Your correspondent. has been. informed thatthe report of the anxiety among the soldiers here to know. who is to be their master is baseless. The. information came through Chinese acquaintances, but as this Jater information comes from a more reliable source, I hasten to make the correction. The original statement had no refereuce.to the Forts, They are under efficient foreign control; and the men have imbibed much of the spirit of faithfulness and order displayed by their instructors.
