ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN. HH TUREISH QUBSTION. TInmportant Diplomatic Note of Count Nesselrode. THE NEWS FROM CHINA. YHE LACE RMBROIDERIES OF IRELAND. THE FOURTH OF JULY AT SEA, ke, ke, k. The Hermann, from Bremen and Southampton, arrived yesterday morning. She left Bremen on the 17th, and Southampton on the 22d ult. She bringsa qoll cargo of German and French merchandise, and a large complement of passengers. The Hermann brings 170 passengers and about four bundred tons of freight. Her passage has been extremely boisterous, haying bad continual head winds and boisterous seas the whole time. ‘The anniversary of our National Independence was d@uly obzerved on board the Hermann. The celebra. tion came off with great ec/at upon the ocean, and the stout ship quivered with the cannon thunder which echoed to the memory of the men who secured | the freedom of a flag now floating upon every sea. ‘The following is an account of this pleasing affair:— | U.S, Symamer Herman. off Fire Island, ) July 7, 1853. j A brief account of what was done on board this ship, te elebrate the Fourth of July, may uot be uniater eoting. ‘After = long and bélsterous passege, with continued gales of bead winds, we were ia very great doubt lest the westher wight be too unfavorable for any demionstratio: ‘The evening before, however, the sun, for the first time set with s promire of a fine morrow, At midnight, su eight bells struck, @ salute from the ship’s guns told that the Fourth had come, and ayoke the startled sleepers from their berths, in doubt whether the oiler bad burst or the ship had struck ofmrock. A few | of the initiated assembled in the smoking room and drank ‘the health of the seventy-seven years old child, ia s bum per ef champagne, Sunrise, also, heard the joyous voices of the eannous, and the «tars and stripes were hoisted at each most-bead. But the busines of the day commeaced | St twelve o clock, as tae sun parsed the meridian, » salute of thirteen gums was fired in the true wan-of-war | style, so well understood by our captain.

At the after end a platform had been erected, on | whieh Mr. Richxrd Sands, whose name is a ‘household | word both in the ld and New World, took the seat as | eparman, having been unanimously called to that honorable pevition ato meeting of the passengers the | evening before. | ‘The ceremonies commenced by ringing ‘Hail Colum bia,” then Mr. A.

Among the passengers of the Hermann is Mr. | Richard Sands, formerly known as the great eques- | trian, but more as the ceiling walker. Mr. 8. is one of the originators and managers of the Hippodrome; | and bas brought over more wonders, in the shape of | @ very diminative elephant and some rare species of | extziches, to give new interest to its present attrac- tions. ‘The European news which she brings was antic’ pated by the intelligence received by the America at Halifax, and published in our edition of yesterday. We give some items of interest. The Atlantic was off Holyhead at half-past two P. M. Tuesday, 21st ult, and was going up the river atzeven P.M. Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M. P., eldest son of the late Danie] O'Connell, died suddenly in London on the 17th uit. Hie Excellency M. de Bille, the Danish minister at the Court of St. James, also died unexpectedly in | London on the 1sth alt. The Paris correspondent of the Times states that the Ruseian flect in the Baltic being short of ateam- | ems, the Emperor had sent an agent who was in | treaty for the purehase of the American steamers Humboldt and Franklin, for which veseela the sun ef 4,750,000 francs, equal to $50,000, had been Offered, and ie was thonght the bargain would be eoneladed. ‘The India and China overland mail brought news to London to the effect that four hundred British troops had been ordered to Shanghae for the protec- téon of British interests. The United States frigate Susquehanna had failed | fm going up to Nankin with the American Commis- stoner, having grounded for twenty-four hours about ten miles above Woosung, and returned, The coast was alarmingly troubled with pirates, who had at- tacked several English vessels. At Canton all was quiet. Trade bad been going on to a large extent in imports, but at reduced prices. Little done in tea. At Shanghae business was suspended. The United States steamer Mississippi was to proceed to that port on the 27th April. The latest intelligence was to the effect that the insurgente having captured Nankin on the 21st March, had subsequently been compelled by the Im. perial troops to evacnate it, and in little more than a fortnight—viz., on the 6th April—had been defeated aixty miles southward of Nankin. The English squadron at Spithead had been rein- forced by the arrival of the Channel fleet, under Ad- miral Corry, and now presented a most formidable sppearance, consisting of seventeen ships. In the event of Rossia attacking Constantinople, this fleet it was expected, would be instantly ordered to de- stroy the Russian fleet in the Baltic, which operation, it wax enppoved, could be effected in less than six days from the order being given. Most of the ships of the Britich fleet now at Spithead are propelled by screws, and have tremendous armaimenta. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert reviewed the eamp at Chobham on the 21st alt., amidst an im- mienve multitude of spectators.

