vectives levelled at Macao abuses and the general feeling of England towards For tugal, points out in a very forcible man ner the nonsensical nature of the accusa- tione brought against us, insignificant enough whether as regards their nature month-piece, and important only as tending to mislead Portuguese not in the habit of reading English journals. A great handla is of course made of the Dayspring affair, the journal in question. being apparently quite in ignorance that, in addition to that vessel being under Chinese charter, she had no more to do with Emigration" or the coolie trade than have the ordinary passenger ships between this and Great Britain. While all subjects of Great Britain will admire the manly and independent tone of the Echo-and its roinarks are not all Batteri ing, for it deals with Hongkong "abuses" also it is scarcely necessary for the sake of the British and foreign community of this colony to recapitulate ite guments in English. If talking nonsense about British
policy amuses the Macao journals, which are incapable of attributing a total indifference to thoir affairs to any other cause than a deep-laid plot to take possession of the peninsula, we do not seek to interfere with a literary pursuit which is, we hope, lucrative to its vota ries.
