Quitman states, ‘after some pause,” or hesitation, ress myself in such manner a8 to induce the be- that I was in favor of the negotiation. He doubt- leas gives the impression made upon his mind in his own langnage; but the position I took was about this—that though a ht nal a posed measures were et L supposed seyein to them, we were ehoosia ¢ least of evils, t, at the meeting of general officers I was under- stood as fying the measure TA AOD, I have never denied.

But I did not permit myself to remain in this false position; for early next morning I went tu Gen. ‘Seott—told him my original opinions were unchanged —and opposed the whole matter with so much warmth aud earnestness that he thanked me for the ly manner in which I expressed myself, and said he would abandon the whole negotiation; and after- wards did read me from the book into which the original bad been copied, a letter intended to relieve himeelf from the part he had borne in the matter. ‘Bhough I do not now remember to have said to Gen.

In the situation in which I was Pete, that was the only course left me. Neither jeneral Quitman, nor any other officor at that meet- ing (except General Scott), had any kugwledge of my connection with that mission. General tt, however, did know it; and I indignantly repel the meet made by Genernl Hitchcock, and repeat- ed by General Scott, of being a “ spy upon General Scott, or Mr. Trist,” as a base slander. How could Ihave been called to the private conference with Mr.Tristand General Scott, and consulted about these very negotiations, without General Scott knowing my co! with this mission, and the relations I bore to the government? Why was I imvited to it, if Iwas not known to occupy “semi- official relations with Mr. Trist?” Knowing these facts, what right has he to say I “was aspy upon him and Mr. 2” The statement is untrue, and ‘the facts stated clearly prove that he knew it to be untrue when he made it. In my address I stated that I the armis- ee ob as ee oe eed tae LK Gen. was upon and c: into Puebla negotiat e His reference to the ont ef Gen. man, that I sanctioned his views at the meeting of general officers, was intended to discredit my statement of opposition to the armistice. One of his charges against me, which was invest be- gore the Court of Inquiry, was, that I was in favor of this armistice before it was granted, and 0 to it afterwards. He vainly sought to estal this ebarge by proof. Atthe very time he made this t me, he had in jon a written note from me, (delivered to him by Gen. Pierce, one ef the Commissioners,) in which I urged him, as modestly as I could, and in language a& little offe sive to his feelings as possible, not to grant the ai mistice without the surrender of the city; and in any event, and at all hazards, to require the surrender of Chapultepec.

Scott, in his second card, says:— The Mexican newspapers, I learn, have recently been Miied with notices of Gen. Piilow’s denunciation of Santa ‘Anna, mixed up with the ingniry, “Who js the most infa- mous, he who receives the bribe, of the functionary who, of bis own and his country’s honor, ducloses 2 ey the name of the traitor?’ Gen. Scott has entirely misapprehended the arti- cles in the Mexican newspapers. Their inquiry is— ‘Who is most infamous, be who receives the bribe, or the func! who. in violation of his own agd his coun- try’s bonor, administers it? : The answer to this inquiry, by the casusist, would be ae iy were equally ne ae In ued eye of w ti are equally guilty, woul bath be punished as felons. The misapprebension, however, of the inquiry of the Mexican newspapers, on the part of Generaf Scott, is a very natural one, entertaining the opinion he did, (as proven by Gen: eral Quitman,) that it was both “moral” and “right” to resort to the use of bribes to effect so great a good as procuring a # a special commissioner, associated with Mr. ‘Trist, confided in by my government, and required to report everything which I disapproved, it was my duty to report these corrupt proceedings of General Sertt and Mr. Trist; and I aid 80. For performing that duty, General Scott arrested me, under a false pretext; preferred false charges against me; found witnesses who perjured themselves to sustain his charges and disgrace me, and thereby conceal his corrupt conduct from the world; and now, after the lapse of many years, for daring to expose to the country the motives which actuated him and his toola, in their relentless pereecution of me, at the close of that war, he and his corrupt wit- nesses, (the general,) revive and reiterate their old fi charges; and he, as