It's too much to Indulge in even the slightest hope that the Portuguese Govern- ment will sanction the wishes of the Macao community; home troubles are too serious to afford a moment's consideration for Colonial Interests. Capt. C. M. DE BORJA, the present. Governor of Macao, is an exceptionally able man for his position, and as a thorough sailor with an experience that is world-wide, It cannot be doubted that he will throw in the whole weight of his influence. In favor of the reforms so essential to the colony's existence. But we fear all is in vain; the Lisbon Govern- ment will probably consent to move when it is too late.
