! Advices from London, under date OF
| October 14th, explain the recent peculiar
| conduct of the Chinese Government in
refusing to grant the demands of foreign
powers for the protection of foreign resi-
| dents. 1t appears that the empire is in
such rotten condition that rebellion is
liable to occur at any time, and the Gov
| eminent fears to punish the rioters lest
| they bring about a revolution that may

powers have assured the Viceroy that in
| the event of rebellion arising from such
a cause, they will assist the Government
in putting it down and bringing the
| offenders to justice. 1t is certain that a
serious crisis is at hand, but as the pres
ent dynasty has such solid backing, its
stability is pretty we'll assured, although
the crash may result in wholesale blood
shed.
