We would here observe that a report is in circulation among the people, to the effect, that letters have been received from Caba stating that whenever a Chinaman is about to quit the country, their money, clothing cc., are taken away by order of the Govern ment, which, not allowing them to be on the Island without employment for any longer period than two mouths, takes them and agtens coleus fores them into an engagement and compels them to remain and--die on this Island. We have no doubt, but that the late affair on the ride of the Ganges owes its origin to these apprehensions.

French and the Chinese officials, respecting the attack upon the doctor and Mr Durus of the French gumboat has been amicably settled. The French being determined to have the culprits punished, displayed as much force as their circumstances admitted They rescued the Doctor, and insisted on summary chastisement of the onlints, which was administered in the presence of almost all the foreign Consuls and residents of the settlement.

The rebellion in China are still causing mich auxiety to the government Parts of Shantung, Housin, Kiangsu, Chili, Hupch, Kiang), Fokien, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Schneu are still in a state of civil disorder, and great outrages are coin- mitted by the marauders, Ningpo and the. neighbourhood are much disturbed by pi- rates, who are becoming more daring every day. Their valour has recently been some- what checked about Amoy, but not sufficient to ensure the safety of foreign ships in a calm except they be heavily armed. These rebels and their associates are likely to be some. off-shots of the rebellion still existing in Fukien, Kwangtung and Kiangsi, The combined try of Taepings amount to from 80,000 to 100,000 men, women and children, of whom perhaps 20,000 are good fighting men. Their condition is miserable, and if the Imperialists could be induced to pardon some of them, and to keep their promise, we have no doght but that most of thern would accept the amnesty. The cause of the coutinuation of the troubles is owing to the interest any of the ldiers and officers have in the bloodless battles, and to their indifference to the welfare of the people.
