THE CHINESE REBELLION.
Hong Kong, August 19, The bulk of the Chinese Army defies the authority of the Pekin officials, and the Government are reported to be paralysed. The Rev. Mr Gray, an English missionary, has been nearly murdered at Kerin.
Pekin, Aug. 19, The Emperor of China refrains from yielding to the European pressure because he is doubtful of the loyalty of the provinces, and a movement against his rebellious subjects may imperil his dynasty. New York, Aug, 19.
The New York Herald’s Shanghai correspondent says that the situation at Pekin is grave. The recent edict is a dead letter. The Province of Hunan is the centre of disaffection, whence the present trouble is being stirred up. High officials are in favor of a pure-bred Chinaman being elected Emperor and the present Tartar dynasty expelled. There are twenty foreign warships in the Yang-tse-Kiang, and only a demonstration in force will procure redress.
