The following news of the Russians at Port Arthur, dated the 29th ult., will be read with general interest It is not accurate ty say that the Russians have taken Port Arthur. Russian ships are here, one in dock coaling, one anchored in the harbour, two anchored outside, and two at Talienwan. Three altogether hi coaled here; they are encroaching little by Tittle; at first they couled from outside, but now they yo inside and have also anchored in the harbour. The Russian Admiral told the Chinese General here to put all the Chinese meu-of-war, of which there are only four, in the mouth of the harbour, as the En.lish were coming with a fleet to take Port Arthur id this: advice was followed. H.M.S. Daphne came in a day or two after this just to see what the Russians were doing, stayed only three hours, and went away again, and there has been no other Engtish man-of-war here until the arrival to-day of the Tinmortalité and Iphigenia, 'The Russians have one vessel in the dockyard' here being repaired by the Chinese workmen. They are sounding all round the harbour, and putting out marks, All telegrams they" send through the Chinese General here, but the Russian Military Attuché came here the other day ina small boat, and went back again to Chefow; he returned yesterday by the Peiping, which called in here on purpose to land him, and he is still here, but so far_no Russian soldiers have arrived here. The Russian naval officers are very friendly with the Chinese, constantly inviting and entertaining them on board the Russian ships; but I fancy the Chinese see through this profuse courtesy.
an Englishman goes on shore, he is shadowed everywhere by Russian officers. 'A China Merchunts' steamer called in here the other day, and two of her passengers came on shore for a stroll; they were followed everywhere by two Russian oticers until they returned on board their vessel. The Russians tried to got the Chinese -General to issue an order that. no Englishmen would be permitted to land here. I forgot to mention that the Russians are surveying Talienwan, with the reported intention of making that their winter anchorage, but there are no signs of their Teaving here yet.
