Hes conduct has thrown discredit upoa the advice of those who have counselled the Sultan to be moderate and deliberate in his action. Profess ing simply to bold the Principalities asa “material guarantee,’ penning the acquisition of a * ral guarantee,” Kussia has already, without any ehange of ciroumstances, in the midst of negotiations which she could not refuse without affronting all the powers of Europe, proceeded to acts which she disclaimed beforehand, and which are totally inconsistent with xtof holding the Prineipalities simply in . ‘The seizure of the Post, Office administra Uon, which not long since it was regarded as an af front to believe, was a trifle compared with what bas The revenue of the Prineipalities has been the Moxpodary, who had been required to transfer their all ee from the Porte to the Czar, have been deposed; and Commisioners have been appointed and govern the provinces on bebalf of the Kuesian government.

On the contrary, the conduct of the Jtussian authorities in the Principalities can only be regarded as a fresh proof of the indifference of the imperial government to the rights established by TION which she fastens on her s whether the honor ation 1rope ts of 1) required that Whe decisive resistance to Rassia should be made when her armies crossed the Prath, or whe ther room should stil left further neyo- tiation.

Petersburg. If a divert answer is recewed from both courts at Vienna with the least posable delay, te interval would be about a fortnight; bat if, as is probable, 1 communication’ has to be made from Constantinople to St. Petersburg, the delay may be even longer. In the meantime, the demand of the British government for explanations as to the extra ordinary and oppressive conduct of the Rusnany on the Promerpalities, wil arrive at St. Petersburg al most as soon as the proposition from Viewna, and will convince the Emperor that the tome is past when the mask wn which he has hitherto shroudeddus poly can still be worn. We have aright to insist on knowing upon what pretext these provinces, with which we have most extensive commercial rela- tions, are thus virtually incorporated in the Mussian empire. ‘he internal measures of the Rassian Cabinet are all of a warlike character. On the 20th of July a ukase was published raising a levy of seven men per 1,000 on the population of the eastern half of the Empire; which ix supposed to amount to 24,000,000, At the samme time the arrears of men (three per 1,000) who had been excesed on the last levy, are called up, ro that in some districts the conscription will amount to one per cent. Some pressure has begun to be felt for money to support these enormous mili tury preparations, and the executive government ap- plied to the Minister of Finance for perminaion to use a portion of the gold reserve depovited in the for- terres of the crown, But this gold is the basia of the Russian paper currency, and the Minister of Fi- nance rised strong objections, which were not for the present overruled, to the appropriation of any part of thid fund. The Emperor then applied to the Rucred Hyned tor # loan of sixty million roubles, That holy body expressed their readiness to obey at all rinks the imperial commands, but alleged that they were the depositories of the property of the church for the most sacred purposes, and held their porkestringd closed with ecclesiast tenacity. Thos far these facts undoubtedly indicate the finan cial weakness of the Russian government; but, on the other hand, it must be remembered that if war were declared, expecially if it avsumed the cry of re ligious supremacy, not only would these efforts be made, but far greater sacrifices would probably be obtained from the enthusiasin of the people. Nothing, meanwhile, is neglected which can influence the am- bition and national pride of the Russians, and even the language of public documents is passionate and arrogant in the extreme—at present, however, we are told, without much effect upon the people, who do not believe their chureh to be in any danger at all. But the more the Emperor Nicholas assumes this tone in bis own dominions, the more does he lower and contract his influence on foreign States. All his attempts to impore his policy on the Courts of Vien- na and Berlin have failed; and even at the minor Courts the intrigues of the Russian diplomatists have not been more successful. Of these the most impor- tant is Denmark, because she commands the entrance of the Baltic, and undoubtedly owes a debt of grati- tude to Russia for her support throughout the late Schleswig-Holstein war. But the independence of Denmark is even more closely connected with her re- lations to the Western maritime powers, and no State is more interested in the maintenance of strict neutrality, in the event of hostilities, We dix- credit, therefore, the assertion that the Russian government bas succecded in extablishing its hold upon the Court of Copenhagen, and the statement that the Danish government have proceeded, under Ktursian influence, to abrogate or impair the consti- tution of 1449, is wholly Inaccurate. The Danish government have caused a bill or draught priest to be published, containing