The following we translate from the official paper of that date :— The Secretary of the Treasury of this republic has | been changed, and Mr. José Manuel Tirado, who is also Secretary of Fereign Affairs, has been appoint- | ed to the office in his stead. The only ene of the | former seorete ries still in office is the Secretary of | Wer and of the Navy, the inseparable companion of General Eshenique, and his first minister, having united all the cabinet duties in his hands during a months. " P ‘be government is apparently preparing for war; balls, Suites, and warlike heplenenterare being manufictured, and every possible effort is made in all the departments to raise the army to # respact- ble number, notwithstanding the desperate resist- ance offered by the people. Murmurs are continually herd, and the complaints are incessant against the position assumed by the administration, in provok- | ing and irritating Eouador and New Granada, by its | conduct in the Flores expedition. The navy | will probably be augmented by a vescel from the English navy—at least the government is anxious | to effeot the purchase of one, and also by the addi- | tion of the steamship Amazon, which ia expected at | Cailao in the course of this month; the frigate Mer- cedes has been war rigged in the same port | The position now assumed by the administration | cleerly shows that it considers war as inevitable | This opinion is founded either on the fact that it has | been announced that @ minister plenipotentiary | would be sent by the Ecuador government to Peru, to require an indemnity for the expenses incurred in | the defensive war againet Flores, or because the | President General Eshenique is fully convinced that | Lis motives in the barbarous expeditions would be | brought to light by the documents on board the | steemer Chili, or perhaps on both reasons. } _ If proportion as corps of infantry and cavalry are | formed in Lima, they sre senton tothe north Oa | the 12th of August, the Torato regiment of Lamcers wero shipped on board the bark Provincia de Chi- | clayo: it was ordered to be stationed at Chiclayo.

Tho intelligence, or rumors, about the “rebellion,” | is this month even more then usually indefinite and contradictory. One corres; it says the rebels | are unmolested in Hu-nan, where their leaders are supplanting the constituted authorities in the good graces of the inhabitents, while the imperial forces are retained in Kwang-si, on the plea if they leave that province the rebels will return; and this is the explanation given why there are no engage- menta to report. But it seems, the “rebels” intend to re-commence active operations when the cold weather sets in, and permanently to establish themselves, if they can, in the provinces of Hu-nan and Ss-chuen. Their number is set down at 40,000, | how provided for, during their inactivity, we aro | not informed; but our correspondent Bolds that though they may not be speedily subdued, they have not resources ultimately to withstand the im- | perial power; and we may add what another corres- pondent tuggests, that thoir leaders have no plan of operation, or any higher object than to constrain the government to compound with them by office | or «emoluments for themselves, and immunity for their fuliowers. But the Chinese, whethor rebels or imy lists, do nothing parity, » Wo are told that the rebols having got Pposseesion of ‘the city of Tau-chau, in Hu-nan, are | about to be hemmed in there, as they were at Yung-’ngan in Kwang-si; and so far from there | | | d the King of Great Hay in ackno ment of the seaietiion wi they have prenir l so shallthe far and reverence of them be spread throughout all the borders, and the country oijoy verlasting tranquillity and repose. .

CHINESE TREATMENT OF SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN— AMERICAN CLIPPER HOOGHLY. {From the China Mail, September 2] We have been requested to contradict a rumor esent in the spony, iat the pe ig a ive longing to the ican clipper ly, re- ocived the worst of treatment at the hands of the Chinese, and to state, on the authority of one of themselves, that they were, on the contrary, treated with much civility both by the mandarin and the inbabitante. The Hooghly got ashore at5 P.M of the 12th August, aud by 7 o’clock next evening she was s0 deeply settled in the sand, with the sea breaking over her poop, that her crew were compoelled to take to the boats. The captain in the quarterboat, with eight hands, made direct to Woosung, which they reached in safety; the mate with a paseongor aud twenty-two men in the long boat landed on the northeast side of the island of Tsung ming, about half past ten the same night. In the morning, | about seven. the Chinese made their appearance, bringing with them cooked provisions and fruit, which they sold to the seamen. The water receded, leaving the boat high and dry; but as evening ap- roached, the tide flowed, and some thirty of the hinese lent their assistence in launching her, and the mate got under way during the night, but was being no imperial forces in the province, they are sufficiently powerful to prevent the caged | bisds from venturing forth to try thoir luck elae- | | where | The effects of the insurrection at Canton are said | to be felt in the diminished demand for goods, and supply of teas ; but in the same breath we are to!d | that *‘ the policy of the rebels has been not to in- terfere with the transit of merchandise to and from | the interior ;” and it is certain that the literary | examinations at Canton, to which no less than eight | | thousand candidates from all quarters have come, | are going on “‘ as quietly as if the maxims of Con- | | fucius were the panaces of the ills of the present | and all coming generations of Chinese.” | | Last month we published what purported. to be the confession, before execution, of Tienteh, the soidisant heir of the