CANTON,
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
CANTON, 27th April. The French Consulate staff reached Mong Kal on the Kwangsi-Tongking frontiers on the aneventful passage up the West pleasant and river far as Nanning-fu. The whole distance from Canton was covered within a period of thirty three days. The Imperial Maritime Customs staff for the new Ports which left here amidst such ge-eral manifestations of good-will early" in the month have made rapid progress towards their respective destinations in Kwangsi and Yunnan. There have been rumours flying about that the Viceroy has met with some serious rebuff from Peking. Notwithstanding. His Ex ellency does not seem to be much affected if such be true, and he continues to draw the eye teeth" of some of the Mandarins who have for years fastened on the necessities of the many in this Province. His Excellency's latest feat in this direction was in extracting some Taels 60,0co as a donation to the Provincial Treasury from General Fong, of Swatow fame. The General's head-quarters in Canton are at the large Temple between the French Cathedral and the Steamboat Company's wharf on the northern side of the river, and the new Govern- General's residence into a back lot, and naturally ment reclamation scheme will convert, the does not find favour with this worthy military chief. At a recent interview with the Viceroy the General took upon himself to convince His Ex- cellency of the harm the, Reclamation of the
foreshore would do the country by compressing the water into a 'narrow channel and the distress in consequence it would cause the poorer classca The Viceroy listened attentively until the General had finished and then said that he was delighted to find the General had the welfare of the poorer classes so much at heart, for many reports had reached him crediting the General with far less lofty motives, but as the General had expressed such creditable sentiments, con- sidering the prevailing distress in the country and the General's reputed wealth, the Viceroy thought the General might give more practical proof of the sincerity of his opinion by making suitable contribution to the Provincial exchequer. General Fong took the hint and the Treasury is the richer by no less a sum than Ths. 60,000 contributed by the General and his friends. The Government reclamation scheme for bunding the whole southern foreshore of the city, has received Imperial sanction and is being proceded with. The Viceroy quickly took up the idea of the similar scheme in Hongkong and has adopted it, with the exception that the Government obtain the bencht by the measure and not the Public.