some modifications of the constitution pow in force; but this bill is to be submitted to the discussion and vote of the Cham- bers when they reassemble, and it has not been pro- mulgated by royal authority. To Denmark, as well anto all the adjacent parts of Kurope, the present crisis is of vital importance; for, though this quar- rel commenced upon the Bosphorus, the solution it may receive will determine whether or not Russia is to make the rights of foreign States subordinate to her interests or her ambition; and, since such pretensions have been manifested, the peace and Independence of the world can only be preserved by the firm adherence of all other powers to the mea- sures necessary to restore the authority of law, and to set bounds to the possibility of aggression. THE CHINESE REVOLUTION AND ITS EFFECTS. Visit of the British Steamer Hermes to Nankin, and her Discoveries—Religtous Character of their Christian KnbwieagieCommt from God—Friendly Societies —Bovks of Written Laws—Heavenly Appearances, di The visit of her Britannic Majesty's steamer Hermes to Nankin has opened a new scene in the greatChinese drama, It has served to establish the truth of previous surmises, that a large number of the Chinese are enlightened Christians, and destroy- ers of idols, This class of the revolationists had been known for some time before as the “Shang-ti Brother hood,” and had made a statement of their views and principles in two proclamations—one issued by Yang, the eastern king, and the other by Sian, the western king, in the early part of the present year. However, the reception given by them to the officers: and men of the Hermes, and their greeting them as “foreign brethren,” gives a matter of fact reality to the hitherto pleasing idea of their enlightenment. We publish some most curious and highly interest- ing extracts relative to their religious belief, pre- cepts, and moral code, extracted from the most au- thentic sources:— THE ORIGIN OF THEIR CHR [From the correspondent of May 24} It will perhaps prove interesting to you to learn what is known of the origin of their Christian know- ledge. Their chief on earth, Hung Siu-tsiven,who is the T’ai-p'ing Wang, and * to whom a kind of divine origin and mission is ascribed,” is a native of Hwahien, a district Kwang-chau department, in Canton province. He came to the residence of a mis- sionary In Canton, in 1846, to learn the Christian doc- trines. He remained in this missionary’s house seve ral months, supported by him, and was daily engaged in memorizing the Holy Scriptares, and receiving in struction in them. When hecame to the missionary, he gave him a paper in Chinese, stating that his at- tention bad first been directed to these doctrines by a tract, entitled ‘ Good words exhorting the age, which had been given him, several years prev in Canton, when he was attending’ the literary exa- mination; that the doctrines whieh were tanght in this tract, viz: that there was only one true God that Jesus was the Saviour-the folly of idolatry. the duty of repentance, Xe. were farther impressed upon his mind ina vision which he had subsequently, during aspell of sickness; and that, having heard t there was a foreign teacher in Canton, he had come to be instructed in these doctrines. This paper was unfortunately lost. After several months in- struction, he requested baptism; but the missionary was not satisticd that he was a proper oat for that ordinance, and wished to wait for more decided evidence of faith and repenta He afterwards left Canton for Kwangei. He was a small man, of good appearance aud address, and of considerable attainments in Chinese literature, but in no way very remarkable. In September of 1862, a man of the same surname as Hung Sia-tsinen, came§to Hong Kong. te pro fessed to be a iriend of the ehief,and also to be a be liever in Christianity. He made the acquaintance of a missionary in Hong Kong, and requested bapt'sm of him, which request was not gronted so far as 1am informed. During his intercoursé with this ini ary, Le gave him two papers in Chineseon taining some notice of the conversion of Hu teiuen, and the other containing some ace himself, the commencement of their preachi the attendant persecutions, and thelr subseqn necting themselves with the robbers in Kwang.si, in Tso, Che first paper, in addition to the particulars above given, as communicated by Hung Siu-tsinen himself to the missionary tn Canton in 1846, states that he was a student from bis youth, and a mau of tran- pendant obility- that after he returned from Canton mimenced teaching and preaching y books, explaining Chriatian doctrines, and exhorting men to believe thea— that he met with opposition, and that he worked miracles, foretold future events, and saw visions, Of hiwself, he states in the <econd paper, that he was a teacher; and that after Hung had explain ed to him the doctrines of the tract he had re TIAN KNOWLEDGE, Overland Chinw Mail, that Le wrote ed at the examinatien, and the substat of his sult nt vision, immediately believed the doctrines, and disearded the worship of Con- fucias from’ his school room, and the idols from his house, and commenced exhorting