ready with ‘certificates wpon honor” as his witness ' with notes written at the time,” thrusta himself before the American people, and “ certifies, ‘upon honor,” to what gentlemen of the most unini- hable character prove to be false. Nay, more 80 far forgets what is due to his own position, and to the decencies of life, that, in his second card, he makes the following tissue of false and scandalous charges against the jate pure and Illustrious chief magistrate of the nation, who departed this life eovered with honor, and the achievements of whose admwistration are the brightest upon the annals the country : Gen. Pillow speaks feetingly of « the great and patriotic gtatesman who was e st ‘chief magistrate of the na- ton,’ his sometime law ner, who had made hima ir General; the same who, early in the war, sent for me, and in the kindest and most beseeching manner goti- cited my pereoval waar - ig 4 ~ ene ‘A peace, prom me entire cont cod vappemg: the santo who, efore I bad reached Mexico, endeavored first to appoint a Lieutenant General to super: sede me; and failing in that, next thought of placing me nader the same party, appointed a Major General (and of course), my junior; the same who, it turns out, ap jointed General Pitow ® spy on the conduct of Mr. Trist and myself; and the same ‘ great and patriotic states man’ who, having failed in nearly every promise he had made me: inaily, when the war had been ended, released from arrest three officers who had bee y against me; restored them, w y oded me in the command of the army ih Mox'co, red the three conspiratore and myself equally It so happened tuas only wien. * | charges before the court, of whi Pillow’s conduct was directly investigated by that court; Dut ita same three members were contidentially instructed from Warhington— no doubt at the instance of the spy—to organize themselves into a new court of to inves- tigate secretly that of my conduct relating to the council of war held July 17, , at Puebla, for the pur- Peete nllened, of Paz @ peace, and which council ares 60 largely in Gen.

A word more. Two meimbersof that famous court were breveted—one a major general, without other connection with the Mexican war; und the other a brigadior, profes- nedly for some slight service at Buena Vista, and af- ter their attempt to whitewash Gen. Pillow and browbeat me as the prosecutor in that case, WINFIELD SCOTT. Was there ever utterred a more infamous libel upon the memory of the dead? But, not content with pouring his calumnies upon the memory of President Polk, whose charity for his infirmities of character saved him from a prosecu- tion and trial upon charges for a violation of the laws of his country, preferred bil’ him by my- self, (now on the file in the War Office at Washing- ton, depending upon record evidence from which he could not have nm relieved by tis willing and ready witnesses,) and for conviction upon which he we have forfeited his commission ; not content, I say, with pouring his calumnies on the illustrious dead, to whom he was so much indebted, he tears open the graves of the brave and gallant Generals ‘owson and Belknap, and endeavors to strip them of the honors won upon many ght es battle- fields of their country, b; bam ps diigo indirectly, with corruption as members it court, and of being rewarded with brevets by a corrupt President, for their services in “whitewashing General Pillow, and brow-beattng me (bim) as prosecutor in that case. Nor does he stop here; for in the blindness of his rage he blends in one common charge the gallant and chivalrous Worth, the bsave and highly distin- guished Duncan and wyeelf, as “conspirators against him.” These two dead heroes and myself, he saya, were engaged in a conspiracy against him in Mexico, were onder arrest, were, of course, “his pri- sovers,”’ and because the President would not sw him, tyrant-like, to hold his iron heel upon their necks longer than ninety days, but released them from arrest, suspended him'from commond of an army he had disorganized, and ordered his charge and the charges preferred against him to be investi- gated, his indignation burst forth with consuming rage, now that the President, and Worth, and Dun- can, and Towson, and Belknap are all dead. If Worth, Duncan and myself were conspirators ainst him, why did he voluntarily abandon the charges against Worth and Duncan? Why did he ones twabandon the charges against me and re- se to pi ute the case until I applied for and ob- tain r from the court compelling him to prosecute and make good his charges, or publicly to acknowledge that they were false.

