From the London Times, May 24, That elucidation which time briogs te mozt je gradually dawning upon the civil war in be gain Information opens one or two new points of vie and eneblos un to appreciate somewhat inore ratisfacto: xily the progress and prospects of the revolution. Thres proclamations or ‘mauilentoas issuing from the insurgent amp, have found their way, in an English version, to pean settlements, and from these documents we can at least the general petensicns advanced by the rebels. The first of these assumes all the character of an imperial proclamation—that is to say. it is put in the name of Tien-teh, the insurgent chief, idence actually reigning, and it invites the support and co- ‘operation of the people by promises of reward, and under threats of vengeance in case of refusal. The second pur- ports to come from an independent adherent of the rebel cause, and coptains a circumstantial denunciation of the Tartar dynasty. The thid is the most rema:kable and the most interesting of all, for, although not very clear in substance, and obscured by the usual intricacies of Fastern phrateology, it is a justification of the insurrec- ary movement upon principles of religion, and the Feligion thus appealed to is nothing less than Christianity. aan there manifestoes, taken in combination with ier intelle; we can infer that the revolution is now mainly ed upon wat is assumed to be the na- ticnal duty of restoring a native Chinese dynasty by the ‘expulsion of the Tartar intruders. It will be remembered that in the first half of the seventeenth century, or some two centuries sgo, the Mantchoo Tarters succeeded in subjugating the Chinese Empire, and seating a prince of their own on the throne of Pekin, in the room of the na- tive rulers. From that time to the present, the Tartar Graenty bas survived, but it never conciliated the affec- 8 of the people; it gradually declined in strength, and ats ruin was precipitated by she disgraces and charges of the war maintained for awhile against ourselves. The victorious int urgen's now heep on the heads of the Tar- ‘tars all the accusations which such ciroumstances would naturally suggest. hey describe them as haviog out- raged the ancient institutions of China by innovations in ceremony and apparel; as having administered the gov: ernment cf the country without regard to clemency or poe as sustoining themselves by rapacity, and shield- 14 Sheracelves-by. corruption, while the en‘ire pon Bey Prostrate roaning under this excess oft} ‘Tien-ten, fc fi .nno1 tyranoy, Fils late plot that ee coe ncn, (with reference at he has “slaughtered - floers and abandoned magiatvaten till ‘be ia Tied of the carnage,” calls upon the “scholars and people”? of the coun:ry to aid him, by pecuniary contcibutions and pe:- sonal service, in consummating the triumph of native independence snd social reform. This p!aces the political chasacter of the rebellion bey ond dispute. ¢ religious element of Ue movement is consid Jess distinct. and, as the proclamation bearing pon te wubject will command universal interest, we transfer it in its original phraseology to another part of our columns.

For our own part, how. ever, we cannot see rauch danger of either France or Ameries?ever gaining a pecnliar ascendancy in Chinese politics ‘or ultimately doing there what we have done in India. The poseestion of an India would break up the Federal Union as surely and as immediately as the con- uest of Siirope destzored the old constitution of Rome. a the other hand, France has proved abundantly that her genius is not adapted for foreign dominion. She is too imperious, too ostentatious, too exacting, and too es ery =, of the al ers, gentlest porrible touch on the reigns of we bel ster Lin to eny, the genius of England, reputed so rude and so blunt, is the only one that has the delicacy, the sublety, ard the tact for this dificult achievement. i But what is to be the reauit of this interference?

They havp not the means of advancing far upon land, nor inde r up the inland vavigation, nor are any three confederates ike to agree on a mere oggressive pian of operations.
