FRENCH CHAMBER MAKES

Paris, Nov, 20.
It has been reported from Shiv- cellencies the Governor of Hong- blog that a visit from their Ex-
kong and of Macao was contemplat- ed this week. The report states that the Canto, Government ad- vised the magh rates of the West River counties and the commanders of West River gunboats of the im- pending visit, and instructed them to afford ample protection to the foreign officials.
Enquiries at Government House yesterday elicited the information that no official visit was contem- plated by His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, this year. It is understood that His Excellency was to have visited Macao, but pressure of business has caused an alteration to the proposed itinerary, and the visit has been postponed until early next year.
