, when they
abandoned the insurgents also, and coming from
Maxim by way of ChiDkiang and Tantu, reached
Shanghae in the latter end Of December. Ihey re-
ported that they left only seven Foreigners with the
iusmgeut,-yiz: five Manila men, one Italian ana
LegrO.
The two chiefs of the insurgcn' force were Yang