Such an offic “conspirator” against his commanding General! Brillant as have been General Soott’s achieve- ments, and distinguished as he stands before the | country, it may well be questioned if a few more cards, tilled with ‘certificates upon honor,” and cajumnies upon the distingwished dead, would not cause his “sun of glory” to set in shame and dishonor. Certainly the impartial historian who shall justl, weigh his achievements, on one hand, and bis waut of the cardine! virtues, of truth and justice, his jealousy 61 heart, his want of practical judgment, his telfishness, exasperation of temper, and tyrannical conduct on the other, will find it difficultto make of Gen, Scott a great and good man. places him, J am content to leave him; but hi is, or should be, the mirror of truth. If history il reflect jastly his trne character, he will be found wanting in the virtues of the Christian character which constitute true greatness, Between these aud Gen.

Puncan, | will give the trae of the Chalco movements, with the reasons for ir arrest, &c.; and I may give the “secret history” of the battle of Molino del Rey, where there was a useless sacrifice of the lives and blood of upwards of 800 brave men, under information im to the commanding General by a —-— “ ly neutral.” As these dead Cy gg cannot now defend themselves against this new charge of their old a ape uutor, I, their associate in crime, will defend heir reputations before the American le, as 1 advised them to do when living, the old ich tl gallant old hero, Gen. Towson, was President. Neither the conduct nor memory of President Polk needs any defence at my hands. Time has vindicated the wisdom of his policy— truth, the purity of his life. The glorious achieve- ments of our arms, in the war with Mexico, belong to his administration: and our vast Pacific and inter- mediate interior jons constitute a monument upon which his greatness is written, higher than the vandal hands of modern calumniators can reach, and so deeply and indelibly engraven that neither time nor the elements under man’s control can ef- face.

Information has reached us igh Chinese sources that the Russians are collecting a large fleet in the Amoor, and that the letter transmitted to Pe- king by H. E, Count Poutiatine, as mentioned in our No. 371, contained an offer from the Emperor of Russia to put down the Chinese rebellion, by furnish- ing troops, provisions, &c., on condition that the Emperor of China would cede to Russia the provinces of Kirin and Helungkwang in Manchuria, and an- otker province, supposed to be Shing-king. The possession of the two former would connect the Russian dominions with the seaboard, the west- ern border of the first named being on the Russian empire, and the eastern boundary of Kirin being the Gulf of Tartary. ‘ Our informant places it reliance on the credi- bility of the story, and there is so much of proba- bility in it that ‘it deserves attention. It is said, however, that the Emperor of China has refused the offer. A large number of foreign veseels, principally Ame- rican, carry on trade between the west coast of Ame- rica and the Amoor, to which place they carry large supplies of provisions. We would like to know why our men of war do not occasionally visit those regions, and rcport the state of affairs, politically and com- mercially. [From the Hong Kong Pres, Oct. 27.] The United States squadron, sent out to support the negotiations of the newly appointed envoy, Mr. Reed, will consist of the steamers Minnesota, Mis- sissippi, and San Jacinto, with the sailing ships Ger- mantown, Vincennes, Portsmouth and Levant—not a single steam tender, gun boat, or vessel adapted for river work. We are at a loss to comprehend the ae i? object of equipping such a fleet. If that the United States government can do, ter had much better have not augmented their naval force on the station—and they could do better they should have done so, for the force above described is so insignificant when compared with the British squadron, or even the French, that if it be meant to enforce treaty rights, or to impress the Chinese with an idea of their na tional importance, it will not only fail in its poy we, but have a directl; Se mes tendeney.

