the standard of rebellion. The vital question is, however, whether tho large- numbers of rebels and desperadoer on the Tonquin, Kwang-si and Yunnan borders, who have so long defied the fee- ble attempts made for their suppression, will join in this new movement. These rebela recognise one chief, known as "Yip," and are said to number nearly a hundred thousand. They are generally termed the "Black and Yellow Flag rebola. In his report on the nowly- opened porta of Hoihow and Haiphong- Dr Dennys speaks of these rebels as one of the great troubles of the route to Yunnan via the Red River. The oute skirte of the Yunnan province have," he Bays, for a considerable period, been în the possession of Chinese rebela who are Chinese authorities, while at another at one time waging war against the fighting Annamite rebels for Annamite pay. These "Black flag" mercenaries, as they are termed, are frequently to be seen in Hanoi ; they are a reckless bold- looking set of men, and swagger about armed with double-barrelled pistols, in a way that warns peaceable people avoid them."

General Li has, it is reported, asked these rebels to join him, and should they do so the rebellion might speedily assume vory formidable proportions. There is, however, one important reason why this step may not be taken. Some time ago the whole body of these rebels, probably having become tired of their predatory life, applied, through their chief Yip, for pardon at the hands of the Chinese Government, promising that if their Noon-English Mall leaves for Posts request was granted they would become

That no attack upon Canton is appra hended is clearly enough evidenced by the fact that no preparations for the de fence of that place are being made. Each of the native newspapers in this Colony keeps a reporter at Canton, and not one of them has reported anything unusual in the aspect of military affairs in that City. In fact it is a little singular that the Cantonese know nothing themselves of the imminent danger in which their > city is placed, all their news coming from Hongkong, and, we fancy, from the office of our morning contemporary. It is far more likely, under present circum- stances, that troops will be despatched from Canton to quell the insurrection, than that an attack will be made by in- surgents on that City. Unless they are joined by the "Black and Yellow Flag
