From the Cincinnati Gazette, May l1th.
. NEWS OF THE DAY.

We have great quantity Of report,
this morning from the army Of the Poto.
mac, but very little that is really new.
The Eastern papers OF Saturday even
ing and Yesterday morning are occu,
pied chiefly in discussing the rumored
capture OF Richmond. and some Of them
have succeeded, by argument, in get.
ting possession of the rebel capital,
while others assert positively that il it
has not been taken, il ought to have
been. We regret. however. that we
find nothing in the dispatches published
this morning to confirm the rumor.--
The. event was a possible, if not a
probable one; and the report, there :.
fore, which obtained circulation on
Saturday evening was generally credi-
ted. II has been understood that the
force in General Dix's Department was
intended to cooperate with General
Hooker. and the latter. it is believed,
might have moved successfully against
Richmond from Fortress Monroe; but
dispatch dated at the latter place on
Friday states that General Dix had re-
turned from York River. It is true
that bis forces might have moved under
some ether General. But then II news
Of the capture Of Richmond had
reached Washington Saturday, we
should have heard OF it before this
time. 1t is not worth while. therefore.
to spend time talking about the rumor
that has caused so much excitement.
~The Quebec Chronicle says
that fifteen regiments have been or
dered out from England in consequence
Of Minister Adams having notified the
English Government that. in case the
:rou-elads now building in English ship
yards for the Chinese we're allowed TO
depart. he would consider il equal to 9
declaration Of war. Itsbould be borne
in mind that the Emperor of China is
said to have ordered Q number of i'm.
proved vessels Of war from British
builders Of late. but it 10 generally be.
lirved that the Emperor is JEFF DAVIS,
