did not trouble himself TO study one single line, from

the movements Of the American squadron =
We have received from cur Singapore correspond
eDt the following details of the occurrences connected
with the investment and capture OF NaDkin by the
Chinese insurgents In my former letter was an
nounced tie fact OF Nankin being invested. and the
prevalence Of general opinion that the city would
succumb. The rebels succeeded Ill capturing, not
only Narkn nut Che kiang ioo-a city situated AT
the mouth q the grand canal at its Junction with
the utmy st CONSERVATION at Snanghae owing to the
proximity Ct tie insurgents to the city OF So0chong,
(ditant seventy miles) the capture Of which place
ouid nd the whole inland traffic by the river
and tie canals. 1t will be remembered that 500
chong is the city, the possession Of which
was deemed of SO much importance during our last
war, when the British force moved up the river
from WCCsuIg. The fall OF Maxim took place on
the 2lst Of March. Tie city remained only short
time in tie HANDS Of the insurgents. The imperial
troops, having received strong achievements, ven
tured general engagement under the direction of
General Heangyung, at Tan-yang, distant thirty
miles from Nankn, which resulted in the discount
tue OF tie rebel army, and their evacuation OF Nan
kin; but as the insurgents or revolutionary party
have made up their minds 10 hold the last mentioned
city as tie seat OF the new dynasty, they will not in
all probability be long before again contesting its
possession. The CONSERVATION which these events
las produced III the minds Of the Celestias has at
length EXTENDED to the foreign residents at Shanghae
On the eth OF April public meeting held at the
British Consulate at which, under the sanction OF Sir
George Bonham, a British volunteer corps was
enrolled for the defence and protection of British
residents The command Of the corps was entrusted
to Captain Tronson, of the Bengal Fusliers tenn
porary resident. Guns have been landed from the
chips of war, and placed near the houses Of the
foreign residents and the local volunteer militia pro-
coed very satisfactorily with their drill. The Aner-
can resident also held q meeting for the purpose Of
organizing a hCdy to assist in the defence OF the
settlement but the North China Herald says the pro-
ject was treated with much apathy, and all that
cone was the appointment OF q committee t. devise
fer combined action in case Of danger, and
tie choice OF com 1ttee men fell on Messrs Cunning
ham, WetUoie and Warden The foreign consuls
have again been pressed by the Chinese authorities
to aid their efforts by war steamers. The Herald
states that tie Taoutae in his letter to the consnls
OF the 5th April admits that during the recent Cap
ture Of Maxim the seal and off ,ial papers OF the
viceroy were lost The imperiaists aud the insur-
gents have been unsparing in posting their pro
carnations.
Sir George Bonham had returned from Ningpoo to
Shanebae, and It'll firm in his resolve to main
tain strict neutrality. The americans on the con-
hary had rcntnred to gre direct aid to the erecu
the. The armed brig Science, manned By An1eri-
cans and chartered by lie inycialists had proceeded
up tie ,irer to project Maxim, but ere reaching her
destination she grounded and became total ,creck.
Tie SusqrebanIa steam frgate made an Intellectual
attempt to reach Nankin, but owing TO the want of
water for such an immense vessel, (27O0 tons) she
was compelled to return To Shanghae. The whole