Mings, and the head of the in- surrection, without vouching its authenticity. Of that, however, we have now less doubt since even those who allege that tho person sent to Peking b: Saishangah, ard whose confession we published, | was not the real Tienteh, but one of his officers, | do not question that the confession was actually | made by a prisoner called or calling himself Hun Ta-teieun, alias Tienteh. We have heard & goo! deal upon this subject during the month; amongst | other things, that Dr. Bowring and Dr. Parker, the representatives of Great Britain and the United States, and firm bolievers in the | power of the rebels, hold that the real Tienteh is | alive and aot and the rebellion flourishing as | | much as ever, It is possible, considering the he- | terogeneous mass and its heer leaders, that the Chinese authorities may have taken the wrong man, | | though there does not seem to us to be suflicient | proof that such is the cage; nor do we see what end could be served by their practising a deception, which must be short lived, and attended with risk. | The confession was kept back by the translator for six weeks, and was not published until the order for the man’s execution ee Peking Gazette, and ona minute search of its files all the main | points of the confession (confirming as thoy did things previously but not so ay. reported) | are fourd repeated in the report of the Board of | j Punishment, which states when this man Hung Ta- | | tsieun (Tienteh) was examined, and when con- | demned. It is easy enough to set up another man and call | him Tienteh after one is dead; but the question is, | whether this Hung (the pun is unintentional) was | ever the Tienteh of Kwang-si? and not, whether | the insurgents have now such a leader ? | The Tienteh who bas been executed, we are | told, ‘‘ was taken to Pekin from Kwang-si, and for- | warded by the [mperial Minister and Special Com- | missioner, Saishangah, who was then in chief com- mard in that province, and neither the Governor- | Gereral nor his substitute had bref as do with | that jurisdiction, and aro not likely to have taken the trouble to foist a scapegoat on the Prime Minis- ter.” THE SPIRIT RAPPERS AND THE CELESTIAL REVOLU- be Hi TIONISTS g a1 [From the Hong Kong Register. Sept 21.) T’cow Ming: ho, Governor ofkwang. se, kneeling, presents @ memorial concerning various acts of as-. sistance to the empire afforded by certain spiri+s, which have displayed their heroic energy, and res- | spectfully begs the Emperor, of his sacred grace, to | grantan addition to their titles, in acknowledgment | of the provection which they have accorded: — | Since our dynasty obtained possession of the em- pire, the majestic energy of the god Kwan has been | remarkably displayed, and the successive emperors have conferred exoollent tities upon him, and | throughout the whole land temptes have been erect- | ed to him, aud he has been honored and sacrificed to with the utmost reverence At the present time. when the provincial city Kwei-lin has been attacked by the rebel villains, in every time of peculiar dan- | ger, I bave repaired with reverence to his ape, | and burned be‘ore him my prayers, besceching him to regard the lives of the people. On one occasion, after such @ serviee, there were dug up, ata spot behing the temple of the Bright and Loyal, twenty- five old guns, which bad been cast in the time of the Ming dynasty. They proved very strong, and were ef great service; many of the redels were shot to death with them At different times, from various spies of the rebels which were taken. and from individuals of the poo- ple tbat had been kept as prisoners by them, I learn: ed a report which was circulated in their camp, that, | whenever they were pressing the city tho hardeat, | they caw a red light shining over it, anda man, mounted ona horse and brandishing a sword, in continual movement, the horse being very large, aud all bis guards and attendants very tall, quite different from ordinary men, so that the sight of them struck the rebels with fear, and they were beaten in every engagement. Morcever, I was informed that on_ the thirteenth of the third month, the iy being dark and rainy, the rebels sent down, at the fourth watch, upwards | of forty veseels from behiad the Tseang-pe (Kle- | pbent's nose) hill, hoping, by their secreoy and ox- pecition, to reach the river’s mouth, and effect a landing under cover of the darkness. It happoned, however, that their progress was stopped by a vio- lent rorth wind, and there appeared ® horseman on | the surface of the water, making signals to the im yerial troops to advance with tho stroam, and drive them back At the same time, amid the | darkuees, there was suddenly Gikplayed a lantern, | with the two words ‘*Great Happiness” written upon it ¥ On the 29th of the third month, I reported that the resele had been beaten, snd in my account etated clcarly that spirits had been frequently seen displaying their majestic energy. I said also that when things wore sevtled, I would make exact in quiries into such matters, and report the result | Now, I consider that when the rebels were boaten before the city, the troops were all standing about the embrasures of the wall; the horsemen. whom the rebels caw brandishing his sword in the red light, wae certainly the god Kwan, manifesting his sacred presence for our aseistance. Whon the troops | again beat back the rebola and deatroyed their ves tela, of course it could not be one of themselves who stood mounted on the surface of tho water; and the two words whioh the rebels saw upon the lantern, put it beyond a doubt that this wes the spirit of the King ct Great Happiness For there ev are indebted to the anxious thor r Lord, concerned about the daz y people, and influencing the epiits to dispisy their aid and punieh the rebrls The surname of the King of Great Happiness wag Woo. and his nawe was Tang.