When I wrote you at Paris, { prom‘sed you whea T reached this city you should hear from me again. Ia ful- filment of that pledge | write you this morning feom this sity of silks. Lyons, or in the Roman nomenclature, Lugdunum, is the second great city of France, and ooe of the eldest torns in the empire. Its world-wide renowned silk hes given it © eommercis! importance scarcely second to none on the continent. It is beautifully situated on the bauks of ine two great rivers of France, the Rhoze and Soane, These ore shallow rapid streams, spanned by some fifteen bridges, mort of them beautiful speeimens of stone archi tecture. These bridges interfere little with forwthe reason that the boats runing on these rivers are narrow (twelve feet) and loxg, with a small draught of water, The city cconpies the low grounds bordering the rivers, as alo the sides and sunmét cf the bordering hills; the ancieat or Roman part of the ciiy was on the latter, and rematos of Roman ar- chitecture are still to be seen there, though some of them bave been garnered into the “Museum of Arts.’” The streets are generally narrow, psved with stone er bita minous ¢ ment, and the sidewalks ranging from elghteen inches to four feet in width. The buildiogs ere of brick and stone, mostly the latter, plastered, and six, seven and eight stories high. The city is lighted with gas, and in supplied with water from the Rhone. The po!lce is aduni- rable here ae well as in all France, and the streets, unlike New York, are thoroughly cleaned early every morning, The population is some 275,000, reventy thousand of whom ase engaged in the manufacture of silks. Here goods sre manufactured in families, ihe ‘ Negocionts’? furnishing patterns and all waterisls, aud receiving the work firished for s stipolated price. The ‘Parisian ‘ils,’ a8 they are called, are all manufactured here The amount of silky and velvets made here for foreign eonsumption ts immeose. The United Stetes are their best customers, neat to whoa comes England Lyons is guarded by nineteen detaebed forts surround- ing the city, cccupying some fifteen miles in cirewit; and what may be thought eomeshat strange, the port-holes and guns of These forts all face the city instead of show- ing their (eeth to enemies from without; and +o accurately fre they located and adjusted thar the hundreds of uss they contain command every part of the city. What must be the condition ef those countries where the go- yerrment of the country most fear the people of the country. In the galiery « ‘arts, among other artistic specimens, are the ts of several promineat natives, Delorme, Marshal Souchet, Jussien, end last, not least, the immor tal Jacquart, the inven(or of the silk low. Lyoas’ choice figured silks owe everything to the genius of this msn. Befove the middle aud latter part of the eighteenth century those rik were the issue of the tedious labor of the band andthe needle, His genius produceed a loom that revolutionized the whole tubsication, and reduced the expense to one-tenth of its former cost. In the ya. rious silk establishments you will see elegant likenesres of Jacquart wrought on silk, imitating, aud very closely too, splendid eteel engravings. I have suggested to one of ihe prominert “Negotienta” bere to bring out in the navigation, | same style a portrait of Washington. He has promised me to do so, 80 you may expect in another year to see in Broadway, and everywhere else in the United Staten, a | splendid live engraving on silk of our own beloved Wash- ington. ‘The merchant told me he supposed he would have to seud to the United States for a good en graving to copy fiom, bu: I 4old bim wo, for I bad just seen one of the best at the bureau of the American Consulate. By the way, I find at this, as well wost of the American consulates, the Hrratp the most prominent of the American papers, and I need berdly aseure you that toac American traveller abroad, next to receiving letters from home, be bas no rieber treat than to «et down and pore over an Ainerican newepayer: it however unfits him for reading the so- called newspepers here. There are, 1 understand, a large body of troops sta- tioned here, the centre of the Department of the Rhone, under the command of Marshal Castellan, an old soldier of Napoleon the Great. These troops, like most of those in Frence sre young wen, from eighteen to thirty years of age, end from appearance are capable of enduring avy amount of fatigue. I hope there will not be very soon avy cecasion for anything beyond their ordinary roat of peace duty, altbovgh there have been some i dications of foreign trouble that might inyol Fraxce.

