The Tweed has gone down river; we hope and believe to be sold out of the service At present in port are H. M. S. Teal and the German gunboat Vorwaerts. Wo hear that the Kinsha is to risk a trip down the rapids from Chungking and is to be stationed permanently in Ichang, and everyone is glad to hex that Lieut.-Com. Duginore, at present of the Teal, has been given command of her. All the news your excellent paper can give us of the quixotic doings of the Baltic fleet is eagerly watched for and discussed, and we only wish we could receive our war nows in less than seven clys after you publish it.