his friends and relaions to believe and do likewise. Some believed, but others oppo In the year 1846, he and two others, he having given up his school, commenced preaching these doctrine from village to village in Rivu-hien distriet, and afterwards they went to Kwanssl, were they had Much greater success in proparating * doctrin than in Kwang-tung. They went and came seve times between the two provinces, Wherever a nur bor believed, they destroyed the idola and the t ples. At first, the tmayistrates did not molest then udinitting they were good people, and that th trines were good; but that wards Cwhed the robbers were so nu ) onder the protextot cup pressing the robbers, they porseeated them, and two ir number, surmim d La and Wang, died wader thelr sufferings from thea persecutiona, At frat them as a wing of protection, atashed themselves to them, and became their leaders, organiaiag thea selves with the professed object of overturaing the government. So far from regarding these insurgents with favor, on socount of their profmsed ackuow ledgement of one God, and their belief ia the Sacre 1 Keriptures, I cannot regard these facts but with the deepert solicitude, as calculated to seriously compro- mise the character of our holy religion in tie eyes of this heathen nation, ‘THEIR COMMISION FROM GOD. The revolutionista claim to be commissioned from God, and assert that he bas miraculonsly assisted them. In one of the slamations referred to above, enumerating the destruction of the world by the flood, the deliverance of the Israelites from Kigypt, and the incarnation of the Lord Jesus in the Land of Judea, as three great interpositions of God in hu man affairs, they proceed to state:— In the later ages be has again manifested his indignation, and in the year 1837 the great God sent a celestial messen- ger, who was cominissioned by the Lord of Heaven, when he ascended on high to put to death the fiend- i#h bands. Again he has sent the celestial king to take the lead of the empire and save the people: From A.D. 1448-61 the great God has compassion- ated the calamities of the people, who have been en- tangled in the meshes of the devil’s net; on the third month of the year 1461 the exalted Lord and great wperor appeared; aod in the month of the same ear, Jesus, the Saviour of the world, manifested himeell, exerting innumerable acts of power, and slanghbtering a great number of impish flends in seve- ral pitched battles.” In the account of the Hermes’ visit, it is stated that in recounting their miraculous escape from Yung-ngan city, they aay, “ Our Hea- venly Father came down and shewed us the way to break out.” PROCLAMATION OF THE SHANG-TR 8 INHABITANTS OF WING-ON-CHC The Teaou- ching sz’, chief officer in the left wing of the army, bas cived the royal commands to publish this, that the hearts of the people may be changed, Know ye, people, that the middle ground (China proper) belongs to those of the former dynasty. Be not afraid, scholars, farmers, workmen, and mer- chants, but hold steadfastly every one to his work. ‘The fortune of the Han dynasty is about to flourish, and the foreign dynasty of the Mantchoos will soon end. ‘This is the’ decree of Heaven, in which there can be no mistake. After a long union, division must ensue, inorder that affuirs may be arranged again. Our kings publishing laws, exhibited their benevolen and betore ever they bowed the knee to Shang-te (God), they assisted the distressed, and after they had learned to worship God, they exerted all their strength to save the people from ruin; they pported the weak, resisted the strong, and assisted each other in spnoang thieves and guarding against robbers with united strength and unaniimity of mind. They were not like Tai-tow-yeong, Tai-leeyu, Cheong: ku-chen, and others, who stopped the vessels on the rivers, plun- dered everywhere, and killed the inhabitants of the towns and villages. On the arrival of officers and troops these men were afraid—they only cared to tell passports of #afe conduct a4 a protection to the people; Tut their assarance of peace waa in vain, Ir the inferiors Sepending, upon their superiors, also went abroad to sell these passports and collect a tax, so that the inhabitants had no peace till they had yielded to all these demands. In this way the mer- chants and traders suffered great ard indiscribable injury. ‘The cats and mice slept in the same place;”” ce, numbers of inferior persons assumed unusual effrontery, and formed all kinds of mes to do as much harm as they possibly could; they also raised troops from amongst the inhabitants, and even called upon our kings to submit to them. On the day that Wing-on city was settled there were three contending parties, but he who walked accord- ing to the wishes of heaven obtained possession. Our kings have spread their benevolence to the ut- most, and, regarding the people as their children, they have commanded the sony to abstain from murder, and to take nothing without permission; they are just and impartial as the balance, afd the trade in the markets now goes on quietly as before. If any one refuses to obey the laws let him be re- ported to the law officer of the army.