A gentleman possesrivg a million of frares, loaned out on note or bend and mortgsge, and receiving his ia- terest yearly, pays not 9 sou of tax. I cannot assign a reason for 40 strange a feature in their syetem, Some few weeks tince there were in this city two noto- rious brigands and murderers publiely executed by the guillotine.

[From the Londen limes, June 22 ) The following circular note has been addressed by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the Ministers and Diplomatic Agents of the Emperor. It is published in the Gazette de St. Petersburg of the 12th inst.:— CIRCULAR. Sm—As the mission of Princ» Menschikoff to Turkey has already given rise to the most exaggerated rumors—ru more to which bis departure, and the interray lations ecnsequent upon it, will, no doubt, give addition a! foree—I think it is my duty to transmit to you upon the subject some gereral information, which may serve to rectify the fale data which may have been spread about in tbe country in which you reride. T think it ruperfluons to inform you that there ia not a werd of truth in the pretension which has been fastened vyow us by the rewrpazers of aiming siiher at a fresh territorial ¢ggrandizement, or a more advantageous re. gulation of our Asiatic frontier, or at the right of nomi pation or revocation with regard to the Patriarch of Constentinoyle, or, in ebort, at any reli sions protectorate which would bave a terdency to exceed that which we exercise iv point of fact and traditionally in Turkey, by virtue of previous treaties. You are sufliciently aware of the polisy of the Emperor to know thet his Majesty does not aim at the ruin ard destruction of the Ottoman Ewpire, which he himself on two ocsastons has saved from dissclution, but that, on the contrary, he has always regerded the existing statu quo an the best ponsi- bie ecnbnation to interpove between all the Euro an inteverts, which would necessarily clash in the ast ifm void were actually veclared; and that, as far as regsrds the protection otf"rhe Ius:o Greek ‘religion in Turkey, we bave ro necessity, in order to eacure ite ia teres # of any other rights than those which are already secured to us by our treaties, our position, and the reli- gions aympsthy which exista between fifty million Rus rivns ef Ube Gréek persuasion and the great majority of the Chrirt'nn eubjeste of the Sultan—inilue sce immemorial and inevi'able, beesnse it exists in facta, not in words ~ia fluence which the Exoverer found existing in fuil foree when be sreended the throne, acd which he esnnot—out of deference to “he urjust suspicions which it awakens— rencorce without giving up the glorious inheritense of hie sugust prececesters, This i*, in point of fect, to inform you how Mttle founded are the reports which bays been spread abroad of the inion of Prince Mensebikoff, which never bi any other object than the arrangement of the affair of the Bely Pisce It would he too long, sir, to recapitulate to you in de tail the history of all the phases tbro bas passed since the year 180, W own consciences that we were cot the first to raise the question. We kuew too well ali the consequences it im volved, rt asthe peace of the Fact concerned — rerbaps pence of the world. We have never consed, sioge its commencement, to call the attention of the cabinets to the porition in which it would involve u to the grave eventualities which must rive from it; aad tha successive developements which it has assumed, until it finally produced the exsiting crisis, have but too well justified our sad progrostications. It will be sufficient for the moment to recall to your reooilection, that af ter the first concessions which had been obteinod by France in favor of the Latins at Jeruralem, to the detriment of the immemorial privileges which hal heen