Since then there have been-two weeks oi hot, dry weather, which has further material ly reduced conditions, and the most lib eral estimate of well informed men on change' do not exceed 4 100,000,000, while many place the crop at not .over 75,000,000 bushels.

" - AMERK3AK ATTACHKO FOBCE. The fact that only the Fourteenth in- lantry and Kilev's batterv entered the city, as shown by Gen. Change's dispatch, aoefl D0C indicate that tbe iSinth infantry anu uie mannpn, wdo were so conspicu ously gallant tbrouirhout tbe advance upon the capital, did not participate in the engagement which resulted directlv in me rescue oi ine rwiegea. legataoners. It is pointed out as likel v that Gen. Chaf- lee, acting in consonance with the other commanders, divided his force, leaving toe iMnto intantry and the marines with out the walls cf the city, to act as a rear guard, to prevent the escape of Chinees troops by other gatpa than those thromrh which the allies entered, or for some oth er excellent reason. Only two battallioDs of tbe Fourteenth regiment are with Gen. CbafcVe. Thev comprise about 800 men. This would indicate that only about one-third of Gea. ChatTee's force actually had entered the city at the time he sent bis dwpatrh. Tbe fact that only e'ijbt of the American force w- wonnJed, none being killed, is regarded as notably fortunate.

It is sur rounded by a massive wall of solid ma sonry more than 20 feet high, and it is not regarded as surprising that the Chi. nese should make their final stand with in its shadows. , Prior to the receipt of the dispatch it was accepted generally as a fact that the dowager empress, In com pany with the emperor and a large suite, had left Pekin. While nothing is said in Admiral Barney's advices as to the where abouts of the emperor, it is deemed scarcely possible that he left the city without the empress dowager. Some doubt of the accuracy of the information received by Admiral Bemey is expressed, particularly as the Chinese minister, Mr. Wo, is very positive that the emperor, empress d6wager, and the entire Chined ftOlirt Iflffc Pfcin hLtnra thm .Frivol ot K Pekin before the allies.
