The rebel forces amounted to 40,000. The communication between the Canton authorities and foreign nations was in an unsettled state. The British colours had not been displayed since the dispute between the Company's factory and the Chinese first took place in May 1831; and the United States' flag had not been displayed in front of the American Hong since the 1st of June. The Consular Agent of that country left China some time since, and a successor had not been appointed. MARRIAGES, And DEATHS. Married.'--At St Pancras, by the Rev. P.