conceded to the Giceks, the Kwperor—secing every doy the evident partiality of the Porte for the Latins, leading it to conedsions of a graver ard giill graver natvre with regard to the righty and Inteverte of ile Kesterm worshtp—found hint mnder the obligation of »ddresxing the Bulian upon this point in w vertous, yet friendly Jeter, The reruite of iin etep were the cenvocation of a commission, erm posed exclu of re- | arent | and | with the Vorte. \ | sively of Turkish Ulemas. which ceoupled itesif with the task of reconciling the reei| 5 after pegoti ‘& letter, from Sul wo a cape ee soma S caergpess gpa ded Of the malntenanes of the ancient rights which bad been eoveeded by the Por'e to the Greek communities. A firman, which contained the details of this a1 it, at the seme time communicated to us. At the top firman e hatti sberiff, in autograph of the Sultan, acknowledged and conzecrated im the most formal wan- r the anterior acts which bad been conceded to the Greeks at <ifferent epochs, had been renewed by the & po Mabmoud, ana had been confirmed by the reigaing ‘ultan. Altbough thia letter avd this firman were conceived in a spirit which departed in some meavore from the strict datu quo, whieh we had slways endeavored to main'aln, Levertheless as there Cocuments appeared to tl vor to sati¢fy. up toa certain point, bis just solici the interests and immunities of the Greck Church at Jerusalem, a Cesire of conciliation induced bin Majesty to seerpt tbem. He took oflicial record of them, 50 as w give them a solemn and defimitive value, Ip the presence of these categorical cocuments, offici- ally ecwmunicated at the end of » long and pa’ tiation, the Imperial goveromeat bad certainly # right to comider that @ discussicn, from which its moderation bed succeeded in removing danger, and whch left the Latins in porseesion of new advan’ age, was for ever clored. ow tbai, unfortunately, thie has not been the ea: { should be cerried far if 1 related bere all the acts nese, of \ergivereation aud duplicity which have sigvatived the e-nduct of the Ottoman antborities when become a question of fultiiling the enasgements which they bad urdertaken towards ns. and of proceeding, ac- cording to ueage at Jerusalem, to the promulgation, the \egiszation, and the execution ef the ficman. Whea the Turkish Commistary, who had been sent to the Holy City. sxecording to the explicit assurance which our mission at Corstantirople bad received, arrived at hix destination, be had the audacity to declare to our Consul who insist- ed ugon the resdirg and registration of the firman, that be had no kiowlecge of th and that there was no mention of it in bis iustructions. Alhougn later, upon our remonstrances, the tirman was finally read aud regis- tered at Jerusalem, this was only done with restrictions injurious to ‘he Fsstern form cf worship. But as far a steelf, with the exception of the accom- plishment of these rin:ple formalities, its primeipal pro- vi ions bave been openly trensgressed. The most flagrant violation of it bas been the delivery to the Latin ri- rch of the keys of vhe principal church at Bethlehem. ‘Thus delivery was contrary to the exprers terma of the firman It wounded deeply the clergy, and all the popu: lation of she Greeo- Rugs faith, becat socording to the idees which are current in Palestine, the possession of the key seems to imply, by itself alone, that of the tem in Its entirety, The Tork government, then, against its own proper interests, established in the eyes of all men the suvremacy which it accorded to another form of worship than the ene to which the majority of ity subjects submit themselves. Such a ‘forgetfulness of ‘the most ypovitive premises which bad been solemnly meade fn the letter of the Sultaa to the Fmperor—so patent a breach of faith, agzravated