THE BATTLE OF AIGUN. General Gribsky telegraphed to St. Patore. burg last month the following account of the battle resulting in the capture of Aigun on August 4, which lasted from 2 in the afternoon till 10 at night. At first the Chinese made an musnccessful attempt to farn both fanks of the Russian infantry. The deformined stand made by the Chinese centre was greatly assisted by the mountainous und woody nature of the

These facts show that the prosperity of the port is more apparint than roal and does not rest on a sound basis.
The chiol hope of a future for the port lies, in my opinion, in the development of the North

THE SUPPRESSED PAPERS. There has been a talk about the revival of the Chinese newspapers lately supprised here; but I think this is not so easy, males. the parties interested can pay large squeezes. The reasons are simply these. In the rst place the Viceroy does not like the people to know too much of theTHE NORTHERN CEP-Three-quarters of a mile Value. Tla. 150.
