Extract of a Letter from on board the Madagascar steamer.
Capsingmoon Bay (China), June 18.
" I write a few hasty lines to say that we arrived here,
being the first of the fleet who sailed from Singapore two
days before us, but we are now hourly expecting them.
The arrival of the steamer excited great sensation among
the Chinese, and they were quite astonished when
the vessel was under way, steaming in. The nu-
merous boats here in the water veil) crowded to ex-
cess with men, women, and children, to have a sight of
the fire-ship, as they call us. The Mandarins sent some
fire-ships down among the sips, which did not cause any
damage, and we expect another batch down shortly. From
information obtained here, there are are some more be.nl
prepared. The Chinese at this place supply us with bul-
locks, fo.vls, and ducks. Upon the whole, we are not so
badly off. There are several other vessels here, opium
smugglers; and upon the east coast ten or eleven more.
Tae drug is in great demand, selling upon the coast from
600 t) 800 dollars per chest. The Chinese smug :ling
boats come here and purchase opium at all risks. They
are fortifying the Bogue. It is reported here that they
are willing to pay for the opium seized by Commis,ioner
Lin ; but this is mere report. Matters are now daily
coming to a nearer crisis."