strll more by the proceedings ard by the derisive words of the councillors of his Highness, were certainly of a nature to justify our august master, wounded as he was in bis dignity, ip his friendly eoofidence, im his form of worrbip, ned in the religious sentiments which h eshares with bis subjects, in demanding amnple ratisfaction, His Majesty might have done so ‘f, as he as been xecwed by opinion which has been perverted at its sources, be bad only songht for pretexts to upset the Ottoman em- pire Int he did net chore this conrse. He preferred te obtain this satisfaction by meavs of & pacific nege tiation. He bas striven yet ancther time to enlighten the Sove- reign of Turkey upon the wrongs which he bas been guilty of with regard to us as well as with regard to bis own interests, and to appeal to his owm wisdom agaipst the faults: of his ministers; and it is with this view that he despatched Prince Menschikoff to Constan- tiople. His mission had two objects alwsys relative to the affair Gf the Holy Places:— 1 To negotiate, in p'sce of the firman whieh had been nullifiee, for a new errangement, which—without taking away from the Latins that which they had lately obtain (er in exacting this retraction we withed toavoid placiag be Ottomen Porte, relatively to France, in precisely the vawe falve position ia which she was placed relatively to ur). whould at least explain those concessions in a manner to take eway from them the appearance of a victor goined over the Greeo-Rurs form of worship, and whiel shou.d re-establirh. by means of some legitimate compen- retions, the equilibrium which had been destroyed at the expense of the parties last named. 2. To corroborate this arrangement by ax authentic act, which might serve at the same time as @ reparation for the past, and a guarantee for the future. We believe that, with regard to the first mission of our Ambassador Extraordivary very difficult and very thorny in iteelf, icasmuch.as {t was necesrary to reconcile the reciproeal but coutradictory interests of Russia and France), we brought to bear upoa it an earuert spirit of conciliation, aud we, are happy to say that the French government responded on its side to | art of the which was this disporition. After long discussions it at length | hi ripeved into @ reeult, and this result has been that two new firmans have been sgreed upon, which were obtained without any opposition from the French Ambaseador. But, as [ said before, the question fgg uegotiation pre. | tented pet another face. Te obtain elbrrangemect ‘was Vitkout an act which should render it velid, atce that for the future the new firm: mated and religiously observed in their les und their consequences, itisevident that these | ( , after the flagrant vislstion of ihe one wich had preceded them, cvuld nut ba. -our eyen possess any greater value than vos bao dove, To thir guaraztee the a aration for the outrage cfercd to thie dignity by the breach of feith cm the part of the Otioman Porie—especially after the cireumatarces which bad rendered this yet more ious. The i'rirce mont chik: ged to obtain this by meeps of a copvention which he should sign with the Turbiah govern nu. There bas never been any question of a treaty properly +o called. Loud exclinations have been made agaiast the form of this convention, os though in principle it were injurious | to he Sulan’s rights of sovereignty; aa toough it con | the Christise religion (ct ferred upen ue, in tof faet, a perpetual right of in- terventin ip the interpel ailxirs of Turkey. We believe that on this point « phantom bas been evoked, and that epprebeorions are felt, the foundstion of which is more specious than real. In priveiple, a convention, or even a treaty of this kind, weuld haye uothing unusual about it; and we do not see in what