MACAO.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
MACAO, 8th February, 1883. The long-felt want of journalism in this colony is now admirably supplied by our three local re presentatives of public opinion: the Macanese, the Indipendente, and the Curreis di Macao, These weekly journals have already done a great deal of good in exposing to the public gaze the side of that peculiar textile fabric called scamy the Government of Macao. They have suggested aeveral important reforms in the administration of the colony; they have demanded in plain language the publication of our exchequer returns and expenditures; they have called the attention of the Surveyor-General's Department to the urgently needed improvements in the harbour; they have appealed to the Lisbon Government against the official abuses of various hues that adorn the branches of our executive. In a word, our local press has succeeded in tutoring public opinion towards a just appreciation of the political and financial status of this colony, and its present and future resources; also necessity of removing the quicksand which ion whercon been for ages the only foundation

is also at an end, a certain Captain Roza having been appointed Governor of Macao and Minister Plenipotentiary to China, Japan and Siant. It appears that the his only qualification entitling Captain Kora to such an elevation from his inferior rank of officer, is having been an aide-de-camp to Prince Don Augusto, brother of the King of Portugal. Events, however, will soon show what manner of man the lucky Captain is. The present Governor is said to have already engaged his passage home by the French mail; so
rosy successor may be saon expected here, to nestle among the thornis of our executive maladministration.

It transcribes, the long drawn sentence which comfamned, at Goa, the Archbishop of that diocese, for having canonically forbidden the publication of the journal A Crus, edited by a priest. It is doubtful whether the Archbishop will comply with the civil decree sentencing him to revoke his prohibition. The Maccense of to- day's date contains some very sensible remarks on the matter, the proceedings of the Archbishop being said to affect only the domain of conscience, not that of civil rights consequently, the priest- editor as a citizen could well afford to go on with the publication of his journal, although as a priest, he was bound to yield to his superiors, and auspend his issues.