Heavenly King or Prince, the latter word being in his case equivalent to sovereign prince. In conversation he is some- times called Gagst J Wang “ Prince of Peace;” but rarcly, Tae-ping being the title of the projected new dynasty, not that of this individual monarch. The existence of any such person or title aa Teen-tih was distinctly ignored by the Northern Prince, the bh. est chief seen, who aid it was a phrase of “outside people;” and nothing was heard of the re-establish- ment of the Ming dynasty. Besides the Teen-wang five others bear the title of rinces, viz., the Kastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and assistant princes. The name ef tl first, who is first authority as well as in plage Yang-sew tsing; of the third, Fung-yun-shan; of the fourth, Wei-ching; and of the fifth, (some relative of the Teen-wang,) ‘Shih-ta-kae. The surname of the second is Seaou, but his individual (we may now say, Christian) name has not been ascertained. Heis the third in authority among the insurgents, a cir- cumstance that would mark him as a man of unusual ability, for there is evidence that he was not with them two years back, or at least not asa man of note. ‘The Pekin Gazette reported him as having been killed at Chang-sha; but a 8! se merchant recently spoken with at Soo-chow de ed that be had been brought before himsome months after when he was at the head of a squadron in the Po-yang luke. We are informed that a letter was received at Canton two years ago, purporting to be a Dpy of one written by the imperial commissioner, Chow- teen-tseo, to the governor of Hoo-nan. To this no reat attention was paid at the time, the receiver being habitually skeptical on the score of documents purporting to be copies of the private correspondence of high officers. An inquiry into the circumstances under which it was procured at Woo-chang bas, how- ever, now led to the conclusion that it is genuine. In it has assumed an historical value, for it ng-yunshan and Yang-sew-sing as wuthority to the chief y mentions being then leaders next i himself, Hung-sew-tseun, and shortly notes the same organization of the army that was found to exist at Nanking. The princes wear yellow hoods, shaped like the Chinese helinet, yellow jackets and owns. No little mystery exists with respect to the Teen- wang or Heavenly Prince, and there is even room for doubt of his being still ative. The imperiali declare him to have died some mouths back with them the wish may be father to the betic insurgents all speuk of him as living; but few, even of the long excopt the higher leaders, could say they lind seen Kim, Ho ia sald to come out occasion. ally in a large chair; but it isso completely shrouded in yellow silk as to render the presumed occapant invisible. He is said to inhabit the Yamun of the Governor General, and our countrymen who rode past that establishment certainly saw ‘signs of its being occupied by a person of great importance. A con sideration of all the various reports und statements ting this extraordinary individual has ted to owing impressions hat he is probably still alive and about 40 years omg yellow of age; that his name is certainly Hung-sew tteun; that he is a native of the Hwa eistrict, some twenty five miles from Canton ; that he took the first, if not the id lilerary degree, but found his way to off ed; that he then turned bis attention to the doctrines of Christianity, and was for a time ina direet connection, more or less intinoute, wilh a Pro ical missionary at Canton ; that he atter ablished in’ Kwangee a community of 8 composed of both Kwang-tung and Kwangse men; that persecution compelled him and his co-rveligionists to take arms in self-defence ; and that after this a sense of double injustice and in jury from the government acting on an ambitions mind, strong feclings, and an enthusiastic tempera ment, gradually brought him, aa the suecess of his arms increased, to the belief that he was the recip jent of a Divine mission to exterminate the Man choos, abolish idolatiy, and found a new Christian dynasty. We are told that, after a perosal of all the hooks brought from Nanking, no sign has been de: tected in anythivy purporting to have emanated from the Chief hiimwelf of a-elaim to a peculiar son ship of the Almighty, but the books heing the He cally € “ihe ieavenly Mather, bliined peak most distinctly of ¢ ther of all homan beings, and the de to be weed exnetly as we ourselves © i » also calls Jesua Christ the Heavy Celery Brother; but this appearayto be the only eon venient phrave Jett in the language to express our “son of God," the term “Teen taze, Son of Heaven” having been degraded by ita long application to the Liperors of China, In