There are rogues and vagabonds at present in Kwangal Province, however, who can hardly be said to have no em- ployment or visible means of lvlihood. The rebels are gaining ground daily, and, according to the report of our Canton cor- respondent, are likely to attack Wachow either to-day or to-morrow. What will then happen is not difficult to Imagine. They will continue their advance down the the West River, and, overcoming the towns and villages on the way will attack Canton. Whether or no Canton will fall an easy prey to them depends upon the attitude adopted by the notorious Black Flag Chief. Should he throw in his lot with ASPBERRYADE, & the Imperialists, then the rebels may be driven off, or at least prevented from cap- turing and looting Canton Olty, but.

There is a rumour car rent in Canton, and rumours, even when unsubstantiated, should never be lost sight of, to the effect that the French have hinted to the Central Government at Peking their willingness to interfere and suppress the rebellion owing to the deleterious effects it la likely to have upon French trade. This is particularly kind of France and is another proof of her goodwill (7) towards Chine, but we would much rather see any such intervention, if such be necessary, comefromthe British than from the French. It is dur interests that are threatened more than those of any other Power, and therefore, If China is to be assisted in the suppression of the rebellion that assist ance should be given by Great Britain and not by France.
