There has been little movement among the men-of-war. On Saturday last the British flagship Centurion returned from her cruise and gun practice and went to her buoy. On the 2nd instant, the French cruiser Alyer arrived here from Foochow, and on the srd instant, the French flagship Bayard arrived from Tongking. The German gunboat Iltis arrived at Macao on the 3rd instant from Canton. I hear that the British Admiralty intend to further re-enforce the Squadron on this Station by the addition of the fine new battleship Powerful, and the cruisers Orlando and Australia.