Chinese there exists no word actly equivalent to our common term ‘There ta one whieh means “elder brother” ther sipnifying younger brother.” Aa the latter always finplios adistinet and practical subordination, coly the former could with propriety be applied to ther Lord and Saviour, by these Chinese Christians. Prom theme various elreumetances it ia concluded that “Heavenly (elder) Brother’ expresses in the eHichlot Hine new-twenen, no. #pee oh to the litter, but sliaply the beotherhe of the “Son of ‘ tothe “Children of God’ venerally., It iain gtrou! whem ly not wud, where unmistakeuble ! to lrect divine origin, a non-ship of God edaimsto a and a cadetebip to Jesus Christ are put forth on be- half of the Heavenly Prince. Are we tw consider this an indiestion that the ruling spirit has already departed from the camps ot the insurgents, and is now undergoing & process of deification in the hearts of admiring and affectionate follewern? PROCLAMATION OF THE “HEAVENLY PRINCE” TO THe ARMY. The following ediet was dated from Yungan, in Kwang-se, about eighteen months ago, and w attri- buted by the insurgents to the Heavenly Pri “Let the forces of all ranks composing our arm: acknowledge the true religion, and act accordingly. God, the Heavenly Father and Supreme Lord, is the only true God; there are no other gods but God the Heavenly Father and Supreme Lord.

To God, the feavenly Father and Supreme Lord alone is due the title of Hupreme, the title of Kuler. From this time forth the troops address Us as Lord (or Sover- eign) simply; they must not entitle Us “Supreme,” thereby offending agains’ the Heavenly Father. The Heavenly Father is the Holy father in Mea- ven, the Heavenly Brother is the Holy Lord, the Saviour of the world; the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly Brother alone are Holy.

We now, a4 & reward, specially invest the first minister and com- mander of the first army, with the government of the East and the title of the Kastern Prince; the second minister and commander of the second army, with overnment of the countries in the West and the itle of the Western Prince; the commander of the front and third army, with the government of the countrics in the South and the title of the Southern Prince; the commander the rear and fourth army, with the government of the countries in the North and the title of Northern Prince, and our brother Ta, with the title of Assistant Prince, as assistant to the Heavenly Court. We further order that our royal spoure be entitled Queen (Neang-neang,) and our noble concubines, Princess. Respect this.” LATEST VIEW OF TIE RELIGIOUS AND MORAL ELE- MENTS. [From the North China Herald, May 28.] The nature of this insurrection, of which the es wence is its religious element, has compelled us to trench on subjects not usually discussed in a news- paper. We wish it to be distinctly understood that we commit ourselves to no opinion whatsoever on the reality and precise nature of the Teen-wang’s mission. ‘e feel certain, however, that he has not lived and acted in spite of the rye In like manner we commit ourselves to no settled opinion on the Book of Divine Communications, in which we do not wish to ignore the existence of much that, viewed by our lights, would seem to be mere human invention or delusion. But we certainly cannot con- vince ourselves that cold and éeliberate imposture could have originated and maintained an intense and extensive movement like that we are con- sidering. And we protest earnestly against all hasty, uncharitable, or it may be, pre- sumptuous, decisions in mattera which it is beyond the powers of hurman language to grasp, be- eause branching on all sides into the inscrutable and incomprehensible. What mainly concerns us is, that these Chinese Christians do worship the same (i as ourselves; that they have, like ourselves, taken the Ten Commandments as their moral code; and that they wage war against immorality with an ear- nestness at present allogetber strange tous, It was indeed said at Nanking—and passages intheir books corroborate the statement—that the sovereign bim- self has thirty-six concubines, the person: next in rank twelve, and some eight or ten of the other kigh officers each a smaller number. But this polygam ly is to be confined to about ten or twelve persons in a popu- lation of 360,000,000; and it is by no means an es- sential part of the system that it should continue to exist even in this limited extent. The teachings of one devoted missionary, or even the distribution of New Testaments, might originate a change; for it is to be remarked that both in this matter and in their “utterly destroying the men, women, and children” of their enemies, they appear to