IN SOUTHERN CHINA.
Bogue Forts Garrison Increased. Grave Situation at Nankin (Received July 21, 8.55 a.m.) London, July 20. Li Hung Chang has added 5000 men to the Garrison of the Bogue' forts, commanding the entrance to Canton. Li Tun Vi, Viceroy of Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Ngau Whei_, whose capital is Nankin, according to a Shanghai correspondent, forbids the strengthening of the Woosung forts. The correspondent adds than in Nankin the Viceroy's authority is disregarded, and there is an insufficient guarantee of the maintenance of order north of the Yang-tse.