The conse- quences of such a result wot be most serious to contemplate—it could not be adopted without em- bracing Yeh’s views and espousing his cause, a con- tingency that we feel assured rey true American would recoil from with disdain. If that would not be “ “entangling alliance” we don’t know what woul We should have supposed that the paucity of force at Commodore Armstrong's command last Decem- per, and the unsuitable nature of it, compelling him, as it did, to leave his countrymen and their property to chance and to British men of war, would have served as a lesson to the United States government, but it seems to have been lost upon them. We can only regret that matters are so, and if we are not much mistaken the whole American community in China take the same view of the case as we do. [From the London Shipping Gazette, Dec. 18) Whe Chinese papers received by the last Overland mail, and the te corres} nee from thence, add confirmat to the opinions and remarks on the state of affairs in China which we made last week. Russia, as usual, is playing a deep game, keeping the Chinese Court advised of our movements and course of operatious, and offering aid, to serve her own purposes. Thus the London Times’ correspon- dent, who has just returned to Hong Kong from the Northern porte, and appears to be well informed on matters of local interest, states “that the two gov- ernments are upon the most friendly terms,” and “the Chinese are quite alive to every point of the game they are now playing, and they are dis- posed to ‘avail themselves of Russia.” A Chi- nese envoy has just returned from the Court of Russia, and the Russians have been to Tiensin, while the Russian Admiral has been pay: ing visits to Shanghae and the mouth of the Perho, active Ra: Minister, Count Pontiatine, is very energetic in the Chinese waters. He had sent home, by the last steamer, M. Wolowski, an attaché of his mission, with despatches to St. Petersburg, and had gone in his war steamer, the America, on a visit to Japan, and was expected back at Shanghae, where a messenger, with advices from the Amoor river, was waiting for him. A large number of for- eign vessels, principally American, are carrying on trade between the west coast of America and the Amoor, to which place they convey coals and provi sions. Great advantages will be gained by Siberia and the Amoor country by this new route, instead of the tedious and expensive land carriage formerly carried on through Russi In the words of the Hong Kong journal, we should be glad to hear that, concurrently with the vij us movements of Russia in the far Ea-t, France formed a perma- nent establishment in Corea, and resumed at the same time her rights in Cochin China, while Eng- land and America might plant the ensigns of order respectively in Chusan and Formosa, as shelters for the shipwrecked and beacons for the benighted. Possing from Rossian movements we may allude to the arranged operations in the South. The next mai} may probably bring us details of the attack ap- on Canton. intended force is assembling in large numbers. We have already upwards of 500 ns in the Chinese waters. Of the fleet of gun- Boats fifteen had arrived of the twenty-four, and the remaining nine, with the commander of the fleet, were daily expected at Hong Kong. The Imperader, from iymouth, with 550 ma- rines, had just arrived, while an equal number were also looked for in the Imperatrix; so that the Ad- miral would have a strong ar efliclent force at his command. A seven days’ excursion bad been made by the steamers throngh the creeks and channels between Canton and Macao, adding something to the previously acquired knowledge of the hydro- hy. Posies the British force, the French have vessels moupting 200 guns, of which four are gunboats, and there are two American slooj -war, besides the Commodore's steamer, carrying in ail forty-seven guns, With such a foreign force threatening, the ts are not very bright for the Chinese in the Roath, although - Mandarins of oe = ressing evel ink and river passage-| they Ponld get fd of into their service for the purpose of carrying soldiers to guard and defend. at the internal dep and the rebellion occupy a large share of attention of the Chinese native reporters in the Friend of China. At the present time the province of Kwang tung ie in fested on the north west by the Hung rebels, on the sonth by the Hakabs,and in the Canton river by the English navy. The Kwang si province ejoining on the west tine become the Hungs’; the Kiang si province adjoining oo the north-east also belongs to the Nanking party ; and dis- tricts of the Kwang.tung province, both at # distance sad near at hand, are without the means of protection and sal- vation. If Canton is not lost this Year to the Hungs, it wil} fall to the foreigners. These and ofher facta stated of like tenor, augur but ill enecesa to the Emperor's forces, as well as to the stability of his