follow the dictates of the Book of Moxes more than the precepts of the New Dispensation. Until better taught they, among whom polygamy has existed from the oldest | times, may very naturally bel Him to whem five thousand wives w es of or ich in the patriarch that in the e mirs are “but day,” the Plorallt sg | if Abraham was in the Morning no fault, cannot in the evening be a crime. The great wonder is, in truth, that they have so completely separated themselves from most of the ancient vices and superstitions. In a few sentences in the introduction to their calendar they dispose of the whole system of divination, fortune telling and lucky days, which many of us have had cause to i cal tramael on the unchristianized The idols have been all destroyed in the in cities they hold, and, with them, many of the tem- ples. All the fern have been quartered in separate buildings, where they work and receive rations un der the superintendence of the seniors; and while all have been told that this m rary to prevent abuses, otherwise eure to sue in the existing confusion, it is for the p vent certain death for any male to enter these est lishments, even as husband or father. So rigorous are the Jeaders in carrying out their pr ral prevalent vices of the Chinese ha’ ly been cured even in the large numbers of new follow- ersat Nanking. One term of abuse was evidently allowed—“wang-pa-tan literally, egg of a tortol a metaphorical expression for ‘son of a cuckhold. But of all the grovs obscenities that used to garnish the ordinary language of both sexes, not one was heard, either by our countrymen or by their Chinese attendants, Nor was any gambling seen; and there was,in short, enough ascertained during the few days stay of the Hermes, to prove that the Ten Commandments, as a moral code, will assuredly be enforced in all strictness and integrity. BO@KS FOUND AT NANKING. We subjoin a description of the titles of half a dozen books procured at Nanking. Remarking gene- rallyon the character of these books, a Christian minister, who looked over them, said. he explan tion of the Ten Commandments, as given in one of the books, isin the main correct.” “In another of them is a kind of summary of Old Testament history. The religion of the whole is of the Old Testament spirit. The whole is wonderful. [ do not know what to think of it.” The books are named thus: — HOOK OF HEAVENLY LAWS. A tract, written in a very rude style, on the trines of the sect, in whieh are introduced the Ten Commandments, (abridged,) with an explanation of them. HOOK OF THE COMMANDS OF PATH This is part of the new revelation—recording what passed between “the Heavenly Father” and certain of the brethren at various places on earth.

A SzconD APPeARANce.—On the 1th day of the third moon, (19th April). of the Sin-k’hae year (1851) in the village of Tung beang, in the district of Woo-seuen, the Heavenly Pather addressed the multitude saying:—“Ob my children, do you know our Heavenly Mather and Celestial Elder Brother?’ ‘To which they all replied:—""We know our Heavenly Father and Celestial Kider Brother.” ‘The Heavenly Father then said, “Do you know your lord and truly?” To which they all replied, “We know oar lord right well.” The Heavenly Mather said, “I have sent your lord down into the world,to become the eelestial king; every word be utters is a celestial command; on inet be obedient; you must truly assist your lord, and regard your king; you must not dare to act disorderly, nor to he disrespectiul. Uf you do not regard your lord and king, every one of you will be invaiven in difficulty. A Tump Arreanance.-On the 13th day of the keventh month (Ausrust Mev of the Sin ’hae year 1851), at the village of Muh, Jesus, the celestial Elder Brother, scolded the people very much for hay~ ing secreted things to themselves, for not having: devoted them to the public goad, in order t shew fidelity to the cause. The kame evening, about ten o'clock, at the red thorn hill, in the tea district, our Heavenly Mather, the great God and supreme Lord, said:— J, your Heavenly Father, for several years past, have come down among you Your Celestial Elder Brother haa come dewn te protect, nd zealously gous out before you, your Saviour, nuos to exert himself in loading me op, just ag before, 1, your Heavenly Fathor, will be your Lord all your Hvow long. Why do you not then be faithful, and why neglect to ixoprove yourselves? Many of you have grievounly disobeyed orders; And beeaure I have not poiuted you out, your boldness has risen up to heaven. The great, God ulso raid— When you try to deceive Heaven, do not think that Hee- ven does not know it, The indulgence of Heaven ir vast an the nea, and yet not #low (to punieb.)

