WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-General Grant has finally

him to-day accepting the couresics profered by the
Administration in connection with the intended
voyage of the United States steamship Richmond to
India. China and Japan In his correspondence
with friends in this country General Grant has not
before expressed final determination TO carry out
what has always been his desire, to visit British
India
The Richmond, Captain A. r. Benham, flagship to
Rear-Admiral Patterson, commanding the Aslatic
fleet, will sail from the United States during the
present month for Singapore, touching on the way
at Point do Gale, CeylOn, and proceeding
thence to points in British India. As the
northeast mOnsoons prevail IN the China seas the
Richmond will probably also visit Bankok, at the
head of the Gulf of Siam, Batavia in Java, and
thence 90 by the Straits of Macassa to Manila and
Hong Kong and the ports of China and Japan. IN

Rear-Admiral.