throne. We are inclined to believe, with the Times cor- indent, that when we have settied our difference with the Cantonese, the seene of action will be re- moved to the northern yee Whatever may be the result of our operations against Canton, our occupancy of it will not facili- tate our future negotiations. We cannot carry the war home closer to the head-quarters of the empire. We cannot march inland with the small military force we have at command but we might make a very respectable demonstration by sea in the nor- therm ports. ‘The migratory spirit has taken root in China. They have been travellers, and have opened up for them- selves new fields of industry and wealth in India, Australia, California, and other lecalities. There is no reason, therefore, with the just appreciation of our power, our wealth and our trade, that we should not be placed on an equal footing in diplomacy with other nations. If Russia be permitted to have its political mission at Pekin—if its envoys go and come without let or hindrance at the capital—look- ing at the extent of our trade with China, we have a i og) to demand and to enforce equal privileges. If the Russians may visit in, we can earely do so too. Let our fleet show itself in the Pei-ho river, and the menace will, we believe, suffice to bring the to reason, and to settle for some time ovr ition in China. {From the Czar of Cracow, Dec. 6.} The above named paper, in an article an the quar- rel existing betwean the Western Powers and China, expresses the opinion that Russia will endeavor to derive advantages from it by putting herself forward as mediatrix; and that even if she employs hostili- ties against China she will do so isolatedly, in order to be able to treat apart and obtain the greatest ad vantage possible for herself, The Czas remarks that, by the d'armee which she maintains on the frontiers of China, and the relations she has in Great Mongolia, she is in a better position with regard to China than the Western Powers, and that that posi- tion will be better still, if, as expected, the Emperor of China should retire to Mantchouria, in order not to receive the Western ambassadors. The Czas states that before the conflict between China and England had arisen, Russia had offered the Chinese Emperor a body of troops to assist _in quelling the rebellion. It adds that General Korsakeff, com- mander of the Russian troops on the Chinese fron- tier, and General Mouravieff, Governor of Eastern Siberia, have been summoned to St. Petersburg to concert on the line of action to be followed; and that a frigate and six screw corvettes have been sent to reinforce the Russian squadron of the Pacific ocean. {Berlin (Dec. 19) correspondence of the London Times. } ‘The Russians are likely to be‘not a little annoyed at the last news that has been received from China, showing our very probable resumption of operat against Canton, even though with a force which, until the late feats of British bravery in the East Indies were performed, would have been thought wholly insuflicient; and the possibility of our exert- ing a stringeyt pressure on the government at Pekin through the medium found 80 peiant in Parliament, viz., stopping the supplies, For a bog time past the Russian jourmls have been constantly recurring to the abortiveness of Lord Elgin’s mission to China, from the circumstance of his military force laying been diverted to India. ‘They endeavor to show tha: England could not do better than admit Russia to co-operate with her in coercing this stubborn, effete old empire into intercourse with the West, and that with the united forces of the two countries con- centrated on the Celostial Empire a better result might be expected than that obtainéd in the last war between ey and China, when the fatter got off, with the loss only of an island and a few millions, The position of Russia as operating upon the northwest land frontier and on the northeast seaboard of China, is particularly favorable, they say, for making a joint attack upon China effective and decisive, reckoning, as they do, that the vessels they have lately sent round from Cronstadt to the Pacific ocean will arrive at their cruising ground by the time we can find ourselves in a position to detach troops thither from the suppression of the Indian mutiny. Another ground put forward to enforce the ‘peculiar desirableness of Russia's co-operation is rather difficult to appreciate. It is said that, as the United will necessarily par- ticipate in this common campaign against the Celestials, Russia’s co-operation is so desira- ble because she standss on such an exeel- lent footing with America (!), which it cannot be said that England does (7). The latest bright notion on the eubject has been started by the /n- valide, which bases more sanguine expectations of the efficacy of France's operations inst China than of England's, Russia’s or America’s, on the cir- cumstance that while the