respect they would touen ike Sultan’s rights of rovereigu autocomy more than the capitulations er other acte whieh Frarce and Austria alresdy porsess in Turkey. For, in princivle only, it is of little conse- quence to the ixdepenaence of the Sultan whether enact appliés to » more or less considerable number of Dir rubjects on whose behalf « rigot of foreign protection was to he exercired. A guarantee assured by treaty in another state, in the | interests of a foreign commution, has been usual in all times. At the time of the Reformation, for example, tteter—even the great Catholic States, eoucluded with others treaties or conventions, by which they guaranteed in their Cominions ‘0 thore of the Pcotestant eowmu- pions certain privileges, fravebises, and immunities; +0 that, even in our own aya, the efyil position of this com- murion rests upon tae'e bases, and yet the states which bave ne sveb guarantees do not think themeelves in- Jured in their sovere'gn rights or in their polities! inde- yendexce £0, with much mere reason, way sueb acts be concluded with a Mus*ulman Empire, whose Christian subjects have ruffered, aud suffer still, +0 often, not oaly in their immunities, but in their properties and in their exister ce. As to the fact, andas far as we are coneerned, it is already in ¢: ee—the ferm of a conventioa which we proposed contains no innovation on the sudjeet of reli | ious hberty. The treaty of Kynareji, in whieh the Porte prem cons‘antly to protect the Christian reli gion end churehes in its States, implicates for ff ciently s right of surveillance and remonstranee. This right is egain established, avd more clearly still specified ip the treaty of Adrianople, which confirms all our earlier traveactions, T! — ions of Kynardji may be traced back ss far as pave, therefore, in fect. ond for rearly eighty years. the very rights con- ceded to us which are now eontested, and the tien of whieh is eon: idered as con jution in our relations with the Otto asserted that this right would give us the hg tob yd in sed over the majority of its rubjects. Ruwely, if we bad yored to reaké a bad ure of that right, as is sup by thore whose suspicicns are incurable, we eould not bave wanted the occasions for doing so in the ceurse of this long period of time, and such ocoasions | Rould specially have presented themselves with in the last years, whea Furope was a prey te anereby, eben its governments paralysed by imternal contents, were engoged in or distracted by the re tiors of tbe Oceident, leaving the Orient open to the am- bitioens # which 4) ribed tous. If ours were the intentions which some persons are pleased to suppose in us, we rhould snvely not have waited antil peace was re-establirhed in Europe. Should we, with such ioten- tions, have disposed Gur forces in sueh » manner as to offer a mor terial support to our seighbors? Should we, Cone, have strained every nerve to reecucile our ailies, gcd to remove every obstraction to the intimate w f the European oowers’ On the contrary. in such @ ease it was clearly our interest to de oll we could to perpetuate their diffe ren: We should then have left the goveramente alone, to fight among themrelves or with their rebellious subjeets, and profit: ing by the embarrasementa of their position, we could have attained, without apy dificulty, that point which persors persist in designating as the goal of our en- croncbing poliey. At present, when soaial order ia for turately re-established in every country. end when the Staten of rope, €ach set firmly on tte basis, have the free cisporal of their actions and fortes, such a policy on ur part vould be uhorougily out of season, We reiterate ovr aseertion that, in principle aed im a convention with the Porte in favor of the mo ov¥ of our religion, presenta no novel features.

