a new steam-propeller of 415 tons, fine model & superior sailing qualities. This vessel carries three heavy guns—one amid-ships, a gun: the 32-pounder at the bows, and another 32-pounder at the stern. She is owned by M. Rott B. Forbes of Boston and cleared for Hongkong the 14th inst. in Coal and Ballast. Her proportions are as follows : Length 1557/10 feet, Breadth 267/10 feet, Depth of Hold 105/10 feet.
I have ascertained from the Collector of Customs that both these Vessels have been placed by him under Bonds of $50,000 each that they shall not be used for hostile purposes against any Power at peace with the United States; but I consider it my duty to report the matter to y. e. as it seems not improbable that these vessels may be intended to be sold on their arrival in the China Seas.