latter are moved hereto only commercial considerations, France will carry on a religious war to avenge the cruel murder of a French mi ry. The furtherargument used by the Russians in favor of a co-operation on their part is that it will require very little effort on the part of Russia to annex a large portion of the Mon- gol territory, as soon as the war has been declared against China, and thus effect a valuable diversion in the north, while we attack in the south. To this it may easily be answered, that if Russia finds it worth her while to annex the territory she ean do so by herself, but that there is no reason why we should help her to do it. You are already aware that Admiral Putiatin, not having found it feasible to approach the Court of Pekin overland from Russia, left Irkatsk, passed down the Amoor, and proceeded to make his over- tures to the Chinese Emperor in a very pacific man- ner from the port of Shanghae. On October 8 the Admiral left that port for Nangasaki, on board the America, after having sent off his despatches to Rus- sia by M. Wolowski, who was to travel to Europe by the overland route. It is presumed that these despatches announced the failure of his mission from the refusal of the Pekin gevernment to receive any foreign mission in that capital. Shortly after the Admiral's departure for Japan a Hamburg vessel Oscar, with a cargo of coals from the Amoor, brought fresh despatches for him to Shanghae. Among the Chinese in th's latter port the report was current, at the time of the last advices from there, that the Admiral had brought the Emperor Hiensung a letter from his Imperial master, offering him to put down the rebellion in the Celestial dominions, but stipulating for a portion of the Mantchourian terri- tory as a compensation for the service, and that the Chinese Emperor had declined the offer. The worst feature of this report is that it has very often been current before, and has never as yet verilied itself as Sgepes of any foundation in fact. As little proba- le is another statement, that has, however, found credence in Paris, to the effect that the court of Pekin has summoned the Russian government in a yery peremptory tone to evacuate the territory the ter has taken possession of at the mouth of the ‘moor, The failure of the Putiatin mission has ex- cited the wrath of most of the St. Petersburg journals | to a high degree, and the Northern Bee more partica- | larly has of late tulminated very furiously against John Chinaman, by way of pteparing the nation for | news of aggressive measures having been taken | against him. Jt said lately, among other things: China is too extensive an empire to admit of its con- tinuing any longer to lead an isolated existence, shut out from all itercourse even with those States which, by means of their commercial organization (Koglend) aud their conterminous vicinity (Russia,) have the strongest claims to epter into relations with ber. The spirit of European enterprise ories aloud aud demands that she should approach the circle in which it reigns. The dignity and the power of civilized States cannot be any longer in- | different to the obetivate refusals of the Court of Pekin to enter into any species of relation with Europe and Ame- rica; the less #0, as Japan, in obedience to better im- pulses, and without anyfparticular meaos of coercion being employed, had already dove 0. Ac-ording t the most | recent intelligence, China abides by ber obstinacy, and therefcre it will be po matter of surprise if China ‘should shortly become the theatre of remarkable events of the highest interest to urope. This last was written before the contents of the | last letters from Hong Kong could have been known | in St. Petersburg, and I certainly had no reference to a resumption of operations by a British force. pe (Dee, 20) correspondence of London Times.) in the first half of November General Mouravieff, Governor General of Eastern Sib arrived in St. Petersburg; he had only in the previous September returned to Irkutsk from a lon fare of inspee- tionin the district beyond the Baikal lake, and let- ters from Irkutsk state distinctly that his visit tot. Petersburg concerned important official matters con- nected with his post of Governor General of East Siberia. The civil and military arrangemenis of that district had formed the subject of the Gene- ral's conferences at the Home Office during his visit to St. Petersburg last year, and if, therefore, the fur- ther developement of a military organization along the lately annexed territory of the Amoor were among the subjects of his consultations this year also, as we are told it was, we may safely conclude that commercial and frontier arrangements never theless occupied a prominent ition in them soe ney oe Oe ee in assuming that the two main objects of the recent journey of inspection in the Amoor territory and the subject of the anbse- quent conferences in St. Petersburg were