Thanks for your expression OF salts
faction on the part of the government
cannot too warmly prnise the officers
and crews. The operations in Min
river are concluded. They were attend
ed with complete success. All the bat
teries along the river are destroyed and
most Of the cannon exploded with gun
cotton. We were obliged to leave some
intact because the men, in order to reach
them, would have been exposed to
heavy musketry fire to which
no reply was possible. All
our ships left Min river to day and sew
eral have already reached Malson Au-
chorage. Shall arrive there tomorrow
with Dugay and the Trouin. The latter
has served as my flagship ever since
Monday. Our losses during tho week
were ten killed, including one officer, and
thirteen seriously and twenty eight
slightly wounded. In the Mingin aud
Kahn Pal channels were several case
mated batteries. two of these clad from
twelve to thirty centimeters thick with
plates of sheet iron rolled together. The
calibres of the Chinese guns ranged from
fourteen to twenty-one centimeters.

hours after the Chinese vessels had ceas-
ed, is cause for this intense excitement
against Europeans.
