The EaHt India Squadron.
The Navy Department to-day received des
patches from Adiug Rear-Admirfl Bell, com.
Branding the Bast India Squadron, dated Hong
Kongr, April 28, in whichhetays: The Wyoming
had visited Ningpo and Shanghai, and was at
tire latter place on Uie 18th of that month.. Ou
the 3d of April the Admiral proceeded with his
ship, and the h'eUef&nd the Wachusell, up the
Canton river, kud having anchored the two
former vessels at Wbampoa, the latter was
directed to anchor off the city of Canton, which
has been known hitherto as the most truculent
city ot all China, and on the Cth he went up to
that city, and having hoisted his flag on board
the Ylchusel(, requested an interview with the
Governor-General of the two quarantine pro
vinces, in order to satisfy his own eyes that the
United Males have re estabhshed their naval
squadron on that coast, though in peace and
good-will, as he said, to warn the Chinese wbo
had honorably maintained their neutrality
during the late Rebe llion in our country.
His Excellency manifested the bft disposi
tion towards our country and countrymen, aud
returned the Admiral's visit on board the
Wacliuselt, although it rained heavily all the
time, seeming much Interested in her arma
ment. He was gratified to ob.erve that the
people of Canton, and the high officials also,
have materially changed their arrogant de
meanor towards foreigners since he saw them
last, in 1858, to a respectful and even friendly
deportment.
The Admiral says he returned in the Hartford
on the 12th of April to Hong Kong, and there
received intelligence of a rupture between the
United Stales Consul at Nlenchwong, situate in
the northern part of the Gulf of Pechelo, and
the inhabitants thereof. lie called the Wa
chusell from Canton, and despatched her on
the 18th, under Commander Townseud, with
instructions to proceed to that port, and inquire
in io the facts of the case, and to give the neces
sary ptotection. On bk way thither he wus to
touch at Shanghai, and confer with the United
States Cousul-General, Mr. Seward, and extend
to him such facilities as were convenient to Com
mander Townsend. Returning he will touch at
all the open port?.
The Heluf, from Wham poa, anchored at Hong
Kong on the 28th of April. The crews of the
several vessels of the squadron are In good con
dition. Def-patches have also been received from Act
ing Rear-Admiral Godon, commanding the
Squadron on the coast of" Brazil. They are
dated May 18.
The KanvaB, he suy?, has returned h-oni a suc
cessful trip to the Falkland Islands, and will
leave in a few days for Buenos Ay res. The

Catherine's to attend to some small matters con
nected with desertersjfiom our merchant vessels,
who are induced to enter the Brazilian service
by offers of high bounty. The Daoolah left for
the raclflc early ia May.
The Admiral says: "W passed going up and
down tbe Uruguay river, at anchor near the
small towns and iladeros along Its buk, not
less than seventy or eighty vessels, English,
French, Dutch, and Italian, but not one
American.
"In fact, few Americans are to be mrtw'th
anywhere on the river. Our four years of war
ill account for this. I hop the enterprising
spirit of our people will soon chauge thU state
of things, as th trade must bn very praiitable,
and no doubt a 1nrsr part of the produce from
the river reaches our ports in i reign bottoms.''
