The Vioctor is deeply canceraod at the fur affairs have taken, and very sixion for tho future, Ha disavove all compity on the part of China in the Ingson indirent as far as he knows or is consecund; but it is beliored, and a doubt this is the real truth, that the Yamen inspired by Tro Tanag-tang, sent the order over Ly's band and without either his knowlodge or consent. What the plot of the contr varer will do I scorealy, like to predict, bat. Li Jay he food to throw himself into the hands of the War Party, in which case I oan segnothing int anarchy and possible ruin. The Gorman nud Russian representatives are ansturaly neutral; the American Minister is believed to be urging roase, and Bir Harry Parks is absent, owing to free, at the Hills, so that the negotiations will not have the assistance of his audi and daring mind.