Such was, at the moment when the Priace Menschikol left Copstantivople the rea} ultimatum which the Imperial Ca: inet propored, and it waa only when the Porte still de- layed accepting the said note that our Ambassador shaped his courre to Odes:a, and broke off our diplomatic rela tions with the Ottoman government. The concessions he made successively In the form and the spirit of our propositions, he made also in the term which was originally fixea for their admission. After waiting for a leng'b of time, and truitlessly, too, he had been instructed to demand from the Porte » difiuitive re- ply within three days and although, courequently, he ought to have had that reply on the 8th of Mey (new style), be quitied Constantinople ro late as the 2ist of the tymonth. ifter three months of labericun negotiations, and after having exbaueted even the pocnible concaxsions, the Kmpercr is now compelled peremptorily to insist on the urcorditional (pur e simple) aceeptation of the draught of the note. But still influenced by those considerations of patience and forbesrance which have hitherto guided him, he has granted the Porte a fresh reprieve of eight days, in which it has to take its decision. That periat passed, and painful though it may be to his conciliating dis ‘position, he will be ecmpelled to think of the scans of Chain- ang. by a more decisive altitude, the faction which he has in vain sought to cbtain by ble means. He would not adopt such an attitude without poiguant and profound regret ; but by dint of blimtness and obsti- nacy, parties have attempted (on aura voulu) to push him into & position in which Rustia, pressed, no 10 ey, against the extrenest limits of moderation, cannot yield ‘anoiher step unless it be at the eost of her political importance. Sir, you will pleare to communica‘e these facts to the governmext to which you are accredited, aud you will rubmit to thet government the important document which is appended to this despatch, We entreat that government to give the document its most serious con sideration, for it is at this moment the gordian knot of the question. We still desire to untie that knot in a peaceable marner; but it appeara that we are to be com- pelled foreibly to break it. While we submit our ultim tum to the impartial judgment of the cabine's, we le je whether, after the wrongs of which has been guilty against us—whether, after so much cauce of legitimate resentment as it has given us, we could poesibly be content wiih a +lighter satisfaction. 4 consciectious examination of the draught of our note will show that, devoid of the forms of a treaty. wand even of anyraliagmatic contract, it contains nothing what- ever contrary to the rights of the Sultan’s sovereignty— nothing which betraya on our part those exaggerated pre- tenrions which are ascribed to us by a suspicion which is ax insulting to ua ss it is upjustified by our former ac- tions. We trust this exawivation will suffice to shame down the fale rumors which have been bruited about our havgbty exigencies, and to show that, if the rejection of the last means of conciliation we propose to solve the difficulties raised sgainet us in the affair of the Holy Places, should kad 10 complications which may break the peace, it is not on our shoulders that the res Ponsibility for such cyents would rest.

In the nearest British settlement it was a party question, and, cacept in our own columns, it was ineated as a trifling affsir, to which the Friend of China and the | Fricnd of India seemed to atiach a very unnecessary gree of importance. In“many q the. rst idea thut a rebellion existed, came from the news of the com- mercial crisis at Shavghae. We might have continued for ever to point out the geographical progress of the rebels the evident alurm of the cabinet, in their o:ders for the removal er decapitation of unsuccessful generals, and the gradual exhaustion of the treasury, and yet not have been believed. But a disturbauce io the tes trade was instanily understood; all the old women in England covld comprehend the proba fect of the cultivators running away from the tea fields; and opium speculators awoke to the fact that other circumstances might possi. bly affect the price of their drag besides their own time bergsins, and the decisions of the Judicial Committee of ibe Privy Couneil. We presume the last intelligence will remove the «mall remains of scepticism which may exist in India, as in Chima they bave convinced even the most incredulous. The insurgents are around Napkin, a few marches from ment. and which was made use of by Mr. Alcock iu 1848, to compel the loeal author'ties to listen to reason. He laid an embargo on all the grain boats destined for Pekim, and the Taoutse, dreading lest an o1 for his head should precede an in’ ation into the affair, acceded to the Couxeil’s demands. It does not appear that the insurgents et been successful in their attack upon Nankin, tle is reported to bave taken place; and so jt is the alarm of ibe autborities, thet the British aad ‘Americans have been applied to for assistance.

Meanwhile, there is a report that the rebels have adopted a speedier method of bringing the «arto conclusion. During their progrers they have frequen:ly, after making ove attack on the valled cities, contented themselves with laying waste the rurrounding country, ard suddenly advanced still further to the north, towards their ultimate object, ie. hin. They are raid to have tried this mancuvre once more. and by a masterly retreat to have abandoned Nan- kin, and poured their forces along the road to the capi tel. Should they reach it unbroken, and be assisted by the mob of the suburbs, it would appear that the Em- peror must fly, though ke may have resou-ces which we at (bie distavce are unableto estimate, and there must be tribes to the northward, whom, ara last researce, he can summon to bis assistacce.