the open- ing up of commercial intercourse with America by means of the Amoor, and the fixing definitively the course of action to be observed in the approachiny annexation of a large portion of the Mongol tert tory as soon as hostilities shall break out with Chi- na. What great facilities there are for such an an- nexation I showed in my yesterday's letter. A few weeks after General Mouraviefl’s arrival im St. Pe- —— we read of his having obtained a short leave of absence for a journey abroad; and since | then, I think, we heard of his arrival in Paris, which, if correct, will be highly noteworthy, when taken in connection with the aspirations we hear and read of ,in the press of French co-operation ina geneyal at- tack upon the Chinese. Towards the close of the month of November there also arrived in St. Petersburg General Korsa- koff, the Feldahaman of the Transbaikal Cossack force, and this visit, like that of the abovementioned General Mouravieft, was understood also to have re- ference to the coming eventnalities on the southern frontier of the Transbaikal district. Taking the above in connection with the contents of my yester- day's letter and the line of argument adopted in the very frequent articles on Chinese and Fast Indian matters to be found now in the Russian press, there can be bat little doubt that Russia is meditating a stroke against China—either an armed one, in co- operation with one or more of the great Powers, or a quiet [ed of annexation all by herself. z iteng. “— Be = St. Petersturger | Lei blished in reply to your recent re- | marks about the inevitable pategenion of England | ry in Asia, it is aaid :— While we readily and willingly resognize England's rightful claim to out her historical Intesion in South ern Asia, we maiMtain equally firmly that Northern Asia has been made over to Russia's hands. Russia bas, how ever, in Northern Asia an incomparably more difficult | task to accomplish than England in Southern Asia. Sibe- ria is @ giant that les muscle-bound in a trance, wove pulse hardly beats, whose breath is hardly drawn, but whose enormous val powers are awaiting only the mo- ment of waking. The time is now come for us to procesd pret eng Gd work, and call into existence the life that everyone yearning for. On the whole long frontier of South Siberia, from the Ural to the Pacific Ocean, we must have good, safe of communication that shall open The warto blood and | of the ample to the cold, sti py 80 that thie partof the world may also besone scat of prosperity and civilization, This vision of prosperity and civilization to be conferred on Siberia is justified, to a considera- ble extent, by the progress already made. At the close of last year, postal stations had been erected all along the whole line of the Amoor, from Strelotech naia to Nicholaieff, in which latter place the tink ling of the bell on the post telega was heard for the first time in November of last year, when General Kegakewitech passed through there with certain officers of his staf to an inspection of troops at Marinisk. in that same month an American ship, the Enropa, arrived at Nicholaieff (the military station at the mouth of the Amoor, not to be con- founded with the Nicholaieff, or? ship-building arsenal on the river Bog). having on board two iron steamers in pieces, which were put together in that town during the winter, and were named after two rivers in Siberia, Amoor and Lena. The former has 66 horse power, the latter 35, and draws only 3} feet Water, 80 that she can ascend the Amooras far as Ust-Strelotachnaia, To these two have been added two other steamers from a building yard at Schilka. On its first trip up the stream in uly last the Lena conveyed passengers and goods in 30 days up as far as Ust-Strelotsehnaia, the point of confluence of the two rivers which subsequently bear the name of Amoor; but it was confidently trusted that when they were more familiar with the navigation of the stream they would Vonye gre the trip in considerably less time. We hear of the Amoor steamer being, Sep tember 2, at the mouth of the Zeja, a tributary of the Amoor, unable to proceed further up for want of water, and having on board 4,350 sable skins, vary- ing in value from six to nine silver roubles (a real sable for 18s, to 274.,) and fourteen gray fox skins at fifteen silver roubles a piece. In Nicholaieff there had arrived up to July 15 two vessels from Boston, two from Hong Kong and two from San Francisco, with goods to the value of 382,090 silver roubles, Some Cs pom vessels were also expected. In Ajan there had entered five vessels, and six had cleared out. The prices of all sorts of goods, which former! had been excessively high in Nicholaieff, had “ie very much in consequence of the ample supplies brought by these vessels; for instance, sugar Tetehed onlynine silver roubles lites pood of 40 Ibs., while in yeas the same quantity cost twenty-four silver roubles.