A HOLY-WAR PROCLAMATION, On the seventh day of the eighth month, in the Hinhae yeur, (thirteenth September 1861,» while at the city of Yung-gnan, the eelestial | king issued a proclamation, urging every officer and soldier throughout each legion and each camp, to display a public spirit, and not on any account to manifest selfishness, but to be single-minded; so as to be able to answer it to our Heavenly Father, our | Celestial Elder Brother, and ourselves. From hence- forth it is commanded, to all you soldiers and ofti- cers, that whenever you kill the imps, and take their | cities, all the gold and silver, silks and aatins, with | precious things, which are obtaiued, must not be se- | ereted for private use, but be altogether broughtinto: the holy treasury of our celestial court. Those wha: | ee against this, will be condemned. Respect his. On the 25th day of the 9th month, of the Sink’hae year, (30th Oct., 1851,) while at the city of Yung- Khan, the eelestial king issued a@ proclamation, to all the officers and soldiers throughout the host, both great and small, earnestly feeveching them to obey the commands of Heaven, with jo and ultation, with courage and ardor, with united effort and energy, to press forward in the contest, reverently obeying the injunctions given uH by our Heavenly Father, and the Celestial Elder Brother, It is now commanded to all the legions, that after every battle against the imps, (enemies,) every sergeant shall stand and record the names f the privates under his command, Those who have been most distinguished for obeying orders gnd | march forward, are to be marked with a circle, to indicate their merit; those who have been moat dis- tinguished for disobeying orders and ranning away, are to be marked with a cross, to designate their crime. Those who have been distinguished neither | one way nor the other, aro to be left without a merk. When the record {4 complete, the sergeant is to take the book and hand itup to the centurion, the cen turion is to give It to the leader of the cohort, and. | the leader of the cohort is to pass itover to the com- | mander of the legion, who in turn is to present it to the general, and the general to the inspector general, who shall further send it to the director general, and. | the director general shall lay it before the minister | of state; the minister of state shall further cummu- | nicate it to the generalissimo, who shall report it to our little heaven, in order to settle the degree of | rank to which each one shall be elevated or degraded. Small merits shall be requited with small rewards, and great merits shall be distinguished by conspica | ous promotior let every one therefore put forth i utmost energies, and display self-respect. Respect. this. THE REGULATION CODE OF THE REBBL ARMY. The North China Herald of May 28th, says :— “We hope soon to publish a translation of a short code of the principal army and camp regulations, said to be [strictly ‘The first regulation is diligently to obey the commands of Heaven; the se- cond, to learn the Ten Commandments, the Creed and the Morning and uing Prayers and Thanks- givings. The third forbids opium smoking and spirit drinking.” UNIFORM OF THE INSURGENTS. ‘The rebels are dressed in all sorte of clothing, but principally in silks and satins, with a red or yellow cap— the body of the jacket being of the same color. The Quangtung men are said to those with the red uniforin—the Quangsi those of the yellow. Some youngsters éress like femalea. The older followers may be distinguished from the younger by their long: flowing hair. The new adherents, whose hair is still short, have a square picce of yellow cloth sewn ta the jacket, with the character ‘lai-ping (Peace) om it; and also a little wooden tally suspended from a button hole, stating name and to what division the wearer befongs.

Shortly afterwards a second letter was received by the Prince's secretary, in the same handwriting and of similar purport, but going somewhat more into deta It was followed by a third letter, in which the writer stated that he had been down to Clare- mont. His Royal Highness now considered it his duty to send these letters to the Home Office, and Lord Palmerston on seeing them determined to take proceedings with a view to the discovery and a prehension of the prisoner. The purport of the feters addressed to the Prince was that his Royal Highness should combine with the writer in an ‘at- tempt to assassinate Louis Napoleon, or, by advanc- ing a sum of £20, enable the prisoner to do it him- self without assistance. A detective officer having been employed by the Commissioners of Police to commence a search tor the prisoner, inquiry was made for him at the Louse from which the letters | had been addressed to the Prince. It was ascer. | tained that the prisoner was residing there, but, om uspecting probably the ot of the inquiry, he decomped from Londen.
